they went without thought of their own safety into an inferno

As parents/carers of children at Drayton Green Primary School we are writing to you to express our dismay and concern over the forthcoming strike action on 20/21 June and potential further dates. Whilst we appreciate the complexities of the situation and the difficulties both sides face, we don't understand why it appears that the governors are not communicating with the school community.   The school community would like the Governing Body to hold an information meeting before the end of the academic year so that we can understand your concerns, what investigations are taking place and what outcomes you hope to achieve.  The school community need reassurance that their concerns matter and that the Governing Body will listen to them.  By not sharing any information to date, many are making the assumption that there is nothing to discuss as decisions regarding academy status for the school have already been made. We are also asking that this petition is recognised as a formal complaint for allowing the situation to reach a point where our children are now being denied schooling. Yours sincerely Drayton Green Primary School Parents & Carers

Over the past 7 years there has been huge growth in use of both Davenport (41% up) and Woodsmoor (56% up). Many people rely on the trains for travel to work (commuting to Manchester and beyond, commuting to Stepping Hill hospital), visiting patients at Stepping Hill, travelling to education (Aquinas college, Stockport school, Great Moor School, Stockport Grammar) and for leisure trips. Northern should be held to account and fulfill their need to ‘transform’ rail services, a word they have been so keen to use in their PR but so reluctant to deliver in their actions

Other than making our beautiful beach look ugly the majority of the rubbish will end up in the ocean which is terrible for the environment and wildlife. It is also dangerous for beach users, left over bottles can be broken and glass can then be easily stepped on bearing in mind most people aren't wearing shoes.

We are a local village restaurant striving to attract customers to experience our freshly prepared food. As we provide soft drinks, customers use local shops for beverages. As a result this has increased village trade! Our vegetables and poultry are sourced by local suppliers to benefit local businesses. Our objective is to support our community, as we contribute towards our village events. We also enjoy accommodating our friends from the local care homes on their days out.

It is important because no person or company should make money out of the death of all the people who died or have been displaced, and any housing that is build should be for the people who once lived in Grenfell.

Saffron Walden is already short of swimming pool capacity. The swimming pool at Walden School is in imminent danger of closing down. The Lord Butler pool is at capacity and now showing it’s age. Without another pool a bigger proportion of Saffron Walden’s children may not gain the important life skill of being able to swim. 20% of adults currently can’t swim because of this. Swimming is the most popular sport in the country and keeping community fit is vital for all age groups to reduce the future burden on the NHS. The 160 members of WaldenJNR, the largest junior triathlon club in the country, will have nowhere to swim without another pool.

Shropshire-wide conference on the benefits of 20mph total system default speed limit on all residential roads in Shropshire. Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury, Saturday 30th September 2017, Between 13:00 – 17:00 You may already be aware that 20mph general system-wide, default speed limits are well established in the United Kingdom as a highly effective public health intervention, and an important contribution to increasing the amount of walking, cycling and creating attractive, people-friendly streets. Approximately 15 million people in England and Wales now live in areas where the majority of roads and streets have a 20mph speed limit. There is widespread public support (>70%) for 20mph mainly on road safety grounds. It is very hard to kill a pedestrian or cyclist at 20mph (9 out of 10 hit by a vehicle survive) but fatalities are more likely at 30mph (only 5 out of 10 survive being hit). There is robust scientific evidence that 20mph is a highly effective pubic health intervention, and increases the number of people walking and cycling which in turn reduces car use, congestion, greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality. Many of us have argued for five years or more for a Shropshire-wide 20mph limit, but Shropshire Council refuses to adopt this policy and the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia, John Campion has told us he does not support the idea. The conference will explore the degree to which the 20mph policy commitment can assist with the delivery of Shropshire Council’s priorities which include tackling obesity, reducing congestion and air pollution. 20mph limits have considerable potential to deliver 'policy CS7' in the Shropshire Council Local Development Framework Adopted Core Strategy: CS7: “It is important to recognise that the quality of opportunities for walking and cycling will encourage physical activity, and this would help to improve the health and quality of life of individuals within local communities”. We are organising a high profile conference in Shrewsbury in September 2017. This will bring together community groups, 20mph campaign groups, public health specialists and experts on the evidence that 20mph works well. 20mph is not expensive to implement, and does not impose extra burdens on policing through additional enforcement tasks. The idea is to raise public awareness and engage with the media and present Shropshire Council with a strong, irrefutable case for the idea. We are a community group with no funds. It has been estimated that paying for the venue and the travel expenses of the six speakers will cost approximately £1000. We would very much like to raise this amount through the crowdfunding route. If at all possible, can you please go to this crowdfunding site and make a donation. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/benefits-of-a-shropshire-wide-conference-for-20mph For further information on the conference please contact the organisers: Organisers are as below.

1. This tragedy must not be used as the pretext for social cleansing. 2. Those who have suffered the trauma need all the stability possible: children must be able to attend their usual school; community links must be maintained with e.g. religious centres, GP surgeries.

DWP are allowing companies that are assessing disabled people for PIP to classing the ability to push ones self in a wheelchair or the ability to control a powered wheelchair the same as being able to walk more than 20 meters. They are doing this to stop disabled people from getting the High Rate Mobility PIP This means disabled people are losing their Motability cars and scooters-powerchairs, taking away their interdependence and leaving them housebound. Over 60% of assessments are overturned on Appeal, but the Appeals can take up to 1 year to be heard. DWP are saying they are doing this to save money, When in fact they are spending more money on dealing with Appeals. Disabled people have the rights to be treated with respect and dignity and not like 3rd class citizens. Disabled people rely on their cars and powerchairs to have the ability to lead a normal life as much as they possibly can. Many have had to give up work and go back on benefits because of it. I am asking David Gauke MP, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to do the right thing and put a stop to this barbaric act of injustice against disabled people..

We recognise that an effective response to the horrific events at Grenfell Tower is not forthcoming from the Central Government or the Local Council, and that therefore the responsibility for safety of Londoners, the old, the poor, the young and everyone else falls to the relevant authorities with the largest democratic mandate from us. We therefore call on the Greater London Authority, and it's head the Mayor of London as well as London Councils to fit out all high rise blocks in Greater London that do not have fire sprinkler systems installed with fire sprinklers as soon as practically possible by the end of this year and if necessary using public funds. We also ask that the London Assembly to hold the relevant authorities to account on this matter, to make sure that all Londoners feel safe enough to sleep in their homes by the end of the year.

We would like to see a people parking bay or parklet in every street in Hackney. The provision of official parklets by Hackney Council in three locations in Hackney in three years is welcome and we recognise Hackney is ahead of the curve in London. However, it will take a millennium to have a significant impact on the parking environment in Hackney. Therefore, we would like to work with the Council to develop a community and business led 'parklet' programme that will allow people and businesses to invest in the public realm. This experimental community parklet allows the gauging of public support for such an idea. Please do let the experiment run its course. The bay is very popular with residents and passers by. The visitor book has hundreds of positive comments: https://goo.gl/photos/gUA8bbtaMamuCcUC8 Walking is the most common way for people to get around in Hackney but while car parking dominates kerbside space there is little provision for pedestrians to rest. Many people, including older and disabled people, and people with kids need regular rest stops while walking, and pavements are too narrow for walking let alone placing benches on them. The popularity of this people parking bay is demonstrating that resting spots for pedestrians are likely to very popular. The people parking bay was a lead article in Local Transport Today. https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/parking-review/news/53699/hackney-resident-wants-to-convert-parking-bays-into-people-places www.peopleparkingbay.com
