CETA is the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement . It is very similar to TTIP. Part of it is the Investor Court System which is the same as the ISDS which will enable corporations to sue governments if they pass any laws that the corporation regards as infringing on any expected profits. the British European Committee B voted not to have an open debate in parliament about it so our only hope now is to persuade our MEPs to vote against it . Tufts University has performed a study which concludes that if CETA is approved it will lead to job losses, rising unemployment and inequality and the NHS will be threatened as Britain has not ring fenced it, as Germany has done for it's health service.

From the residents who are signatories to the petition who live in the following wards and who are affected by the rubbish decision of Camden Council which starts in April 2017: Frognal and Fitzjohns, Swiss Cottage, West Hampstead, Belsize, Gospel Oak, Hampstead Town, Highgate and Kilburn Background Camden Council under the guidance of Cllr Merik Apak has decided, in its wisdom, to remove weekly bin collections for most of residents of the wards listed above. Not all roads in those wards are affected but most are. See the Ham and High’s article confirming those affected wards. http://www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/environment/revealed_the_camden_streets_to_receive_fortnightly_rubbish_collections_1_4842664 If you are not sure if you are affected, you can check your postcode at the link below to see whether you have weekly or bi-weekly collections: Post code checker http://www.veolia.co.uk/london/services/services/north-london/camden/service-change-checker This decision raises a peculiar situation where residents in the same ward with roads which adjoin each other have different rubbish collection dates. The rationale for the decision has been to boost recycling. Camden states that it will still collect recycling and food waste every week. In a letter in the Camden New Journal, Cllr Apak states “for those homes that have been independently assessed to have enough space to store rubbish for two weeks, we will collect their non-recyclable rubbish fortnightly, from April 1 onwards”. Space outside homes have, therefore, been allocated as storage sites for Camden’s waste. If you have the space to store such rubbish, you are chosen. See para 1.4 at the link below: http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/environment/recycling--rubbish-and-reuse/our-new-environment-services-contract/ This decision has nothing to do with the suggestion that residents who do not currently recycle are encouraged to do so. If you live in one of the lucky wards still to receive weekly collections, there is no incentive to recycle – you will still have weekly collections. If you live in one of the unlucky wards, and already recycle - there is no pat on the back – it matters not because you have been selected anyway for 2 weekly collections. Unless you opt out, Camden will now distribute a 240 litre capacity black wheelie bin which you must keep within the boundary of your property. If you already have a large Camden green recycling bin, you now need to add a black one of the same size to your garden. You can opt out of receiving the wheelie bin by 18 Feb. And, the sting in the tail is that if your household rubbish exceeds the size of the new wheelie bin or, if you don’t want one, the 4 Camden orange bags they will give you to put your rubbish in for collection, they won’t take it. Once your orange bags are emptied, you have to put any extra rubbish in them and store for another two weeks or take independently to Camden’s local recycling sites – see para 2.3 of the link above. So Camden is not just moving to 2 weekly collections, they are limiting the amount of rubbish they will take away. So, if you recycle but are a large generator of rubbish – too bad – you have to store it for longer or take it to the dump yourself. What are we paying our Council taxes for?? As part of the same plan, garden waste will now be collected every Saturday as a paid-for, opt-in service. Residents who subscribe to the service will pay £60 for 9 months or £75 for a year – but there is also the option of heading to centres at Hornsey Street or Regis Road to drop off garden waste for free.

To send a message to current and future generations that, if we work together for the common good, humanity can redeem itself.

Neighbourhood groups are important to many people but social networks that show full names and even partial addresses such as street name and neighbourhood name make the most vulnerable amongst us even more vulnerable!

Take the EU referendum for example. Many older adults voted to leave the EU, but the people who will be affected in the future by these changes didn't get a say in what happened. If the leaving the EU has its difficulties, then the younger people will be affected. That is why I want you to sign this petition.

We created the NHS after the war when the country was broke and deeply in debt. Now that we are a huge economy the NHS is in crisis and most advanced western countries are spending far more on health than we do in the UK. Billions are leaking out of our economy in massive tax avoidance. Our NHS is very efficient but we need to bring the amount we spend on it up to the levels of other advanced economies, at least 11% of GDP.

It's difficult to plan finances around payments that move around the calendar each month. Direct Debits in particular don't cope well this this. The system is out of touch with modern family finances and needs to be changed.

Firstly; https://fullfact.org/economy/does-smoking-cost-much-it-makes-treasury/ Secondly; https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2015/09/alcohol-tax-revenue-outweighs-cost-of-abuse/ Drinkers and smokers, non drinkers, non smokers, please join my campaign. We all need the fabulous NHS .Please help me to petition the Government to give at least half of their revenue to the good old NHS, not sure where they're spending that money other than short films telling smokers and drinkers of alcohol to quit, better spent on the NHS I think. We may not all choose the same lifestyle but we should be able to decide where our taxes go and I want mine to be spent on the NHS, social housing and education. Put people first and bureaucracy last.

Unaccompanied refugee children in Europe are alone and afraid. They are cold and hungry and at the mercy of traffickers. They were offered the hope of a refuge in Britain but Amber Rudd in the government has decided to put an end to the prospect of their finding a safe home in Britain even though the Dubs agreement specified that 3000 children would be helped. So far only 300 children have been accepted. This is a cruel blow to the hopes of the rest of these children which has been condemned by MPs from all parties and by Religious leaders of all faiths. We beseech Amber Rudd to show British values of fairness, decency and tolerance and allow a safe passage to Britain for all these very vulnerable children.

When the bypass was built this was a small side road now it is a main road into the town , with two local schools that cross at the bottle neck, traffic calming implementations are totally inadequate and parking is none existent we need it sorted before a major accident happens

The Library Theatre is a 260 seat Art Deco theatre which is unique amongst the theatres of Sheffield. It is the only theatre owned by, and belonging to the residents of Sheffield. Sheffield groups perform there and Sheffield people make up the audience. It is “The People’s Theatre.” It is home to an eclectic mix of amateur theatre, youth theatre, dance, music, local primary schools and an extensive range of professional touring companies including Doc/Fest and Tramlines It provides our residents the opportunity to go to the theatre at a reasonable cost. It is visited by thousands of Sheffield residents every year and is regarded by those who use it as “our theatre.” It is ideally placed for those reliant on public transport and, for many, it is the only time they visit the City Centre in the evening. And if it goes? All the activities it supports will go with it. It will be a body blow to the cultural identity of the city. It mustn’t be allowed to happen. If a new Central Library is built, it is vital that a new theatre is part of the plan. It’s time for SCC to give the Library Theatre users the same guarantee they have given to the users of the Library and Graves Art Gallery.
