Inverleith House, in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, has been a much-loved and deeply valued public arts space in Edinburgh for well over half a century, first as the home of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, then under the management of the Royal Botanic Garden itself. Given the importance of the gallery as an iconic location in Edinburgh, and a much-loved space both for the people of the city and for international visitors, it seems outrageous that the RBGE management should seek to close it at just a few days' notice, and without public consultation, apparently with a view to exploiting it for more commercially rewarding purposes. Yet the amount of public money invested in maintaining the house as a gallery over the years raises questions about whether the RBG management have any moral right to close it to the public in this way, or have any idea of the sense of loss that will be felt by tens of thousands of people, in Edinburgh and far beyond, who - because of the gallery's unique location - may in some cases have had their first-ever experience of modern art in these beautiful rooms. It is difficult to imagine any more appropriate use for this beautiful historic building than the one it has enjoyed over the past half century; and this petition asks all the key bodies involved - the Board and management of the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, Creative Scotland, Edinburgh City Council, Visit Scotland, and others - to come together, as a matter of urgency, to ensure that this beautiful building remains open to the public as an arts space and gallery, for the foreseeable future.

Newtown Powys is having a bypass built and the Roberts family have had their home BLIGHTED due to how close the bypass will be once it's built. The property has not been valued correctly and has led to it being undervalued and a very poor settlement being offer. (The family have got an independent local company to value it and it shows that the land agents valuation is extremely low) The family are not asking for anything other than a true valuation of the home. All they are asking is to be treated fair.

The fundamental mistake made by planners, at all levels, is that they assume that residential accommodation is automatically, a house. There is so much empty office space in all towns, large and small, which, if handed over to be used for residential use, would provide so much housing, usually without too much work required. Some towns are doing this, but it needs to be a national scheme. This, more often than not, is in town centres and if empty buildings could be converted for housing, thousands of people would become residents of towns that often need reviving. The residents would not need to commute by car to work, would use shops in the towns and contribute to the towns` economies as well as the Local Authorities through Council Tax.

This is important because I have had my pension delayed until I am 66. I now find being English I have to wait yet again until I am 66...

£10 pounds is the minimum amount for a ticket (as set out in the F.A rules),and as the opposition is a non league club ,coupled with the fact that the middle & upper tiers of the tile choice stand will be closed,thus denying season ticket holders in these stands the right to their seats,it seems a logical option to lower the admission price for this match ,and get more fans through the turnstiles

Visitors car park are for visitors only and staff car parks are for staff only- therefore residents car parks should be for residents only. If there are not enough spaces provided for staff, more spaces need to be provided. Resident car parks should not be used as an over fill.

Grocery shopping with small children is never a fun job, nor anyone's first choice of outing with the children! However, shopping trolleys at budget supermarkets tend not to have the clip child safety restraints to deter little ones from standing up in the seat, or worse, falling from that height onto a solid concrete floor. If all supermarkets were to have appropriate and approved child safety belts, it would prevent numerous injuries and increase parental peace of mind.

The last thing people need to worry about when attending a hospital emergency or appointment is if they can pay for parking! Due to the current charges, parking in nearby streets is causing a danger to other road users and residents.

A major contributing factor in my brothers death , who was cut down by a massive fatal heart attack There are so many modern medicines being prescribed and too few people realise what it is they are taking, This must stop. A clear understanding of the after effects should be explained, informing the patient of the choice

It is important in society to be independent, be able to work and pay taxes and to support the system that we depend on. To then isolate people that cannot afford own transport how do we cope? Senior Citizens will not be so motivated or stimulated so this can create many health issues. Young people cannot get to work or college this creates a bleak future. Social life becomes zero without transport.

To ensure road safety and competent compliant drivers. To bring in revenue to Government and also hopefully to reduce insurance premiums to the driver.

Can you imagine being raped? I was assaulted once when I was a teenager. Not raped, but they groped me and threatened me with violence should I continue to fight them. The rage I felt then of being powerless and being subjected to that violation has stayed with me for over 20 years. Imagine if they had raped me and then when it went to court, the lawyers decided that it was relevant to talk about my sexual history however colourful or not it was. Does that sound right to you? What happened to me was without my consent, I said I didn’t want to be touched. But they did it anyway. Whether or not I’d had sex an hour before, whether or not I’d go on to have a threesome days later, does not change the fact that what happened was wrong. If you’re raped, your sexual history is irrelevant and should never be used as evidence to prove a rape. There’s a good article in The Guardian which has driven me to start this campaign, (written by a lawyer): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/17/courts-judge-rape-sexual-history-ched-evans-case. If you agree with this, sign this petition: consent is key in rape trials, sexual history is not.
