Well-run, well-priced restaurants along the busy A48 are all successful. Newnham is arguably the prettiest village on the west bank of the Severn that should be a hub for socialising and tourism and can undoubtedly support its own quality eatery. This was demonstrated recently by the dramatic turnaround experienced by the White Hart in Broadoak (outside of Newnham) that occurred when it changed management. In light of this, it seems obvious that failure to boost trade is not a reflection of demand rather the style of management and fare. The change of use of a historic venue to residential would remove an important asset for residents less able to travel and fundamentally and permanently change the nature of the village. It should at least be at least delayed until alternative management has had the opportunity to turn it around.

The simple crisp needs a better home to help keep our home, Earth, clean. By using a material that cannot at least be recycled for items such as crisps increases the global pollution crisis. Around 6 billion bags of crisps are eaten across the UK alone in one year which means 6 billion crisp bags are not recycled. If a sneaky crisp packet gets into the rest of your recycling the whole of the recycling can be rejected meaning less in the end is actually recycled. Packaging that can be recycled reduces the need for new material to be manufactured and actually helps us save energy! For example by recycling an aluminum can, we save 95% of the energy that it would take to create a new can! But for plastic - One ton of recycled plastic saves 5,774 Kwh of energy, 16.3 barrels of oil, 98 million Btu's of energy, and 30 cubic yards of landfill space.(Sandford University) Crisp packaging needs to be updated for the 21st century and needs to be part of the solution in the ongoing pollution problem and not part of the problem.

This has been a family run pub for 17 years. If these applications are allowed to pass, the landlord, a 68 year old man will be made homeless and the building will be redeveloped. Jonathon and Oz will no longer be running The White Bear. The end result is to re-open the pub after the refurbishments have been completed as a much smaller venue (lowered ceiling, reduced floor space) with no kitchen and no function room. This will mean no more home-cooked traditional food, no parties etc and with the rents this property company demand this will not be a sustainable business for anyone. They wish to make changes to the front of the listed building as well as redevelop the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors into self-contained flats. This will not be affordable housing for the residents of Islington, this will be yet more flats that local residents cannot afford to live in. We believe that, as a local community of residents and businesses, we need to pull together and fight for our local pub and stop allowing the 'big-cats' to force local residents out of areas that have been their homes their whole lives. This is important, not just for The White Bear, but for all of us.

This is important because a 74 year old gentleman was left to rot and decompose in a tent, on the bank of the River Severn in Worcester over the summer of 2016. Cardon Banfield came over with the Windrush community and was let down by the state in his final days. In a report by Worcester City Council, it was found that lessons can be learned from the death of Cardon. Councillor Lynn Denham stated that we should learn these lessons - and the undersigned believe we can only do that with a Safeguarding Adults Review. The Worcester City Council-funded CCP service (which the taxpayer pays £240,000 a year for) should have found Cardon's body. Help get Justice for Cardon, hold the right people accountable and stop another tent death happening on our streets again.

We are concerned about the following aspects outlined in the plan. • The reduction of A&E Departments from three to two. Wherever this closure maybe we believe that it will simply put further pressure on A&E departments in other parts of the county. • Closure of community hospital beds. • The further privatisation and fragmentation of NHS services within the country. • Closure of hospital departments putting further pressure on other services • The redeployment of staff which poses a risk to nurses and other health care professionals pay and terms and conditions. We believe that these proposals pose a direct threat to NHS services within the County and therefore we stand united in our opposition to these proposals. Please sign our petition to oppose these proposals and to save our NHS

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is planning for an extra 227,200 homes over the next 25 years. This is based on an unrealistic economic growth of 2.5% year on year and a flawed population growth forecast. If this plan is approved, Bury will bear the brunt of these proposals with 12,500 new dwellings on Green Belt land and a new industrial and warehousing site larger than Trafford Park at the M66 and M60/ M62 motorways junction. More homes are needed and new jobs are welcome, but we can work out ways to meet our housing needs and facilitate the creation of decent, well paid jobs in Bury without encroaching on the existing Green Belt land.

We love the Lower Lea Valley marshes (Leyton marshes, Walthamstow marshes and Hackney marshes). We love having such an amazing, unique, open green space on our doorstep, a place to reconnect with nature and let our imaginations run wild right in the heart of one of the most densely populated cities in the world. And we want to make sure the marshes are there for future generations to enjoy. This is why we are devastated to learn that the London Borough of Waltham Forest has launched a consultation on their vision for the Lea Valley Eastside (http://walthamforest-consult.limehouse.co.uk/portal/leabridge/leyton), which involves rezoning the large swathe of green open space around The WaterWorks Centre - part of Leyton marshes - for housing. This land is Metropolitan Open Land, which means it should be protected from all inappropriate development, just like Green Belt land. If these plans are approved, then the spectre of our marshes disappearing under high-rise tower blocks comes one step closer. We have until the end of January to tell the Council - loud and clear - that we will not tolerate building on our marshes. If we can stop these plans in their tracks, then we have a chance to save our marshes for the future.

Many people are evicted in the Private Rental sector with no good reason other than the Landlord wants to make more money This is a major cause of homelessness Landlords can evict without a reason , they dont need arears,unsocial behaviour they do not need to justify the eviction at all. This cannot be right in a country with a Housing Crisis To make an instant improvement in homelessness or potential homelessness and keep communities together Once they eviction takes place it often affects schooling,Doctors surgeries a persons place in the community We are the only European Country that allows renters to be treated so badly

The Government has recognised the vital role played by our maintained nursery schools and have stated; ,As the universal base rate is introduced, we will allow local authorities to continue to provide a higher level of funding to maintained nursery schools' (Reference, (15) page 8 Changes to funding for three- and four-year olds , Government consultation response , December 2016) Haringey's maintained nursery schools are all rated by Ofsted as 'good' or 'outstanding'. They have very good outcomes with regard to closing the achievement gap and supporting children with special needs. They employ highly qualified and skilled teaching staff proven to give the best opportunity for academic achievement . The petitioners request that Haringey Council recognise the school status of our maintained Nursery Schools and continue to support them in delivering the integrated early education and care which has benefited generations of children, especially those with special needs and from very deprived circumstances in their critical early years.

This is important because this impacts our most vulnerable families and will reduce and take away the services avaliable which have had a massive positive impact on our families. The services provided by staff are currently around early intervention. Our Children's Centre's provide a one stop shop of early help services.

The idea of fining those who already have so little, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold or ask for food and money is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable people and does not resolving the issues homeless people face. Other campaigns have successfully stopped other councils from imposing similar fines. This campaign is based on this information from the Redbridge council's website: https://www.redbridge.gov.uk/crime-and-public-safety/anti-social-behaviour/ If you have anything that suggests that this council are no longer able to fine people for begging then we'd love to hear more from you, drop us an email at [email protected]

The idea of fining those who already have so little that they are forced to sleep out in the cold or ask for food and money is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable persons and does not aid in resolving the homeless issues, instead it makes the situation worse. Fixing Penalty Notices can be issued by the Council and fines of £50 imposed. Failure to pay these fines can lead to prosecution that will criminalise those already vulnerable in society. Efforts should be made to help these people so that they don't need to beg. Other campaigns have successfully halted other councils from imposing similar fines. This campaign is based on this information from Worthing council's website: https://www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/safer-communities/pspo/ If you have anything that suggests that Northampton Council are no longer planning to fine people for begging then we'd love to hear more from you, drop us an email at [email protected]
