I am a school governor of a school which is being closed, against the wishes of the community, children of three years of age are expected to get up early, travel in a bus and very possibly go without breakfast. These children will lose all the comradeship attained through living in a close community. The only community shop will close because parents will not be taking the children to school, and will no longer be customers. This is a disaster for a close community.

Prior to the last election ,the present Government made far reaching promises to protect NHS and ring fence the spending, even promising to increase it .They have renaged on all the promises outlined in their Manifesto, not only on this issue but many others too,we as the electorate should have right to take them to task .

When mothers who are suffering need specialist perinatal mental health staff. Also the bonding and attachment with the mother is so important. The knock on effects of this illness is splitting families up and having huge effects on the next generation. The new report by MMHA says it will save the country money if the services was in place. Wales is 70 per cent lacking in support and families need help today. Read more here: http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/health/couple-launch-campaign-bring-designated-8394059

To volunteer to travel to an Ebola infected country, in order to treat patients infected with Ebola virus, takes a level of bravery which is beyond words, and is equally comparable with many military bravery medals. That high level of altruistic bravery cannot go unrecognized by the country at large.

Fracking and UCG cause environmental damage with little or no benefit to the local community.

It is a huge asset to our community. We must protest against this

We have a bewildering number of train tickets available, which can sometimes mean that for a long journey it is cheaper to buy 2 single fare tickets rather than one single fare ticket. Also, a return ticket can be cheaper than a single. It can even be cheaper to buy a ticket from one train company's ticket machine than from another train company's machine. Travelling to London Victoria can be cheaper than travelling to Clapham Junction (a shorter distance for me). Looking at a ticket machine screen can make your head spin, when all you want to do is get from A to B and be charged for the distance travelled. Legislation is needed to impose logic and fairness.

The current direction of welfare spending and procedures is not in-line with the will of the Scottish people and the direction in which we want to take. With 100,000 disabled persons standing to lose their lifeline in coming months it is imperative that the Scottish Parliament is able to make decisions on their welfare made based on the needs of the people of Scotland.

Julian Assange and Wikileaks provided a very important service to the whole world by exposing the extent to which the US National Security Agency (NSA) is invading everyone's privacy, among other things. He should not be forced to spend the rest of his life in the Ecuadorian embassy in London when there is a simple solution. Why have the Swedish prosecutors refused to see him over here, given that there are so many of his supporters who would be willing to pay their costs. He has not ben charged with any offence in Sweden - they merely want to question him over rape allegations.

It is cruel and unnecessary and promotes lack of respect for precious wildlife. It certainly makes for uncomfortable viewing. I recently wrote to viewer services at ITV and their response led me to reply: "I'm afraid that does not reassure me or my friends that those animals and insects are perfectly safe from harm during the tasks. If you were a small creature with a long tail and were forced to endure confined spaces with multiple other of your species and a large drama-driven 'celebrity', would you feel safe from harm? The snake felt sufficiently threatened to lash out in defence, and the small reptiles were trying to get away, clustering in corners and running to avoid the big body squashing into that small space. I think the producers know themselves this is wrong. Please come up with something that doesn't involve wild creatures. They are not here for anyone's warped entertainment. ............................ I was cringing at the cruelty of putting those poor creatures into an underwater tank to be trampled on and terrified, just because the producers think that's entertainment. Why can't the producers come up with tasks that don't involve putting wild and beautiful creatures in harm's way? .

diabetes affects all ages, sex and ability/disability however when having the screening done everyone is rendered almost sightless for a few hours and therefore extremely vulnerable - if they have to travel to another town to get this screening it they would either have to have an escort and take several buses or an expensive taxi and some diabetics are old and disabled plus they may be alone therefore having the test done locally would suit all concerned

This carriageway extension will not only pollute the area with noise and car fumes, it will rip up one of the few remaining greenbelts in the Rutherglen Area. This is apparently a protected greenbelt which mine & other local children helped plant trees and shrubs in over 12 years ago as part of bio-diversity excersize. This is where local families take their children for walks, where the children play In the summer months & in the winter snow, where many people walk their dogs and go for leisurely strolls. There is already 3 alternative routes in existence, None of these are by any means over congested at any time of the day. The residents of High Burnside did not choose to live on a main road so why should we be forced to do so now. This is just taking the problem away from One door and laying it at another. I think it's outrageous to spend this money on a road when the kids at the local high school are being given photocopied handouts of text books because the school can't afford the books for each pupil, When there is talk of increasing class sizes in the schools obviously because the budget is so tight to be able to afford the level of staff required, and when the NHS is in such a mess with the limited funding they have to exist on. I think this money could be better spent elsewhere And not spent on concreting over one of the last remaining greenbelts.
