The morale of the NHS staff is at a low ebb and hardly surprising considering how unfairly they are treat compared to other employments. Where else would they condone the loss of holiday entitlements without compensation/remuneration? In this day and age it is a scandal. Our NHS are losing staff and it's hardly surprising. We need to support them and stand up for the abominable disparity that exists between working conditions in the public and private sector. No one, in this day and age, would condone the loss of almost a full weeks holiday entitlement due to staff shortages. We need our NHS staff, this is only one, of many, injustices we need to rectify.

It's important because there are a shortage of accommodation for the general community, an feel it is wrong to build for student accommodation, as there is a majority of building developments city wide more than enough and not enough for families in that area

Houston Farm provides riding lessons and for all ages, including special needs and disabled children, many of whom have ridden with the Comries for years and very much treat the riding school as a second home. The Comries have provided a safe haven for many Adults and children where the horses have helped provide personal challenges, develop responsibilities and support in times of hardship such as bereavement. The Comries have provided work experience to Oatridge college students and equine experience for the many children and adult helpers. The Comries run regular Pony Clubs, fairs and Ceilidh’s and other fund raising activities to support the retired horses and other charities such as Red Nose Day and is very much more than just a business. Houston Farm cannot be allowed to close, it is too important and provides so much benefit to so many people, of which many are local.

Wandsworth Council is allowing developers to push through planning for this historic building to be demolished before Special Protection for pubs in the borough is introduced in August. North Battersea is already going through extensive change, with excessive development taking place. The local community demands that adequate amenities and services are provided. Otherwise the area risks losing its appeal as a leafy suburb and will become nothing more than a high rise dormitory.

The Bank of England is weighing up whether to use palm oil or coconut oil in their new banknotes. Palm oil plantations are currently a leading cause of rainforest destruction, destroying the homes of endangered Orangutans who are treated like pests and killed to aid the palm oil industry. The Bank of England faces a simple decision, to use destructive palm oil, or opt for a more sustainable alternative such as coconut oil. This decision could have a ripple effect in other countries too as they follow suit and produce new types of bank notes.

It is unfair and discriminatory for Court staff, Judges, Barristers, Solicitors, and court users, particularly those with children. It will have a detrimental impact on well-being and diversity at the Bar and Judiciary. It is hard enough for parents at the Bar to make it work. It jeopardises work-life balance. It is impractical and fails to take account of the cab-rank rule, listing practices, and that lawyers need time to prepare their cases and travel to and from court. Overall, all those working in the courts deserve to have a good work/life balance, and the ability to see their children. This should not be forced upon lawyers, Judges and Court staff. This is a regressive step and a barrier to greater diversity in the profession and on the bench and in particular will be a further obstacle to the retention of women.

Children with emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties are being denied an education. In BANES (Bath and North East Somerset) there is currently only one EBD (Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties) Unit for primary age children. It offers places for just six children. The future of this Unit is now under threat and it is expected to close in the summer of 2018. The decision about the future of the Unit will be made in the next couple of months. I am the mother of Winnie who started at the school in January 2017. Winnie is a lively, bubbly, charismatic nine year old girl who also has social, emotional and learning difficulties. My daughter has the ability to learn but she needs a lot of encouragement and support to help her with this. Since moving to St Michael's she has flourished. She is receiving the support she needs. We have seen huge progress in her behaviour at school. She is playing with other children again, she is listening to the adults and she is starting to read and write and show an interest in the world around her. And we are starting to see the bright bubbly girl who had disappeared in to a shell of hostility, emerge again. The school understands her. They have the skills and experience to manage her behaviour and they have found a way to encourage her to learn. Gaining a place at the school wasn't easy. We had to fight for it because its is the only school in the area that offers this type of support. Prior to this she attended a special school. During her time there she regressed in every single way, emotionally, socially, behaviourally and academically. Although a lovely and well respected school, it’s strength lies in dealing with severely disabled children, not children like Winnie. There is very limited provision for children like Winnie within the education system. Many mainstream schools do not even return your calls when you phone to enquire about SEN (Special Educational Needs) places. Children with additional/special needs affect Ofsted ratings. Gaining a place at St Michael's wasn't easy. We had to fight for it. And now we have been informed that due to cuts in government funding and the increasing pressure on schools to meet government targets, the St Michael’s school governors feel it is no longer viable to run the Unit as part of the mainstream school. There is nowhere for children like Winnie to go. What will happen to these children? What will their future's hold? Surely in the long-run denying them an education will cost the government far more? Children like Winnie have potential. They may not grow up to be brain surgeons or stock market traders, but they do face a bright future if they are given the right support while they are young. Denying them this support is denying them a future. These children deserve an education. Without an education they have no future. This is a petition to save the St Michael’s EBD Unit. It is also a plea to the government to not forget these children and to provide them with the help and support they not only need, but above all else deserve.

Although the bus services have now been revised and the original planned cuts have been reviewed with many services re-instated/protected; there still is the issue of cuts to subsidies for rural areas such as East Riding of Yorkshire from Central Government. We believe that public transport subsidies should be ring-fenced to protect supported services in rural areas. At present the revised services are leaving vulnerable people, those ‘medically unfit to drive’ and the elderly cut off from friends, relatives and essential facilities.

The Isle of Dogs have been plagued with repeated road, construction, utility and other works that have made the lives of residents, pedestrians, cyclists and the motorists very difficult, risky and unbearable - causing dangerous traffic conditions resulting in chaos, congestion and serious health and safety hazards. From the infamous shoe-protest in March 2016, when Docklands residents tied their 26 pairs of shoes to railings along Marsh Wall in the Isle of Dogs in a protest against traffic situation – things have not really improved. Unfortunately, despite requests to the Tower Hamlets Council and Mayor Biggs, the situation has failed to improve until something goes wrong and complaints are made or issue is highlighted in the media.

This is not 'wasted, surplus or under-utilised' land - it is a well used, respected and important community asset. Local people value this green park very highly - it is a communal and vibrant community space offering safe play for children and offering calm, perspective and solace for people of all ages. It is part of Mossley's rich heritage and culture and was gifted to local people. If you take away our community there will be no community. No place to gather, to share, to enjoy, to engage with each other. No place for cohesion, for young and old to connect. Take this space off the 'for sale' list - give it back to the community where it belongs. We will sit in this space, we will talk and walk and play in this space. We will think and reflect in this space. We will be proud of this space and of our town. We will maintain it, preserve it and allow it to prosper so it can be enjoyed and appreciated by this and future generations. It is hugely important to us. GIVE COSGROVE GARDENS BACK TO US

autistic people are a huge contribution to our society, in many ways they are superior to so-called normal people and they deserve our respect. Many of our brightest minds and our greatest achievers are autistic and autistic people need to be protected

Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths. Resulting in more affordable and social housing for Camden.
