There is a very important issue that has not been raised in the press, possibly because the media is covering up for the establishment and dont want to to rock the corporate boat that they are all in it together, the rest of us are not of concern. I should point out that I was a Police Officer and have been retired for nearly 10 years. I know that things change, but I have it on very good authority that the system is now broken. There is a fraction of Officers to police an area where there was enough work 10 years ago to keep 50 Officers busy, now there is less than 25, and the area is bigger. The rate of recorded crime is falling, because there are no proactive operations to arrest people who are committing crime, and because the public believe that the Police will do nothing, they are not reporting the crimes that are occurring. Because Officers are rushing the public and making more mistakes, there are more complaints against the Police. That leads to greater stress and more Officers being long term sick, which increases the strain on the people left. The Police are being passed jobs by the ambulance service because a patient has chest pains and they have no resources available, so the Police are not able to do the job as they should . Whilst the wheel is still on at this moment, it is only because of the professionalism of the Police Officers who are doing their best, but it wont last. This Home Secretary has made some big promises to the public, that front line services will not be effected, well that will be tested in the next major incident or public disorder and we will then see this illusion for what it is. The cuts experienced so far will continue for another 5 years if the present government is returned to power, and there will be no going back from that situation. The bankers have had their bonuses and the rich their tax cuts, but I was not aware that it was on the back of the destruction of our public services.

We have duplication of research in cancer from around the world brining the great and the good will being a cure for ALL cancers quicker and use charity funding effectively.

You can only have a medical abortion in Northern Ireland. It is only done at a independent clinic in Belfast, and only up to nine weeks in the pregnancy. Women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies. Stopping abortion here is forcing women to fly elsewhere to get an abortion or forcing them to have a child they do not want, or in some cases seek out illegal means. A pregnancy does not only affect a woman physically but affects a woman's education, her employment, and her entire family and social life. Preventing women having the right of abortion makes women carry all the adversity and blame for unwanted pregnancies. Motherhood should be a choice.

Cuts in public services, benefits, wages and conditions at work are being imposed in the name of austerity. These cuts are causing permanent damage to people’s lives, to their health, families and communities. The very structure of our civic and cultural life is being permanently degraded. As the People’s Assembly Wales we say on the grounds of justice and equity that enough is enough. Austerity cuts must be stopped by every means possible. They are unnecessary, cruel and alternatives can be implemented – if there is a political will to do so. Action in Wales against austerity: • We support all local campaigns against austerity in Wales joining together to strengthen collectively the effectiveness of our challenge. • Get involved – we call upon every individual in Wales to defend all services and benefits and unite to challenge the UK government austerity policies. It is easy to start campaigning – just contact us. • We call upon Welsh trade union leaders and members to oppose austerity in every way possible, including through the use of industrial action and joining with local community campaigns. • We call upon all Welsh political parties which oppose austerity to work toward joint action and policies, including support of trade union and anti-austerity action and campaigns. • We call upon all Welsh election candidates and elected representatives to commit themselves to act against austerity policies. First, by being prepared to implement alternatives. Second, by voting to do whatever is necessary to stop austerity cuts up to and including refusing to set a cuts budget.

Belmont Children's Farm is a fabulous local community and educational resource in London Borough of Barnet allowing children, students and those with learning difficulties access to farm animals and a day out in a beautiful rural environment in the heart of London. It educates through practical experience and helps to raises awareness of farming and animal welfare, and to teach children (and adults) where our food really comes from. WHATEVER YOUR POLITICAL PERSUASION please support the campaign to try to get Barnet Council to reverse their closure decision (after a one month reprieve the farm is still set to close at end April 2015). The farm is just 9 miles from Marble Arch in the centre of London. It is a unique and invaluable rural educational resource in the heart of London. Maybe the Tory council in Barnet and the property developers would prefer to build thousands of houses here instead ? Who knows the real reason ? Please support the campaign to keep Belmont Children's Farm open. You can watch the campaign video here https://vimeo.com/123298701

Arlington is one of the first thing you see when you come out of Margate railway station. Billionaire leaseholders Freshwater only pay Thanet Council £7,500 per year for the entire Arlington site, which is less than the yearly rent on a shop in Margate! Tesco have pulled out of opening a superstore at Arlington and Dreamland is opening on June 19th. Now is the time for Thanet Council to act. Dreamland needs to be a success. Walking past a boarded up site and with badly needed parking out of use isn't acceptable.

Our one Earth is slowly being poisoned to death by our thirst for energy. BP should be doing everything in their power to alleviate this situation and help us make progress. The research they have locked away could hold vital clues for future breakthrough discoveries and, at the very least, stop scientists wasting their time by duplicating experiments that have already been attempted. There is absolutely no excuse for BP to avoid disclosure. They are literally murdering innocents through their silence. The Guardian newspaper has presented credible evidence of their culpability in this matter and I would strongly encourage everyone to read this article: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/16/bp-dropped-green-energy-projects-worth-billions-to-focus-on-fossil-fuels Why is this urgent? Well, the longer BP keep their knowledge locked-up, the more our planet is choked to death by pollution. A barrel-load of signatures from everyone on this petition mean we can bring real pressure to bear on this corporate behemoth, which would make all our futures much brighter.

We are losing control of staff members by using external contractors to find staff for NHS. This could be for floor cleaning to doctors from abroad laying off of staff then re-employing into agency is not a good thing to do it needs to stop now or we lose the NHS to American contractors

The Weston Gate development, (Weston, Berkshire) contrary to the approved original plans to connect to the main sewer, have decided instead to install a Klargester system. This system would entail discharging "secondary treated sewage" directly into the River Lambourn. With no prior public consultation, the developers change of plan to install this system could upset the delicate balance of the river and result in contamination and damaging levels of phosphate developing. This could be extremely harmful to the purity of the river and its wildlife. The River Lambourn is a protected, ancient and rare chalk stream. The river supports varied and diverse wildlife from otters and swans to trout and crayfish. 85% of chalk streams in the entire world are in England. These rivers have been likened to our equivalent of the rainforest, globally rare ecosystems which merit the very highest level of protection. Please consider joining our campaign in order to protect this delicate and beautiful river.

This is prime tourist land and the proposed building is totally inappropriate. The design in no way represents the quality of the building that was previously there and it does not fit in with the Victorian style buildings on either side. The proposed usage is also totally unsuitable if we are to attract tourists and regenerate the Seafront area. To even consider retirement flats and a Co-op supermarket opposite a newly refurbished South Parade Pier and on such prime tourist land is beyond comprehension and if McCarthy & Stone have one ounce of intelligence and care about the local economy and the people of Portsmouth, they will withdraw the application themselves. We already have an example of their work with the shockingly out of place "Homeheights" development next to the the Queens Hotel in Southsea that demonstrates their catastrophic failure to fit in with the surrounding area or build something of any substance and even that is allegedly 4 floors higher than was originally agree by planning. For the people of Portsmouth and in the name of common sense the answer has to be NO. We deserve better. Our Seafront deserves better and our City deserves better.

There is a massive running community in Aberdeen, and also within the surrounding areas with many running clubs based at all around the area. Aberdeen could only benefit from a high profile mass participation running event. This opportunity to have a half marathon in Aberdeen should be seized with both hands and promoted as a positive, healthy choice, life enhancing thing for anyone who wishes to participate, not to mention the massive benefits to 3rd sector charity organisations such an event brings. There are also massive benefits to local tourism, new high profile races can attract runners from far afield, so hotels and local businesses will see a knock on benefit. If other cities can host such an event, why can't Aberdeen?

6,840 motorists use the bridge every day, (feasibility study Nov 2012) East Farleigh is a charming, quaint village with the added treasure of a boating community. The anomaly is the difficulties motorists suffer on the medieval bridge. The traffic congestion is compromising the 14th century medieval bridge and footpaths. Creating noise pollution, damaging a restored converted Victorian train house, exhausting the residents, reducing the value of house prices and house sales, stressing the daily commuter, vulnerable road users, emergency services, local businesses and school children. The visibility either side of the single track ancient bridge is limited, so cars will begin to cross the bridge and meet in the middle, causing traffic jams and aggravated assaults where motorists are unable to reverse off the bridge to allow the other to proceed. There is an alternative bridge which should be considered in reducing the traffic flow. The unnecessary
