In a modern, civilised society, there is no place for this grotesque and cruel pastime. Foxing hunting has been banned in England and Wales since 2004. But Jeremy Hunt one of the candidates to become the new Prime Minister has said he'd offer MPs a free vote on lifting the ban on fox hunting if he thought there was a chance of it winning. This is a barbaric and outdated activity that should stay where it belongs - in the past. We have a choice in this life, we can be kind, or we can be cruel. I think the choice is easy...

After watching the BBC programme on war on plastic and working in a school myself, I see plastic water bottles thrown around the school premises. We need to stop the demand for these bottles to be made in the first place, where better to start than in education.

I am starting this petition in regards to the decision made to refuse UK residency to a very dear friend of mine. Having experienced racial attacks and prejudice in his native USA, Steffan Chadwick Harris moved to Scotland and has been a member of our community for years, having received a spousal visa through his wife. However, as I’m sure you appreciate, marriages do not always last forever, and Steffan and his wife are currently in the process of divorcing. I lived in the same building as Steffan for many years. Since separating from his wife, Steffan has moved out of Edinburgh and has managed to secure a job working in Kirkcaldy. He has become a much more confident and happy person and is contributing positively to society. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive country who welcome people from all walks of life and I believe that after 8 years in Scotland, Steffan belongs here. I would be very grateful if somehow we could convince the Home Office to reconsider the decision to deny him his future in our country.

Because of the alarming damage UK public waste is having on the environment.

Over the last 4.5years my eldest son has received some fantastic books from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This has not only enhanced his love of books and stories but has encouraged him to begin to learn to read before starting school. As a parent, I think it is a great shame that such a wonderful scheme that has enabled many children to access literature, is set to close in September. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of United Kingdom is a free book gifting organisation devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. Each month, enrolled children receive a high quality, age appropriate book in the post, free of charge. Children receive books from birth to age five. This means my other children will never know the joy of these free monthly books, or get to share the joy of reading future wonderful stories with parents and grandparents alike. This will mean families across Doncaster will not have future access to books that land on their door step every month.

There are two plans for Camley St. The Camden Council plan is business as normal, displacing existing companies and moving in more digital business and expensive houses. The Community plan is to retain the existing business integrating them with new companies to create a unique urban development focused on sustainable food co-located with up to 1,000 genuinely affordable homes

Without this facility children with life limiting conditions and their families will suffer and there will be an impact on NHS services in the local area that are already overstretched and cannot provide the type of care that Forget Me Not specialises in. The work they do is so important, let’s hope none of us ever need their support but it would be reassuring that should we be in that difficult position, Forget Me Not would still exist to provide help and care.

The boundary ends at Howards Grove – see a full list of road names listed below. There are already weekday parking concerns, and overrun from Shirley workers and shoppers. Plus with the pending Lidl being built it will only get worse. First port of call will be Howards Grove (I work at UHSFT and know dozen’s that park in the surrounding roads near the church and Upper Shirley). It doesn’t help Church St being one way and Howards Grove being two ways as it’s the rat-run to miss out Shirley High St, or get to Sainsbury’s. Details Southampton General Hospital employs over 10,550 staff, many of whom travel to the site from across a wide area. Although the General Hospital provides parking and park & ride facilities, together with promoting travel by bus or cycle, some staff continues to commute by car and park in residential areas beyond the existing Residents Parking Zone 7. Residents raised the issues caused by staff and periodic visitor parking in their roads with Ward Councillors and in response a consultation event was held at the General Hospital in November 2017 attended by around 300 people. In the response to community concerns, a survey was then undertaken in 2018 of residents in localities agreed with Ward Councillors, to see whether they would support permit parking schemes where they live. Where the survey responses indicated community support, permit parking schemes are now being proposed. The formal 21-day public consultation will commence on 14 June 2019. The schemes would introduce parking restrictions in the following localities: • West of Warren Crescent (Zone 7 extension) locality: (Bindon Close, Bindon Road, Coxford Close, Ross Gardens, Warren Close, and Warren Crescent (36-66). • Dunkirk Road/Coxford Road locality: (Arnheim Close, Arnheim Road, Dunkirk Close, Dunkirk Road, Falaise Close, Salerno Road and Taranto Road). • Hollybrook locality: (Hunton Close, Linford Crescent, Malvern Road, Malwood Avenue, Seagarth Close, Seagarth Lane (from 21 Seagarth Lane northwards), Seymour Close and Seymour Road. • St James Park & Wilton Road locality: (Queens Road, Wilton Road (2-92 & 1-107), St. James Close, Bellemoor Road, Church Street (133-161 & 132-142), Morland Road, Shayer Road, St. James’s Road (as far south as Salem Street) and Twyford Avenue. • Maybush, Coxford & Aldermoor locality: (Alder Road (1-37, 2-26), Aldermoor Avenue, Aldermoor Road, Brightside Road, Conifer Road, Coxford Drove, Hardwicke Close, Holly Oak Court, Holly Oak Road, Larch Road, Linden Road, Myrtle Road, Olive Road, Outer Circle, Palm Road, Peach Road, Rowan Close, Thorndike Close and Thorndike Road). (Please note that if a scheme proceeds in this locality (including Olive Road), it is also proposed to change the zone for the permit parking restrictions outside 26-38 and 27-48 Olive Road to the new zone). Housing car parks within these localities are also included in the proposed permit parking schemes. All the workers that parked on roads near St James, Church St or Upper Shirley will encroach on Howards Grove. This will cause even further congestion.

An Appeal should be heard at the original penalty fee and not a penny more. I could also add that the Appeals process ( in my experience ) is far from fair! Citizens need to feel that even petty laws are fair and evenhanded and not weapons for jumped up officials.

Fracking has been proved to pose many health risks to people who live close to sites as well as numerous threats to the surrounding environment. The Government declared climate emergency back in May 2019 - it's time to start taking action and divesting from fossil fuels- instead of promoting the use of this filthy, dangerous and unnecessary process.

Plastic waste that escapes into the open environment is threatening all life on our planet. Here is an easy way to enable future UK plastics to be safe.

The farm is an inner city oasis where children learn about animal welfare, healthy food production and care in the community. Children with disabilities can ride horses under fantastic supervision; donkey rides are also available; the rare breed pigs are a delight; the geese and chickens roam free; the sheep are shorn yearly teaching children where wool comes from and Al the rescue tortoise is a popular attraction!
