• Retain local government-run bus services
    Local authorities are able to provide rural bus services which would not be viable if under private ownership; they can cross subsidise them from more profitable urban services. Local authority bus services must be an option within the Bus Services Bill. In Nottingham, the Nottingham City Transport has invested in electic buses and hydrogen fuelled transport which is reducing air pollution in Nottingham. They are an award-winning service. The private buses are predominantly diesel.

  • Greedy landlords in Peterborough
    Many tenants are being evicted from their housing association houses and forced to rent privately. Most of the tenants are in work and have paid their rent on time. The private sector landlords are asking these tenants to have an guarantor. Where can they find these guarantors? They are not students or are wanting to leave home. These people are finding themselves homeless because of this. Do not volunteer to be a guarantor as the risk becomes all yours, not the landlord or tenants. Landlords can get insurance to cover the possibility of rent arrears but this perk isn't available to guarantors.

  • Bread for refugees.
    For many , many years, over 150, we have been sending corn and wheat to refugees to grind, wet and cook. These tasks require work (by weakened people), water (in short supply, not fit to drink), and collect wood and chop down trees for fires. Now, no trees, no rain.

  • Save 4 Plymouth GP Practices
    These four practices set to be closed are all in the worst off areas of the city. These changes will certainly widen the already huge health inequalities in the city. NHS England say that small practices are "unsustainable" and that there is nothing that can be done to keep them open. This is wrong and based on a "market" view of healthcare. Instead NHSE must work with communities and providers to find innovative ways to keep GP surgeries viable in the areas of greatest need. The decision has been made without the without proper consultation, important decisions such as this should take patients and communities voices into account.

  • Save our "Around Poplar Children's Centre"
    Why we need to save "Around Poplar Children's Centre" - The centre is the hub, bringing together hundreds of parents and providing invaluable services to people of diverse social and economic backgrounds. - The centre has created a friendly, supportive, welcoming environment for parents who can share their concerns, worries and seek guidance from experienced staff - The centre provides not only children play sessions, but vital services such as health assessments, midwifery and psychotherapy, advice on domestic abuse, getting back to work, as well as important workshops on introducing healthy eating and sleeping habits to the youngest members of Tower Hamlet’s community - It is an indispensable resource, helping new mothers beat post-natal depression, loneliness and isolation. - Keeping this centre open will save money by reducing many GP visits. - At this time of unprecedented development and population growth on the isle of dogs, there has never been a greater demand for this facility for new parents in the area. - In fact it is so busy that several times I have been unable to get in because it was so busy. - The staff in the centre, their knowledge and dedication to childcare, supporting parents in bringing up healthy, confident children is second to none As a new mum, with a premature baby girl, the first six weeks were stressful. Then I discovered the Poplar Children Centre, and the caring, knowledgeable and supportive staff who are always on hand with crucial advice and who have made such a difference for me. My baby is now coming up for 14 months old and we visit the centre 3 times a week. We both love the social activities with other babies and mums. The centre has been key in our physical and emotional well being. Meeting other mums at the centre has been an enormous support too, and I have a great sense of belonging to this community of friends. The centre provides facilities that money can’t buy and it is hard to imagine a better alternative.

  • Pedestrian Hazards in Aldeburgh
    With the high proportion of elderly and/or infirm residents, added to the increasing population of mothers with baby carriages, the condition of the pavements in the Leiston Road and Victoria Road areas are extremely poor and liable to cause trips, falls and damage to persons and personal property. In particular the pavement on the east side of Leiston Road from The Drift to Mariners Way and on the south side of Victoria Road from the entrance to Kings field to the junction with Park Road, at the library, are main routes to both the supermarkets, and the town centre for residents of the Plantation estate, especially the supported bungalows.

  • Remove George Osborne's Companion of Honour
    We can no longer credibly hand out rewards for mere post holding. It is neither just,right or proper to present any award to someone who has caused such personal misery to so many people. Neither is it appropriate to reward someone for spiralling debt.

  • Support Lauri Loves request for an appeal against his extradition to America
    It is important because Lauri Love is considered to be a high suicide risk, given his Aspergers Syndrome and related mental health issues, by top AS specialists and by his GP: over 100 MPs recently wrote to President Obama requesting that Love should face any alleged charges in the UK if this us deemed necessary. This vulnerable young man whose extraordinary computer skills are symptomatic of his mental health issues in terms of obssessive behaviours, is likely to become a test case for the new legislation linked to the extradition of UK citizens. This case is likely to progress to the High Court and ultimately the European Court of Human Rights, at considerable cost to the public purse and its impact on the young man's mental health.

  • Keep Carnaby Cat and The Cat - A - Go - Go on air
    The Cat - A - Go - Go is a solely 1960s show on independent radio playing rarities and well known songs only on vinyl. Removal off this programme would mean another loss to music of yesteryear. If this continues to happen, 1960s music would be replaced by nothing but modern sounds. A stand must be made.

  • Immigration data collection
    Experts warn immigration data collection at work could contravene race relations and anti-discrimination laws. Amber's list is divisive;We are asking the Parliament to make any requirement for companies to collect immigration data or disclose the number of foreign workers they employ illegal. “At a time when we need strong links globally to seize new opportunities after the [Brexit] referendum, being seen as open to the best and brightest is vital,” said Josh Hardie, deputy director-general of the CBI of employers' organisation. “Those of us who want a sensible Brexit, who want Britain to remain a beacon of tolerance and who find the denigration of non-British workers appalling have a duty to speak out.”Roland Rudd,Amber Rudd's own Brother.

  • Help charity single get into the charts
    This is to help raise funds for the International Bomber Command Centre. YOUNGSTARS are a group of children from Lincolnshire that have joined together to help raise the funds. The 17 children are age between 8-15yrs old with an average age of 11years old. By buying this single you are helping to make this project a reality. Recognition - Remembrance - Reconciliation are words that sum up the release of ‘Tears of the World’ available Remembrance Day, 11th November. This is certainly a single with a difference, a superbly produced track with a simple but highly emotive message about the harsh realities of war, written by Jim Dooley of 70’s pop group The Dooleys, and sung by a new and young contemporary vocal group, The Youngstars. International Bomber Command Centres project is as followed Step 1 The Spire Memorial At the heart of the International Bomber Command Centre are the Memorial Spire and Walls of Names. Made using Corten weathering steel, the Memorial is 102ft (31.09m) high, the wingspan of the iconic Avro Lancaster bomber, and the width at the base is 16ft (5m), the width of a Lancaster wing. It is now recognised as the UK's tallest war memorial. The Spire was erected in May 2015 and was officially unveiled in October that year. The Walls of Names carry the details of over 58,500 men and women who lost their lives whilst serving or supporting Bomber Command during WW11 (currently 26,296 names are in place, the remainder will be sited in late June 2017) The Spire commands stunning views across Lincoln, with a focus on the ancient Cathedral, which served as a sighting point for crews flying from Lincolnshire. For many of the men named on the walls, the Cathedral provided their last sight of Britain. Step 2 The Chadwick Centre Named in honour of Roy Chadwick, who designed the iconic Lancaster, The Chadwick Centre at the International Bomber Command Centre will tell the collective story of Bomber Command. The centre will include two floors and three galleries telling the story of Bomber Command, including what it was like to serve or support during World War 11, the story of being a civilian manufacturing the planes or being under the raids and finally the story of the struggle those that served had to gain recognition. The exhibitions will include state of the art digital interactive elements, film shows and an opportunity to be a crew member on an Operation. Step 3 Peace Gardens The IBCC will feature two peace gardens set across 5 acres of landscaped grounds. Each offer quiet contemplative space and are free to access. The Lincolnshire Peace Garden includes 27 native trees marking each of the operational Bomber Command stations in the county during the war. Interpretation, both digital and physical will help you to trace the history of each station and the Squadrons that were stationed there. The International Peace Garden will tell the story of the 60 nations who served or supported the Command. Covering 5 continents, the story of their involvement is one that is rarely known. We hope this single will help get the final elements of funding needed.
