• Protect Victoria Road Primary School
    The ACC are pitching to build a new school in Torry when we have a perfectly good school that they have abandoned and left to rot. Instead of trying to find another location in Torry and demolish this one, we need to put the £20 million into restoring this beautiful building and reopening it. The ACC simply cannot keep destroying our heritage.

  • Stop the lights going out over Gainsborough
    In the interest of safety and security we request that the switching out of lights in residential streets between midnight and 6 am be withdrawn and that LCC follow the example of Doncaster Borough Council by replacing lamps with energy efficient LED lights that will reduce electricity costs by 70% and reduce maintenance costs due to their long life (25 years compared with 6 years). Residents are very concerned that the creation of dark spaces in the town at night will encourage burglaries, anti-social behaviour and accidents. Do let us know of your concerns and any experiences you have related to the lights being out.

  • Make Functional skills qualification at University for students with learning difficulties
    There are students who may struggle with the format of GCSE and find Functional skills easier to understand yet it is not recognisable like GCSE. Why not? I want to know why it is not possible to be a recognised examination process, as Edexcel GCSE? I struggle with GCSE. However I find Functional skills less confusing. I am wondering if it could by a recognizer for students with mild to moderate learning difficulties or have discaculia or dispraxia?

  • Traffic Petition
    If these companies are allowed to follow through with these proposals then the entire way of life of the residents of Ardersier will change for ever. The high level and type of vehicle they want to use before and after construction will damage not only the roads but the 200 year old properties which are along this route. These properties need to be preserved not destroyed. Help us stop these companies from destroying our historical village.

  • Nurses do not need to have University training!
    I trained as a nurse and qualified in 1967. This was how I was trained. It would remove the need for Agency staff and thereby save millions! I am concerned that standards of care are falling because of volume of patients, plus lack of supervision/knowledge by ward managers! You do not need a degree to Care, and that will never change with technology. Having spoken to other nurses of my era we all feel the same. Hunt is not listening!

  • Bring Isle of Skye into 21st century tourism
    As Scotland moves forward to whatever it's new future entails the fact that the oil industry is in the doldrums and Scotland is a world class destination means tourism will only become more important. The Isle of Skye, whilst becoming ever more popular with visitors, is currently under resourced to meet growing demand to visit the island. This must be addressed to make sure a real opportunity for Scotland's future is met.

  • Exempt Haemophiliacs from PIP assessment
    A generation of Haemophiliacs were infected with HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C through contaminated blood products (Factor 8 & 9) on the NHS throughout the early 1980's. People with haemophilia can bleed into the joint space after an injury or, at times, without obvious cause. The pressure of blood filling the joint cavity causes significant pain and can lead to chronic swelling and deformity. This is a condition which can, at best, be delayed, but invariably leads to chronic Arthritis. Unlike modern clotting agents the Factors given to this generation weren't as effective as they are now and it's very rare to find a patient who hasn't suffered lasting multiple joint damage. In recognition of this many were awarded higher lifetime rates of Attendance Allowance and or Mobility Allowance (now combined into DLA). This has allowed many to live a much more productive and full life than they otherwise could. DLA is currently being replaced by Personal Independence Payment. This requires anyone in receipt of DLA, regardless of term awarded, to undergo an assessment which ranges from highly stressful to traumatic. Given that most surviving Haemophiliacs from this group have already been left traumatised by the multiple infections given to them many are viewing this assessment with much trepidation and concern. Some Haemophiliacs have surrendered the benefit rather than have to go through it. The Scottish Parliament has taken steps to alleviate the financial concerns of this group, well above the lamentable efforts by the UK parliament and should be applauded for their compassion and understanding. It would greatly help the survivors further if they were made exempt from this humiliating process.
