This is important as walking through Evesham I do not feel safe and feel uneasy. Seeing frequent reports of anti social behaviour happening in our area shows something needs to be changed

This can’t happen. Officers claim the car park is surplus to requirements and people can simply park elsewhere but this contradicts local knowledge and experience. There will be a net loss of 12 disabled parking bays. High St/Mary St car park is the most accessible car park for many disabled people and older people who cannot walk far to visit High Street businesses or events/venues/groups in the vicinity. Many often can’t find a spot in the Crescent car park anymore and find Orchard multi-storey next door a nightmare by comparison. It is also the only place you can park in the area after 7pm (its lowest level is not locked) as Orchard is shut then. Removing that night time parking facility in particular would spell disaster for the popular nearby venues including CICCIC (Creative Innovation Centre) and the Lawns Social Club, businesses and churches, whilst also restricting the opportunities for many local residents to access a social life and increasing isolation. Taunton aspires to be a destination - for arts and culture, festivals, social activities, retail -  but removing this car park will do nothing but damage to town centre footfall, our cultural life and the town’s economy. Worshippers at churches in the area would also be deprived of the ability to attend services.  Vivary Park (owned and managed by Somerset Council) across the road hosts major popular events through the year attracting thousands of visitors, making the nearest car park - the High St/Mary St car park facility - absolutely vital to the continuing success of these and to avoiding traffic and parking chaos. People do not yet have an adequate level of public transport opportunities to always leave the car at home. We demand that Somerset Council presses PAUSE on current plans, undertakes a proper impact assessment, looks at all the options and commits to proper consultation and joint working with local residents, businesses and stakeholders to secure continuation of effective parking provision in the area (including at night) in the interests of Taunton’s community and economy.

This is important because thousands, if not millions of people depend on this benefit to maintain themselves. The Modernizing Support Green Paper also proposes changes to the Work Capability Assessment that denies those with mobility or mental health issues extra Universal Credit.

Local support needed establishing a Minor Injuries Clinic here in Formby I am writing to seek your support in establishing a Minor Injuries Clinic here in Formby, potentially within the Health Centre on Philips Lane or at another suitable location identified by the Council. This initiative addresses a significant gap in our community’s healthcare services.   Currently, when residents of Formby suffer minor injuries, there is no local facility where they can seek medical attention. Instead, they are forced to travel to either Southport or Ormskirk hospitals to access the nearest Minor Injuries Units. For those without private transport, the cost of a taxi for the round trip can reach £70—a burden that is simply unaffordable for many. For instance, a simple weekly visit for a medical dressing becomes an ongoing financial strain. Additionally, the bus service to Ormskirk Hospital is non-existent, and accessing the bus to Southport Hospital is challenging for many in our community, particularly for the elderly or those with mobility issues.   Local doctors and pharmacists are unable to treat minor injuries, often referring patients to these distant hospitals. This not only creates inconvenience for our residents but also adds unnecessary pressure on hospital services that are already stretched thin.   Given these challenges, we believe it is time for Formby to have its own Minor Injuries Unit. This facility would provide timely and accessible care, reduce strain on hospitals, and significantly benefit our community’s well-being.   This issue isn’t hypothetical—it’s personal. My neighbours and I have experienced the frustration and hardship of needing minor medical care, only to find no local options available. I’m sure many other residents have faced similar difficulties.   I urge the Council with the support of our MP Mr Bill Esterson to seriously consider this proposal and work with us to make a Minor Injuries Clinic in Formby a reality. Additionally, I invite fellow residents to join me in advocating for this much-needed service. Together, we can ensure that Formby’s healthcare facilities meet the needs of everyone in our community.   Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

I have seen that wet wipes have been in rivers, and just in the smallest piece of a riverbank, a mountain has been made out of them. This also makes pollution and climate change much, much worse; if people love this planet then we should look after it or one day it will be gone.

If you want your child to have a warm lunch then you have no option but to buy school dinners whose options include pizza, chips, muffins, and chocolate crunch... hardly healthy. 

For too long pedestrians, cyclists and motorists have had to deal with traffic approaching and leaving Rugby at high speed along the A426. The number of pedestrians trying to cross the road has increased in recent years as more development of residential areas along side this busy road has taken place. More children are walking down the side of the road to get to school, and the number of cars and lorries using it has increased as more logistics depots have been built in Coton Park and Rochberie Heights. There are frequent minor accidents at roundabouts along the length of the road as road markings have worn away and drivers do not observe lane discipline.  Pleas from local councillors to Warwickshire County Council Highways for action to be taken have fallen on deaf ears. We are now calling on the County Council to take action to reduce traffic speed along the section of the road that is currently 60 mph to 40 mph and to review and repaint the lane markings at the roundabouts.

The temporary accommodation has caused significant stress due to poor organisation on the day we moved in. Many of us arrived at Glen Eyre only to be informed of a gas leak, leaving us to navigate the situation without clear guidance. We have now been in temporary accommodation for three weeks, yet we have only received compensation for one week. Additionally, the location is quite inconvenient, as it is far from the nearest bus stop and requires a 40-minute to an hour bus ride to campus, compared to the simple 10-minute walk from Glen Eyre. 

The proposed cuts to inclusion will affect ALL children in Edinburgh schools, disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable.  Some of the proposed cuts are currently as follows - Removal of a central Additional Support for Learning (ASL) service - Removal of Forest school. - Removal of Hospital education services  - Restructuring of Educational Psychology department. - Removal or paring back holiday hub service that supports disabled and ASN children in the school holidays.  - Adding more duties to PSA job descriptions including the expectation that they will have to deal with physical violence as standard.  - It is unclear what will happen to English as an Additional Language services, one of the largest additional support needs in the city. Why is this petition important? Despite the spin that this is merely restructuring, it is quite clear that this is a cost-cutting exercise for an already overstretched service.  The cuts will have a huge negative impact on ALL children's education: disproportionately impacting both children with disabilities and those from minority ethnic backgrounds. Over the last year, the  families of children with ASN have already fought CEC attempts to remove Edinburgh Childcare for All (afterschool care for disabled children), the Enhanced Support Bases (support for ASN pupils in mainstream schools) and Holiday Hubs (holiday support for disabled children who can't attend typical holiday clubs). Concerned parents have attempted to consult with CEC over the last year but are extremely disappointed with how this has been handled. Surveys and engagement meetings appear to be tick box exercises, with concerns expressed by parents and teaching staff not being addressed and unrealistic timescales being imposed.  Therefore we need your help. We  ALL need to work together and raise our voices to make CEC listen and realise that their plans are not acceptable. By sharing and signing this petition and writing to your councillors,  you can add your voice to tell Edinburgh councillors loud and clear to STOP INCLUSION CUTS. What’s the bigger picture? School should be accessible to all children, regardless of disability or support needs. 48% of school pupils across Lothian have some sort of Additional Support Need, a percentage dramatically rising. Removal of any of these services is going to be detrimental to ALL our children. According to the Scottish Government, “Disabled people should have freedom, dignity, choice and control over their lives. We want to remove the barriers that stop people from enjoying equal access to full citizenship.” These plans are clearly at odds with this ethos.  The Holyrood Education, Children and Young People Committee 2024/4 inquiry into Additional support needs in Education found that local authorities were already failing to implement mainstreaming properly, saying 'the situation for children with additional support needs is intolerable' (Susan Webber MSP Committee Convener) By signing this petition, you are also telling the Scottish Government that they need make good on their promises and provide adequate budgets for councils to be able to protect these services. 

Over the years one of the most popular events On a Sunday morning was Brighouse car boot sale over 100 cars attended , it was stoped due to Covid . The council refuse to bring it back and will not give a reason why.

It is an iconic and handsome building, built during the depression to give work to the people of Poole.

It is important that this issue is addressed so no more life are sadly lost.
