Protesting pensioners Brian Quail and Angela Zelter have been thrown in jail after refusing to accept a court order banning them from campaigning outside a nuclear arms base. Quail, a 79-year-old retired Latin teacher, is being kept in HMP Low Moss, while 66-year-old Zelter has been remanded in Corton Vale. The two were arrested by police for taking part in a blockade of the nuclear warhead store at Coulport on Loch Long as part of the Trident Ploughshares “week of disruption”. The veteran campaigners and three others were offered bail at Dumbarton Justice of the Peace Court on Wednesday, but only if they agreed to not go “within 100m of the perimeter fence or shoreline of HMS Naval Base Clyde, Faslane”. Quail and Zelter refused to accept those conditions and will be kept behind bars until their court date on August 3. The National

There has been a great increase in the UK of acid attacks on innocent individuals. Those people have suffered severe burns all over their bodies with substantial facial disfigurement. The injuries the victims have are life changing and have a severe negative impact on both physical and mental health. The purpose of these attackers is to spread terror and fear amongst the general public causing people not to leave their homrs and changing their daily lifestyles. It's vital that the government introduces a strong ban on such substances.

Corby is the largest growing town in the UK and still has NO hospital. Kettering is the nearest town and also has a growing population. This centre is essential and must be funded properly.

This is important because everyone should have the same basic right to benefit from using public transport. Disabled people should not have to find going on buses difficult or even impossible. Trains already provide pre-booked assistance and announce the names of stations and what platform they will arrive at. I am simply requesting that First Group follows the basic steps I have laid out above so that they can help improve the quality of transport for all people, so that society as a whole can reap the rewards that come from the inclusion of minority groups such as the disabled. I am not asking for preferential treatment for disabled bus passengers, merely that we are enabled to use buses like everyone else. As it stands I, and many other disabled people find it difficult to use buses and either have to rely on the good will of drivers and/or the public or support from friends and family in order to travel. I do not want to make this a one issue cause by only talking about myself, but I will simply give it as an example, due to my visual impairment I cannot rely on sight to see what stop I am at while on the bus so if I am not told in advance I will miss the stop. Finally by not ensuring that their buses are accessible, First Group are violating Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities (UNCRPD), clauses 1a, 2a, 2b, 2e, 2f along with Article 19, clause c and Article 20 clause a and clause d. http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CRPD/Pages/ConventionRightsPersonsWithDisabilities.aspx#19

Education is the key to animal care and a lot of kids enjoy it, to then just take it away with no reason is very cruel. The staff and the children work very hard to keep the farm running. If it's about money why cant the students do more days to earn the money for the farm. History of the farm and how if started: A TEACHER who set up a farm in the grounds of a Coventry school has retired after 37 years. Sean O’Donovan, 60, who was assistant head of Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School, had spent his entire 37 year teaching career at the secondary school in Potters Green. During his time at the school in Potters Green Road, he created a school farm and gardens. When he arrived fresh from an education degree at Bath University the grounds looked very similar to other secondary schools in the city. Now, between playgrounds and classroom blocks, are paddocks for ponies and alpacas, enclosures for chickens and vegetable gardens. There is also a walled fruit garden, a duck pond and a building housing rabbits and guinea pigs. Scores of city children have been inspired to do work experience on farms and do college and university courses in animal care and agriculture. He also forged a link between Cardinal Wiseman and the East African state of Malawi. The school fundraisers for a health clinic and two primary schools. Each year a party of older pupils and staff visit. They deliver medical supplies to the clinic and oversee a health and nutrition programme they have set up at the two schools. They also advise on setting up a school farm similar to the Cardinal Wiseman farm. Among the highlights of Mr O’Donovan’s time at the school are the day Prince Charles visited the school farm. Another highlight was a sustainable schools award in the annual Teaching Awards. Another event that stands out was an invitation to visit Prince Charles’ residence Clarence House with some of the farm animals. Mr O’Donovan found he had to apply for a performing animal licence to take two of the farm’s piglets on the visit. He said: “I will miss the relationships with staff and pupils I have built up over all the years at the school.” Head Helen Knight said: “When I visit primary schools many parents tell me that they were taught by Mr O’Donovan. He is known and loved by all pupils at school and he has made a huge difference to the life of the school through the farm and many other things “I am delighted to say that he will keep up contact with the school as a consultant on rural dimension so that the farm and gardens continue to develop” In his retirement he will also do volunteer fundraising events for Malawi schools and health clinics, see more of his nieces, nephews and godchildren, travel and move to a house with a bigger garden. The school board have now decided they want it closed without any thoughts to the children and the staff who run it instead of working with them and the parents, they are working against them. Give us a year with another option.

The Prince of Wales is a conerstone of the Gloucester Road community with an ethos of supporting fellow independent traders. It has the reputation as a meeting place, cosy abode and traditional boozer is known throughout Bristol. The Prince of Wales is part of a large collection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants which run along the Gloucester Road. This independent ethos encapsulated by The Prince of Wales would be at great risk if Enterprise Inns were to introduce their own managed house in place of our beloved local. Enterprise Inns want to forcibly remove me as a tenant from The Prince of Wales and turn it into a managed house run by the Bermondsey pub company. They aim to run a chain of 200 pubs by 2020, replacing individual characterful community pubs with generic chain branding.

The Kurtsystem is a £20 million machine designed by 'rollercoaster engineers'! Young horses (30 at a time) are harnessed in forcing the horses to gallop at 30mph! Horses are as individual as you or I. No two horses will gallop at the same speed on any given day. Being harnessed in with no way of escaping this contraption, the horse is given no choice but to gallop, how can this be ethical or in the best interest of the horse? Lets not kid ourselves, this is all about making more money out of defenceless animals. This is an industry that is already worth over 3 billion pounds!! Whilst at present the general manager of the Kurtsystem claims the machine is only used on young racehorses pre-training to make them stronger, how long will it be before we see all racehorses being trained in such contraptions? It's barbaric and needs to be stopped.

The saving of £1.6 million would be counterproductive as cutting bus services in Cheshire East will have undesirable consequences and cause distress and inconvenience to many residents. We believe that the following groups would be more adversely affected; the elderly, disabled and infirm, the young and people on low incomes. Getting to work, shops, schools, colleges, doctors, banks, social events and hospital appointments would be made more inaccessible. We also believe that trade in towns and town markets will be affected. The stopping of evening services will have a negative affect on restaurants and pubs and other social groups. We are concerned that the withdrawal of bus services will result in more cars on the road and significant reduction in air quality. Many of the towns and villages are growing in size and as a result we should be given improved services not declining ones.

In October this year EDDC will decide on future development for the Port Royal area of our seafront. This follows a scoping study done in conjunction with Sidmouth Town Council. The large-scale development put forward in the consultation (and as proposed in the Local Plan) will have a huge impact on the views, use of the area and change its unique character. People in Sidmouth have been asking why the area can't remain as it is, with subtle improvements and changes. We now call on EDDC to reconsider their plan for a large new building and adopt our proposal to Retain, Refurbish and Reuse. Retain existing buildings, allow careful refurbishment of the whole area and open up discussions on potential uses for the Drill Hall.

WITH A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN/YOUNG AND VULNERABLE ADULTS BECOMING ADDICTED TO SUBSTANCES (Many of whom suffer from Mental Health issues) IT IS A VERY MUCH NEEDED FACILITY TO SAVE OUR LOVED ONES. WE ARE THE ONLY PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS FACILITY. EVERYDAY WE HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE AND VULNERABLE ADULTS TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES BECAUSE OF THE HOPELESSNESS OF TRYING TO SEEK HELP AND NONE BEING AVAILABLE, OUR HOSPITALS ARE BEING STRETCHED BEYOND COPING WITH CONSTANT ATTENDEES HAVING OVERDOSED OR SERIOUSLY SELF-HARMED THEN AFTER BEING TREATED THEY ARE SENT HOME TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN AS A MUM I HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT AND PLEADING FOR YEARS FOR SUCH A FACILITY AND AM TIRED OF BEING FOBBED OF BY THE DUAL DIAGNOSIS CRY AND BEING PASSED FROM PILLAR TO POST WITH SERVICES PASSING THE BUCK ONE SAYING IT IS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE THE OTHER SAYING IT IS AN ADDICTION ISSUE, WELL LETS SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY PROVIDING A FACILITY WHERE BOTH ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED. IT IS WRONG THAT AGENCIES ARE EXPECTING ADDICTS TO BE CLEAN FOR 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN ENGAGE WITH THEM IF THEY COULD BE CLEAN FOR 6 WEEKS THEY WOULDN'T NEED THE SERVICE AND IT IS WRONG FOR THOSE SUFFERING WITH MENTAL HEALTH TO HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH ILLNESSES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THINGS NEED TO CHANGE. PLEASE HELP TO MAKE THESE CHANGES HAPPEN BY SIGNING THIS PETITION THANK YOU ANNIE DAVEY (Reaching Out Action Support Group)

The proposed closure of the Millbrook Unit has serious implications for the health and wellbeing of thousands of Cheshire East residents across the entire borough and threatens to damage the lives and treatment of so many. Government and council funding cuts have left our local health services stretched to the max, with mental health provision now dangerously poor. The closure of the Millbrook Unit would mean patients and families having to drive over an hour to access the care and treatment they so desperately need and deserve in Chester or on the Wirral. At a time when we are facing a crisis in mental health, we cannot allow this to happen. (Petition organised by Rob Vernon on behalf of Macclesfield Constituency Labour Party)
