This city desperately needs more houses and we, the undersigned, are sick of selfish NIMBYism on the part of people who are more concerned about their view than they are about doing anything that might alleviate the housing crisis. It's about time those of us who us who want to see the crisis solved started trying to make our voices heard too. Also they've got 9,000 signatures for their petition opposing development in Stratford and that winds me right up.

The current proposals will leave us with insufficient funds to maintain adequate provision in our schools. If implemented as proposed, this will lead to many or all of the following consequences: · The number of teachers will reduce and class sizes will increase in primary and secondary schools · It will be harder to recruit and retain the best teachers · Options at GCSE and ‘A’ level will be cut leaving our students with fewer options and particularly put MFL, technology, PE and the creative arts at risk · Reductions in support staff will lead to less support for vulnerable children · Opportunities outside the classroom will dwindle or disappear · Training for teachers will be cut and time to plan lessons will be reduced · There will be insufficient money to keep textbooks, computers and other classroom resources up to date · Standards in schools across all subjects, including English and mathematics, are likely to fall The new formula must be sufficient for any of our existing schools to operate effectively regardless of their intake. We support the principle of schools that serve disadvantaged communities receiving additional support but this should not be achieved by making other schools unviable.

Because it's for the safety of everyone involved. Plus it's dangerous and also crime rate will now rise.

My son is currently serving in the army , his house is damp with mould in the majority of rooms, his youngest son has recently had his second chest infection but is only 1 year old ,the local doctor is convinced its due to the mould spores in his bedroom. Despite numerous complaints nothing seems to be getting fixed. Does someone serving their country really deserve to have to deal with poor housing as well as putting their lives on the line , and worry about their family when they really need to worry about where the next bullet or roadside bomb is coming from. He is not allowed to complain on social media so i'm doing it on his and his sons behalf.

Whitstable job centre reduced its hours to 2 hours a day and is now threatened with closure. Herne Bay job centre that offered a full 5 day a week, 9-5 service is also now threatened with closure.

British Airways are punishing Cabin Crew for taking part in legal Industrial Action. Cabin Crew are striking over poverty pay and fighting to earn a decent, living wage. British Airways have banned The Marie Curie daffodil charity symbol because they associate the colour yellow with Strikes!

This is important as much research has proven a link to serious health issues when a mast is set up too close to schools and homes. This is endangering a whole generation of children, simply because it is cheaper to put it where the company has decided they want to put it. It is reckless, dangerous, arrogant and counting on the ignorance of locals, who do not realise that their children are at risk. Please share.

The council should be helping to rehome these people. They shouldn't be moved out of town they should be helped. Our job is to get these people the help they need to better their lives.

Elderly, disabled and the vulnerable are effected by the lack of social mobility, inherent in this exclusion as a service. This includes public sector workers, those working at Blackberry Hill Hospital the UWE training site, UBHT and also any new housing developments being built. That impacts on the economic and social well-being of the city and people that use Number 5 Bus Route. None of the people using the route or that filled in the survey including my self were asked. Wether we would like any part of the service to be commercialised. Leading to NO public consultation by the council around these planned changes, including whether the council will guarantee any shortfall of provision if the commercial operator does not fulfil the void under Public Sector Transport. The Mayor talked about looking at transport as an issue here is his chance. To do something positive about that very issue.

It is not just families on benefits who are struggling to make ends meet and a charge of over £500 per year is a huge burden to those families who are not now eligible for a free bus pass . Free school transport is an essential for all those who live more than reasonable walking distance from school. This change penalises hard working families.

The youth project and KRAN are based at the Shed. They work with local young people many of whom live in Harbour Ward, one of the most deprived in the area. The young people receive sex and health education, drug and alcohol awareness, and help with writing CVs and applying for jobs. They are also encouraged to take part in a range of positive activities (such as sport, art, and music technology) and are able to make friends and integrate with other local young people. The Shed is a safe, non-judgemental space where all are welcome. One young person who uses the Shed said this, "People who find it hard to fit in anywhere else come here which enables them to feel valued...it also provides them with education and teaches them that everyone is equal no matter what their background is. We wouldn't have learnt these life lessons and morals if it wasn't for the Shed and the kind-hearted staff that give up their time to make sure we feel we belong."
