• ASCEND CLIMBING GYM - Bring Climbing To Louth
    We started this project because the sport of climbing is completely unrepresented in our area. We want to give people the chance to experience the fun and excitement involved in climbing and to expand their resources to achieve a healthy lifestyle. The people in our community have already showed a huge amount of interest in this project and with climbing's debut in the 2020 Olympics there's no better time to make this project a reality.

  • UK Gov should protect its citizens from large company shyster practices
    Because UK citizens are being duped by some unscrupulous big companies that offer discounts for subsequent purchases without disclosing to their customers the consequences of accepting the discount. For example Hermes will offer a discount to welcome you as a new customer but they do not say that if you apply for the discount you will have to give your bank details to a third party who will take £15 from your account each month and make you a member of a club which claims to give you discounts or money back for other card purchasers. Many people claim to have no knowledge of signing up to a club and do not realise that every month money has been taken out of their account and when they do it is not always easy to cancel. Make our elected MPs stamp out these practices and ensure that companies make it clear to their customers the consequences of customers accepting any offer. There are many stories on the internet about people losing money which you only search for when you have fallen for the same trick.

  • Prevent motorbikes on footpaths in parks
    It is illegal to ride motorbikes along public footpaths, but I have seen this done repeatedly. Many toddlers and young children use the New River Walk and Astey's Playground to play, nap, and feed ducks. They could be injured. As a local parent, I have become afraid to let my child out of the pushchair.

  • Reduce “rat running” along Kidbrooke Gardens
    Over the last 10 years there has been a significant increase in traffic along Kidbrooke Gardens/South Row. Up to 8000 vehicles a day are using this minor residential road, resulting in increased air and noise pollution for local residents. The high traffic volumes make it dangerous for pedestrians and other road users. As the only East/West routes south of the A2/north of the A20, it is vital that the council provides a safe, healthy street to encourage families to choose “active” travel options when taking their kids to one of the 10+ schools within 1mile radius.

  • More help for the vulnerable the elderly and young
    I have been trying to look after my son who is now 29 he has autism and mental health issues. I have tried for the last five years to access him some help, since he was discharged from hospital. I have complained to social service's, local MP, police and mental health services. It seems they are not and don't want to work together to help people like my son. There are policy's in place saying that the above services are there to help by working together but as I've experienced there is a small majority of the service's that do try. I've even experienced a social worker who tried to help actually stand in his own council office and say that "the people in this office are trying to ignore the issues so they don't have to deal with them" whilst on the phone to me. The police turn up every time my son has an episode and say it's down to social services. Social services have now refused to speak to me due to my son being over 18. The MP has tried for the last two years to try and help, after a dozen letter's and numerous requests to have a meeting, we still haven't met. There are a lot of people whom have no family or friends to support them and are just left with no help and this is where the crisis grows and people either end up on the streets or arrested for behaviour which is more an illness. Our government has a duty of care through the services they provide.

  • Start a Space Cadet Force
    This will help young people to develop important life skills and pride in themselves, but through a non-military pathway. It will encourage them to look to the future and strive for excellence in a broad range of learning challenges. It will create new relationships as "esprit de corps" develops, and give participants confidence through a "start in life" that so many need in our uncertain world.

  • Dwp assessment
    People who are disabled are being pushed into hardship. Stopping benefits and carers. However if you are self harming ie drug taking they get every benefit going.

  • Dennistoun parking permits
    It is important for everyone in the Glasgow city council to understand, that you are about to impose an extra financial burden onto some of the most poorly paid people in the United kingdom. I live in dennistoun and I just manage to pay my way, and to ask for £85 per year to park outside my home is just another insult. I pay my council tax and I get less every year for my hard earned. This stealth tax may work in the West end where people can afford this. Make the permits affordable for the good residents.

  • Keep the HGV Cap on Chalkpit Lane
    Very disappointed, but not surprised, to see that Southern Gravel have appealed the decision by Surrey County Council to cap the number of HGV movements on Chalk Pit Lane and protect residents in the area. I worked with local Councillors and residents over several years to get SCC to even introduce this cap and we will absolutely continue to fight this. For several years residents have been fighting to ensure Southern Gravel behaves like a good neighbour, but time and again the management behaves without any regard for the local area. I am pro-business, but I am also pro-responsible business. Thanks to the work of residents, an actual cap has been placed on the HGV movements – whilst this is still high, it was accepted as a compromise. The way to succeed is for all of us to work together to lodge our objections and as your MP, I will work to bring everyone together and fight this all the way. I urge all residents and those who would be impacted by this to sign my petition and raise their own objections by emailing [email protected] quoting the reference ‘APP/ROMP/19/01’ by the 17th July. Please do send me a copy of your submission to [email protected]

  • Child Poverty- lets put an end to holiday hunger
    Hungry children feel anxious and they don't know why. During the school holidays, children who are entitled to free school meals are going hungry and experiencing social isolation because their parents can't afford to buy food or take them out.

  • Save the 15 bus.
    The bus no longer terminates at Fleming Place – where a purpose built complex of flats for older people is no longer served by a bus service. The bus no longer operates on a Saturday – a service that Students depend on to commute to the Easter Bush university campus. There is no longer a service that travels over regent road – inconveniencing commuters and in some cases increasing the commute by 30mins – I can speak for this one myself. This change has affected retirees, students and commuters alike in one of the most deprived areas in Scotland. Those savvy enough to have twitter were given 12 days notice, less if you have the TfE app and no notice if you are not technologically minded. As a direct result of this petition Lothian Buses have been questioned in the Governance, Risk and Best Value Committee by the council on how Lothian buses makes these decisions and whether they take into account the community they supposedly serve. We also have raised the topic with the Transport and Environment Committee on Thursday 12th September. it is key that social impact assessments are taken into account when making these types of decisions to avoid depriving areas of the support they rely on from their public transport services. Responses so far have been poor and unrevealing from Lothian Buses.
