• Save Cosgrove Gardens, Carrhill Road, Mossley
    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

  • Make housing developers be transparent in Camden
    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.

  • Defend the London Bridge three
    Lee, Dave and Saeed responded to a call for asssitance from a pregnant colleague who was being assaulted by a fare evader. The fare evader punched Lee Cornell twice in the head and stole his glasses. London Underground failed to make good their commitment to their staff that anyone who abuses or assaults their staff will be pursued through the courts. Instead they turned on the staff and dismissed Lee Cornell and gave final warnings to Dave Sharp and Saeed Sioussi. We are demanding those sanctions are over turned.

  • GYBC please reconsider the licence application for a soup kitchen run by the Tribal Trust
    It has come to our attention that the licence from GYBC to be able to park and run a soup kitchen on the market place has been refused as the "soup kitchen is not required". Yet, over the last 3 months the soup kitchen has helped out a large number of vulnerable people with both food and clothing. If they were to obtain the licence, that would provide a central point for the Tribal Trust to work from and help provide for vulnerable people to meet for food and drinks / clothing and a friendly chat. It is a much required service in our opinion. https://www.facebook.com/TblTrust/

  • Stop using bearskin caps
    The MOD wrote in a letter to me that "the bearskin cap has been associated with the Guards Division since a Royal Warrant was issued by King George III in 1768 which ordered the replacing of the 'Mitre' Cap with a Cap made from the skin of a black bear." Don't you think that after nearly 250 blood-stained years it is time to end this shameful and unnecessary 'tradition'?

  • No More Homeless Deaths!
    It is abhorrent that in a country as wealthy as ours, a man has been allowed to die on the streets of Glasgow because he had nowhere to go. Glasgow City Council website states that: “As a minimum, the council will arrange for you to receive: Advice and Information Temporary Accommodation” We demand that Glasgow City Council acts immediately to fulfil it's duty to the people of Glasgow. Everyone who presents themselves at a Council facility as homeless, should immediately be provided with somewhere safe and warm to stay, until such times as they are able to find permanent accommodation. Furthermore, we demand an end to the policy of abandoning our friends who are deemed to have made themselves intentionally homeless. This unfairly punishes people unfamiliar with the law or who are victims of bullying by rogue landlords.

  • SUPPORT Plans to Build Tynemouth Watch House Garden CYCLE HUB
    The CYCLE HUB will compliment our beautiful coastline whilst providing a 'stand-out' attraction for the many cyclists, tourists and general public whom already frequent the Spanish Battery. The development will assist with the enhancement and preservation of the Tynemouth conservation area and local heritage for generations to come. North Tyneside attracts approximately 5.8 million visitors each year who inject £279 Million into the local economy, supporting over 3500 jobs. This proposal will open a disused private garden into a considerate, visually low-impact CYCLE HUB that will only be visible from the southern aspect on the River Tyne. From the outset the building has been sensitively designed to ensure the iconic views to and from the Brigade Watch House remain unspoilt. The building will be sunk beneath a manicured lawn at the same level as the current garden. We have even gone as far as to store refuse bins below ground level. Two large car parks already exist to provide customers with parking. Additional spaces will be allocated for the sole use of the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigades response vehicles, whilst residents parking will remain untouched. Those living on the Battery will be un-effected by the building as the aim is to cater for passing trade that already exists. The vast majority of our intended customers will arrive by foot or cycle. Our vision is to provide Tynemouth with a gateway amenity that links to the National Cycle Network and provides a valuable facility for Tynemouth residents and the wider general public. The development will ensure a notable finishing point for those tackling the challenge of the Coast to Coast/Coast to Castles/Great North Bike Rides. In essence the Cycle Hub will establish Tynemouth as a key destination within the cycling community. A multitude of independent reporting commissioned by UK GOV indicates that development and investment in cycling infrastructure and sustainable transport provides the following: • Creates inward investment to an area. • Brings more jobs and positively effects the labour market, contractors and wider infrastructure/services. • Increases health of those in the area, with exercise in excess of Chief Medical Officers guidelines. • Boosts the local economy and business • Creates a modal shift in the well being of individuals. • Increases social inclusion and connectivity. • Makes better cities and neighbourhoods. • A reduction in Crime Rate. • An increase in rental and property prices. • Eases congestion. • Improves air quality. The North East of England is renowned for its warmth and hospitality, we look forward to providing a facility that welcomes one and all.
