Edward Colston was Deputy Governor of Royal African Company (RAC) - the dominant slaving organisation in the British Empire. Between 1672 and 1698, the RAC transported around 100,000 enslaved Africans to plantations in the West Indies and America. This included women and children as young as six – each enslaved person was branded with the company’s initials on their chest. More than 20,000 enslaved Africans were killed during the crossings. Their bodies were thrown overboard. Colston, RAC and Merchant Venturers became millionaires from this so-called 'business'. However, Bristol is full of resistance. Since 1920, Bristolians have rallied, boycotted and demanded that Bristol's institutions stop honouring Colston through statues, buildings and ceremonies. The Hall is 150 years old this year - now is the time. Use the 150th year celebrations to finally rename the Hall. Massive Attack boycott the Hall, as do other musicians and artists but the Hall's management continues to turn a blind eye to calls for progress. People of colour have been ignored and excluded even though they make up 16% of Bristol's population. We demand that our institutions reflect our communities and become accessible to all Bristolians. Enough is enough. We are proud of our city - Bristol is a modern, inclusive, multicultural place. We want to be proud of our main music venue.

This site is now a unique wild life habitat containing a rich mosaic of grass and shale. It would be nigh on impossible to replicate what nature has produced here. Leaving aside wildlife, the real threat from this application is to the health and well being of local residents which is very serious. The nearby M1 motorway is having a speed restriction imposed to try to reduce high pollution levels another 200 wagon (all diesel) movements a day from this site will only add to a that toxic mix.

People depend on JobCentres like Darwen's own. They help people to get back on their feet and find a much-needed job after a stage of having been unemployed, which is difficult for anyone. It isn't fair that some people, just because they may have been made redundant or because they cannot find a job on their own, will have to remain unemployed. Darwen is becoming a great town. Let us stay great and keep our JobCentre.

This junction is dangerous and congestion backs down from the junction to the Jamb in Corby. This is made worse during peak times causing delays for workers, children travelling to and from school and businesses.

If the NHS is good enough for the rest of us,it should be good enough for polititcians and their families and makes them experience what they`ve created.

Angela Merkel has demonstrated global leadership in her response to the refugee crisis. With the rise of the far right and destabilising influences in America the world needs to hold up leaders like Angela Merkel to show other leaders that compassion and action is the way to a better world.

Most people are aware of the pressures the Ambulance Service and the NHS are under. What many may be unaware of is the wideranging variances there are in Bus Lane use between Local Authorities. This makes it confusing, and reliant upon local knowledge, as to whether a Bus Lane may be used or not. Ambulances sitting in queues of traffic while Bus Lanes are free doesn't make much sense, as it delays patients and Ambulances when there is an alternative.

Please sign Petition and give your support too save all Sheltered Housing Complex's within the Glasgow area.I am currently living within a Sheltered Housing Complex and feel that i need too set up this petition to try save the support that i currently receive. Glasgow City Council(GCC) are cutting the support budget in April 2017 by 30%(£1,000,000)this leaves £2,000,000 to be shared city wide for all Sheltered Housing Support,as of December 2017 this £2,000,000 will be withdrawn leaving nothing in the pot for Sheltered Housing Support. We have an older population and people living longer and Sheltered Housing is a preventative service allowing older people to live in there homes longer and as independently as possible stopping us from reaching the HIGH NEEDS which GCC have stated that they wanted too fund. Sheltered Housing Support tenants to live in their own homes as independently as possible and support them maintain there tenancies. Reducing or removing the support i receive could resulting health deterioration, isolation and increase admission into hospitals, beds blocking because the older person may not or can not go home as there are no support for them until they are able to get back on their feet. Family members also rely on the support provided by Sheltered Housing staff to pick up deterioration in their family members health, they rely on Sheltered Housing staff to make sure there loved ones are safe and well,they rely on Sheltered Housing staff checking that their loved ones are on top off things like paying bills,collecting prescription's when unwell,light shopping, personal care when urgently needed,provide 24hour support and creating a safe environment for their loved ones too live in. All signature's will be collected an taken too GCC to show support in saving sheltered Housing Support. Thanks M Robb

There are no facilities for the young children and teenagers of our estate. There is a small park and that's it. Sadly we live next to the A20 Dover and when operation stack is in place we get cut off from everyone, so the children have no where to go or play as we have only one entrance and same exit for estate.

In my opinion as a Driving Instructor with 16 years experience this is just as dangerous to life. Day in day out I see vehicles parked on zigzag lines totally obscuring the view of the crossing. Only this week I caught on my dashcam a traffic police officer driving past a transit size van parked fully on the zigzag lines without even stopping. My pupil as she drove past said I can't even see if anyone is on the crossing. Maybe it will take a serious injury or worse before something is done but then it's too late. If you've taken the time to read this please sign and share it as you never know it could be your child or parent or yourself who might get killed. Thank you.

Men, women, kids (families) of all ages use this social club. There are a lot of family events such as bingo, karaoke, football, bands/music etc. It is a socialising place for people to meet.

This is for our Children, our Country. Look how far Badminton for Britain has come, if the funding plug is pulled now what does this say to the youth who have given Badminton, and this Country, their all year in and year out. This is 'the last leg', Silver and Gold medals for Badminton are in Britains' reach ! To remove funding now is detrimental to the future of Badminton, and all British Sport. British youth are proud to be competing for their Country, please do not take their pride away, .....especially when they are winning medals for Britain. Badminton won Bronze medals for Britain, the team are on track for Silver and Gold. Winning nothing for Britain, or Gold for Britain, all comes down to funding. Let's go for Gold !!
