During the pandemic many sports activities have been affected, yet swimming is not just a sport, it is a life skill. Many private leisure clubs have been afforded the privilege to offer swimming lessons to children throughout the pandemic, but local council run leisure centres have not. Children have missed out on learning how to swim and how to be safe in and around water. We must place pressure on our local government to allow our children to return to the water so that they can remain safe!!!

Rural homelessness has doubled in the last 2 years and the sharp increase is now greater than in our towns and cities More investment and publicity is needed for rural housing services to reduce these growing figures.

A child could be the only person available to be able to save your life, without any basic knowledge you chances of survival are slim. A small child simply rolling you onto your side, if you are unconscious and vomiting, can give you a better chance of surviving. So many adults don’t know how to react in an emergency, don’t let the same be said for our children.

Every child is unique and they should not be discrimated against for the way they wear there hair or footwear .. as long as there in school uniform and in school nothing else should matter. Children should be free to express there individually without judgement

Abbey Road, Broadley Crescent, and Park Avenue in Louth are in need of more permanent repairs than the Council has been providing, and their concrete bay structure has been crumbling for years. Too often potholes are fixed with temporary repairs that soon break down, causing hazards for road users, and making the roads scarcely usable for drivers that live there. The Council must review its ways of dealing with all road repairs so that they are more permanent and durable, and to make sure it isn't wasting money with fixes that don't last.

Vulnerable asylum seekers in the UK are often placed in ‘squalid’ housing provisions, leaving thousands of refugees no option but to live in damp and dirty homes, as this is their only safety net from homelessness. The appalling conditions and living in these abject conditions can lead to serious health complications, raising serious safeguarding concerns as the country’s treatment of asylum seekers falls under deep scrutiny.

It is extremely important that the conditions some of the most vulnerable people in our society are housed in are improved. Families with children should not have to endure such conditions which have negative impacts on young children’s development. With homelessness increasing every year it is very important that more social housing is built that people on a low income can afford. This is even more important with two million people fearing they won’t be able to find a home after the eviction ban is lifted. Temporary accommodation has become institutionalised and it isn’t sustainable. This must be reversed by building more social housing.

During the pandemic, 700,000 renters were served with Section 21 notices, aka No-Fault Eviction notices. These allow Landlords to evict tenants without a reason at short notice, as opposed to section 8 evictions where a tenant is served on the grounds that they have broken the terms of their tenancy. Thankfully, for much of the pandemic, there has been a much needed ban on evictions, however, since the 1st of June this ban has ended leaving many renters threatened again with losing their home to these unfair evictions. Identifying the housing insecurity Section 21 creates for renters and its link to revenge evictions and rogue landlords. The Government promised in its 2019 Manifesto to abolish No-fault evictions as part of their 'Better deal for renters' pledge. However, no such Bill to this effect has been introduced. While there had been consultations during 2019 for a Renters’ Reform Bill, which includes the abolition of section 21, the government has since stalled excusing their inaction on dealing with the urgency of the pandemic. Now, however, given the cliff edge situation many households face, threatened with homelessness in the midst of a pandemic due to the end of the Covid ban on evictions, there is an urgency for this bill to be passed for the sake of thousands of people unfairly being evicted from their homes. This petition calls on the government to deliver on its campaign promise now! Finally, put an end to one of the leading causes of homelessness. And make renting a secure tenancy option. Renters deserve better, No more excuses! #endsection21 #rentersarewaiting

There was a once an ambulance station located in Reynoldston Gower which responded to 999 calls. This has long gone, and this has left the people of Gower without any ambulance cover. The delays cost lives and the residents DESERVE a safer service. Speaking from personal experience earlier this year, my father suffered with a massive heart attack, we called the emergency services numerous times (over an hour time period) for assistance and on our last call to them we were told by the operator that there was no ambulance coming for him at the moment and if at all possible, to find someone with a car who could take him to hospital ourselves. We managed to get hold of a family member who lives in the city centre of Swansea, and they came to Pennard to assist with transferring my dad from the house to the car in order to take him to hospital. As you can appreciate, his heart attack was so big that if we hadn't of taken this action or, if none of us had a car, or didn't drive, then he could have died. We were so very lucky on this occasion and the service we received in hospital was second to none (Thank you!), but we don't want this to happen to any of our neighbours or families, or friends, just because of where they happen to live at a time where they are at their most vulnerable and in need of emergency/medical, specialist assistance. Please bring back an ambulance to this area, it would be an excellent use of resources.

Our medical records have always been private and confidential and the government are sneaking through a decision to allow our files to bought. Without any notice or consultation and under the proviso of making our care better in the future. They are using the covid crisis as a blanket to cover this story up.

Unless each of us opts out by 23 June 2021, our individual medical records from the time we were born or first registered with a GP practice, are to be extracted by NHS Digital (at the Government's behest) from 1 July 2021. This will include data about your symptoms, diagnoses and physical, and mental health - your private and confidential health data. These data will then be used for planning and possibly for research purposes and potentially sold for financial profit. This includes the summary of conversations you have had with your GP in the understanding that you were speaking in complete privacy. These data should be protected, not shared. I ask you to support the urgent cessation of this data extraction.

First and formost its an issue of health and safety for both staff and where aplicable customers or other members of the public, having to work in a enviroment that is too hot has deleterious effects on people, having a ready supply of cool water helps but is not enough in the height of summer. Added to the fact that people are more productive while comfortable and also excessive heat can damage stock of certain types.
