HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, the Chief Fire Officers' Association and the British Medical Association are among many warning of the potential collapse of our emergency services due to funding cuts. This issue affects all of us; the attack could have occurrred anywhere in the country. Fulsome words of praise from politicians are simply not sufficient. The best tribute which could be paid to PC Keith Palmer and all his colleagues is urgent action to fund the emergency services so that they are adequately resourced to deal with potential terrorist attacks.

Recognise this brave man's sacrifice on behalf of freedom and democracy. PC Keith Palmer tragically died, tackling the terrorist who attacked Parliament. He may fade from the headlines in the weeks and months to come, but renaming the gate after him will be a lasting tribute to someone who acted to protect all of us. This wasn't just a man doing his job, when Keith was called upon he took the decision to stand up for all of us, he went forward rather than running backwards. Renaming the gate at Parliament would cost nothing, but the gesture and memory of British bobby Keith Palmer's bravery will last for hundreds of years.

He deserves it

The eligibility criteria for receipt of Warm Home Discount, you could apply to gas and/or electricity bills and formerly covering the needs of a broad spectrum of especially vulnerable people, are being ever more restricted. The decision as to whom is eligible for WHD has been removed from Gas/Electricity companies and we must now await a 'government' letter as to whether we are deserving, or not. {Also, whether 'benefits' are increased in line with wages or prices is clearly immaterial if one has been excluded.] This is a further cruel and unnecessary austerity aimed at pensioners, people with disabilities, lone parents with a disabled child / children and others. Please pass on this petition. Thank you.

Adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) are failed in the UK by lack of dedicated and co-ordinated medical provision. The lack of recognition and knowledge of the degenerative impact of CP results in adults not benefiting from the timely monitoring, maintenance and intervention required to enable them to fulfil their full life potential. I am a 41 year old mother of 3 who has CP and until recently was living a full and active life working as a Speech and Language Therapist. I underwent major hip surgery in September 2015 to try to slow down the progress of the arthritis in my hips caused by the degenerative impact of the strain put on my body by CP. I am now unable to work and use crutches to aid my mobility. I have become increasingly frustrated at the lack of knowledge and services available for adults with Cerebral Palsy and I know my experiences are not unique. Adults with CP face unique challenges that often require specialised care e.g. pain management, mobility problems, and aging-related conditions such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Yet, co-ordinated services stop on transition to adulthood. The key barriers for successful healthcare are • The lack of young adult services and no obvious transition pathway from paediatric to adult services. • No best practice guidance on the treatment and management of adults with CP • Lack of knowledge and understanding of long term impact of living with CP The impact of these failings is unnecessary pain, reduced quality of life and avoidable medical problems for sufferers, whilst decreasing their ability to participate in the workforce. This is also leading to increased cost and strain on already stretched health and social care services. We are too big a population to ignore • 111,000 people have CP in the UK (similar population to MS and Parkinson’s) • The current UK incidence rate is around 1 in 400 births (making it three times more common than Down syndrome and nearly 30 times more common than muscular dystrophy) • Approximately 1,800 children are diagnosed with cerebral palsy every year • There are an estimated 30,000 children with cerebral palsy in the UK who will all require support as they transition into adulthood. • Research indicates that most will have a similar life expectancy to non-disabled people The costs of Cerebral Palsy • Care Commissioning Groups, Local Authorities and Trusts struggle to provide any information as to the number of children diagnosed with CP, the service and care pathways available to them or the total cost of cerebral palsy care (2016 study by Action Cerebral Palsy) • The lifetime costs for children born in 2016 with cerebral palsy is estimated to total £2bn. This is based on international benchmarks, with 20% related to medical costs and 80% to indirect factors such as reduced employment opportunities and premature mortality • Over 20% of CP sufferers will experience a decline in mobility by the time they reach 40

A SOCIAL care service supporting vulnerable people across Maldon and the Dengie is to be axed. One Support, which provides social care to around 1,600 elderly and vulnerable residents with physical and mental health problems, is due to be completely removed from the Maldon and Dengie areas by March 31. Carers visit clients at least once a week to help them manage their day-to-day life, including organising finances to helping carry out household jobs. The programme is a subsidiary of One Housing, which helps create homes and support people to help them live better and healthier, and is jointly managed by Essex County Council and Moat Housing. However, those who receive the support have been informed that the service will no longer be provided, as part of planned cuts of £713,000 to social care in Essex. It is understood ten staff will lose their jobs.

Whenever there is a terror attack or violent incident, ghouls and trolls qui kly post and share graphic images of people, regardless of the fact they could be injured, dying or dead. These are often posted within minutes, and the families of those people can see these images accross social media, finding out about the loss of a loved one in the most callous and uncaring way.

There are no facilities (shops, Cafes or Doctors Surgeries) on Lake View PHP estate and none planned for the foreseeable future resulting in residents having to drive to Weldon to access vital services. Children also have to cross the busy A43 to catch the school buses and pedestrians risk life and limb keeping fit. This leaves communities isolated.

People need to feel secure and safe on trains, particularly the elderly and young people. If there is a guard on the train passengers at least feel there is someone to help should there be a problem - either by unruly passengers, or if someone is taken ill, Please rethink this decision, For the safety and security of passengers.

Hello my name is tony Pearson i am creating this petition for diabetes as my partner is currently on a dafne course and has learned so much about managing and controlling her diabetes. Which to me is terrible because her usual meetings with her diabetic nurse appointments on 3-4 monthly meetings don't disclose the knowledge she could gain from a diabetic nurse who is dafne trained who could then show my partner a better way of learning how her own body works with blood sugar levels . So my petition is to ensure that the NHS gets the funding to train all diabetic nurses to be DAFNE trained instead of plowing millions of pounds into building submarines that just sit in a harbour gaining rust to apparently protect us from threat. From who ? Thank you for reading.

The suicide rate of young children is astonishing. Young vulnerable children are being exploited by bullies posting videos of their attacks on social media for all to share and see. Not only have they endured the horrific attacks physically but now they have to live with it spread all across the internet. This is humiliating and traumatic for any human being. As the world of social media has grown, the act of bullying has branched, we need to do something about this.

York is a medieval city with narrow streets, ancient buildings and lots of tourists. Moving around parts of the city during the day can be difficult and dangerous, especially for those with limited mobility. There is constant traffic in parts of the city where there need not be, car users taking advantage of their privilege with no thought to the safety or rights of others. I believe that removing cars from York city centre would be beneficial to tourism, as it would make moving around the city easier. Additionally, heavy goods vehicles have done damage to a number of ancient buildings on Stonegate and Gillygate. Goods vehicles should be restricted to those of an appropriate size for the narrow nature of the streets in the ancient part of the city. The rights of a few car-users are currently trumping the rights of the majority of York residents. Polluting our air, crowding the city and causing danger to residents and tourists alike. Pedestrianisation will encourage the use of public transport and bicycles to access the city, thus improving the air quality in and around York and working towards a more sustainable future. Improving pedestrian and cycle access from residential areas to the city will further improve accessibility for those without the privilege of their own car. There are many ancient cities in Europe that are either partly or fully pedestrianised, without a significant impact on tourism or business. Make York an example to the rest of the United Kingdom for preserving the heritage of our ancient cities.
