The reason I thinks it's important is because the people who lost their jobs in BHS could be re employed for primark. Also we love primark.

The health issues/concerns of emissions from mobile phone masts are well recorded. 4g mobile masts/antennas have even more powerful transmissions of microwave radiation. The proposed placement of this mast so close to residential property and children's playing field is of serious concern to local residents. Also the the size of these floodlights and mast would be a blot on the greenbelt land and an eyesore for residents living opposite.

Dropped kerbs make a huge difference to my life and those of other disabled individuals where they are available but this availability is patchy at best with individual roads often having them only in some spots but not in others rendering overall access little better than if there were none at all. Dropped kerbs affect individuals who use crutches or walking sticks or frames or wheelchairs or mobility scooters and also affect parents with prams too so they matter to a considerable section of the community. Dropped kerbs need to be protected from careless parking by means of double yellow lines or they may be rendered useless even where they are otherwise available and these need to be rigidly enforced too. This amenity is particularly important in relation to buildings where disabled access is a necessity yet, taking my local hospital as an example, outside that complex there is no dropped kerb and an over eight inch drop to the road from the pavement. This is a far from uncommon experience and highlights the need for fresh action to put these matters right. Disabled people struggle enough to get around as it is without making this any more difficult thanks to the patchy and ill thought through provision of dropped kerbs that we currently have. Central government action and matching funding is needed as well as local government action to put the work into place.

We have a local clinic which used to be used for all sorts of things such as physiotherapy, baby clinic, many other uses but most importantly as a warfarin clinic. Warfarin patients are overwhelmingly at the older end of the spectrum and can find it more difficult to get about. The new arrangement is in the next village, Kippax, has insufficient parking and can only be accessed by bus for some people. The excuse is that our building is unfit for purpose (it has been neglected for years but is still sound) and necessitates additional travel by the professionals. We started the campaign for Norma & Joyce. Norma is 90, 91 in December a very independent lady who doesn't like to ask for help. Her husband Charlie 88 was starting with dementia had a fall in October last year & fractured his hip. They will have been married 70 years in December & for the first time in 69 years it meant they were apart for over five weeks whilst he was in hospital & rehabilitation. Up until recently Norma was attending the warfarin clinic every two weeks sometimes weekly. With Charlie having dementia Norma can't be trailing to Kippax on the bus risking being away from home for long periods of time. When she attended the warfarin clinic at Garforth she would get the bus to Main Street then walk to the Clinic, she was in & out within 10 minutes. Two friends now take it in turns to take her to Kippax although Norma wouldn't ask. Friends have to make sure they ask Norma when her appointments are so she isn't away from home too long. Joyce unfortunately was taken off her warfarin & had massive stroke & died but when she was attending Garforth clinic she could make her own way there. When the warfarin clinic moved to Kippax Joyce became stressed & her levels became erratic & difficult to control. Her daughter used to have to take time off work to take her or if she wasn't able to our Neighbourhood Elders' Team would arrange for transport. Elderly people shouldn't have to be made to feel the way Joyce was made to feel. The NHS claims to want to keep people in their own homes & as independent as possible yet is taking away one of the major means for them remaining independent. Having a clinic in Garforth meant elderly & disabled people could be independent by attending under their own steam. Many could go on scooters or use walkers & take a steady walk, they can't walk to Kippax. Another lady has epilepsy and attended Garforth Clinic for physiotherapy & in the past counselling. Many people in Garforth know her & know if she has a seizure she will come round & be fine but, when she's out of the area, ambulances have been called & she's ended up being taken to A & E when there's no need. She wasn't even offered Kippax when she was referred for her most recent physiotherapy yet we had been told we could access the same services as Garforth Clinic had offered. They offered her Meanwood, Middleton, Pudsey, Whetherby & Wharfedale, right across the other side of Leeds, a large, busy city. We've had people attending Kippax who've been turned away as they cannot cope with the number of patients. One patient attended physiotherapy, checked in with the receptionist half an hour prior to her appointment, waited over an hour, then was told the physiotherapist wasn't there. These are only a small sample of the disruption, stress and inconvenience caused by this ill thought out decision. We have fought it but feel powerless in the face of such a huge organisation making a corporate decision with finance seeming to be the driving factor, not the wellbeing of the users of the service.

It is another, very sorry state of affairs, that yet another NHS surgery, is being forced to close down, due to rising rents, NHS cutbacks and-frankly-a total disregard for the welfare of thousands of patients and their RIGHTS to expect and receive consultation(s), treatment(s) and professional care, from our GP's. So, Our practice is being forced to close, in March 2017, so that all of its patients shall have no other option but go 'elsewhere' to register with another surgery. As you are all, likely aware, a Doctor/Patient relationship is dependent on trust and familiarity. Doubtless, this relationship shall be compromised-particularly to the many of older and/or those with more serious ongoing conditions. Furthermore, the dread of such serious change might actually have a detrimental effect on some patients' already fragile health. At the very least, chaos bodes. Please ask yourselves this question: with yet another closure, where can the patients go? Surgeries are already at bursting point and the Government seems bent on privatisation, which means that ANYBODY who depends on their local surgery is at risk of substandard health care and therefore, deteriorating conditions, BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSING THE ONE PLACE WHICH PATIENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON. Two years ago, I had extremely serious health problems. Had it not been for the NHS, I would have died. My Doctor, at surgery, was immeasurably important in galvanising the correct treatment and/or medication, so vital in turning the illnesses around. Not once but three times. In short, were it not for my GP's locale and readiness to accept the critical treatments needed, I would have died. So, how many more like examples of the necessity of local surgeries are there? If it is something you cannot associate with yourself, then-BET YOUR LIFE-you know somebody that it has happened to. Therefore, I am urging you all, for the well being of yourself, your families, friends and those who desperately NEED your wonderful surgery, please sign this petition to stop the closure at Union Row. Furthermore, I urge you to focus on not only your health but that of the NHS itself. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PASS YOU BY. ONE DAY, WE SHALL ALL NEED THE NHS.

Because 1. Buying Hinkley Point is a colossal mistake 2. Mrs May inherited the project from Osborne & Cameron, keen to develop Chinese trade, 3. but now finds it politically embarrassing to back out of this very bad deal Consequently, we need to inform the public 1. why the deal is bad 2. that there are better alternatives and 3. the Chinese and French can be placated while serving British interests Why is Hinkley Point such a bad deal? 1. It is far too expensive 2. There are undeclared costs associated with the nuclear legacy which make nonsense of published costs – we will have to look after the abandoned reactors and radioactive waste for centuries and nobody knows how to do it or cares how much it will cost 3. There is a huge risk of failure – no such reactor has yet been completed and the ones started (Finland 2005, France 2007) are unfinished, in deep technical trouble and seriously (by billions each) over budget 4. The risks are ultimately borne by us, not the French contractors or Chinese financiers – the project is too big to be allowed to fail by the Government of the day (not Mrs May) 5. Nuclear technology is in any case the wrong choice for filling our anticipated supply gap: nuclear energy gets more expensive as new ideas to improve safety are incorporated in the design; in contrast other well established methods of electricity generation such as gas or coal-fired turbines and particularly offshore wind and solar energy get cheaper by the day owing to accumulating experience and rapid technical development 6.IF it has to be nuclear, the Hinkley Point reactors are too big (small modular reactors can be built instead as needed, at a fraction of the cost and in much less time) and probably also the wrong technology (a debatable, but only secondary, point) Why is the Government pursuing it? The above problems with the Hinkley project are well known to Mrs May and her advisers, but 1. Mrs May inherited it from Messrs Cameron & Osborne, who promoted it mainly in order to develop tempting business relations with China. 2. Brexit makes such relations even more important as proof of GBplc's viability outside the EU Are there any alternatives? Technical alternatives are set out above, but how to meet the political and commercial imperatives? We must persuade the public, and thus influence the Government, to 1. Abandon Hinkley even at this late stage and with possible compensation costs and offer the Chinese and French Governments partnerships in implementing the chosen technical alternative (the Chinese are leaders in solar cell development and production and both the French and Chinese may be interested in offshore developments, small reactors and advanced research). 2. Maximise the benefits to UKplc by ensuring that a good share of work is retained (for example involving UK contractors and Rolls-Royce if small modular nuclear plants form part of the chosen technical mix).

In 2014, the Imperial War Museum privatised its visitor & security services. the company they appointed (Shields Guarding) had no experience in running museums and the results have been catastrophic impacting on workers, the services delivered to visitors and the care of collections. Workers have endured two years of mismanagement, as well as payroll and pension administration problems. The original contractor, Shield Guarding, has now gone bust and has been taken over by multinational Noonans. They also have no experience in managing museums and are focusing on cutting jobs for profit rather than improving services. Workers & the PCS Union have raised numerous Health & Safety concerns that go ignored. It is now an urgent for the Imperial War Museum to end privatisation. PCS members have raised alarming concerns about security and safety arrangements at the museum as a result of cost-cutting and the potential for a major incident to take place. The PCS culture group supports the call for a review of privatisations in the sector and for these contracts, like at the National Gallery, the British Museum or Tate, to be brought back in-house.

Many European countries, with more space than the UK, build parking under squares, hospitals and public buildings, while we do not - preferring to take up valuable space with multi-storey monstrosities. Huge centralised hospitals, with large catchment areas, are becoming the norm, necessitating the use of private transport for a great many, yet there is never enough parking for day patients, staff and visitors.

My husband was made disabled by a surgeon in November. We privately rent our two bedroom house and it was fine until he became disabled. We have been put on the housing list but there are no suitable properties. We have told we are entitled to a 3 bedroom council property but there are non available. We currently are only ellagable for housing benefit for a two bedroom house which leaves us locked in our current property. Despite needing to move on medical grounds we are not allowed to apply for 3 bed housing benefit meaning we can't look to rent privately. We have an indefinite wait on the list. I am still sharing a room with our 18 month old son. My husband can't access any parts of the house besides his bedroom and the bathroom. It is having a negative effect on our mental and physical well being.

People who are refugees are people and deserve dignity, respect and support to maintain the basic human needs of having adequate shelter.

We have one of the best bus systems in Europe. Why do we need to spend more money on a tram system that is not required. This is a vanity project and they should hold a referendum on whether or not the people want it.

Lives are at risk by not letting people donate who can donate. Every drop counts, even if it extends a life by just a few years. When a couple is together for a year, they can get a aids test done and let that result be the green or red light for donations. There is a higher risk in heterosexual couples who participate in "dogging" , if blood stocks are that low as they claim it is, every drop of blood counts. If this works then another campaign can be tagged on this one to allow people donating after ten years after the transfusion date. The symptoms should show by then to proof you have it or not.
