Josh (21) and Sam (19) sadly lost their Mum just 3 months ago in November 2016. They are still suffering the trauma of this loss and are grieving but trying to keep going. A major part of the stability they have left is living in their family home full of memories of their mother and a sense of familiarity and comfort. Sovereign Housing Association has taken the decision to evict Josh and Sam. In addition Sovereign Housing Association has stated that they have no obligation or intention to rehouse the boys. This immoral and heartless decision threatens the emotional wellbeing of both Josh and Sam and could have a detrimental impact upon their capacity to try to rebuild their lives. Please help to urge Sovereign Housing Association to make an exception and allow Josh and Sam to stay in their family home. To Sovereign its just another house but to Josh and Sam its their home and its where they need to be.

I am a disabled UK tax payer that had nothing to do with the state of the UKs finances and myself and every over disabled person in the UK can't be punished anymore.

To ease traffic and congestion and reduce financial losses to business.

The magnificent Galloway Viking Hoard, buried in the region’s soil 1,000 years ago for safekeeping, should have its home in Kirkcudbright’s new art gallery. We are calling on Fiona Hyslop to help make sure this happens and The National Museum of Scotland to agree. This would be good for tourism and the economy in a region that has suffered greatly in recent years and would make Scotland’s 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology something to celebrate.

The bus shelters in Milton Keynes are vital for people who get the bus to work or school every day. They keep people dry and out of the wind and the rain. Without these shelters, infants, disabled people and the elderly will be forced to wait out in the cold. Th council talk about the regeneration of estates but they are planning to demolish these bus shelters. If Milton Keynes, with seven deprived estates, is going to demolish their bus shelters, this could happen in other areas where councils want to save money. The demolition may look minimal at first, but this is no small demolition.

The kids love it and with the weather warming up it will be truly be missed! A lot of hard work went into the building of it and is loved by all of the local families.

If ever a junction needed pelican crossings it's this one (flag lane/wistaston road at the crossroads). I witnessed yet another near miss there today, when a child stepped out into moving traffic! He seemed distracted looking at his mobile phone and ended up literally a hairs breath off being hit by a moving car! Yes people shouldn't get distracted crossing roads, but it happens. There's also the need for vulnerable people to cross safely, ie: within an allotted time and with clear indication of when it is safe for them to do so. It is always an extremely busy juction, but during school term time is particularly horrendous with large groups of children of all ages heading to/ from the many different schools on that route.There's sadly going to be a serious accident one day. Please don't let a fatality be reason to act on this issue!

I feel that people should have sibling rights. I have been going through a kinship assessment for the last few months so i can bring up my little brother who is 1, to be unsuccessful for absolute ridiculous reasons. I applied to become his kinship carer after our mum died in june last year. I haven't seen my brother in over 10 months now, all i have had is 3 photos. Social work has said I won't be getting contact with him any time soon as he is being adopted and he might or might not be told about me and my family in the future, this seems to be happening far too much, children being kept away from their birth families and its wrong. I should be allowed to form a relationship with my brother so he can grow up knowing exactly where he came from and that we love him.

Trowbridge Birthing Centre offers crucial services for mothers and families in the area. I had two of my children at the unit, and the centre offered me a very personalised service. It is essential that women have the choice to give birth locally, and this unit is a respected and well-loved option. Trowbridge Birthing Centre also offers much needed antenatal and postnatal services for local women and babies.

There is no safe level of asbestos exposure. We don't want to wait 30 years for a cancer cluster in Cranleigh to prove that we are at risk from our drinking water. We want independent testing to be carried out now to assess the risk to public health. Almost 30% of the drinking water supply pipes in Cranleigh (highlighted in pink on the above map) are made from asbestos cement (AC), compared to a reported average of 2% throughout the rest of the Thames Water Region. The pipes are between 50 and 70 years old and frequently burst, increasing the amount of free asbestos fibres entering the drinking water supply. Evidence shows that ageing AC drinking water pipes also degrade internally over time through water friction and low pH levels, releasing free asbestos fibres into the drinking water supply. Furthermore, an increase in water pressure within these deteriorating AC pipes to accommodate significant housing development in Cranleigh will lead to more bursts and the release of more asbestos fibres. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has been testing for asbestos fibres in drinking water since 1992 due to decaying AC water mains. No one is testing our drinking water for asbestos fibres, no one is calculating the risk to residents in Cranleigh.

The enforcement notice at Caverswall Castle means the castle cannot be used for any commercial activity. The castle is unable to operate commercially due to the outdated and ambiguously worded enforcement notice. This needs withdrawing urgently so the castle can have a commercial use which will bring in money to maintain the property. This notice even prevents school children from visiting. If the notice is removed the Castle can be enjoyed by local people and tourists. It would allow the castle to bring in money to help maintain it and bring jobs and tourism to the local economy. 

 If the notice isn’t removed the Castle will continue to deteriorate and this could lead to the ruin of the only moated castle in Staffordshire.

Our NHS is being trapped in debt by schemes called “PFIs” - private finance initiatives. These schemes lead to private companies taking up as much as one-sixth of local NHS budgets. These schemes were designed to help NHS trusts invest in big projects - but they’ve been terrible value for money. In total the NHS will have to pay £80 billion for projects worth only £13 billion. And because these contracts run for a long time, the worst is still to come. Our NHS will have to pay another £55 billion by the time the last contract ends in 2050. That’s money that will never go to cancer treatment, maternity wards, or care for the elderly. The NHS was created to save lives, not pay off debt to private companies. It’s time to end this waste and let the NHS spend money on what it does best.
