Guideposts Trust runs a day community service, and our service users- all of whom have a Learning Disability- have to cross the road here daily. Thousands of cars speed down this busy road every single day, which makes finding a safe space to cross over extremely difficult and dangerous. Alongside this, almost every office/company situated in Two Rivers crosses here too, so we know we aren't alone. Please sign our petition today and secure a safer environment for those who live and work in the affected area.

Fed up with dogs of leads attacking smaller dogs like my yorkies, it is really bad here in fife

We, as a growing belief section of the community feel we are under represented marginalised and ignored with in these settings and encounter intolerance and ignorance and call for an end to this and our diversity to be celebrated and officially accepted and staff educated to know about our systems of celebration of life and death and care of our sick and our elders It is gravely important our belief systems are respected and represented with in health and care settings and our community tolerated and allowed our dignity. recently a druid priestess was in a nhs hospital in the north midlands during summer solstice, one of our holy high days of the pagan wheel of the year, and was subjected to verbal intolerance and taunting by some members of staff who encouraged patients to join in, been likened to as a Satanist and weird and also told we sacrifice animals, all of these nothing to do with the pagan and druid beliefs, the priestess was so affronted she raised it with the CQC and hospital chaplaincy and official complaints are in process

These are the people who have so much potential yet they throw away their money on nothing but a bag of chemical which at times can lead to death and many other things. At the end of the day this is the society your living in, would you rather live in a dangerous society with people running about of their heads on drugs, or a place without drugs, a safer and happier environment

This proposal does not have the support of the British Institute of Architects and would ciminalize tourists and visitors taking photographs in public with a copyrighted building or work of art such as the Angel of The North in the background.

Khat is not a drug and the government them selfs conducted a research that proved so. This is something that is only used for social gathering purposes.

There has been no consultation with the public to my knowledge. A lot of people live in hope of improving their lives with a lottery win. Camelot's argument that there will be bigger jackpots because there will be more roll overs may be factual but I'm sure most people would rather invest in the lottery as it stands. At present the odds on winning the top prize is approx. 13 million to 1. The new lottery due to start in October will make the odds 45 million to 1 and therefore make even the smaller prizes so much harder to win. Let's stop this before it happens and we will all have a better chance of winning.

At the 2013 consultation on preferences for growth in North Tyneside to 2032, 37% of respondents expressed a preference for seeking other options rather than build any new homes, and a further 47% preferred working with neighbours to reduce the requirement to 10-12,000 homes. Only 10% of respondents expressed a preference for building 16,000 homes. The council have selected this option and the Draft Local Plan 2015 sets out plans to build 16,000 extra homes in this plan due to be agreed in 2015. The difference between the chosen growth option and those preferred by the vast majority of respondents is approximately 5000 homes. This is the number of homes planned to be built at two important greenfield sites at Murton and Killingworth Moor. We believe that North Tyneside Council's decision to adopt the higher growth model goes against the clearly expressed view of respondents to the 2013 consultation for no new homes or fewer new homes to be built. We are calling for the Draft Plan to be re-written based on the preferred low / no growth model, and remove proposed plans for 5000 new homes.

Castlefields Park is habitat for buzzards, owls, squirrels, songbirds, turtle doves, bats, and insect life, and mass tree removal will disturb them greatly. The birds require high trees in which to perch; the trees are a precious asset to the park and the community. Please sign the petition and also email your concerns to [email protected]. Thanks.

On 18th June Fife Cultural Trust, who run Fife's libraries on behalf of Fife Council, announced the proposal to close 16 libraries across the county: Glenwood (Glenrothes), Thornton, Markinch, Pitteuchar (Glenrothes), Kinghorn, Crail, Lundin Links, Pittenweem, Colinsburgh, Falkland, Freuchie, East Wemyss, Bowhill, Crossgates, Abbeyview (Dunfermline) and Townhill. These libraries provide many people with vital internet services and access to books that they would otherwise not get. Many unemployed people or those on low income cannot afford internet contracts and therefore use the libraries for this: closing them means far more restricted access to things like online banking, bill payments and job searching. Some of the areas affected are rural and by closing these internet access points they will have to use public transport to travel further afield; this is money they do not have, and may lead to benefit sanctions if they cannot apply for jobs. Update (23/6/15): Local councillors have managed to stall the closures by demanding Fife Council give a public consultation. While this is great news we still need to continue having our voices heard.

Caerphilly CBC has drawn up a new Health and Leisure Strategy that would see 7 of the 11 leisure centre in the area close, including the much loved and well used Cefn Fforest baths. There was a wonderful turn out to the public meeting about the closures on Wed 17th June, where over 100 people spoke with anger and passion against the short-sightedness of these plans. Some comments include: - the difficulties travelling to another area for leisure means that children and adults alike would not be able to exercise or swim as frequently - None of the schools in the area were consulted and yet most use the school for swimming lessons - the hypocrisy of the council encouraging healthy living and yet taking away a prime resource for improving health and well being - the negative effect on our children who won't be able to walk to a local baths, we talked of the wonderful outdoor pool in Pontllanfraith, which is still missed - losing the baths will no doubt effect poverty in a ward that already has one of the highest levels in the whole of Caerphilly Despite the three County councillors saying that they would fight to keep them open, we need to do all we can to let Caerphilly CBC that we are absolutely opposed to their new strategy and they find alternative ways of saving money that will not effect the well-being of so many, as well as the opportunities for our children.

We are losing so many iconic shops in town and this would be a blunder on the highstreet to change it to the name Fenwick
