By signing this petition you will be supporting the application to Bassetlaw District Council to declare the Robin Hood an Asset of Community Value. The Robin Hood is the only Pub in our village. Following the sale of the pub by Enterprise Inns to a property developer it is now in grave danger of being demolished as part of a housing redevelopment. Village residents have not been consulted in this or in the planning process. The Pubs doors closed over night, the landlord left and no attempts have been made to re-open it by the new owner. Elkesley is a small village with approximately 850 residents. The village Pub has been the main source of evening entertainment for many years. It provided the base for many local activities, hosted Beer festivals, parties, BBQ's, charity events and more. Each year villagers would take part in the "Robin Hood Walk", dressed up as Robin Hood and other characters, the annual village spring clean was another event which the Pub was the base for. It's facilities have been used by walking groups and other clubs for decades and it has provided a base for village life. The restaurant used to be one people would travel miles to visit and home made take away food was available for the elderly residents of the village. Wedding Receptions, Birthdays, Christenings and Wakes have all taken place within its walls, a plethora of memories... A memorial to lives of villagers and patrons tragically lost sits within its grounds... Having the pub Declared as an Asset of Community Value is the first step in persuading the planning authorities not to allow the developer to proceed with demolition of the pub and paving the way to getting it reopened. It would mean that should the developer decide to sell the pub on, the community would have the opportunity to buy it themselves and reopen it. Signing this petition does not commit you to being part of any future purchase, it simply shows your support for the pub and its future.

The construction of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR) from Postwick to Norwich Airport will cost over £133 million, with UK taxpayers funding £88 million via the Department for Transport. However local councils intend to spend at least a further £45 million of Norfolk taxpayers’ money to extend the road by 4 miles to the A1067 - a double-whammy for Norfolk residents. This at a time when budgets for the emergency services, health and social care, libraries, museums and education are being slashed. This is socially, financially and environmentally reckless. Please sign this petition to urge the council to put people before roads.

Firefighters understand that times are difficult and money is tight, but we believe these cuts go too far and would risk the long term safety of the public. The cuts would lead to slower response times, with fire engines taking longer to reach you in times of need. They would lead to a significantly increased risk to both the public and firefighters alike. Please add your name to our petition and tell Gloucestershire County Council to rethink these dangerous cuts!

If we do not prevent this contamination even the rich will become impoverished! No Barry Ash Dump - Stop the Incinerator Ash 'Facility' in Barry Town! We’re challenging Council approval of a plan to bring Cardiff’s incinerator ash to Barry -75000 tonnes per year on unused dockland close to homes and businesses. They would not simply dump the ash but extract metals, then aerate the ash in open-air heaps and grade the matured ash into building aggregate. Not only are these operations very dusty, but the dust is toxic, with lead, cadmium etc. The strong winds across the open site will carry scarcely visible toxic dust particles to many residential areas around the Dock and into the town center. Other incinerator ash sites are in rural locations, far from housing. Our community is the first to have it imposed on us. The regulators are concerned about harm to bio-conservation, but not about humans! Our lawyers are up to challenging this precedent that would dismiss the special health hazards and toxic nature of incinerator dust. The Vale of Glamorgan Council had to check risks to health, but failed to do so. They had asked Public Health Wales for their view on incomplete materials. A non-reply was used as excuse for ignoring risks to health of inhaling and ingesting the incinerator. Infants are especially vulnerable, being more sensitive to toxic metals and ingesting via. finger-licking. This crassly ignorant, almost criminal decision by the planning committee on 3rd Sept. 2015 can only be quashed by Court Order. Leading environmental lawyers Richard Buxton have lodged a case on our behalf. As well as part funding under Legal Aid, the community has to raise funds several £1000s towards it.

We need an improvement to this service and not for it to be downgraded any more, this is important because the population of the surrounding area takes in members of the public when they need the use of this service. We also demand the sexual health clinic be reinstated to New Addington as we have the biggest unplanned teenage pregnancy in London. So where is the logic in shutting the service then telling everyone to go to Croydon thus increasing the foot full to C U H.

The Banks are removing the fabric of rural communities by closing Branches many country miles from central Banks, many are 40 miles away = 80 mile round trip. The alternative of a Bank mobile Van twice a week is not working out for these more remote communities, and when it does come customers have to queue up outside whatever the weather, this can be a lengthy period. Rural areas rely heavily upon local services, this also affects tourism, which is the life blood of these communities.

My mother shopped at Stockport Market and I along with thousands of others have done so all my life. SMBC's policies over the last few years have had a negative affect on the market, particularly since the renovation of the market hall which allowed fewer stalls to operate. It feels that this has been a deliberate policy to run the market down. The market provides a low cost, high quality environment for people to shop. There are three good quality grocers, the only independent butcher, apart from Titterton's, in the town, an excellent independent bakers and again, the only independent delicatessen in the town. There is the only independent haberdashers alongside an ironmongers, stalls selling books, clothes, curtains, bedding - all of them independent. Stockport town centre is a heartless shrine to big name consumerism. The Market is a refreshing alternative to this and deserves to be cherished and nurtured, not have the heart ripped out of it.

Free open space is important for everyone, for town dwellers and those living outside towns. The Green Belt provides that free open space between built up areas. Surrey has areas of outstanding natural beauty which will be destroyed by excessive development around towns that will happen if Green Belt land is released for housebuilding

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) and Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) communities who are also HIV+ are highly vulnerable communities suffering from multiple forms of stigma and oppression. Skyline offers a safe environment where these essentially invisible individuals can be supported holistically through a whole range of physio-psycho-social issues. Without this service they will be further isolated having to negotiate the trauma that is an HIV diagnosis, alone.

The conservative party has repeatedly told us of the importance personal responsibility, of self-reliance and of fiscal responsibility. It is time to practice what they preach. They decided to hold the conference in an area that is seen as a heartland of trade union, the cooperative movement and left wing politics. It can only have been deliberate. For these reasons the people of Manchester should not be forced to pay the multimillion pound bill for this private event. If you go to a sporting event, the club pays; if you go see a band, the venue pays and by default those attending through the ticket price. This was a private ticketed event so those attending should pay. This is especially true at a time of such swinging cuts.

The scoring of children in their first weeks on entry to their new schools: -Is Damaging for children and inappropriate practice at an important transition time -Will undermine the current methods of assessment and practice used in early years settings -Will not improve the quality of schools -Is not a reliable source of data -Will lead to a further formalisation of learning in the early years and downgrading of play -Transfers funding from school budgets to private companies -Prevents the local education authority from having an active role in overviewing and monitoring assessments in the early years across the county and places this role directly into the hands of the private assessment providers and the DFE. We call on the County Council to write to the Secretary of State for Education calling for the removal of Baseline Assessment and the retention of the existing Early Years Foundation Stage Profile in our schools. We also call on the County Council to support any school that chooses not to implement the Baseline assessment.

The majority of the nations in the world are republics where such a ceremony would be regarded as at least quaint but, more likely, as a strange feudal remnant. There is a substantial minority of republicans in the U.K.for whom such a practice could only be viewed as demeaning. It is unnecessary for any M.P.s who have already committed to representing their constituents to make further pledges. Whether the Privy Council is an antiquated elite with access to the state's security secrets is an appropriate institution for an open democracy should be abolished could be a worthwhile subject for future debate.
