This is so fundamental when trying to tackle climate change!  We have the technology, it would create jobs in the Green Economy, and it could help reduce the cost of our energy bills. The impact could be game changing, so it MUST be compulsory for all property developers. They have vast profits and could easily absorb the cost impact. 

The science is clear; fossil fuels are primarily responsible for accelerating climate change. Worthing is already seeing the impact of the climate crisis, including an increase in flooding, rising temperatures, drought, and rising sea levels. These extreme events will have an even greater impact on the most vulnerable in Worthing.  A new global initiative is calling for a 'Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty' [Fossil Fuel Treaty] to plan the end of fossil fuel exploration and expansion.  The Treaty complements the Paris Agreement and addresses the need for a swift and just transition from fossil fuel energy into renewable, safe energy systems for everyone.  Worthing Borough Council is taking steps to reduce carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy but their efforts will be undermined if we do not bring down carbon emissions nationally and globally. Backing the Fossil Fuel Treaty would demonstrate that the Council is committed to doing everything possible to address the climate emergency.  If you are a resident of Worthing Borough, please add your support & sign the petition.      

Tax will be calculated on the emissions of the car. If I understand correctly most EVs have little to no emissions. So why does the government need to tax these? Tell Rachel Reeves that EVs are better for the planet and therefore don't need to be taxed

This is so important to supporting local drummers, supporting the local store so it doesn’t disappear forever!  We’ve lost so many drum stores around us throughout the years… The only one left is Play Music Today Norwich… We need this to be the reliable place where everyone can see someone face to face for advice, the things you need right at your finger tips and not rely on the web/online, which is becoming so easy to do now. But, by doing this, it adds to returns, not being able to try products out before they buy or even see them in the flesh! It brings the community together and we can start talking face to face once again! 

Petition: Standing Together for the Future of Pocket Park A Call to Action for Our Community Garden As we reflect on the incredible journey of the Pocket Park community garden in Hughenden Road, we are disheartened by recent developments regarding its future. Better Braybrooke, the organisation currently holding the lease, is exploring alternative partnerships, overlooking the very community that has nurtured this garden into a vibrant space. Following a dispute over basic health and safety policies, the difficult decision to walk away was made to avoid potential financial ruin or legal consequences. Unfortunately, the gates have remained closed, and the Pocket Park is once again left neglected. For years, this garden has flourished thanks to the dedication of local volunteers and residents - our community, transforming it into an oasis of beauty and community spirit. It has received numerous awards, a testament to our collective commitment. Yet again, our voices are being ignored. This garden represents more than just plants; it embodies the bonds we've built as neighbours and serves as a space for learning, growing, and most importantly connecting. We must come together to advocate for our community’s interests. Join Us in Taking Action! We invite all residents and those who cherish this space to unite and express support for the Pocket Park community garden. Your voice matters, and it’s time to make it heard. Let’s ensure the future of this beloved space reflects our community's desires and needs. Together, we must try and safeguard the heart of our neighbourhood. Let’s stand up for the Pocket Park garden and ensure it remains a place for us all—by the community and for the community. Please sign our petition,  share your thoughts, and ensure that the future of this beloved space aligns with our community’s desires and needs. For bigger impact write to Councillor Godfrey Daniel: [email protected] who is the leading member of Better Braybrooke who we have been in dispute with. Better Braybrooke New Chair Joshua Matthews: [email protected] Please don't forget to cc Local Councillors: Margi O'Callaghan and Cllr Mark Etherington so they are aware and sit in on the Trustee Meetings so our voices are not being continued to be ignored.  Please we ask all those lives we have impacted to stand by us and make our voices heard together.

It is a danger to life and quite scary for children some as young as 14 to cross that road without any safety precautions 

Standing charges for gas and electric were abolished in 2009 due to the financial crash, under the previous Labour Government. Standing charges have doubled in ten years. They are crippling the whole country particularly those on benefits, the elderly, people with disabilities and people on low incomes. The current Labour government has raised them again. If standing charges were removed the country would be able to heat their homes over the winter months. The whole country is will be paying £362 per year just to have access to gas and electric,which is an essential commodity. 

I would say that people need to recognise that animals as well as people feel pain and suffering and should not be subject to and more than they already experience through the rearing process for food.

Since the scheme was closed in 1994 the guarantor (government) have taken a total of £3.2 billion from the investment reserve and are to take another £2.3 billion in 2033.  The guarantor had a pension contribution holiday of about 7/8 years before 1994. Hence   for over 40 years the government have never contributed to the scheme but continue to profit from it.  At the recent Labour Party conference Ed Milliband committed “to finally deliver justice to the mine workers and their families”. However the labour government appear to have overlooked the BCSSS and are only engaged with the MPS.  Many people had their pensions moved from MPS to BCSSS, as their roles in the industry changed.  Both schemes have broadly similar aims, to provide pensions for retired staff from the coal mining industry. The government to “deliver justice” to all mineworkers must deal with BCSSS as it is with MPS and make the necessary changes to no longer profiteer from the BCSSS. 

The insurance needs to be lowered as it is too high for young drivers to pay! There are people out there who struggle with money but want to be able to drive and get out to be independent. Young people want to be independent and get out on their own! 

Katie Hopkins is a well known far right promoter and has somehow thrived by making a career from spewing hate. In fact, in 2021 she was voted Britain's most hated woman. Her ideals are intentionally provocative and has been banned from most social media for breaking rules for Hateful content. She has also called for a Final Solution to be put in place.  I fear our wonderful town of Great Yarmouth, a much loved family tourist destination is being divided by hate and I believe she will further intensify that with her venom for all our communities.

Without a permanant home, the risk here is that Tony will lose his beloved boat that has become a feature of Eastbeach.
