Football is the national game. In its many formats it can help with fitness, general mental and physical wellbeing as well as ensuring kids (and adults) maintain an active social circle in a world increasingly dominated by insular activities such as gaming and on demand TV and film. FA football centres featuring quality 3g pitches and changing facilities are still too expensive and few and far between for many to utilise on a regular basis. Grass roots football suffers with constant postponements due to weather conditions throughout the winter. Access to more all weather 3g facilities can help alleviate this issue too The FA recognise the above issues and have pursued the sale of the national stadium (Wembley) with the aim of addressing these issues. This 1% donation could alleviate the need to pursue a sale of Wembley.

There is now indisputable proof that plastic has and is continuing to damage the environment. Aldi customers want to feel good when they shop for food, and know they are not adding to this global catastrophe. Only 9% of plastic has EVER been recycled. In the last ten years more plastic has been produced than in the last 50 years!

Far too many people can hide behind Facebook pages and are allowed to behave however they see fit, facing no consequences for harassing innocent people. By Facebook enhancing the page transparency feature to include a list of admins this would hopefully make it more difficult to hide behind a page to troll individuals or organisations.

This is easily the best pub in Heysham but, when the weather is good, there is no decent garden area, for locals to enjoy the sunshine. Two tables in the large car park don't count! It's a really sunny spot, come on Greene King..

Staff within West Lothian Leisure play a vital role in our local communities. They help people of various ages and circumstances and provide them with routes to mental and physical wellbeing. Trust staff help people engage and be involved, whether that is having a health check, going for a swim, taking a walk, joining a gym, providing outdoor leisure services or culture and arts. It is crucial to recognise the role that public leisure and culture plays in improving the health and wellbeing of people in their local communities, delivering a wide range of vital community services. What do these proposals mean for West Lothian Leisure (WLL)? The Board of West Lothian Leisure (WLL) has approved a three year plan which has been supported by West Lothian Council (WLC). This plan identifies a number of savings across the organisation. Essentially the services will be severely reduced and people will lose their jobs! - Staffing reduction of 59.48(FTE - Full Time Equivalents) across the business. - Removal of residential element at Low Port Centre. - Changes to programming and delivery at Low Port Centre. - Changes to programming and opening hours in the Community Schools. - Changes to administration roles at Community Schools - Changes to opening hours at Howden Park Centre. - Changes to catering arrangements at Howden Park Centre. - Changes to opening hours across Leisure Centres. - Changes to programming in Leisure Centres.

baking is not seasonal and the product is fantastic . I am member of a very popular cake making community page and we are all disappointed that it is not stocked .

It is a huge learning curve for all that attend, including myself. It is important that professionals know the signs and reasons, they can spot them without physical violence happening.

For years, the Jeremy Kyle Show has turned the real-life suffering of people into entertainment. Now, after the death of a guest, ITV have suspended the show - and calls are growing for it to be cancelled permanently. The Jeremy Kyle Show is famous for humiliating people on national television with lie detector and DNA tests. Guests are goaded into arguing about personal conflicts and relationship problems in front of a studio audience. A judge described the show as a “human form of bear baiting". Sign the petition and tell ITV to end the Jeremy Kyle Show for good.

The University of Glasgow is spending £1 billion redeveloping the site of the former Western Infirmary and as part of this they have been allowed to redevelop University Avenue. However, current plans for the redesign of this key arterial street do not include protected space for cycling. It would be a tragedy for the future of a safe linked up network of direct cycling routes in our city if University Avenue does not make space for protected cycling - for the staff and students who travel to the University, for the commuters who use the direct route to pass through, for parents taking their children to school or to the park, and for everyone who would like to chose to cycle but won’t because they don't feel safe sharing road space with heavier and faster moving vehicles. Both Glasgow City Council and the University of Glasgow have declared that there is a climate emergency, but neither appear prepared to turn those words into concrete actions by taking seriously the need for a shift in how we travel. GoBike have been asking both Glasgow City Council and the University of Glasgow over the last six months to alter plans to include segregated cycle lanes. They have been met with stubborn resistance from both, with repeated assertions that painted lines on the road will make things “safer for cycling”, and even stating that paint is segregation. There is now a Traffic Regulation Order being consulted on and we need to tell them that the current proposals are simply not good enough for the following reasons: - Painted cycle lanes on University Avenue are dangerous as they legitimise dangerous close passes. - The design of the proposed painted cycle lanes, which end abruptly, is dangerous. - Painted cycle lanes on University Avenue do not prevent waiting, loading or parking. - The plans are in contravention of the Sustainable Transport Hierarchy. - The plans fail to recognise Climate Change Emergency status. - The plans fail to recognise the Colleges Cycling Route status of University Avenue. - The plans fail to recognise recommendations made within the Connectivity Commission Report. We need University Avenue to have segregated cycle lanes along its full length to make it safe for people of all ages and abilities to cycle on, and to encourage the shift in transport we need to see, if we are to act on the Climate Emergency. Please add your name to help us show public support for a safer University Avenue.

We are all becoming more aware of the devastating impact of single use plastic. The increasing (or any) use of this for posting Amazon products has a massive impact given how many parcels they send on a daily basis. This seems to be a huge step backwards at a time when we need to focus on finding sustainable ways to move forward.

The sleeper units will provide shelter, warmth & safety and allow frontline services to provide vital support plus help accommodate people into permanent homes and instead of letting people sleep rough due to lack of safe temporary accommodation

For peace of mind & closure
