• Keep our Public Services Public - Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Trust
    UNISON and Unite the Union members are taking strike action to protect their jobs and to stay in the NHS Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust are forcing our members out of the NHS into a wholly owned subsidiary. They will no longer be employed by the NHS. Our members have given decades of hard work and committed service to the NHS and now they are being kicked out of the NHS Family. One worker stated “I’ve worked for the NHS for years, I never thought I’d be kicked in the teeth like this. Kicked out of the NHS and now I have to worry for my family and potential future attacks on my pay, terms and conditions”. Another asks “what will be next? Once they’ve kicked us out of the NHS who will be next in line?”. Many workers say they can’t afford to strike but feel there is no alternative "if we don’t fight now there’ll be no NHS left!”

  • Getting access to paediatricians for autistic children
    After waiting for a paediatrician through my doctors referral service after 4 months, my son was refused by Barts health Specialist childrens service. The problem is my sons panic attacks and lack of sleep, my wife and I are very tired and 4 months ago we visited our Doctor to get help. We were told she could not help and that we needed to see a paediatrician as they are the only ones who can help us (in case we needed medication) but as they have refused to see our son I need to see if other parents are having the same issues as me and my wife namely that my son cannot get any help with his medical condition.

  • Hull Paragon Station - keep the station accessible for disabled people! keep the gate open!
    For many disabled people this is the ONLY accessible route into the station. First Transpennine are suggesting that disabled people should call a mobile number and wait for a member of staff to open the gate. This will result in: • People being left, possibly on their own and feeling vulnerable, whilst they are waiting to be permitted entry. • Longer journey times –people would need to get the station earlier. • Unfair treatment – disabled people need to do something different to non-disabled people to gain access to the station. This will also impact on non-disabled people too!!! • Inconvenience, especially for occasional users, for example people going on holiday, with luggage and children, who are arriving by taxi, will have to wait for the gate to be opened or walk around the station. • Waiting time at the drop off point is 20 minutes – negotiating the closed gate will inevitably take longer than this now when picking someone up, increasing the risk of a financial penalty. The closure is being trialled to protect station staff, but disabled people shouldn't suffer because of this. Alternate solutions should be found that don't result in disabled people being left without access.

  • Save St Albans Road recreation ground from being built on.
    Cambridge City Council's Open Space and Recreation Strategy 2011 and Local Plan 2018 designate St Albans Road recreation ground as 'protected' from building. The Open Space and Recreation Strategy 2011 states Arbury ward 'has the lowest levels of Protected Open Space in the City.' Knowing this requires that we preserve it as free from building for generations to come, in perpetuity. It is a vital natural open space and green lung serving the community who come from at least 20 minutes walk away in all directions to exercise, walk their dogs, play with their children and link with the community. It provides a valuable access to nature, wildlife and biodiversity for all generations. Green spaces are vital for our physical and mental well being. The rapid increase of building in the area which has taken place on many other former open spaces make it vital that we keep the recreation ground building free before it is lost forever. A green space is not an empty space. We also request a full council meeting on this matter.

  • Give us back Brynhyfryd Library's previous opening hours!
    Since April 2019 Swansea Council has reduced Brynhyfryd Library's opening time by 10 hours per week. These changes have had an effect on children, families and senior citizens who use the library services. Libraries are a vital public good. People of all ages can enjoy borrowing and reading books, DVDs and CDs, using the internet, reading newspapers and speaking and spending time with others. Libraries are part of the public domain and we should be encouraging people to use them more often, not cutting opening hours.

  • Do the deed, clear the weed
    Weed has grown in the Round Pond of Hyde park to a level that is both unsightly and makes model yachting in the pond impossible. Model yachting provides a much needed outlet for keen sailors to practice their sport in central London. This accessible sport allows the less able bodied and wealthy of all ages, genders and ethnicities to find diversion and pleasure on the water. The loss of the pond as a sailing venue is extremely disappointing to participants and the multitude of spectators alike. Little effort is required to restore joy to so many lives.

  • Get hidden sugars out of our food!
    Many foods in super markets contain hidden sugars when explicitly saying they are unsweetened. For example some Supermarket unsweetened Almond Milk contains Maltodextrin which has a higher Glycemic Index than Golden Syrup. However it doesn't end there. Nearly every processed deli-meat has Dextrose in it. And doesn't end there either. Nearly every food item in supermarkets these days contains hidden sugars. The result is more people becoming obese even when trying to eat a healthy diet. The nation is suffering from a fatty liver epidemic that is creating type 2 diabetics and the thing is this can be avoided if people are educated via correct labelling to make the right choices. Some people are resisting. There are those who eat a Ketogenic, Carnivore or Vegan diet who stay clear from any additives but unknowingly also fall victim time to time by misleading advertising. Health professionals such as Dr David Unwin are shouting through the roof tops about the diabetics epidemic but the real scream comes from liver. Urgent action needs to be taken and it will only happen when enough people call the supermarkets out on polluting the nations health.

Beechwood park is a local park in Newport that has a lot of space for trees to be planted. We need to take this moment to plant more trees against this major threat! This park can be one of many to plant trees and ensure that it's doing its best to fight climate change.
