This has heavily impacted on the local community. Many people, especially the elderly in this rural area, rely on public transport for getting around Perthshire and to the major Scottish cities. As a popular tourist destination it also makes it much harder for visitors to reach us by bus. Please sign this petition to show that people value our public transport and how important it is in rural areas.

The organization helps thousands of vulnerable, including people with mental health issues and disadvantaged Derby and Derbyshire residents a year with debt advice, free legal assistance and advocacy. It is vital these groups get help and support.

Because justice needs to be done both these men are totally innocent and have been wrongly convicted of murder.

£3.30 per hour is not a wage that can be lived on, in fact a person earning this amount of money cannot afford to rent in most places and would even struggle to afford transport to get to where they are doing their apprenticeship. A person working the same 40 hours, as most apprenticeships stipulate, could earn up to four times as much as those who are in apprenticeships, for the same amount of work. It is preposterous that a person on an apprenticeship working 40 hours a week should earn only £120.00 on average.

At present there is no cohesive or structured information. The information we do get is all from persons, politicians or companies with vested interests or emotional feelings of one kind or another. At present coverage is hotch potch and it's pot luck to whether you get information or not. Many times it is only one point of view. If we all knew that we would get sensible information at a certain time on a certain channel , I feel that many of us would benefit enormously. This would enable us all to vote more intelligently. It might even be better to be on many channels.

13 climate protesters are facing prison to silence protest against new runways which would wreck Government policy to protect us from catastrophic climate change. The Paris agreement underlines the need to cut emissions now. Aviation is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions and the only way to reduce emissions from aviation to a safe level is to reduce the number of flights. Despite David Cameron’s ‘no ifs, no buts’ election and manifesto promise to not build a new runway following massive public outrage at the proposals, the Government is now breaking its promise. There is more than enough aviation capacity for people’s annual holidays and the declining number of business flights. Airport growth is driven by a minority of frequent fliers who take the majority of UK flights to second homes and tax havens. Meanwhile, emissions from aviation are destroying people’s lives. People in the Heathrow area, who already have to breathe illegal levels of air pollution and suffer intolerable noise, would now see their homes destroyed. People across the UK have been flooded at Christmas, and every year hundreds of thousands more people die due to climate change - mostly in poor countries in the Global South, the people least responsible for emissions. The Government is expected to make its decision on whether to expand Heathrow or Gatwick – or neither, if we are successful – this year. It’s one or the other: build new runways or protect us from climate chaos. The people in the Global South who are dying due to climate change already have no voice in the debate. We can show them that jailing peaceful protesters will not silence those of us who do.

We want you to look in the countries with the best achievement in education of all children such as Finland not countries with poor achievements such as the USA. Even better look in the UK where people understand the local culture. Why are you not looking at systems which have turned themselves around such as Finland and Korea? Do not make the mistake of thinking people in the UK want to mimic the culture of the USA. We do not want a rubbish education system for our children funded from taxes that are too low for purpose; a culture where a disproportionate number of young black people die violently and where lenient gun laws lead to indiscriminate massacres in school.

Free school meals, for the worst off children, support the very academic achievements that the government say they seek for everyone. Suspending the subsidy of their own meals would demonstrate solidarity with their own aims.

1. It undermines families: Introducing a state employed Named Person for every child in Scotland – by definition – undermines the role of parents and carers, the vast majority of whom do an excellent job raising their own children and have no need or desire for third party involvement of this sort. 2. It wastes resources and jeopardises child safety: It is almost inevitable that by stretching resources to police the wellbeing of all children, attention will be diverted away from genuine cases of child neglect or abuse. 3. There is a serious risk of the powers being mis-used: By granting the Named Person sweeping legal responsibility to monitor the wellbeing of all children, there is a very real danger of families being needlessly embroiled in ‘the system’ because a Named Person takes issue with a particular parent. 4. It may be in breach of European Convention rights to privacy and family life: Leading QC Aidan O’Neill says the policy: “may not be lawful on the basis that the blanket nature of this provision constitutes a disproportionate and unjustified interference with the right to respect for individual families’ private and family life and home.” 5. It may breach EU law on data confidentiality: The Named Person legislation lowers the threshold to make it easier for officials to pass around confidential data like children’s medical reports. This may breach EU law on data sharing. 6. A broad coalition of organisations, individuals and newspapers have raised very serious concerns about the Named Person including: The Scottish Parent Teacher Council, The Christian Institute, CARE for Scotland, The Tymes Trust (for young ME sufferers), Schoolhouse (representing families who home-school), The Faculty of Advocates, The Law Society of Scotland, The Scotsman, The Press & Journal, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express.

Currently our health service is in crisis and are failing to deliver a service that we, the tax payer are paying for. The mill stone of PFI is bringing the national health service closer and closer to the door marked private health service and this Government is pushing it closer and to closer to this door unless we stand up and be counted. Make no mistake the smoke and mirror of free at the point of delivery is just that smoke and mirrors and by tomorrow we will no longer have a national health service. Waiting times are through the roof, Junior doctor being victimised and bullied into accepting a new contract not fit for purpose by Jeremy Hunt. Ambulance services on their knees and patients are suffering and dying because of staff shortage and stretched resources to pay off the PFI bill and not because Junior Doctors do not work, which they do, on weekends. The PFI are forcing Health services to make cuts across the board and this is to reduce the wage bill so that share holders are paid there dividends at the end of the month. So if we want to save our health service then we need to nationalise the PFI dept and to this end we need to be patitioning our local MP's to suppor the nationalising of the PFI's

It is a sacrilege and a disgrace to have so many empty buildings (paid and subsidised by us the tax payers) when they could be used for greater good. KCC do the right thing and open up your empty buildings to the homeless now!!!

Dentists, chiropodists etc charge for missed appointments and considering the current state of the NHS there is no reason why GP practice's should not do the same. My surgery recorded 168 such missed appointments in January alone and the practice manager told me this was an average monthly total.
