The proposed staff restructure would drastically impair the world-class educational experience currently provided by Leeds Conservatoire thanks to the personalized academic structure and expert leadership. As a student body, we are aware that you are currently exploring various options to tackle the increasing strain upon the conservatoire’s finances. We understand that the scale of the current pressure is not something to be taken lightly and that action must happen. However, we are aware that one option being explored involves serious staff restructuring within the conservatoire. We have seen that there will be nine jobs at risk of redundancy across both schools; this will massively impair the educational experience of the students of all pathways. The prospect of the programme leader and curriculum manager being made redundant for the jazz would be greatly concerning for the future of our education at Leeds Conservatoire. This same concern goes for all other at-risk pathways. Not only do these course leaders set and manage the well-designed curriculums, but they also offer educational and professional guidance whilst remaining approachable and visible members of staff. We are concerned about how the personalized education currently offered at Leeds Conservatoire would be maintained under this staff restructure. While a ‘Head of Music and Education’ may be able to manage the admin work of the jazz, classical, film, and junior courses, they will not be able to provide the same curriculum level and quality for the individual pathways, and will not be available to provide educational help and guidance to students. This will undoubtedly lead to less competitive degrees compared to other institutions, decreasing our future employability. We are also concerned about the lack of detail currently being shared with students. Whilst we acknowledge that the finances and business of the conservatoire are private and complex, we feel that proposed changes of this magnitude should involve student voices — as ultimately it is us, the students, that will be the most affected. Section 4 of our 2022/23 Terms and Conditions states that ‘where a change is more significant, student consultation will take place before any changes are made that will impact current students.’ As a cross-pathway student body, we do not believe that this is currently being upheld. We understand that the issues you are facing are not simple or easy, but we feel that restructuring the staff in the currently proposed way would negatively affect all students at Leeds Conservatoire and hinder its largest selling point that helps it to be a world-class college and that other options need to be explored with the inclusion of the student voice in an open dialogue. We want to understand why this action is necessary, what will be done to mitigate any effect on our education, and why other options open to the institution are not viable.

An exPM who has been proven to have repeatedly misled the House should not be allowed to reward or appoint people whose moral compass is as off kilter as his own.

The leisure centre lease has been terminated by Waverly Council and it has passed to Surrey Council. Surrey has confirmed the building will continue to be used by the school but will not be available for community use after the end of June. Whilst discussions about re-opening for community use at a later stage are ongoing there is no certainty that these will come to a positive conclusion. Local news shows how the public have concerns about the future and if enough people sign this petition the council will have to act to protect this vital service.

Trust in politicians and government officials is at an all time low and this is part of running a clean house, preventing individuals access to politicians on the basis of their past role as an MP rather then on the merit of their arguments for the good of the country. When you work for a company, you will lose access to your privileges as soon as you leave. You certainly will not be allowed to keep your pass to access the companies’ premises or offices. I am appalled to discover that ex MPs get a lifelong pass to access Westminster Parliament. It is no wonder ex-politicians are offered jobs in (big) companies or organisations after having been an MP: it has in all probability little to do with competence and all with access to policy makers. I know that turkeys do not vote for Christmas but it is high time that our elected representatives in Westminster Parliament clean its own house and take concrete action to restore our trust in politicians doing the right thing.

The YMCA tell the charities commission their values are: We seek out: We actively look for opportunities to make a transformative impact on young lives in the communities where we work, and believe that every person is of equal value. We welcome: We offer people the space they need to feel secure, respected, heard and valued; and we always protect, trust, hope and persevere. We inspire: We strive to inspire each person we meet to nurture their body, mind and spirit, and to realise their full potential in all they do. We speak out: We stand up for young people, speak out on issues that affect their lives, and help them to find confidence in their own voice. We serve others NONE of those values are reflected for our community here in Hawksworth Wood. Their door is closed to our children. > We want change. > We want opportunities for our children and young people. >We want the Leeds City Council to enforce change by YMCA or make the building available to our community for them to benefit.

To Whom It May Concern Re: Proposed Closure of Jim Gillespie House (Abbeyfield) care home in Rugby This petition is to protest against the fact that Jim Gillespie House care home in Rugby, Warwickshire is being considered for closure by the Abbeyfield Society and express how shocked and appalled we are by that fact. It is a matter of personal importance to all current resident's and their families as well as the families of past residents that have benefitted from the wonderful care offered by Jim Gillespie House staff. Our families have seen first hand the way the residents entrusted to Jim Gillespie House are looked after. We have witnessed this over extended periods of time, that cannot be emulated by visits from Abbeyfield's Head Office. We can attest that the exceptional care offered surpasses the fulfilment of a job role but is care in the truest definition of the word. The proposed closure of this home would be an inconceivable loss to the local area and a heartless and unnecessary disruption to the home's current residents. Residents, many of whom have dementia, have bonds with each other and with the staff, and do not deserve to suffer being unsettlingly removed from the secure home that they, and their families, thought they had made for their later years. The proposal to close this home is wholly incongruous with the Abbeyfield Society's stated vision for: "Homely and friendly houses that have established great links within their community, making time for our residents and enhancing their lives by bringing everyone together." The management team and staff of Jim Gillespie House consistently deliver on this vision in a way that is utterly undermined by the proposed closure. It's exceedingly difficult to rationalise a performance-related reason to consider this particular home for closure when you consider the following points: 1. The occupancy rate for this home is close to 100% as compared to Abbeyfield's 2022 average of 76% 2. Jim Gillespie House always achieves its yearly budget, with no additional burden on the Abbeyfield Society's finances. 3. Aside from a period during Covid, staff turnover is low. 4. The home rarely requires more than one agency care worker, which limits the financial cost of operating this home to the Abbeyfield Society. 5. Throughout the COVID pandemic, Jim Gillespie House had no hospitalisations or deaths. The only cases occurring after all residents had received four vaccinations and led to minimal cold-like symptoms. A true testament to the management and dedication of all involved in the running of this home. 6. In 2018, a state of the art heating system was installed at a cost of close to £500,000. An expenditure that would seem to display confidence in the service Jim Gillespie House delivers. 7. The home cost the Society nothing to be built. It was paid for by a benefactor. It is difficult to imagine that many better run or more cost-effective homes can possibly exist in the Abbeyfield portfolio. Its reputation in the Rugby area has led it to be a very desirable and hugely respected care home. Its proposed closure would be a tragic loss to the local community and, most especially, its current residents and their families.

Recently we received an unexpected letter from Hackney Council advising that we need to remove our beloved JEALOUS rooftop sign. We are devastated to receive this news. The rooftop sign has stood as a symbol of the company and has been a landmark in Shoreditch for almost a decade. Not only do we love our sign, businesses and passers-by have also shared their love for it and have expressed that they want it to be a key feature in the local area for years to come. In signing this petition you are showing support to preserve the sign. Your support means the world to us. Let's keep our beloved sign shining bright!

The National Remembrance Day service is an event at which the nation honours those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms and the system of democracy on which they depend. Boris Johnson's contempt for the democratic structures of our government should permanently disqualify him from attending this and other national events in the official capacity of ex-Prime Minister.

This is important for: - safety including of children on their way to school and play - to promote active travel for health and to reduce air pollution - to promote use of the local park lane shops

Right now, we’re facing a heat emergency: water is being rationed, schools are closing, and vulnerable people are at extreme risk. But the government hasn’t brought in emergency measures to help people during an amber health alert. Everyone is talking about the heat, and it’s all over the news. Now is the time for us to make our voices heard by telling the Government to protect us by making sure emergency water supplies are provided by water companies and that protocols for extreme weather are activated.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants to spend millions of pounds of taxpayers' money on a Government advertising campaign to promote the Conservative Party’s “five priorities”. Civil servants are pushing back that the campaign is “too political”. There is pushback from those within Whitehall because Rishi Sunak’s plans clearly don’t fit within the guidelines. A huge petition right now will show Rishi Sunak that we agree with civil servants that taxpayer money should not be spent on adverts to promote him or his party.

Dear supporters, We stand at a critical juncture in the history of our vibrant community. Mamounia Lounge, an innovative and well-loved establishment, faces an uncertain future due to proposed changes to our lease. We cannot allow this iconic venue to vanish from our lives, robbing Mayfair of an irreplaceable gem. Let us come together and raise our voices in a united plea to save Mamounia Lounge. Since opening our doors in 2004, Mamounia Lounge Mayfair has captivated Londoners and tourists alike. We quickly established ourselves as a premier destination for food lovers, outdoor smoking and those seeking an unforgettable experience. Our innovative Lebanese and Moroccan menu has dazzled many palates, and we hope to continue to do so for years to come. However, the landlord’s request threatens to extinguish the magic of Mamounia Lounge. The proposed redevelopment of the Curzon Cinema building, which includes the revocation of Mamounia Lounge's trading license, jeopardises both establishments that have become beloved institutions within our community. This development smacks of profiteering, disregarding the years of dedicated service Mamounia Lounge has provided to our local community and beyond. We cannot allow this loss to happen. The Curzon Cinema has initiated their own petition, and we are prepared to follow their lead in defending our treasured venues. The recent grant of Asset of Community Value (ACV) status by Westminster City Council provides some protection, but uncertainties surrounding the lease persist. By signing this petition, you affirm that the potential loss of Mamounia Lounge and the Curzon Cinema would severely impact our community's amenities. Together, we can send a resounding message, ensuring they understand the local impact and the number of individuals affected by their decision. The time to act is now. Sign the petition, and let our voices be heard!
