Free running has quite a big scene in Horsham and now that the Council has banned it in horsham there is nowhere for them to go

Recently the accidents are more frequent,with some fatalitys.

Students now have to be in education until they are 18 yet there are no transport concessions from age 16. Student railcards are available only for those in full time education yet cannot be used to travel until after 10 am These students pay the same as an adult commuter

I am a wildlife sculptor with a studio in South Devon, which is also between two farms shooting badgers, less than two miles from the popular town of Totnes. Since the badger cull started here just three weeks ago, we have seen a huge dropping off of visitors, including during Devon Open Studios. Licences have been issued to approximately 200 farms in the South Hams to shoot badgers between sundown and 12 noon, every day for a minimum of six weeks, during the region's busy tourism season. Unlike previous years, the farmers themselves are allowed to shoot badgers instead of using trained professionals. There are serious concerns over public safety with two of the five badger culling farms overlooking the busy town of Totnes having previously witnessed a fatal shooting and public order offences involving knives. In 2004 a 13 year old was shot dead in the fields of Lower Cholwell Farm, caused by a gunman failing to follow basic safety guidelines with a high-powered rifle. Several of our busiest beaches are now directly below and well within stray-bullet range of badger culling farms, such as the popular Blackpool Sands, Slapton Ley Nature Reserve, Torcross, Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlstone Beaches. Meanwhile there are at least 5 badger shooting farms around Kingsbridge and the same around Totnes. On Sunday 11th September shooting has been heard directly behind a popular Pub at the edge of Totnes, at 11pm when there were still people drinking outside admiring the view of the river Dart. Even those in Bridgetown are within 2 miles of shooting in Ashprington. If you truly wanted to be safe in Totnes there is nowhere to turn. Official badger culls are also accompanied by a rise in illegal persecution and the South Hams is no exception. In 2013 holiday makers were horrified by the sight of a field strewn with the bodies of gassed badgers overlooking Blackpool sands. These had been paralyzed from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, and will have died a slow and painful death by starvation and thirst. On 11th September this year several poisoned badgers were discovered on Wall Park Road leading to the popular Berry Head Hotel and Country Park, again in clear view of visitors. Rolling out a badger cull here has given a green light to other forms of badger persecution, regardless of its impact on tourism. Anyone who has spent any time at all in West Somerset during the badger culls, knows how toxic those tourist village names have become. I certainly shall never visit Exmoor again as there are things I witnessed there that I shall never forget. Just imagine what will happen if our tourist industry gets tarnished with being a region soaked in badger blood, with visitors afraid to walk the countryside for fear of a stray bullet, or of finding a shot, poisoned or gassed badger. As the tourism industry creates more income and more jobs than the hand full of farms taking part in the South Hams Badger Cull we should not have our jobs, our prosperity, and our personal security held to ransom by just 0.5% who are killing badgers.

Bats are European Protected Species (EPS) due to their decline and vulnerability across Europe; this means they require legal protection that covers individual bats and their roosts. Bat crime is the second most encountered wildlife crime following raptor persecution. Wildlife crime against bats, is often in the form of roost destruction and disturbance, which is not just devastating for the species directly affected at a local level but also for wider conservation efforts. Legislation dictates that any structures or place which a bats use for shelter or protection are protected from damage or destruction whether occupied or not. This legislation has been incorporated into planning policies. This means that planning authorities have a legal obligation to consider whether bats are likely to be affected by a proposed development. They are breaking the Law's in place to build a Leisure centre which is a crime punishable by up to 6 years in prison. Please see below link to the Bat Survey proving Bat activity in the park and area's they fly which is directly where they plan to build: https://publicaccess.barnet.gov.uk/online-applications/files/372770CAD090DE52FC3D178648D0BBE7/pdf/16_6118_FUL-BAT_ACTIVITY_REPORT-3510707.pdf The other proposed site for the Leisure centre - Danegrove playing field: ( A disused field nearby) On the original proposed plans : The site is also currently under-used due as previously highlighted to its topography, poor drainage and the availability of better facilities elsewhere. Danegrove Primary School currently makes use of other recreational space and has indicated that it would have no objections in principle to the site being brought forward for enhanced sports and leisure facilities which it would also be keen to use. So why use a site that is high in Bat activity and other protected species such as Owls, Hedgehogs, Wrens and Robins?

It will show the disparity in earnings between the top and average pay in these organisations at a time when the gap is widening. HMG has put a limit on most peoples pay increases whilst executives are receiving much more, which is taking money away from front line services.

Clunes avenue is a residential are where many children play. A new School campus is only a matter of yards away. Too many cars are travelling at excessive speed on this road. It is only a matter of time before a child is injured or worse. By having traffic calming meaures such as speed bumps and 20 mph limit, this could potentially save a life.

Road Traffic is increasing in both Volume and Speed throughout the Village of Deri. Our intention is to be Proactive and put Preventative Measures in Place to reduce the possible risk of an accident.

Tuition Fees have already been trebled in the last 10 years, does the University really need to increase them even further. This, albeit smaller increase, seems to represent a trend of fees just increasing again and again. The increase of 250 pounds is a 2.8% rise that is supposedly in line with inflation. The Bank of England has predicted inflation to be 2.1% in 2017. So where has the 2.8% figure come from. If the University does not stop with this increase, I think students at least deserve a more in depth explanation as to why this increase is happening and greater transparency in where funding is going. For more explanation into my thoughts see http://lincolnshire.press/content/why-is-the-university-of-lincoln-raising-its-tuition-fees/

At present these cavernous buildings are freezing cold in winter and excessively hot in summer. For staff to be able to work in a comfortable temperature they require lots of heating in winter and cooling in summer. This is a great waste of limited energy resources. Insulating the buildings would cut down the waste and make them more comfortable to work in. Having solar panels on the roof would enable them to generate electricity from an infinite resource, the sun, and cut down their energy footprint.

It's been bubbling in the background for years and having just watched a Panorama episode on iPlayer, I'm feeling quite angry/disappointed in the "establishment" which puts big business / profits ahead of the people. We won against salt, we'll win against sugar, I switched suppliers thanks to 38 degrees ... the list goes on !! I'm now talking about how highly addictive and family-destroying machines allow vulnerable people to spend hundreds or thousands of points in a few minutes ... money that haven't got! Surely this should be better controlled?? Eg far lowed maximum caps, make it harder to borrow money from these places just to lose at gambling, etc etc. "Lots has been done" and "We are doing a lot" - just pointless words while peoples live are ruined. I was almost hooked when I was younger, because my friends were gamblers in their teens. That was then and I now have teenage children of my own and it is SO EASY to get trapped. I'm hope I'm not alone in this - it just seems so selfish of these businesses.
