The greater business community of Glastonbury gains a badly needed increase in revenue due to the Glastonbury Brocante Fair. Local hotels, B&B's, retailers, pubs, cafes, craft makers and artists all benefit from the huge influx of visitors to the fair. The loss of this fair will have a negative financial effect on the whole Town and the Mendip region beyond. The majority of traders at the fair are from this local community. Glastonbury Town Council has a responsibility to restore this fair.

The demographic has changed drastically over the last few years with lots of families and young couples moving into the area from other parts of Bristol (and London). Everyone I speak to; friends, family, neighbours and fellow parents at the school gates agree that this investment is long-overdue. We need a pub that appeals to the many, not the few 😉

With brexit looming the only way that the UK can have a strong negotiating position is from working together. We must stand strong with Europe for European values against the Trump government. Germany works very successfully with a coalition of left and right.

Given the recent election results there is no mandate for a single party to decide the country's future about Brexit. A multi-party negotiating committee would have the interests of the British public, not their own political interests, at heart and secure the best deal for the good of the whole country.

This is very important, as the service we have should be in a central location, and not be relagated further down the valley than it already has been housed.

In the aftermath of the recent Manchester bombing and the London Bridge atrocity, The Daily Mail published a front page headline and a 13 page campaign against Jeremy Corbyn's inner circle and The Sun newspaper simultaneously published a libellous front page article entitled "Jezza's Jihadi Comrades", one day before polling stations opened for the General Election. These actions had the clear aim of influencing public opinion to believe there was a link between Jeremy Corbyn and Jihadism. These actions are highly inflammatory as they prey on a heightened state of public fear against Islam as well as potentially undermining the UK election campaign as a whole. We call on The Daily Mail and The Sun to issue an immediate public apology to Jeremy Corbyn.

Hosting a Polling Station at Leckhampton CofE Primary School raises safeguarding issues, places school staff under additional pressure, creates more administration and disrupts the school day. The school could close to overcome these issues but this would be unnecessary if an alternative location (such as Leckhampton Village Hall or Glebe Cottages, St Peter's Leckhampton) was used as a Polling Station. We reserve our right to appeal to The Electoral Commission against any decisions of the Returning Officer.

The fashion industry is renowned for being the 4th most polluting industry in the world, While some companies have admirably already started to focus their efforts on sustainability, I am concerned that real change will not be effected without government intervention. Without state regulation, there is very little, or nothing, to oblige companies to adopt better work ethics and ensure that the production process follows a moral and ethical code. We are unlikely to inspire change within the fashion industry without an incentive or government supported initiative. Taking tobacco consumerism as an example, studies have found that there was little change in people’s habits simply by printing warnings on cigarette packets. However, once the UK government took steps to ban smoking in public places the number of smokers dropped significantly. I would urge the British government and the European Parliament to consider the imposition of regulation within the fashion industry, to include production, environmental protection and working conditions. If we consider fast fashion for a moment, have you ever really given thought to the practices that companies must engage in overseas in order to produce such vast amounts of clothing on a large scale, still managing to sell them to consumers at £2-£5 per piece and yet also retain profitability? Fast fashion aside, how do luxury brands manage the huge quantities of waste they produce and how do they dispose of it? Many do not turn their mind to these matters because they are not within eye's reach. However, as a leading country in the Western world where we are increasingly concerned with climate change, where we pride ourselves on human rights and where we have enacted new laws to tackle slavery in the modern world, we have a duty to ensure that the things we consume (whether produced nationally or internationally) all meet a standard that we should be entitled to expect. It is time to encourage a political dialogue between the government and the fashion industry.

If we lose this opportunity we fear that the land will be built on and we will have lost the chance to link safe cycling routes into and through Bridgwater forever.

1. Our existing democratic system is no longer fit for purpose. It is too centralised, serves political parties before people, stifles talent, innovation and new thinking, is unresponsive to the needs of local communities and promotes short-termism. 2 At a time of increasing turbulence in world affairs, the nation is clearly divided in the face of the complex issues posed by the inconclusive EU referendum which excluded the voices of young people whose future was being decide 3 No single political party is able to look after the interests of the nation as a whole Recent elections and referendums have pulled the nation apart and previous governments have failed to invest in the regions and protect opportunties for non-partisan pubic discourse – either in the media or in the political process - causing uncertainty amongst the electorate in the face of complex decisions about the direction of our country Note that whist Parliament is dissolved, it is not possible to petition the government and there is precedent under clause 61 of Magna Carta to petition the Queen

He showed extreme bravery and courage in tackling the terrorists and saving lives of women and children during the London Bridge attack on 3rd June 2017.

It is the only public access sports area in West Bodmin. There is no indication they would replace it. Bodmin is already an air pollution management area. The traffic fumes in the area of the car park will remain at the bottom of the valley and increase the already existing air pollution problem.
