The use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

Hereford Probation service has been a great help to myself in learning what and who I want to be after a long series of poor choices. If they relocated the service lots of patrons would not be able to attend due to the rural area we live in. Other factors would be many of these people are on benefits or have low incomes and it would eat a large portion of their living allowance causing many people to suffer unnecessary hardship. The staff would no longer be able to provide home visits and many people who suffer with disabilities mental and physical would be put through unnecessary stress. The drop in service and counseling that many people rely on would no longer be available possibly causing an increase in crime as many people find comfort in being able to discuss their issues with a familiar team as in some cases these are the only people they've got to reach out to.

We are concerned that fracking could Contaminate our water supply Pollute the air with hazardous chemicals Cause earthquakes Reduce the value of our homes Increase our insurance premiums Make our roads less safe by increasing heavy traffic Leak methane which is a potent greenhouse gas 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide Cause illness in the local population Increase noise and light pollution from drilling operations and traffic movement Cause industrialisation of countryside and adversley affect wildlife corridors Adversely effect local tourism and agriculture Fracking is bad for our environment, bad for our communities and we call upon Angela Smith MP to support our campaign for a ban on fracking in our area.

Democracy is of the upmost importance. We trust councillors that we elect to serve our interests. In this instance nearly 4,000 letters of objection to the company’s plans were received at the County Council, set against only 32 letters in favour. Councillors are required to adhere to the standard of good conduct as set out in the Local Government Act 1989 which requires that they effectively represent the interests of their Ward and of individual constituents. In addition councillors must maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethics, serve the public interest and take decisions having regard to the interests of the whole local community. We feel that our interests have been disregarded in favour of fiscal and political reasons.

High speed broad band is not a luxury. People in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone. The government has changed the way it interacts with citizens. The government assumes that the public can access the internet and down load all the information and documents required. But without high speed broad band the download can fail. The government expects the public to use the internet but has not ensured that there is an adequate infrastructure available to everyone. Even where fiber optic cables are available the final section to the property is often elderly cooper cable which can severely limit data transfer speeds. The longer the length of cooper cable the greater the drop off speed. When I was having trouble with my broad band I was able to use the computers at the library, for an hour a day (Not Sundays) provided there was a computer free. A little inconvenient but at least I have a library that I can get to easily. This is not something that is available to everybody in the constituency. The prosperity of the region can only be enhanced when high speed broad band is available throughout the region.

Over the last 30-odd years, 101 has helped so many children, in an area where playgroups (as opposed to private nurseries) are rare. The fees are affordable and the atmosphere calm and caring. 101 helps children learn valuable social skills, making for a smooth transition to school. If 101 cannot continue, there are very few alternatives in the Crouch End area for parents who want a playgroup and not full-time child care.

This important building is rotting, its building use restrictions are being flouted, and many local people are keen to see a cinema open in Deal once more. The building was purposefully sold at a low price with the proviso it would be made into a cinema - not flats or a restaurant as per the current plans (not yet officially submitted).

The MoD Guard Service is responsible for the protection of military establishments and its personnel. We need to ensure our military bases are safe and secure, not given to the lowest bidder. Defence Business Services which delivers corporate HR, payrole, finance and vetting services across the MoD and is responsible for processes most of the vetting applications not just for the MoD. After deciding not to extend the current Defence Business Services (DBS) management contract with Serco and Accenture, because extending it did not offer value for money, The MoD now wants to bring in a contractor making them responsible for the running of DBS taking it out of the Civil Service and government control. Don't let anymore of your taxes be wasted! I worked in Vetting services for 15 years and saw first hand the impact private companies have, they only care about profit not service. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. Staff are not sat drinking tea or have gold plated pensions but trying to provide service and guarding our military bases help them to continue to do this. Please say No!, add your name. Thank you Jan

At the present time all personal independence payment assessments are done with a representative from Atos and Capita and the claimant. The claimant can take someone to be an advocate for them but many people report that the assessor has lied on the form that they send to the DWP. E.g the claimant made adequate eye contact or did not appear anxious, when it was clearly evident that that was not the case. People can record the assessments but only if they have a device that can record two tapes at the same time so both parties can have a recording. These devices are difficult to get hold of and the claimant is not allowed to use any smartphones, Video recorders, go pro camera or a digital recorder. This is unfair. There should be an accurate video recording of each assessment.
