For everyone's benefit. Wildlife, the planet and people alike. The council has more than matched their housing targets year in and year out and now needs to show it's seriousness regarding its commitment to the environment as laid out in their manifesto. PRA site has benefitting physical and mental attributes not only to the people that use it but also to the wider community. Growing and harvesting locally produced fruit and vegetables is a very worthy, necessary and encouraged, both locally, nationally and internationally, pastime. Surplus/donated produce also helps with ever increasing demands for stock at local food banks. It also benefits local city flora and fauna established havens. Rare pieces of city wildlife are paramount in saving .... history will judge today's people/decisions of their seriousness in tackling environmental matters and commitment to keeping sections of their community as green open spaces. Fragile wildlife (both creature and fauna alike) cling to such havens for their very survival. PRA is very special indeed for being home to such wildlife. Preserving open green space not only as a source of carbon capture but also as a benefit to people (physically and mentally) and all that wildlife includes. With added kudos of continuing the landscaper Capability Brown's vista until now protected through diligent and common-sense actions of authorities for hundreds of years. Historical ring-fencing of the highest order. A sensible agreement for maintaining open green space adds gravitas to the councils commitment to its environmental aspirations and respect to the Duke of Northumberlands estate for bequeathing important sites such as these to a forward thinking, progressive and sustainable, green future. Please consider this petition with heartfelt compassion as we only have one planet. Thank you. P.S. I hope the King sees this and impresses his green agenda and influence upon Earl Percy as he is friends of the Duke of Northumberland albeit slightly poorer than the Duke!

We need as many residents as possible to join our campaign to make West Bretton a safer village. Please sign our petition so we can make change.

The UK is sleepwalking into becoming an entirely cashless society, some shops and venues already refuse to accept cash as a form of payment. Tapping your card, or using an app is incredibly convenient and helpful for many of us, but not everyone has easy access to smartphones and banking. A move to an entirely cashless society would exclude many people particularly older people or those without homes. Government and businesses should work together to ensure that cash is always accepted as a form of payment, to prevent a two tier society.

The Sidings is a popular spot for lecturers and students from Darlington College to park. The road is often full of vehicles which park on both sides of the roads, this makes it difficult for residents to enter and exit the area. It also makes it impossible for emergency vehicles to enter the area. This situation is dangerous and we are worried that this might cause accidents.

Pero’s Bridge is named after an enslaved person, someone our city chose to honour by naming the bridge for him. To have it weighed down by the very symbols of oppression disrespects his memory.

There is no speed control on Fraserfields Way which has led to accidents, speeding and now also welcomed racers over weekends

We should have speed ramps put down to stop cars speeding onto the street. It's a safety issue for residents and members of the public using the cut through from the main road. As there is no footpath speed ramps would solve the issue.

Many people from the village , and those that use the road, have expressed their concerns and fear of meeting an HGV travelling at speed ,often over the centre line , coming towards them. One of the three recent speed related accidents concerns a lady driving from Gillingham to Mere in her husband's large car. The lady was confronted by an articulated lorry that was in the process of 'jack knifing ' (when the trailer over takes the drivers cab.) The side of the trailer struck and crushed the front of the car. The lady suffered shock and bruising. Had she been driving her own sports car the result would , in all probability ,have had a different out come as her sports car would have gone under trailer.

Since X/Twitter reinstated Tommy Robinson’s biggest social media platform on 6 November 2023, he has wasted no time in whipping up anti-Muslim hate on the site once again. Tommy Robinson is a prominent far-right figure and founder of the English Defence League. In 2018, he was banned from Twitter for violating rules around ‘hateful conduct’ and now has 5 years of hateful content to share. And Katie Hopkins was banned in 2020 after years of anti-migrant hate. Her past statements include calling migrants “cockroaches” and “a plague of feral humans” and describing London Mayor Sadiq Khan as the "Muslim mayor of Londonistan". Blocking the far right’s social media limits their ability to spread the word about their events, fundraisers and hateful rhetoric. After Robinson’s ban from Twitter in 2018 and from Facebook and YouTube in 2019, hundreds of thousands of fewer people saw his content every month. Before his bans Robinson was able to get 10,000 supporters to his rallies, while in 2019 numbers struggled to get beyond a few hundred. We stand against Musk’s decision to give them both a platform to spread hate and misinformation. Do you agree? Add your name today.

Cornwall needs good full time well paid employment to enable our children and grandchildren to stay. This will never happen until government and companies invest in the area and a good reliable train link is essential to that investment.

Imagine finishing your day's work and wanting to spend some peaceful 20 minutes in the park to unwind, only to be met with pitch-black pathways. To a friend, I’d say this park is part of our community's heartbeat—it's where we connect with nature, unwind from our busy lives, and watch our children play. But half of the year, when the days are shorter, many of us are deprived of this vital community asset. By installing proper lighting, we're not just brightening pathways; we're connecting communities around Fairlands Valley Park, enhancing safety, and extending the park's welcome to every resident, every day. This isn't about luxury; it's about making sure that everyone can feel safe while using our public park. Here is a quick overview of what lighting in Fairlands Valley Park can do for our community: - Accident Prevention: Brighter paths mean no more slipping and tripping which makes our park safe to use for everyone. Especially for those with reduced mobility. - After Hours: Our park doesn't close when the office does. Enjoy after-work relaxation. - Active Travel: The park provides key routes for active travel, walking, cycling and wheeling avoiding busy roads. - Family Friendly: Safer walks for kids after school and for evening activities. - Dog Walkers: Evening strolls with your furry friends, stress-free. - Football Matches: Walk back on well lit paths after an exciting match. - Enjoy Nature: Experience the outdoors all year around. Not just on the weekend. - Community Care: Lighting deters antisocial behaviour, keeping our park welcoming. - Feeling Safe: No more looking over your shoulder or taking detours. Walk, run, and play without worry. - Sustainable: Advocating for wildlife-friendly, energy-efficient solutions. Stevenage Borough Council is currently looking into the issue of lighting in Fairlands Valley Park. I asked them a question at the Council meeting in October 2023 with the request to install lighting to make the park feel safer to use and they have started a review. While the Council acknowledged my concerns, no commitments have been made. What I couldn’t convey to the Council was that the lighting wouldn’t just be for me but that many people would benefit from being able to see where they are going. Adding your name to this petition will help show the Council that there are many more people in Stevenage who would like lighting installed in Fairlands Valley Park.
