Community Hospitals provide health and medical services such as minor injuries departments and hospital beds for those well enough to be released from General Hospitals but still too sick to return to their own homes. These hospitals act as intermediaries, providing care for some of the most vulnerable people in south devon in particular the old and infirm. Beds in community hospitals mean General Hospitals are able to move recovering patients enabling them to treat more critical patients. Losing these beds will only serve to bed block General Hospitals, such as Torbay, Exeter & Plymouth, leading to poorer service. When it comes to Medical treatment this can be the difference in providing outstanding care (saving lives), or being prevented from treating the sick or injured (resulting in preventable deaths and suffering). My understanding is that Bovey Tracey Community Hospital has been temporarily closed for some time now, and unless action is taken now, it will be made permanent under these proposals.

In June, the Greater Cambridge area voted clearly to stay in the European Union. The European Union is essential to Cambridge's economy.

The ancient legal principle that the Government is not above the law is being flouted by the DWP's implementation of benefits sanctions. David had his benefits repeatedly sanctioned by Jobcentre Plus officials. This resulted in him being unable to control his diabetes because he had no money for food. This caused diabetic ulcers. These became infected and he had to have a leg amputated. All these sanctions were eventually overturned, but it was too late. Other cases of illegal benefits sanctions we are fighting include claimants with learning disabilities, mental health problems and physical impairments having their benefits stopped for being unable to get to totally unsuitable appointments. The imposition of unachievable requirements by the DWP, and then the removal of benefits for being unable to meet such requirements, breaches the Equality Act and a set of legal principles governing the way public bodies should behave called Public Law. We support over 500 people to get benefits reinstated each year. Last year we recovered £507,393 for claimants. Help fight back against the destruction of the social security system fought for by our ancestors. We are also interested in launching a class action class action so if you have been affected by illegal benefit sanctions, please get in touch with us at [email protected].

Community Hospitals provide health and medical services such as minor injuries departments and hospital beds for those well enough to be released from General Hospitals but still too sick to return to their own homes. These hospitals act as intermediaries, providing care for some of the most vulnerable people in south devon in particular the old and infirm. In particular patients who would have used Ashburton & Buckfastleigh Community Hospital will be put into Totnes Community Hospital instead. This is farther from home, there is no public transport links, and therefore will only cost more money to non-emergency patient transport services. Beds in community hospitals mean General Hospitals are able to move recovering patients enabling them to treat more critical patients. Losing these beds will only serve to bed block General Hospitals, such as Torbay, leading to poorer service. When it comes to Medical treatment this can be the difference in providing outstanding care (saving lives), or being prevented from treating the sick or injured (resulting in preventable deaths and suffering).

Hatton Garden is the centre of the UK's diamond trade with over 300 businesses and 30 local shops, it has carried a long tradition of craft skills since the 19th century. But unfortunately the Landlords of several workshops have joined together and decided this December they'll be raising the rent to unaffordable levels. There are several workshops in Hatton Garden who practice a craft that is dying out, there is little interest to be had by a younger generation but the workshops still offer apprenticeships to pass down the skills and craft necessary. Many of these workshops have been informed by their landlords that on December 2016 their rent will be going up from £7,000 per month to £14,000! An unbelievable hike in rent which sadly will see the demise of many of these workshops, as many of the crafts people are old and haven't the time or money to find a new area to relocate to. I believe it is a wonderful thing that you need a ring polished or a diamond to be set, a ring to be fixed or resized or to commission an engraving as a gift, you only have to travel to Hatton Garden and visit several workshops to get what you want done. However, if plans go ahead, next year you'll be looking at those workshops closed and replaced with more student housing and luxury apartment accommodation, whilst the majority of the workshops will just disappear and alongside them an entire trade. Hatton Garden, with it's rich historic tapestry blending monarchy, religion, trade, craft and culture, is a bleeding heart worth saving. E-mail Tulip Siddiq, Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan, we have until December before the rent hike, hopefully this can help. http://www.tulipsiddiq.com/contact-me/ http://www.keirstarmer.com/contact-me http://www.sadiqkhan.org.uk/get_help A brief insight to this story was reported in August and can be read below: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/hatton-garden-jewellery-district-faces-extinction-over-crossrail-rent-rises-a3321216.html

The train company is not being discouraged from providing a poor and costly service, as passengers like myself, are too exhausted to go through the laborious procedure of trying to get compensation, after a long tiring journey. Virgin hold onto this money, are not incentivised to invest and improve the service, which leads to continued misery for passengers.

There is mental health funding in Birmingham and Walsall that is meant to provide advocates to those that struggle and need assistance or prompting to be able to live independently with mental health day to day. This support helps people to get outside and live their lives by giving them confidence and support. I’ve tried to access this support and have been told there are no available advocates. Without this support many patients end up housebound. It’s like a mental health postcode lottery. I’m a mum and it really pains me to see my children missing out on making lovely memories during their summer holidays, because I can’t access the help I and many others suffering in silence need, to manage anxiety and depression, bipolar and many more mental illnesses. I'd say cuts to NHS mental health is wrong ... how are people meant to get better if theres no one there to reach out to in time of need... 😕 I feel strongly about this matter ... Call it personal experience ... Age , race , sex , rich or poor....... Mental illness can affect anyone ....

Could you please make a commitment that the social dimension element of EU legislation/regulations currently incorporated in UK law protecting the rights of workers in the EU is safeguarded and not eroded following the exit from the EU. Could you set out the process the government intends to use to review the current EU/EC Regulations and Directives for instance that form part of the social policy agenda, and how it intends to safeguard and protect existing rights for workers in the UK. It is important that following the exit from the EU, that the current safeguards (headings listed below) are protected, and where possible improved upon. Free movement Fair pay Improved working conditions Social security protection Freedom of association and collective bargaining Training provision Equal treatment for men and women Industrial democracy/Collective bargaining Health protection and workplace safety Protection for children, older people and disabled people

It is important because wether you are legal or not illegal in the uk we are all humans , we all deserve the same treatment , family have been seperrated , from one and other because some have had status to stay here some don't , is not fair , every one who is here but not legally all they want to do is work and live a normal life with their close family's , they want to contribute in the government pay they taxes bills etc, like every other British person , I think there is nothing wrong that , I know family's who have spend fortunes for their close ones to get a status in the uk they have spend thousands on home office fees , court fees and lawyer fees , and in the end of it they still get refused , where are the human rights ?

There are strong rumours that Forest of Dean bus routes could be seriously reduced or some routes axed in the autumn 2016. A public consultation took place in the summer but the results have not been made public. For many people, these buses are a lifeline: whether it's helping them get to work , or helping more vulnerable members of the community get out to community groups. The resulting cuts will affect the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community, isolating them even further with dire economic, educational, employment, and health implications.

Our green spaces and recreation ground are valuable community assets and the recreation ground is vital as it is designated Flood zone category 2, protecting the local community and surrounding areas from risk of flooding. Our playing fields and park are used by many on a daily basis. They are not only used by Sheerwater residents. The recreation ground serves a much wider area. The recreation ground has a large park area for children, skate ramps, cricket nets and a large green space popular for football and dog walking. Should the regeneration go through on the proposed scale, the borough stands to lose the recreation ground. It will be replaced by smaller 'pocket parks' and a swale which will collect water to protect the area from flooding. The smaller areas of green will be far too small to play a game of football. The current plans show that Sheerwater will lose well over a third of its green space. A leisure centre opening within a local school will be accessible to the public outside of school hours, and the facilities will be available 'to hire', which suggests that we will have to pay to use facilities which are currently free and accessible 24 hours a day at our recreation ground. We do not believe this is an acceptable replacement and want to keep our green spaces. If we were to lose the recreation ground, the nearest park of a similar size is almost 2 miles away (in West Byfleet) for some residents. Please sign and support us in saving our recreation ground and green spaces.
