8500 people per Year in the UK have their Feet/Toes/Fingers amputated because Diabetes.org/NHS refuse to engage in Clinical trials and use the latest low cost Edison Award winning treatment available. This product is already FDA approved and freely available in the U.S. It is a fundamental human right to have the right to have access to this low cost treatment and yet nobody in the NHS will engage . This can also conservatively save the NHS at least £30 million to £35 million per year .

I am a disabled stepmother to a beautiful and bright 4 year old who started school this September. As September drew closer, I became excited by the idea of being able to have an active part in his school life, meeting other parents, and even helping out in school. But as I am also a disabled person, this dream has not been so straightforward. Whilst my appeal was upheld by the independent schools' admission appeals panel, this is not the case for all disabled parents who are allocated inaccessible school placement for their child(ren) under Birmingham City Council’s schools admissions policy. Many disabled parents are being given school places at schools that are both inaccessible to travel to and to get around. Had I not been successful with my appeal my stepson would have either had to have been home-schooled (which is not a decision I feel is right for him) or we would have had to pay out for before and after school care that we wouldn't actually need, purely because of being given a school place at a school that wasn't accessible for me to get to. Our case is not isolated. Across the country there are 2.1 million disabled parents, many of whom are either having to fit the bill of expensive childcare that they wouldn't need if they were non-disabled, or travel costs, which are frequently not covered by the local authority. Some disabled parents have even chosen to home school simply because the childcare costs are not sustainable. I believe that Birmingham City Council schools admission policy is both discriminatory and illegal as the city council does not often make reasonable adjustments for disabled parents and carers as is required under the equality act (2010). If Birmingham City Council changed their admissions policy it would be a step towards making disabled parents far more included in their children's education. It would be helpful for the Department for Education’s Schools Admissions Code to include guidance on how councils’ schools admissions policies should comply with their Equality Act 2010 duties around disabled parents request for an accessible school for themselves. This has been recommended on a national level by various charities - including the Alliance for inclusive Education

It is important to for a government to support and look after those who are most vunerable in society. If we lose track of the basic fundamentals of decency, then we have no right to call our country 'great'. Added to this, the threat of reducing the income for those in support to the level of JSA - regardless of the pain suffering and extra cost that being severely ill incurs. To be placed in the support group proves that the person has illness that shows they are unfit for work. To push these people who are already trying to cope with the most basic day to day needs, is barbaric, cruel and shows a government with no empathy at all.'

"A peerage would bring Mr Farage into Parliament, to which he has consistently failed to be elected." Nigel Farage consistently slammed the EU for being undemocratic and continuously sung the song that our laws are being influenced by unelected officials. People who voted to leave Europe did so for these reasons, amongst others, and so for Farage to be made a lord would be entirely inappropriate. 52% of the EU referendum voters do not want this going on - the referendum already told us that, and Farage himself led the campaign to leave - however, there are surely few people within the 48% of Remainers who would like to see this peerage granted either. This would be the final nail in the coffin of the UK's pale imitation of a democracy.

The transfer and processing of waste in an urban area with ecological sites nearby is unacceptable. Increased noise, stench, dust and vermin on the site, increased HGV traffic, and an increased fire risk would affect: - residents' health, quality of life, and safety - local wildlife including protected and at risk species - air, water and soil quality - local businesses, private properties, a playground, schools and roads A factory that can process waste 24 hours per day, with HGV’s traveling through an urban area night and day is unacceptable. We call on Lincolnshire County Council to reject the application.

One life lost is too many and the people of Shotton want to let the irresponsible speeders know that enough is enough. Pedestrians and other road users need to feel safe in Shotton and the only way to stop speeding is to slow the irresponsible drivers down before another life is lost.

The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs want to repeal the RSPCA's right to prosecute in private animal abuse cases because Government say doing so is a conflict of interest with their campaigning and fund-raising this is not the case and is just a cover to pass this through Parliament. If our Government was so concerned with the rise in animal abuses they would invest in the RSPCA to bring about more prosecutions so that RSPCA would not need to spend so much time and resources in campaigning and fund-raising to bring animal abuses to the forefront. I strongly suspect this repeal is to protect huntsmen from prosecution in fox hunting and other blood sports that is banned as it is a well known fact that Government want this important animal protection act repealed. This must not be left to the Crown Prosecution Service to bring about animal abuse cases as those cases will be eroded in favour of more important human criminality and given the pressure the CPS is already under it is right that the RSPCA has this right as the RSPCA around the world does and besides the Police Force have enough to deal with as it is whilst under immense cuts to services themselves. At a time when hunting and various other forms of abuse is on the rise not only in the UK but around the world this is not the time to relax such powers if anything they should be enhanced given that animals have just as much right to live on this planet free from harm and suffering as we humans do.

Local authorities are able to provide rural bus services which would not be viable if under private ownership; they can cross subsidise them from more profitable urban services. Local authority bus services must be an option within the Bus Services Bill. In Nottingham, the Nottingham City Transport has invested in electic buses and hydrogen fuelled transport which is reducing air pollution in Nottingham. They are an award-winning service. The private buses are predominantly diesel.

Many tenants are being evicted from their housing association houses and forced to rent privately. Most of the tenants are in work and have paid their rent on time. The private sector landlords are asking these tenants to have an guarantor. Where can they find these guarantors? They are not students or are wanting to leave home. These people are finding themselves homeless because of this. Do not volunteer to be a guarantor as the risk becomes all yours, not the landlord or tenants. Landlords can get insurance to cover the possibility of rent arrears but this perk isn't available to guarantors.

These four practices set to be closed are all in the worst off areas of the city. These changes will certainly widen the already huge health inequalities in the city. NHS England say that small practices are "unsustainable" and that there is nothing that can be done to keep them open. This is wrong and based on a "market" view of healthcare. Instead NHSE must work with communities and providers to find innovative ways to keep GP surgeries viable in the areas of greatest need. The decision has been made without the without proper consultation, important decisions such as this should take patients and communities voices into account.

Why we need to save "Around Poplar Children's Centre" - The centre is the hub, bringing together hundreds of parents and providing invaluable services to people of diverse social and economic backgrounds. - The centre has created a friendly, supportive, welcoming environment for parents who can share their concerns, worries and seek guidance from experienced staff - The centre provides not only children play sessions, but vital services such as health assessments, midwifery and psychotherapy, advice on domestic abuse, getting back to work, as well as important workshops on introducing healthy eating and sleeping habits to the youngest members of Tower Hamlet’s community - It is an indispensable resource, helping new mothers beat post-natal depression, loneliness and isolation. - Keeping this centre open will save money by reducing many GP visits. - At this time of unprecedented development and population growth on the isle of dogs, there has never been a greater demand for this facility for new parents in the area. - In fact it is so busy that several times I have been unable to get in because it was so busy. - The staff in the centre, their knowledge and dedication to childcare, supporting parents in bringing up healthy, confident children is second to none As a new mum, with a premature baby girl, the first six weeks were stressful. Then I discovered the Poplar Children Centre, and the caring, knowledgeable and supportive staff who are always on hand with crucial advice and who have made such a difference for me. My baby is now coming up for 14 months old and we visit the centre 3 times a week. We both love the social activities with other babies and mums. The centre has been key in our physical and emotional well being. Meeting other mums at the centre has been an enormous support too, and I have a great sense of belonging to this community of friends. The centre provides facilities that money can’t buy and it is hard to imagine a better alternative.

With the high proportion of elderly and/or infirm residents, added to the increasing population of mothers with baby carriages, the condition of the pavements in the Leiston Road and Victoria Road areas are extremely poor and liable to cause trips, falls and damage to persons and personal property. In particular the pavement on the east side of Leiston Road from The Drift to Mariners Way and on the south side of Victoria Road from the entrance to Kings field to the junction with Park Road, at the library, are main routes to both the supermarkets, and the town centre for residents of the Plantation estate, especially the supported bungalows.
