• Full Basic State Pension for NI relief Pension savers
    By using the NI relief element to reduce the new State Pension from those that had the foresight to save is morally wrong & could be legally wrong when workers were given this there was not an option saying this will reduce your basic pension, employees who have been paying in to schemes via wages & had this relief have had a pension forecast every year & added the Basic State Pension in to their calculations, now we are told that we will lose some as its part of the Pension we have saved for ( encouraged by the Government) ie actual case history: a woman of 60 who is on an average wage has been on the D code NI relief for 18 years has been informed she will lose £36.50 per week that's £1898 even though she has a 43 year NI payment history. She has been informed that her private Pension will be £10,000 pa plus BSP for the last few years but now will be nearly £2000 down on this figure because of the change as no option to stop the relief or notice of this change has been given before now this is totally unfair. Workers in this position on between £15000 - £30000 will be the most effected by this. I believe the reasoning behind this is that private pension savers have their pension to top up their income, but for those who do not have big Pensions like MP's of 40k - 100k this amount matters a lot to their long term retirement plans. As receivers of a private pension they will not be able to claim any top up benefits & could well be worse off than someone who has never saved for a pension or worked at all. This is not fair or right

  • Stop the badger cull in: Somerset
    Badgers are lush! Surely we should protect them not kill them. We humans have jeopardised their natural habitat and wild lives quite enough already! There has been no scientific evidence to show that killing badgers is an effective way to reduce TB in cattle. Culling badgers is a cruel, expensive and ineffective policy which should be stopped. Let's get a campaign going in our area - perhaps we could team up with Secret World Wildlife Rescue in Highbridge? Somerset Wildlife? RSPCA? Let me know if you wanna b badgered with this campaign..... Cheers,Jo

  • Stop the badger cull in: Cornwall
    There has been no scientific evidence to show that killing badgers is an effective way to reduce TB in cattle. Culling badgers is a, cruel, expensive and ineffective policy which needs to be stopped. There are studies that are working with vaccines to inoculate Badgers against TB and which should be given time. When we are hoping that developing countries will prioritise biodiversity over economic growth it is hypocritical to be killing our own wildlife.

  • Expand Balcarras School to Meet Local Demand
    We the undersigned consider the ‘Leckhampton Corridor’ senior school place issue to be a serious and growing problem for the families and community affected. We note that many Leckhampton children are losing out on places at their two nearest senior schools Balcarras and Bournside. This disadvantages children who have to take extremely long journeys to and from schools further away. We further note that Balcarras have objected to Bournside’s proposals to revise their catchment to tackle this problem.

  • Bring the Brighton Wheel to Ramsgate
    Margate has The Turner Centre and Dreamland to attract visitors. We have our beautiful Royal Harbour, Tunnels and wonderful cafe culture but we need more reasons for families to visit. Thanet as a whole would benefit from the added tourism as we would be able to offer a better package, more reasons to visit. The wheel would not incur huge capital investment, ongoing leasing fees would be paid for out of revenue, therefore no risk to the council.
