We feel this closure of our community care beds is detrimental to the well being and health of our aged population.Whilst we agree in theory to the strategy of 'My care,My way,home first',we have grave doubts as to the feasability to be able to achieve this safely with the current lack of community and social care provisions available.

In 2015 the former Sorting Office on Cattle Market Road, derelict for 18 years and long considered an eyesore, was acquired by Bristol City Council for an estimated £5.4 million. The Council has budgeted up to £2m for the Sorting Office's demolition with “The aspiration...to develop a high quality commercially led, high density mixed use development that re‐imagines this high profile, strategically significant site…”. The public ownership of the iconic former Sorting Office makes it a community asset and affords Bristol a unique opportunity to pursue a development which meets the needs and aspirations of the people of Bristol. By replacing 'commercially led' with 'community led', the site could become a vision worthy of our city, meeting Bristol’s needs as defined not by commercial boundaries alone, but by the community who own it. What kind of developments on this high profile city centre site could really serve the communities of Bristol? Do we need to knock down the building - and spend £2million doing so? Does the site need yet another vacant area of rubble, waiting for commercial interests to redevelop it, like at least five other currently empty sites in the Enterprise Zone have so far failed to do? Rather than commercially-led overpriced flats, half-empty office blocks, and national chain stores; could we see community-led council housing, food production and eating, local shops and makers, learning centres, social enterprise, reuse of resources, renewable energy, sustainable transport, art and performance, beautiful spaces and more? If the people were given a voice in the area’s development, what would we envision? So far, public involvement in determining the future of this publicly owned building and site has been practically non-existent. The council have only consulted on a ‘Spatial Framework’’ for the totality of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, and there has never been a full public consultation on plans for the Cattle Market site itself. As a public asset, shouldn’t we, the community, lead its future? A genuine process of engagement, involvement and collaboration with the city’s residents, community stakeholders, progressive thinkers and academics, would result in a creative, pioneering and shared vision - truly representative of both the progressive nature of our city and its needs. We the undersigned therefore demand that Bristol City Council call a halt to current plans to demolish the Sorting Office, and hold a transparent, participatory and collaborative consultation in order to create a shared, community-led vision for the future of the Cattle Market site, which meets the needs and aspirations of the people of the city. #BristolGetItSorted

Growing up in the Philippines in the '80s, me and thousands of other Filipino fans, and, for sure millions more all over the world who didn't grow up in the UK never had a chance to see them live. Since all members of the band are still active today doing their own solo performances, I would like to make a petition for them to make The Smiths fans happy and do a one-off worldwide tour. So, please, please, please, let us get what we want this time. Thank you very much.

In the U.K. we rely on these guys to enrich our Christmas Holidays. Failing to produce a thick segmented 175g Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas is like... Punch without Judy, Barry without Paul, Ant without Dec, a roast without Yorkshires Christmas is ruined! Furthermore, to be ensure we're not stingy with our TCO's we're now going to have to buy double. So not only are we bereft of Chocolate but now we're out of pocket! Thanks a bunch Terry's!

I have recently started year 8 and am feeling under a lot of pressure to do homework, I have been set glossary pages, languages, projects many other tasks to do all at once and am falling behind fast. At high school I'll have 3-4 lessons and each lesson I'll have a piece of homework due the next week, this adds up. Many times I've found that a homework task has to be sent in the next day and I won't get to sleep until past 10 at night. Evidence to support this petition: *Many children lose hours of sleep, which are vital for concentration in class and healthy development. *There is less time for children to play/ hang out together and have fun, this includes precious family time. *Some children suffer from anxiety and even if they don't some children get very stressed. *There is scientific evidence that too much homework can also lead to depression.

The pier was opened in 1881 and the pier train is in the Guinness Book of Records as 'the oldest working pier train in the world'. It provides a vital link between Hythe and Southampton and is a part of our history and heritage. The community led campaign encourages increased use of our waterways and in turn, this will help to reduce traffic congestion on our roads into the city and pollution levels both sides of the water.

Shotley Bridge Community Hospital serves tens of thousands of people in North West Durham The nearest main hospital is 13 to 14 miles away, and this regional facility, which was once a huge teaching hospital, though now reduced, to a shadow of its former operation is, nevertheless, a lifeline to many residents in this vast area of County Durham. The facility is very well used by people from all over the area, and acts as an overspill for the main hospitals within this North East area..The Facilities it offers include: Ophthalmic care, provided by the RVI in Newcastle. Audiology - X-Ray - Endoscopy & Colposcopy - Oncology - Diabetic - Podiatry - Physiotherapy - Day Surgery - Out of Hours - General out-Patient - and Minor injuries - Units and facilities are provided by University Hospital Durham and other Hospitals such as Darlington ...It would be too great a loss, for the people of this area, and to lose it, would engender great hardship for many!.. It would also increase waiting lists and times, in the main hospitals, which are already overstretched….The extra cost and burden, which would be imposed upon the health service, would most assuredly, prove to be cataclysmic!... It is up to all of us, to fight this purported closure... Indeed, for the sake of the sale, of a piece of land, on which a few houses would eventually be built!... A whole community, is going to be made to suffer, and that, is neither justifiable, nor right!....... Please fight to retain Shotley Bridge Community Hospital!...... The area, and the people in it, will surely be, much the worse, for the demise of this excellent facility!...To lose it, is too big a price to pay, for too many peo

The basis for demolition rests on the poor structural condition of the church, particularly the tower. The Historic Environment comments accompanying last year's pre-application for demolition confirmed that the building has some cracking but, a recommendation by the structural engineers to monitor the cracks had not been carried out. While stone work, in particular the east end shows some sign of delineation, the Historic England Stone Expert, regarded it not to be the worst case he has seen. The Council's response was that a proposal to demolish the listed church would not be supported on the basis of the incomplete nature of the information and evidence pertaining to its structural condition and the nature and extent of any processes that have or are occurring on site and within the structure. As no additional information has been submitted with the current pre-application we conclude that insufficient information and evidence has been provided to outweigh the substantial harm that would result from the loss of the designated heritage asset and, as such, the demolition cannot be supported. St Paul's church (1848) was extended by J D Sedding in the 1880s in the Perpendicular style using dressed coursed local stone with granite and Polyphant stone dressings; scantle slate and dry Delabole slate roofs with coped gable ends. The church has a six bay aisled nave, south porch at west end. Two bay chancel with organ chamber north of choir, chapel north of sanctuary, tower south of choir, vestry south of sanctuary, brick vaulted crypt underneath the east end. The three-stage embattled tower with angle buttresses has corner statues of Sir Richard Grenville, Sir John Elliott and Bishop Trelawney; three niches (with two carved statues surviving of Christ and St George, St Paul has been removed) to second-stage. Peter Beacham says in the new Pevsner guide (2014) 'the exterior is highly accomplished'. The interior is more modest with six-bay aisles having granite piers with four-centred arches to the north side and round arches to the south. There is some good detailing. The fixtures includes works by the workshops of Robinson of London, and stained glass by Laver, Barraud & Westlake which includes a seven light 'Te Deum' east window in memory of the Mayor of Truro, Sir Philip Protheroe Smith, who died in 1882. It is believed that the stone pulpit to the south side beneath the tower arch came from St Clement's Church and is C15. The oak pulpit has blind ogee tracery and was given to the church in 1901 in memory of Lady Protheroe Smith. The building has a rich history. William Mansell Tweedy, a local banker, paid for the building of St Paul's Church circa 1848 as an overflow church for the parish of St Clements. The architect for the original church is unknown but it consisted of a nave, chancel, south aisle and south porch. In 1864 the church was consecrated and acquired its own parish. In the early 1880s a major programme of extension was undertaken by J. D. Sedding. He replaced the single bay chancel with a much larger structure which included an organ chamber and a chapel, dedicated top St Clement, to the north and a chapel (now the vestry) and the tower to the south. The new work by J. D. Sedding was consecrated in 1884 by Bishop Wilkinson. In 1889 the north aisle, which was probably by Sedding, was completed and the church was re-opened on 27th June 1889. The battlemented tower was completed in 1910 by the architect's nephew E. H. Sedding.

Many of these cash machines that charge a fee for withdrawing money are in deprived neighbourhoods where they may not have much money available and this is compounded by being charged a payment for the simple act of accessing their money in physical form. Banning these types of cash machine will improve the local and wider economies for providing a little more money for individuals that they are currently being charged. The charge fees are immoral and are detrimental for individuals and businesses. Charging a fee for withdrawing money from a cash machine should be made illegal.

Many, if not most, of the animals sold on Gumtree are from unscrupulous pet farms. Many of the animals are inter breed, which leads to whole host of health problems.Also , these pets are often kept in isolation, being fed by suppling food from a series of drain pipes. The only motive for these sellers is money. If we can't legislate against this, then please a least share so that NOBODY buys their pet from Gumtree

To keep everyone safe while out riding be it horse rider & horse or car & people either way we must stand up and fight for what is right!

Immigration increases the UK's wealth. Immigrants (especially from the EU) don't sponge off the UK state benefits. Employment rates for immigrants are higher than for UK nationals. They come here to work and as a result are net contributors as tax payers. BUT - they don't take jobs from UK nationals. Employment among UK nationals is rising not falling. Nor do immigrants push down wages, as is claimed. The University of London has found no link between the number of immigrants coming into an area and whether average wages rise or fall in those areas. This is still true when looking at low-skill jobs only. It made no difference to the wages in low-skilled jobs whether there was high or low immigration into an area. Other research has found that the falls in the real value of wages experienced across many industry sectors are in fact largely due to the general economic and financial conditions and not to immigration. In fact immigrants are so good for the UK that they can make the difference between the country being able to manage the national debt and failing to do so in the long term. Over the next 50 years, our national debt, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility is expected to rise from the current 80% of Gross Domestic Product to just under 90% of GDP. If we limit immigration it ends up nearer 110% of GDP. If we encourage immigration it falls to 70% of GDP. So, if immigration is good for the country, we should encourage it not continue to spread myths about it that pander to prejudices.
