BBC local radio stations, like BBC Radio Lancashire, play a vital role in reflecting local experiences and delivering local news. The BBC is having to make these decisions because the government are forcing it to make cuts by freezing the licence fee without committing extra funding. Please give the BBC the support and funding that it needs to make sure it continues to provide distinctive and genuinely local radio services with content that reflects and represents people and communities from all corners of the UK.

The Hampstead Antique & Craft Emporium is of significant cultural importance and is now recognised by Camden Council as an Asset of Community Value (ACV). The antique market is one of the oldest indoor markets in London and has drawn visitors from around the world to the heart of Hampstead for almost 60 years. The market is currently home for around 25 small businesses, and helps secure a livelihood for antique dealers, artists, vintage clothing sellers, jewellery specialists, repair and craftspeople. It provides a centre for the community to gather and an attractive destination for tourists. It encourages an appreciation of our past and retains old world charm in a village whose commercial streets are becoming the sole domain of estate agents and prohibitively expensive clothing chains. It provides affordable second hand items, repair services and showcases craftsmanship, quality and inspiring design built to last. This contrasts sharply with the unsustainable fast fashion and single use items generally available, all part of the throw away culture that is destroying our environment. Our market is based on reuse and repair, an ethos that should be encouraged and promoted for the good of the environment. Help us preserve the market at the Emporium and stand against its redevelopment as luxury homes and businesses. Stop some of our last small shops being squeezed out of the village.

This will enable the return of a safe cycle space for all, and for the centre to be run for the community, by the community. The Glasgow Green cycling centre is not just a patch of ground with bikes on it. It is nothing without the workers, volunteers and service-users who made it what it was: A safe, inclusive community which provided a shared experience for all. We are campaigning to recreate that cycling centre - for cycling lessons, led rides, disability cycling, bike repair and volunteering. We want a safe space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy cycling. Free Wheel North sacked its workforce with immediate effect on 21st September. They claimed that there was no funding left to pay wages and that the cycling centre was making a loss of £10,000 a month. But the financial figures they provided changed - literally - from one day to the next. Staff were sacked before they had a chance to challenge the final set of figures. Committed volunteers with years of experience were dumped. The centre is now being run by Free Wheel North Directors and inexperienced volunteers. This needs to change. Free Wheel North should be held to account for undemocratic governance. Prior to the redundancies, other organisations were interested in taking over the lease to keep the staff in their jobs, and to keep the volunteers in their posts. They are still interested in taking over the lease and running it properly, with due care to Health and Safety, PVG checks, welfare of staff, volunteers and service users, and providing a safe, inclusive environment. The Office of Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has an open inquiry into FWN due to the number of concerns raised throughout 2022.

North Cornwall is predominantly rural, linked by narrow winding roads. With the older population emerging from the pandemic into a transformed world, changes in bus services, timetables, and schedules have impacted the community. Accessing NHS appointments, commuting to work, and attending social gatherings have become challenging for residents. https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/2zapavgh/ltp-summary-document-52380-web.pdf The Plymouth City bus service we receive here in North Cornwall is not delivering on The Transport Plan.

Dog Day Care has become a popular and valuable service which provides important needs for dogs such as exercise, socialisation and all day care enabling owners to go to work. There are so many benefits for dogs who attend daycare: they are more content, better behaved, well socialised around other dogs, less anxious and easier to train. Day care also creates a safe place for dogs to run around freely without disturbing members of the public. It's also secure so that dogs who have a high prey drive or cannot be trusted off lead can play and interact safely. Crufty Pups Creche played an important part and worked safely throughout Covid, meaning that key workers could still go to work and vunerable owners could isolate whilst still meeting the needs of their pets. We feel that this also prevented some dogs from having to be re homed or developing behaviours such as anxiety or losing confidence with social skills. If Crufty Pups Creche were removed from the land, we would be faced with little option but to close altogether since the set up costs to relocate would not be affordable. Not only is this place valuable to dog owners, but also the staff, volunteers, students who complete work experience with us and all of the dogs who spend their days with us. Please help us by signing this petition which I will be presenting to the council along with my special circumstances planning application.

Being an MP is a full time job. It is not something that should be done with half measures. Right now during a cost of living crisis and government unrest, it is of extreme importance that all MPs serve their constituencies the best they can. Taking on second jobs or going on holidays outside of parliamentary recess can simply not be better for the good of constituents and the UK as a whole. When someone decides to become a teacher, they do so knowing it means they will be limited on when they can go on holiday. If you choose to run for Parliament it should be with the same understanding.

Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules. The fact that he is trying to cash in on his terrible legacy, rather than showing some humility or seeking to reflect on the appalling consequences of his time in Government says it all about the sort of his person he is. Families were ripped apart by Matt Hancock’s actions, and turning on the TV to see him being paraded around as a joke is sickening. If he had any respect for families who lost loved ones to Covid-19, he would be sharing his private emails with the Covid Inquiry, not eating bugs on TV. Then again, perhaps if those emails came to light no TV station would touch him with a barge pole. ITV should do the decent thing and remove him from the programme.Over 200,000 people lost their lives to Covid-19 across the UK. Matt Hancock was at the very centre of decisions such as locking down late, allowing large scale sporting events to go ahead as the virus ran rampant and failed to get our healthcare workers the PPE they needed. On top of that he was fired after breaking the rules he helped set. His profiteering and shameless search for publicity in the run up to his book launch is another insult to already grieving families.

Our country would be both discourteous and give the impression of a downgrading of our commitment to action on this, the greatest challenge ever to confront the human race, if he is hindered from participation. In contrast, a strong groundswell of support for the King's attendance would send a message to the Conference and to our leaders here in the UK.

Britain must play its part in saving the planet from a climate catastrophe - and must be seen to do so on the world stage.

Porthleven is a small traditional fishing village in Cornwall. Every year they hold a food festival that serves alcohol all day every day and is wide open to the sea, with no safety rails off the harbour or pier. My friends life was lost this year and safety modern day measures need to come into place before anyone else is lost. The dates for the next festival have been released for April 23. Barriers and safety measures need to be put into place even if its just short term whilst the festival is on. Closure of the pier from 6pm till 6am whilst the drink fuelled festival weekend takes place needs to be implemented at the very least. This old Cornish town traditional food festival has obviously grown in modern times and tourism and volume and popularity, but unfortunately the safety of the Porthleven small fishing village has remained as it was many centuries ago. There are no safety barriers or lights on a pier that goes straight out to an aggressive sea.
