• Ensuring Safety: A Petition to Promote Responsible Dog Ownership
    Safety of the Community: The primary concern is the safety of the community. By implementing stricter regulations such as mandatory leads and universal muzzling, the risk of dog-related incidents, including attacks and accidents, can be significantly reduced. This ensures that individuals, including children, pedestrians, and other animals, can feel secure when interacting with dogs in public spaces. Prevention of Dog Attacks: Dog attacks can cause severe physical and emotional harm to victims. By promoting responsible dog ownership, including the use of leads and muzzles, the likelihood of unprovoked attacks can be minimized. These measures act as preventive measures to protect both individuals and other animals from potential harm. Mitigating Potential Hazards: Dogs that are not properly controlled can pose various hazards in public spaces. They may chase wildlife, cause traffic accidents, or disturb other individuals. Implementing regulations that require leads and muzzles helps mitigate these risks, creating a safer and more peaceful environment for everyone. Responsible Dog Ownership: This petition emphasizes the importance of responsible dog ownership. By promoting the use of leads and muzzles, it encourages dog owners to take responsibility for their pets' behavior and actions. Additionally, education and awareness campaigns can provide valuable information on training, socialization, and understanding canine behavior, fostering responsible ownership practices. Harmonious Coexistence: The goal of this petition is to promote harmonious coexistence between dog owners and non-owners. Stricter regulations and responsible dog ownership practices can help build a mutual understanding and respect between individuals. This, in turn, leads to a more harmonious and inclusive community where both dogs and humans can coexist peacefully. By addressing these important aspects, the petition aims to create a safer, more responsible, and harmonious environment for all community members, whether they are dog owners or not.

  • Reinstate Clive Myrie as a news reader
    Clive Myrie deserves better treatment. This is another Gary Lineker moment. We pay the Licence fee, we can demonstrate that this removing him as a newsreader is ridiculous and unfair. Accepting this could be a step on the slope to more control over what we're 'allowed' to hear. It will intimidate other newsreaders or makers of 'serious' programmes or persuade them to desert the BBC for other, more independent channels. What happened to freedom of expression? He told no lies, merely made a few teasing references to a disgraced politician.

  • Student misery from the Renters Reform Bill
    If the current proposals that prevent private landlords letting on a fixed term basis aren't amended, students that would currently choose their accommodation in January for the following academic year won't be able to do so until probably May, right in the middle of their exams. So instead of concentrating on their exams, they'll be rushing around, trying to find a suitable place to live. That will cause enormous stress and is completely avoidable. If the plcs like Unite can let to students on a fixed term basis, then why can't private landlords? A large number of universities have already written to the government to demand that students have fixed term tenancies because they can foresee the problems that will be visited on their own students.

  • 4 day week
    Parents can share childcare more frequently so both can contribute and play active roles in attending school and extra curricular activities. Children's medical needs can also be met more easily for single parents. Economical profits will regulate and steady across the board rather than become extra busy on every weekend. Traffic will decrease too rather than build up every Friday for the weekend getaway. Employment levels will increase for organisations that are open for more than 4 days with staff on a 4 day rota. Peak times like Xmas, easter, summer will also regulate for motorists, commuters and superstores as people are able to accomplish more during the week. The nation will be less stressed, finances and relationships will improve. Covid has seen millions of businesses shut down, the public is needed to boost the economy, an extra day off means more time for leisure, dining out and pleasure buying. Let's return Britain to Great Britain

  • St. Mary's Primary school should NOT be on the list of potential closures!
    On the 26th of May 2023 The Isle of Wight Echo and The County Press published a report outlining the prospective closure of St Marys Catholic Primary School Ryde. These reports were published before consultation with St Marys staff or school community. We view these actions as inconsiderate and unnecessary. St Marys Catholic Primary school is very much valued by our school community, parents, pupils and teachers alike. As parents, we are the primary educators of our children and have chosen St Mary’s because it’s values and ethos align with our own. As a church school community these values are of utmost importance to us. The prospect of removing St Mary’s from our community would disallow our children to be educated according to our spiritual beliefs and values. Our children have the right to attend school within their locality and the local secular schools would not educate our children in the values and practices that are so important to our faith. Ryde is a large town and second in population only to Newport and as such, should have our own Catholic provision. As a church maintained school we have contributed the required 10% in funds from our community and diocese, which must be acknowledged by the Local Education Authority. These are funds that the LEA are not required to pay. Our children are happy and settled at St Mary’s Primary School, many families are very much committed to the school and have numerous siblings that attend. As parents we oppose the proposed closure of St Mary’s and demand that we are properly informed and consulted with regarding this prospective closure.

  • Petition against Proposed Spar Development in Smithy Bridge
    Dear Customer We, the undersigned residents, business owners, and concerned members of the community, write this petition to express our strong opposition to the proposed demolition of the existing car sales/garage and the subsequent construction of a SPAR convenience store with an ATM machine, car parking, external lighting, landscaping, and associated works at the proposed site. We firmly believe that the proposed location for the SPAR convenience store is unsuitable for several reasons, which we outline below: Local Traffic Problems: The current traffic situation in the area is already a significant concern. The addition of a convenience store at this location would exacerbate the traffic congestion, resulting in severe disruptions and safety hazards for both pedestrians and motorists. The increased customer and delivery vehicle movements would cause chaos and further burden the already strained road infrastructure. Entrance to Site for Customers and Deliveries: The entrance proposed for customers and deliveries is ill-conceived and inappropriate for the area. The site's access points would create bottlenecks and hinder smooth traffic flow. The resultant congestion would create inconvenience for local residents, obstruct access to neighboring businesses, and compromise road safety. Negative Impact on Local Historic Retail Business: The proposed construction of a large-scale convenience store with a significant range of products and services would have a detrimental impact on the existing local historic retail businesses. These small-scale enterprises are an integral part of our community and contribute to its character and charm. The introduction of a major chain store would threaten their viability and potentially lead to the loss of these beloved establishments. Incompatibility with the Local Environment: The addition of external lighting, extensive landscaping, and associated works would alter the aesthetic and environmental balance of the area. It could disrupt the existing natural beauty and compromise the visual appeal of the neighborhood. The proposed development fails to consider the preservation of the local landscape and disregards the importance of maintaining the character of the community. Therefore, we, the undersigned, request the following actions to be taken: Halt the demolition of the car sales/garage and reconsider the suitability of the proposed site for the SPAR convenience store. Conduct a comprehensive traffic impact assessment to evaluate the potential negative consequences on local traffic patterns, road safety, and the overall well-being of the community. Engage in meaningful consultations with local residents, business owners, and stakeholders to understand their concerns and explore alternative solutions that are more compatible with the area. Preserve and protect the existing historic retail businesses that contribute to the uniqueness of our community. We believe that our concerns are valid and representative of the broader sentiment within the community. By signing this petition, we express our collective opposition to the proposed development and urge you to reconsider the plans for the sake of our community's well-being and the preservation of its character. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We kindly request a prompt response regarding the actions taken in response to our petition. Please give your name, address and the date to show support for this petition.
