I am sure that all of us know a friend or family member who suffer abuse daily. They need protecting from the ever increasing personal abuse.

It's something close to my heart, as finding work whilst you have a criminal record is totally impossible. I believe if you aren't a threat to the public, you should have the opportunity to find work.

Local support needed establishing a Minor Injuries Clinic here in Formby I am writing to seek your support in establishing a Minor Injuries Clinic here in Formby, potentially within the Health Centre on Philips Lane or at another suitable location identified by the Council. This initiative addresses a significant gap in our community’s healthcare services.   Currently, when residents of Formby suffer minor injuries, there is no local facility where they can seek medical attention. Instead, they are forced to travel to either Southport or Ormskirk hospitals to access the nearest Minor Injuries Units. For those without private transport, the cost of a taxi for the round trip can reach £70—a burden that is simply unaffordable for many. For instance, a simple weekly visit for a medical dressing becomes an ongoing financial strain. Additionally, the bus service to Ormskirk Hospital is non-existent, and accessing the bus to Southport Hospital is challenging for many in our community, particularly for the elderly or those with mobility issues.   Local doctors and pharmacists are unable to treat minor injuries, often referring patients to these distant hospitals. This not only creates inconvenience for our residents but also adds unnecessary pressure on hospital services that are already stretched thin.   Given these challenges, we believe it is time for Formby to have its own Minor Injuries Unit. This facility would provide timely and accessible care, reduce strain on hospitals, and significantly benefit our community’s well-being.   This issue isn’t hypothetical—it’s personal. My neighbours and I have experienced the frustration and hardship of needing minor medical care, only to find no local options available. I’m sure many other residents have faced similar difficulties.   I urge the Council with the support of our MP Mr Bill Esterson to seriously consider this proposal and work with us to make a Minor Injuries Clinic in Formby a reality. Additionally, I invite fellow residents to join me in advocating for this much-needed service. Together, we can ensure that Formby’s healthcare facilities meet the needs of everyone in our community.   Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

The temporary accommodation has caused significant stress due to poor organisation on the day we moved in. Many of us arrived at Glen Eyre only to be informed of a gas leak, leaving us to navigate the situation without clear guidance. We have now been in temporary accommodation for three weeks, yet we have only received compensation for one week. Additionally, the location is quite inconvenient, as it is far from the nearest bus stop and requires a 40-minute to an hour bus ride to campus, compared to the simple 10-minute walk from Glen Eyre. 

It is important to safeguard the profession so that it doesn’t go into extinction.  Without community pharmacies operational there will be not enough jobs for pharmacists.  Locum pharmacists are approximately 35% of the workforce in community pharmacy . Also a large number works in hospital, Gp practice and private sector, therefore there expertise is highly relied upon and should be valued. 

I think it now a basic need for everyone now that you need it to perform so many everyday tasks.

It is important to understand that a child with a disability has different needs therefore, should not be expected to comply with an overall standard. 

Mary Seacole House is a mental health charity that has been located on Upper Parliament Street for over 33 years.  Due to its long-standing connection with the area, people are very familiar with its surroundings.  Not only is the current space a prime location and very accessible, it  has a great potential to become a hub  which can link to and partnership with many other local organisations.  Our workshops are essential to serving the community and are well attended and well loved. Our present building is sufficient and is fit for purpose, accommodating, bright and inviting.  It was lovingly restored with an eye on the Toxteth community.

We believe that such a facility would provide a wide range of benefits, including but not limited to: • Physical and Mental Health Support: A wellness centre would provide access to fitness programs and treatments that promote healthy lifestyles and contribute to the emotional well-being of our community members. • Social Connection: A wellness centre would foster a sense of community by providing spaces for group activities and events designed to improve overall well-being. • Economic Impact: The establishment of such a facility would generate local jobs, attract visitors, and contribute positively to the local economy. • Environmental Considerations: A thoughtfully designed centre would emphasise sustainability and environmental wellness, potentially serving as a model for future developments in our area. We believe that the development of this centre will greatly enhance the quality of life for all residents. By signing this petition, we demonstrate our collective support for this project and urge the authorities to prioritise its approval and implementation.

It is important that governments and individual politicians must be seen not to be taken advantage of by the gift of goods, money, event tickets, air fares paid, free use of private jets, holidays etc. and those politicians MUST be seen as being entirely trustworthy and honest. Not the case as things stand today.

So we do not have to go to pubs or Markets to use the toilets

Most ordinary people don't get given gifts. In many professions (Civil Service, social workers, carers, Local Authority officers, LA Councillors, Doctors, Lawyers, Police) it is allowed to receive gifts. We are so used to 'sleaze' allegations where MPs and members of Government receive clothes, football tickets, holidays, etc) we take it for granted that MPs are entitled to receive gifts as long as they are registered properly. In order to clean up the image of politicians, MPs should be like the rest of us and not be allowed to receive gifts of any kind.
