We’ve seen how families are struggling to make ends meet but it’s just as hard for pensioners as they have to face the same increase in their utility bills

With ever growing urbanisation the problem of water companies discharging untreated effluent can only get worse. They must be made to invest in new technologies but it has to come at government level. We need to send a clear message to Ofwat.

I was diagnosed with Bowel cancer aged 37 after being misdiagnosed with diverticulitis. Misdiagnosis is common in people under 50 because they are considered too young to have Bowel cancer and red flags are ignored. There is no age limit to Bowel cancer. There are approximately 42,886 cases of Bowel Cancer each year. Bowel Cancer has a 54% survival rate, if caught early enough. There is no action you can take to prevent bowel cancer, it is considered “The smoking old man’s meat eating cancer” which is simply not the case for everybody. My doctors have not been able to identify a single reason why I have this cancer and I don’t fit the bill at all. It is possible it has been present for years even though I am “too young” to have it. My blood loss and pain was thought to be a gynaecological issue and I was diagnosed with a Anaemia. Even a perforated bowel didn’t seem to ring alarm bells. Cancer was not a consideration. We now know I was losing blood via stools, without realising and a tumour had perforated my bowel, eventually causing excruciating pain. Screening could have detected this and I may not have had to have part of my colon removed in emergency surgery and have to live with a stoma. I want it made possible to stop this cancer in its tracks before it gets to my stage or further for anybody else. After all, if Bowel cancer develops it can also spread to lymph nodes then onto other organs which can be even more devastating. Let’s try to prevent more Bowel cancer related deaths in the future by screening adults aged over 30 annually and allowing anyone over 18 to opt in as well.

The parking situation in Fresh Wharf road has become unbearable to the tenants. A lot of individuals and guests continuously receive parking tickets after hours and especially on weekends. We have decided that if the parking situation does not change or tenants are not giving underground access, then we will have no choice but to opt to relocate to different residences away from Fresh Wharf Road, therefore we urge you to make changes to the parking situation here for the residents.

Millions of citizens are and will suffer, maybe even die, as a direct result of removing the energy price cap. The energy companies are making billions of pounds in profit, which mainly goes to shareholders and directors, it's not put back into providing new pipework, green energy or into lowering prices where it needs to be. Ofgem please Reinstate the energy price cap to where it was in November 2021 and for the energy providers to immediately reduce their prices. This is extremely important for the good of the whole country, nobody can afford the obscene prices that are now being charged. It will be forcing families to choose between heating and eating and people will die as a direct result. As usual, the poorest will suffer the most, but everyone will suffer if we don't stop these obscene price hikes in their tracks. It is time for the British people to stand up and fight back. Stop these greedy parasites from killing, now.

We are all suffering because profits have been put before the environment and people.

This is an ethical issue, but it is also an economic one. If we can improve the health of people in the global South, the global economy will improve. Furthermore, if we reduce the number of trained health professionals in less developed nations we are increasing the risk of further global medical emergencies. We need action now to plan how to become medically self-sufficient within the next ten years.

Pollution impacts us all but it particularly affects vulnerable people and children and costs many lives.We must all work together to put pressure on the government to eradicate this ‘silent’ menace.

People are relying on the bus for work, shopping, parents with children and buggies, older people who cannot walk the distance to get their shopping and medication. People are paying for a service and not receiving it. All people want is a reliable, timely, consistent bus service to enable them to get food, medicine, meet a friend, get out of their homes to get some social time, avoiding loneliness. It’s not a lot to ask for all of the above reasons.

Cost of living rises are bad enough without having choose something else over you medication. Some pensioners are being made to pay for these too.

Separating pets from their family will cause lots of knock on issues including mental health issues and animals starving and dying in the streets. For lots of people, pets are close companions/Family and the stress and mental health issues for all is heartbreaking.
