The current Nuclear proposal is on hold but significant pressure from China and the scientific establishment lobby groups not offering up an agreed alternative means we are at one minute to Midnight. The current option is unproven nuclear technology funded by China and is not fully accounted for in terms of even finishing the initial build, waste management and safety. Some scientists say that we cannot rely on renewables due to lack of energy storage. However, there are many storage systems that with just a fraction of £18 Billion invested in them could deliver. As the energy storage business is small in comparison to the nuclear industry its lobby power is small but should not be overlooked. Also, investing in the nuclear industry does not lead to export opportunities that a powerful energy storage business could offer as most western nations have turned their backs on nuclear but are highly interested in mass energy storage systems. The remit of the committee should include export opportunities for mass energy storage systems, energy efficiency and policy, as these are currently delivering only a fraction of the potential there .

There will soon be a fatal accident. It is a residential road that is used for speeding by a variety of motorists. The noise level is awful at night and causes disruption.

After the recent murder of a well loved local man in St helens town centre who was tragically killed by a member of the public carrying a knife, the people of St helens feel that we need more measures in place to protect ourselves and our security staff when out enjoying ourselves with friends. The people of St helens need to feel more safe when out in pubs, bars and clubs and would like to campaign for searches into clubs, metal detection on doors for people carrying weapons, and stab vests for our door staff risking their lives to protect the community. Unfortunately Danny fox the young man who was killed tragically lost his life after trying to look out for other members of the public and this is something we don't want to see happen again in our town. I know the whole community has really pulled together at this very sad time, and I think a lot of the people of St helens will agree with these measures being put into place. So can we please get as many people as we can to sign the petition and show our support for making St helens a safer place to live in honour of Danny.

Barclays has a 97% stake in Third Energy - the company who want to frack North Yorkshire. One of Barclays values is to "find ways to positively impact all of the communities we interact with". The people of North Yorkshire don't want fracking! Third Energy are planning to build 950 wells over 19 sites which will have a seriously negative effect on health, climate, the local economy etc.

Bus journeys,, are slower, less comfortable and more expensive than rail travel, in most cases between the major towns in Cornwall. Allowing use on the railway would save Cornwall Council money and provide the elderly and the disabled with a valuable alternative means of travel. To encourage the implementation of the extended scheme, it could be made subject to the purchase of an annual railcard e.g. the Devon & Cornwall Railcard which costs just £10 per annum and which also provides a discount for an accompanying passenger.

68 beds were closed last month, nearly 7% of capacity. Even with all the beds open, the staff at the NNUH struggle daily to admit emergencies. Fewer beds means more people stuck in ambulances outside A&E or lying on trolleys for hours, a terrible experience when you are in need of urgent treatment, especially for the elderly. It also means more cancellations for routine admissions. The NNUH is in "financial special measures" and the accountants have arrived from London to find ways to make £17.6 million savings by next April, an impossibility without very serious damage to the hospital. The bed closures, which are described as temporary, are meant to save money by avoiding the use of agency nursing staff until this year's nursing graduates are available to take up posts. This petition is aimed at making sure the management know their actions are being watched and to make it less likely that they will be able to quietly make the cuts permanent. We hope it will make the the public more aware of what is going on and to object to the slashing and trashing of our NHS.

Many agency workers, especially in the haulage industry, are being used by companies as full time staff, but kept on the books as Agency employees, rather than taken on directly. This deprives the Agency worker of the same terms, conditions, and employment rights enjoyed by the directly employed colleagues they work along side. Saving employers enormous sums, and responsibilities. I would wish the offer of direct employment, be made mandatory, after an Agency worker remains with a company for more than three months. Exceeding this period would prove that there is a vacancy, and an employer is just trying to reduce costs, and responsibilities at the Agency workers expense.

A stamp supporting childhood cancer awareness would be really important. We need to educate the world that children get cancer as well. With education comes awareness, earlier diagnosis, research, funding, and a kinder cure. Childhood cancer is different to adult cancers, yet it is treated with scaled down adult versions, which often have long term side effects lasting a life time. Children can't speak for themselves, so we have to.

It has come to our attention that NHS England is threatening to close this surgery within months due to one of the partners dissolving the contract for GP services here against the wishes of his fellow partners, staff and most importantly the 6000 patients signed up here. This move will unnecessarily make many patients including vulnerable and elderly members of our community deeply anxious and could cause negative health, social and psychological effects. It is completely unfair that the actions of one GP should have a severely detrimental effect on the very existence of this surgery and its wider community – many of which have been members of this practice for over 20 years. The Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS England should seek to consult with the practice’s patients in order to see if an amicable solution can be found before making a decision of this magnitude. Earl’s Court Medical Centre (previously Om Sai Clinic) has been a vital part of our community for nearly 50 years and we cannot afford to lose this hugely important provision of local healthcare. This is a dispute between the doctors but the practice’s patients are very much dependent on this Centre and are happy with the high quality of service that they receive. The location is excellent being situated next to Earls Court Underground Station, easy parking, close to bus links, the A4 and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. A decision like this should not be imposed on us when a huge majority of people associated with the practice including staff and patients strongly oppose any possible closure. There are no similar facilities near here and no comparable service. Patients feel safe, comfortable and reassured here even at times of great stress and worry for them. The closure of this surgery would result in the displacement of thousands of patients that would need to be relocated elsewhere, putting severe strain on neighbouring GP surgeries. This is not in the interests of NHS service provision in this part of London which is already facing huge pressures in dealing with demand. The NHS funded the purchase of the freehold of the building on Earl’s Court Road and they funded the formation of the practice, which is purpose built for healthcare services and represents millions of pounds worth of public investment over many years. The NHS pays a £200k/annum interest only mortgage for the premises. They pay for the running of this successful practice. To close it down would be a real travesty. This practice even has potential for growth. With additional doctors, the facility could cope with an extra 4,000 patients bringing the total to a possible 10,000. What needs to happen now? • Our aim is to do what is required in order to keep this surgery open • The people this affects are primarily the patients and staff. NHS England should consult the other GPs, staff and patients before arriving at a decision. • Do not proceed with any change until sufficient time should be given to a process of mediation between NHS England and the GPs concerned in order to explore all available options to keep this practice open instead of rushing through an ill conceived decision. What are the solutions? • NHS England to buy the partner out and find a replacement GP to replace him in order to sustain the practice contract • NHS England to buy the freehold of the property thereby safeguarding the longevity of the surgery • NHS England to halt any change to the existence of the surgery on the condition of seeking to find an alternative partner to replace the one that wishes to exit. • Give control to the remaining 2 GPs who are willing to buy the exiting partner out under a newly issued contract. We would be most grateful if you could do all that you can to save this practice from closure. It is against the will of the community at large and all seems to come from the actions of one doctor. This can so easily be avoided if some compassion, discretion and common sense could be applied at a senior level where such decisions can be taken. If necessarily, we would be grateful if you could raise this with the Secretary of State for Health as we feel these needs the attention at the highest levels in order to protect such a vital community asset concerning thousands of people.

Cliffden in Teignmouth, Devon, the Lauriston in Weston-super-Mare and Windermere Manor in the Lake District. These hotels are constantly used by blind people and their families and they are essential for these families to have relaxing holidays as they can meet similar people with these disabilities and who understand there requirements and needs.

This is pollution of a most destructive kind. Once it goes down the drain and ends up in the ocean it causes untold damage to organisms ranging from plankton to birds and sea mammals. Waitrose recently announced that they are going to stop stocking ANY products with microbeads in them. All other supermarkets should follow their great example and, not only stop using them in their own products, but stop stocking them all together.

It's important because the police are too gung-ho when they are chasing thieves in cars and too many innocent people have lost their lives. More will lose their lives if this isn't stopped. A car is not worth the price of lives that can be lost.
