The communities of Culrain and Invershin are opposed to SSEN's plans to plant a string of super-large, 57m pylons across our small Highland villages. Option C1 is SSEN's 'preferred route' for the proposed 400kv pylon line from Spittal in Caithness to Beauly near Inverness. It cuts right through the ancient forest of Carbisdale (which harbours a flourishing population of legally protected red squirrels), ruins the setting of Carbisdale Castle and dominates the small village of Culrain. According to SSEN, this massive infrastructure project will take power from the area's many wind farms down to England and other 'centres of demand' further South. Crossing the Kyle of Sutherland near Culrain, where the stretch over the water is thinner, will save them a bit of cash. We don't think this is a good enough reason to railroad yet another beautiful Highland village. Since SSEN did not include the C1 route in their pre-public consultation advertising, the community only recently became aware of the seriousness of the proposals and the significant impact they will have on our lives and local environment. We invited SSEN to rectify their mistake by coming to Culrain to explain their proposals and hear our views, but they have refused. So, if you want to join us in telling SSEN to keep their pylons off our community, our forest and our beautiful red squirrels, please sign this petition. You can also add your detailed objections regarding the proposed C1 pylon route to SSEN's project feedback form here... https://www.ssen-transmission.co.uk/projects/project-map/spittal--loch-buidhe--beauly-400kv-connection/

I have two sons who both live with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. We are grateful for the NHS and have always received fantastic care any time we have needed it. There is just one problem, most of the Nurses we have encountered in both Paediatric and Adult Departments have little experience in Moving and Handling patients who require hoisting. This is due to a comparatively small number of patients requiring this, however for those patients who do, this is essential. Nurses really ought to receive moving and handling training, including with slings and hoists, and should have access to refresher courses at least once a year, to ensure that every patient receives the best care possible. Every patient deserves the best care, and when Nursing Staff have little or no experience this can result in injury to the patient and themselves.

Cost of living crisis and North Tyneside Council are still charging bedroom tax. They are one of a few councils that still charge bedroom tax in the North East, regardless of your financial situation. The majority of other councils in do not charge bedroom tax. Anyone on Universal Credit will lose 14% of their entitled money. Furthermore, the cost of living crisis has left me with Eighteen Pound and Ninety Five Pence per week to live on after all bills are paid.

Freedom of speech and the expectation that the BBC will hold power to account are essential if we are to live in a free society. The current management of the BBC is no longer able to uphold these basic standards and must reverse both decisions to cancel two national treasures for speaking the truth to power.

Millions of people are unpaid carers,or getting a small pittance if they do receive carers allowance.these caregivers are saving the government millions.if the disabled person had to go into a home for care it would cost thousands .help the caregivers as they are doing a phenomenal job and if they are of state pension age don’t get any financial help.it’s an extremely hard and stressful job,surely a small allowance isn’t much to ask .please help.

Abusers must never be rewarded. Its insulting to all victims of abuse. We must stand against violence being rewarded. Its reprehensible to even think an abuser should even be nominated for a knighthood. It sends out completely the wrong message. This wouldn't be justice for victims. No to abuse. Condemn not condone.

We all depend on energy in every aspect of our business and personal lives. However it needs to be affordable and without sudden, unexpected and unacceptable profiteering price rises.

Beckfoot Allerton Primary School is close to a busy main road (Allerton Rd). Our primary school children have to cross this road to get to school. There is no zebra or traffic light crossing and this is leading to the children being put in danger of a road traffic collision. We sometimes have a lollipop lady but she is not always there. We would like to take a preventative approach rather than wait for a serious accident to happen.

Children should not have meals stolen from them. Unfortunately in many households it might be the only meal they get.

Paying extortionate rent in a time of a cost of living crisis is totally unacceptable.

In Norden we will be waiting years for our play areas to see improvement. Upper Sherborne Playing Fields – earliest date 3 years / Arlott Drive – earliest date 6 years; Bennett Close/Martin Close – earliest date 10 years / Lyford Green – earliest date 18 years Whiteditch – earliest date 21 years / Oakridge Road – earliest date 43 years; Taverner Field – earliest date 43 years; At the current rate of 3 refurbishments a year, it will take the Council 50 years to upgrade the 147 play areas in the Borough. We need a better programme to meet the needs of residents and children, as many of our play areas are in desperate need of refurbishment now. We believe that the Borough Council need to take refurbishing our play areas far more seriously. We need a better programme of capital investment that meets the need our communities have for improved play areas.
