Many brewers use isinglass, a gelatin made from dried fish bladders, to speed up the fining of their beer. Unfortunately most do not reveal this. They are not required by law to do so. If you are vegan or vegetarian, these beers are not suitable for you. But finding this out is often difficult, or next to impossible. Faced with a choice at a crowded bar, unless the owners are considering this and label them on their chalk boards, and most don't, the situation can get impossible. The bar tender can usually at best try and search on line, only to come up against the same wall and offer their apologies. Is this acceptable? Every other food or drink product has to make its ingredients clear. Alcohol should be no exception. Do you know your beer has been fined down with fish bladders? If you didn't want to accept this, how could you make your choice when the brewers choose not to tell you?

You cannot have the government marking it’s own homework. You cannot have someone in charge of the terms of reference who cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Many 1000s of lives have been lost & the enquiry needs to be truly independent for the public to have any trust in it.

The nearest location for Dry Cleaning for Hook residents now that Trees Newsagent has closed down is either Odiham, Hartley Witney, Chineham or Basingstoke. None of these locations are accessible by foot. A Dry Cleaner that provides dry cleaning and laundry is a vital service in a community such as ours.

People should be aware of what is happening and going on and going to happen about this.

As Cumbria heads into changes to local government with the county and district councils replaced with the new Westmorland and Furness Unitary council. A governance review will help place Penrith and neighbouring communities in a stronger place to represent the focused areas of the communities served as Cumbria head into the new local government structure as part of the Westmorland and Furness council area. Parish Council across the country often find it hard to fill vacancies with people willing to become councillors in the volunteer capacity of the role. Penrith Town council when created had 19 seats across its 6 wards this was reduced to 15 in 2019 after the council had a number of seats unfilled. Since 2019 the council has had to fill vacant seats through co-option to the council and over the last year has seen at a number of meetings less than half of the 15 councillors attending meetings and some meetings forced to be cancelled due to insufficient councillors attending for the meeting to be quorate. It is felt that a smaller more focused Penrith Town council were members are elected to represent all of Penrith rather than just the 6 wards will help make the council more representative and benefit Penrith as a whole while also becoming more agile and accountable to the community of Penrith. Our call for a governance review is not inference of any negative views of the current town council but a view that the changes outlined will help make the council more agile and ready to take on the future for Penrith and work to Unlock the Potential of Penrith.

As a single occupant I struggle with the cost of living and every year the council tax bill goes up by nearly 5% which the wages do not go up by that amount. It would help massively if I only had to pay 50% council tax.

No child should go hungry. No parent should have to choose between eating or heating. How would you feel not knowing when your next meal might be?

Thousands of Ukrainian men, women and children are being slaughtered by Russia while the world watches on TV like an Armageddon horror movie. It is upon all humanity to stop Putin. Adolf Hitler killed Jews in gas chambers and firing squads. Putin is doing the same by bombing and depriving them of food, habitat and every means of supporting life. He must be stopped and NOW!

Psychological injury is invisible. Thousands if not millions of people across the UK are suffering on a daily basis. All we want is to heal, just like anybody from any other injury.

During the 40s 50s and to a lessening degree, the early 60s Middlesbrough was home to 15 cinemas, Eight of those existed within One Square Mile of the town centre ... Today, only two remain standing, both purpose built, both designed by James Forbes. The Elite never did get the two organs for which it was designed, settling instead for one, a Compton 6 Rank Organ which years later, thrilled those ABC Minors as it arose from the ' Depths Of Hell ' From its' opening in 1923 nothing changed until it closed for modernisation in 1964 when, everything changed. Gone was the ornate plasterwork which surrounded the audience with passing passing references to Greek Gods ... Now ( I believe ) hidden behind dropped ceilings and studded walls. Gone is the Art Deco Ballroom and Restaurant ... Gone, the quaint Tea Room of yesteryears. The great Domed Glass Roof remains ... Magnificent, Vast, Cathedral like. In a town which has seen many of its' Heritage Buildings destroyed in the name of progress ... This building which holds memories for the people of Middlesbrough as numerous as the bricks from which she is built must be saved ... For, where else would the ' Ghosts Of Cinema ' play
