In an emergency, every second counts. The cuts being proposed by Avon Fire & Rescue Service would compromise our ability to get to an emergency quickly and would limit our use of vital, specialist equipment to fight fires and rescue people. The cuts would mean the loss of 49 firefighter jobs, removal of full time cover at night from Yate Fire Station and downgrading vital aerial appliances and a heavy rescue tender which covers the motorway network. We know times are tight, but these cuts would compromise the safety of the public and of firefighters. Demand that public safety is put ahead of budget cuts. Please sign our petition and say NO to dangerous cuts. Thank you, Avon FBU.

More than 2000 people have initialed the board to say they like the use of this derelict space. Now the Council request that we remove everything. There are no declared plans for redevelopment yet and until there are, we request that the Community Garden remains. Daily users of the Royal Hill Community Garden range from parents and young children, people with dogs, professionals at lunchtime, retired people, unemployed people, and tourists. The garden offers a unique opportunity for participants to create an evolving environment which is both educational and therapeutic. There are 30 different types of creature ranging from rare stag beetles, woodlice, slugs, snails, ladybirds, spiders, bees, frogs, butterflies, moths and dragonflies, to a wren, robins, sparrows, magpies and woodpigeons. The security of local shops and neighbours has improved and footfall brings increased business to the area. Thousands of people are enjoying the existing garden and appreciate its contribution to the community.

As it stands, the current Extradition Act between the UK and the USA will expose every British citizen to arrest and extradition by President Elect Trump's new Attorney General without UK judicial review.

https://www.facebook.com/CarfreeGlasgow/videos/370608413272820/ Glasgow is the only city in the UK to have a six lane motorway cutting right through its heart. Yet, less than half of our households have access to cars. For the last 45 years we have all had to put up with a continual stream of traffic roaring through our city. Enough is enough. We want the chance to breathe fresh air and to hear ourselves think. We need the time and space to come together to start to imagine a more equal and sustainable future for our city. - Scotland has the worst health and lowest life expectancy in Europe. The physical inactivity encouraged by car use is more hazardous to health than smoking: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-18876880 - Glasgow has toxic levels of air pollution that breached World Health Organisation standards in 2016. Air pollution causes strokes, heart attacks and asthma and is responsible for over 300 deaths in our city every year: http://www.foe-scotland.org.uk/air-pollution - A quarter of our city's carbon emissions come from traffic, contributing to dangerous climate change. 2016 was the hottest year on record and the third of record-breaking heat in a row: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/14/2016-will-be-the-hottest-year-on-record-un-says We need bold and inspiring action to begin to address the crises caused by car use. We must radically re-think our cities so that everyone can get around easily and live healthy and happy lives without need or aspiration to own a car. Like many other cities around the world, Glasgow must also start dreaming of a time in the future when the outdated motorway infrastructure of the 20th century can be re-imagined and re-used in different ways. Our annual ‘carfree day’ will be the start.

Disabled people can no longer park near to the parcel collection office. Instead, a taxi rank has been painted where disabled access used to be. Many people with a disability who are unable to walk far can no longer collect their own parcel. This discriminates against disabled people and impacts their independence.

This would make the system fair. English people pay the same taxes etc. Many people pay large amounts for their medications out of their limited incomes and many people only get part of their prescription due to lack of money. This is detrimental to their health.

Evington ward has the highest proportion of elderly people in Leicester. Without this 54 bus service, residents along Gamel Walk, Gamel Road, Harringworth Road, Skampton Road, Davenport Road, Withcote Avenue, Oakside Road and Beechwood Close are effectively being cut off from access to medical care, shopping facilities and contact with the outside world. Isolation and loneliness in the elderly costs the NHS a lot of money. If the route was reversed and both the 54 and 54A buses were going the same way, then the turning would be better and there would be less likelihood of congestion.

The site of the proposed development is a hugely valued community resource, including Highgate Newtown Community Centre (HNCC), the Fresh Youth Academy (FYA) youth club, two working community allotments which provide the HNCC cafe with produce, and it includes three family homes, two of which have long term occupants. A general upgrade/renovation plan had been established, and local residents put an alternative to the massive housing development forward. But then the council upped everything, apparently interested in wringing profit from the project. They now plan total demolition of the existing building, replacing it with four huge buildings – a project that spells major disruption for at least two years, with a variety of problems for local residents. Cheaper and less problematic alternatives are possible. We the undersigned appeal to Camden Council to withdraw the scheme and work with us on such an alternative. ________________________________________________ KEY POINTS: • Camden have not proved they need to totally demolish Highgate Newtown Community Centre (HNCC) and Fresh Youth Academy (FYA) youth club • Many local residents have been against this development for months but Camden haven't taken their views seriously. One of our local councillors publicly pledged to not pursue this development without finding "a design that the entire community is happy with". We want to work with all our local councillors to achieve this. • Camden Council have a poor track record with major development projects, which are typically delivered over-time, over-budget and sub-standard. • FYA has had £300-400k worth of very recent investment, which will be wasted. • Camden Council say they do not want to make money from this, but they plan to save around £350k per year in revenue and may also get a cash windfall of around £2m. Our concern is that this is a high-risk strategy that could end up costing more than it gains. • The demolition and development will generate huge disruptions for local neighbours, nursery and schools for over 2 years with traffic, noise, dirt and pollution. • HNCC will only be able to run some services in those 2 years or more in different buildings in Camden and Islington. • Building 4 and 5 storey buildings in a small courtyard will substantially affect the neighbouring streets in terms of light and privacy. The proposed new building would tower over the buildings around it. • Sunlight/daylight studies in the council’s application show that many local residents’ windows are adversely affected by the development – losses of light potentially with legal implications. • 31 private dwellings built in a small courtyard to pay for this will add pressure to local services and notably increase traffic congestion. • A much-valued local garden in the heart of this conservation area will be lost, while an electric substation will be ‘gained’. • Two families will lose their homes. • HNCC needs to be given a long lease so funds can be raised to improve the building without having to move off site. ________________________________________________ FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT: Friends of HNCC https://friendsofhncc.wordpress.com/ “Local residents for HNCC” – Facebook group http://tiny.cc/HNCC

The thyroid is very susceptible to radiation. Thyroid cancer is a serious disease. At present - in the UK - there is no requirement for protection. In films made in the USA, actors playing staff involved in radioactive work can be seen wearing a protective collar. No such equipment is used in the UK.
