We, the Leicester public, are rapidly losing our green spaces – 6 acres of allotments off Saffron Lane were sold last year. The Western Park golf course has been closed down, Oadby golf course is for sale as are 14 acres off Loughborough Road, 5 acres on Abbey Meadows and now 5 acres in Western Park. Without parks, where will our children learn to play football or ride bicycles? Will they have to pay an entrance fee? Where will we walk our dogs and breathe unpolluted air? We see our heritage privatised or gentrified, too. The Castle and its gardens, Wyggeston House, the City Rooms, the Pavillion in Western Park, Belgrave House, Braunstone Hall and now the rare surviving example of an Open Air School in Western Park. Heritage City, accessible only to those who can afford it? We say enough! Both the EcoHouse and the Open Air School are our heritage. Both were shining examples of progressive thinking, highlighting 'the way forward' in terms of public wellbeing and the health of the planet that sustains us. Clean air is a human right. The Council has Clean Air and Low Carbon policies. We want to see these put into practice - meaning the sell-off and building up of our green spaces has got to stop. As things stand, 20 houses will be constructed on the EcoHouse site. The heavily used carpark will be lost. Years of building upheaval will follow, as will the permanent transfer of our assets and park land into private pockets. This short term thinking - papering over the cracks of outdated 'economy first, people second' politics - is harmful to our rights and to the long term future of our city. Leicester City Council have no management plan for Western Park beyond 2016. Does this bode the sell-off of all of our beloved park? We, the people of Leicester, say no more selling off of our crown jewels! Our Mayor has pledged to build strong, resilient communities – how will he do this, if no space remains where those communities can come together? There are long term alternatives that put people and the future of our city before short term cash. Leicester City Council, put your pretty policies into practice, please.

Last year there was a fatal accident on Stratford Road, since then a young lad walking home from school was hit by a car. Does it take another fatality for action to be taken regarding some form of traffic calming? Living on SR, I see cars driving at very high speed everyday, if they clipped the curb they would take out a life. With the up and coming Wolverton Works the road is going to get even busier.

People in the area are suffering and are unable to receive treatment or obtain medication for even minor illnesses. They are now having to visit hospitals and walk-in centres putting mass strain on these facilities. If this issue remains unattended than it is possible that lives will be put at risk and may even result in death's!

Now hitting national & local press daily, plus radio stations is the closure of 8 public loos in Poole. They were closed without public consultation or surveys on use or possible community toilets schemes available. Visitors in Sandbanks are resorting to peeing in millionaires front gardens. Its Loo-Nacy, the locals are up in arms! As a tourist town it will die! Yet they waste £210,000 of our money on a Maritime Week, where is the logic? Penny Wise Pound Foolish You can read more here: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/15279167.Open_the_toilets_now__The_Daily_Echo_is_calling_on_Poole_council_to_re_open_public_loos/?ref=mac

We are delivery riders in Edinburgh and have presented a collective grievance letter to the company citing our concerns and requesting a meeting to address them. Deliveroo get away with avoiding giving their workers basic rights - things like sick pay, and holiday pay - by claiming we’re self-employed, even though the reality of our job expectations meets the criteria for employment. This is unfair not only to the workers, but to every business, council, or organization in the country which follow the rules - including the restaurants we deliver from. Deliveroo should not be allowed to continue undercutting other businesses, staff, and the country this way.

It's important because deducting the levy represents ill treatment of the smaller guys within construction: The subbies, one man bands and smaller businesses. It's time to put a stop to this and to take a stand against the illegal and immoral deduction.

Harmful pesticides are killing our bees at an alarming rate. They're currently banned across fields in Europe, but many garden centres are still selling flowering plants that have been treated with the killer pesticides. I'm a beekeeper, and I was really pleased this week when B&Q announced that from Feb 2018 they are going to stop their suppliers from using these pesticides on any of the flowering plants they sell. There's no reason that other garden centres can't introduce the same rule to protect our bees.

In 2011, the Scottish government proposed to harmonise pay, terms and conditions of all FE lecturers from Dumfries and Galloway all the way to Stornoway. We call on them to honour the deal, in order to protect the integrity of education and the rights of workers throughout Scotland. This strike is not just for lecturers in FE, it is for all workers throughout Scotland who refuse to accept negative changes to their terms and conditions and unfair pay.

Trafford Council have stated that from the 5th June 2017 residents will be charged extra if they want their garden waste collecting. This is a highly objectionable move by the council, which is completely unjustified, undemocratic and particularly unfair on the frail and disabled, as they would struggle to transport rubbish to their local tip. Residents are already funding waste collection via council tax, so where does it stop - extra charges for rubbish collection, education, environment, sewage, policing, fire service, housing, transport and health? Sign and stop it now!

Because it helps to stop drivers working excessively long hours to earn a living, helps them to enjoy rights that our society has worked hard to achieve and respects their place in a multi layered urban transport system

Croxteth Hall and Estate is a vital part of our community and it is essential that Liverpool City Council begin the process of finding an organisation to take over the running of the Hall and Estate. The Estate is currently losing over £1m per year, diverting much needed funds from an already overstretched council budget. It is clear that the council no longer have the will or the resources to prevent this stunning building and estate from falling further into disrepair. Opportunities for the local community are being lost due the current status and the uncertainty surrounding its future. The local community do not want to see another Stonebridge Cross, a development that has still not been completed and has not provided the associated benefits that where originally promised to the local community. We want to see the Hall and Estate put to better use, to be made into a beacon for the area and Liverpool, with access for the local community and the creation of jobs, education, training and much needed investment.

Mental health effects an amormous amount of people in the workplace. Employers do mot take you seriously, they follow the process to a limited extent. As I sufferer of depression myself , I have had first hand experience of this , no one should have to suffer in silence, or leave there jobs because of lack of understanding and support.
