• Domicilary care weekly covid tests for carers on site
    We are on the frontline looking after the most vulnerable in their own homes so we are exposed to a higher risk of contracting covid 19 and spreading it around to service users currently only care homes are able to access weekly testing for there staff and it’s simply not good enough carers in the community are at just as much if not higher risk and should be able to get a test weekly without having to keep booking online to get checked tests need to be rolled out to care agencies to allow them to maintain a safe working environment for service users and carers alike

  • New Skatepark in Witham St Hughs
    A skate facility can be a catalyst for healthy community life in which young an old socialise, have fun, develop new skills, make new friends, hang out and much more. A skate park also shows that our community is interested in helping an underserved artistic community. A Skate park would provide a safe and fun creative outlet for our community. They require little maintenance and can be a great source of athleticism and exercise. Some of the benefits of building a skatepark in the community are: 1. SKATEPARKS REDUCE ILLICIT BEHAVIOR 2. SKATEPARKS PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR SKATEBOARDING 3. SKATEPARKS REDUCE DAMAGE TO PRIVATE PROPERTY 4. SKATEBOARDING HAS SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL HEALTH BENEFIT 5. SKATEBOARDING HAS SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS 6. SKATEPARKS HAVE A POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT

  • Slow down for Crossmichael
    Speed limit reduction markers are currently set close to the start of the village in both North and South directions. Vehicles entering and leaving the village are travelling at speed right up to the village boundaries. Properties which are just outside the restricted speed zones have little or no street lighting, and verges which are not maintained by the council. Pedestrians walking into the village are very vulnerable, having to walk on the road as there are no footpath provisions. The A713 is used by some very large haulage vehicles, calming the traffic further out from the village boundaries would also reduce some noise and vibration caused by the heavy goods vehicles.

  • An extra penny
    The NHS and Carers ( both professional and family members ) require extra funding not only for a much needed increase to provide extra staffing but also to fund the cost of improving wages and salaries of front line workers.

  • Creech Pothole Watch
    We have also had the recent destruction of our local lanes at Leighton Lane, Easton Lane, Bagborough Lane and Maesdown Hill, affecting the communities of Evercreech, Stoney Stratton, Pylle, Prestleigh, Pilton and beyond. Please also sign my petition below, lets get this issue sorted! In I agree that the state of our communities roads is unacceptable and that Somerset County Council has h failed o maintain and renew our vital B road network, drains and our verges. This has been made even worse since recent works on Prestleigh Hill 1. I therefore urge County to listen to residents and prioritize roads used by local communities and put on place a proper resurfacing plan that will connect villages and value villages as much as our county A roads. 2. A proper plan to make good the damage done in and around the Village of Evercreech through the many road diversions and the unique pressure out on out B road network due to our proximity to two festival sites that attract thousands of vital visitors on roads designed in the age before the modern motorcar. Decent local Roads are vital for Residents, Local Business and Farmers.

  • Domestic violence offenders register
    This is important because whilst there is Claire’s law for people to check this requires information which sometimes isn’t accessible such as previous address from people who have committed crimes. I personally have been in a domestically violent relationship and had there been a more easier way to check then things may not have escalated as far as they did. The information wasn’t easily available to me and I fear other people like myself have struggled to get valuable information that could’ve saved them from harm or potentially reduced it. It’s sad we live in a place where an offender can lie about what happened in a previous relationship and make out that their victim was actually the one at fault, why should their crime disappear from their life as soon as it’s been through court, their police record is private to them unless they wish to share it. This was anyone can view what they have done and have better awareness for themselves, their children, their family and protect themselves with the information that should be accessible!

  • Covid-19: Prohibit supermarkets from using Plastic Bags in delivery and collection services
    Since the first UK lockdown, competition laws were relaxed by the government, waiving the 5p bag fee for online deliveries and collection. That has led to supermarkets using hundreds of thousands of plastic bags against the wishes of consumers. Over several decades leading up to 2020, the UK has worked to reduce waste from single-use disposable objects such as straws, utensils, coffee cups, beverage bottles and plastic bags. Possibly the most encouraging shift we witnessed, was the change in social norms around plastic waste; habitually taking our reusable bags to the supermarkets. Through the recent rule changes, all of the good work we were doing, collectively, as a nation, will have been for nothing; the good habits we got into, will be undone. We are at a pivotal moment in terms of plastic pollution. With the mounting piles of used single-use face masks, gloves and other protective equipment, we need to prevent Covid-19 actually becoming a pandemic of plastic pollution, and the government can help by eliminating unnecessary plastic bags.

  • Put a lid on your kid
    As the government want to encourage more people to cycle, I would like to make cycle helmets compulsory for children, not fashionable I know that ...but 34 years ago my brother cycled up the little street we lived in and toppled off his bike, bumped his head, no speed no injuries to see, but his brain swelled lungs collapsed and a heart attack followed, 7 years old, he was buried 2 weeks later. Helmets didn't exist in normal life then, they do now please make it law

  • Girl Footballers to earn the same amount of money as boy footballers!
    The players allege they have been subject to ongoing institutionalised gender discrimination, including unequal pay, despite having the same job responsibilities as the men's national players. The women's team have won the world cup, they have the superstars, they are the drivers of football in their country. The global gender wage gap overall sees women earning 63% of what men earn. Women’s bodies can do a lot more than we give them credit for. Most of what society thinks women’s bodies can do is based on fairly arbitrary speculation by men. Until 1972, women were not allowed to run marathons because they were thought to be too frail!
