Please help keep open the highly thought of Moakes Medical Centre in Luton which risks being closed in the New Year. I know first-hand how vital it is to get quick appointments and have access to great doctors. If it wasn't for the quick actions of one of the doctors in this surgery, my husband might not be here now. She requested an urgent appointment at the hospital and within 2 weeks he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. 3 years on and he is still in remission. N.H.S. England and Luton Clinical Commissioning Group have taken the decision not to renew the contract for Moakes Medical Centre and are proposing to close the it in the New Year. This decision was taken in spite of positive reviews given in a patient consultation. Over the years many patients have built up a good relationship with the staff and the doctors, providing a first class service. This proposed closure will have a big impact on other surgeries in the local area, leading to longer waiting times for an appointment. Please can you to sign this petition to help me save this medical centre. Luton needs Moakes Medical Centre to stay open and continue to provide a great service to the community.

The government have announced proposals to close the Magistrates’ Courts in Camberwell Green and Hammersmith. This comes only months after a decision was made to close 84 courts in England and Wales including ten in London. When that decision was made, the rationale offered by HM Courts and Tribunals Service for one of the closures, Feltham Magistrates’ Court, was that there was capacity for Hammersmith magistrates’ court, described by HMCTS as a “modern purpose-built courthouse” to absorb its work. The closure of the busy Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court would leave four deprived London boroughs without a Magistrates' Court. The government’s consultation offers no assessment on the impact for the 100 or so, predominantly female staff currently employed at the courts. The difficulty in reaching alternative courts and the costs of traveling in London is likely to lead to more miscarriages of justice due to the longer journey times acting as a deterrent to victims and witnesses. The proposals place great emphasis on alternatives to the public physically traveling to a court building such as the expansion of digital technology and the wider use of video links. Existing technology is unreliable and often results in delays, and any new technology needs to be properly tested and evaluated before decisions are made on court closures. These further closures make no sense and will seriously restrict access to justice, causing further delays in the delivery of justice and undermine public confidence in the justice process.

The pub is the hub of the community and sits just opposite the church. It has been allowed to run down.The village feels strongly that in the event that it is not sold to a pub operator and that it will be used for development or, the owner wishes to de-license the premises for change of use, Members of the community may wish to buy it.

Because there are many children and adults who are non verbal or who have speech problems who need help to find ways to communicate other than speech.

I feel this is important for children to know that talking about mental health is ok and isn't looked down on. Also to show them the signs of a mental health disorders, how to help people that are affected and to tell them who they can talk to if they feel they are affected.

Because of the environment impact on the area.

The House of Lords is an anachronism and is stuffed full of politicians cronies and buddy pals sent there as a reward for services rendered to them that is not necessarily to the benefit of the electorate. We need an accountable second chamber to curb the excesses of the elitist Commons who have lost touch with the electorate.

While we welcome action against anti-social behaviour, Sunderland city council’s proposals for new Public Space Protection Orders seem to be focused on the persecution of homeless individuals. This is particularly apparent in the plans to stop ‘bin raking’. It is a disgrace that in one of the world’s richest countries people need to feed themselves, or make a living, from the contents of public waste bins. Imposing fines on these individuals, and those who beg on our city’s streets, would be pointless and counter-productive. It would serve only to distress the individuals concerned and increase the work and, therefore, the cost of police, community workers and the CPS. We appeal to Sunderland City Council to reconsider these plans and to take steps to address the underlying problems of homelessness, poverty and substance dependence. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/beggars-could-face-fines-under-new-sunderland-plans-1-8139928

Public transport is not reliable when staff work shifts as bus timetables are reduced and some staff are having to rely on buses and trains which can add up to 2 hours if not more on to an already busy working day when in some instances a car journey is only 30 minutes for the same destination. Staff are already under pressure to arrive at work on time without having to try and find a parking space. All we ask is that Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS continue to provide an off site car park for their staff to allow staff to travel to work in the knowledge they will be able to park their car safely and will have a parking space. The staff who already use the current off site car park are happy to walk the 10/15 minutes from the car park to the hospital and would be happy to continue to do this.

There is not a lot left in Knighton. If the Leisure Centre closes where will our children have swimming lessons? Where will patients on GP referral schemes have to go? When our public transport is poor because funding was cut how are people supposed to get to our 'nearest reasonable distanced centre'.

Iyad Burnat is a non-violent peace activist in the West Bank village of Bil'in. He is a well respected human being who has received awards and recognition for his work. The British gov't can not be allowed to continue their attempts to silence the legitimate criticism of the Israeli occupation and those who spend their lives struggling against it.
