Banksy is a globally celebrated artist who gave a work of art to Hull. People came from all over the city and beyond to see it on Scott Street Bridge and it was celebrated in the media, locally and nationally. When it was defaced soon after it appeared there was an outpouring of dismay and disappointment. A local couple restored it and now it needs protecting at least with varnish or better still with a Perspex covering. We ask Hull City Council to recognise, value and protect this significant work of art.

Many pedestrians use this road, for walking to school, walking dogs or walking to/from the village. The lack of footpaths coupled with speeding cars or ones that do not give necessary space when oncoming makes it a treacherous stretch to walk.

Council bullies in solar loo grab! Local residents face a David and Goliath battle with Hackney Council to retain ownership of the community restored Brooksby’s Walk public convenience. The Council plan to terminate the community’s lease on 8th February. Residents re-opened the toilets serving Chatsworth Road, left closed by the Council for 30 years. After a long campaign and formation of the Clapton Improvement Society, they were granted a 5year lease in 2013, with the promise of a 100year peppercorn lease to follow. The Society raised funds from the Lottery and loans from members to renovate the toilets and convert the gents to a café/restaurant to pay for their maintenance. The current operator is David Bez’s Pride Kitchen, a vegetarian café. Altogether more than £40,000 has been invested. Clapton has Britain’s only luxury sustainable solar powered free public toilets as a result. But from the beginning, the Council has made life difficult for the volunteers. Officials raised a series of petty complaints about the works done by local contractors. Building inspectors demanded an expensive sprinkler system and then didn’t issue the certificate after completion of the works. A local councillor raised unverified complaints about the café and persuaded the licensing committee to refuse an extension of hours, which had been granted planning permission after an appeal to the independent planning inspectorate. Now the Council’s estates department is seeking to terminate the community’s ownership on wholly spurious grounds (including not having the building completion certificate) without any plans to keep the toilets open. “It’s an outrage!” says Society secretary Mary Doyle. “ As someone who is wheelchair fast, this is the only local toilet I can use”. “The Council has always resented our campaign to re-open the toilets and provide decent facilities on the street. Now they want to steal our community asset. Far from helping community initiatives as they boast in glossy reports, they undermine, bully and ignore them when they can.” PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION!

A serious accident is going to happen and more lives are going to be lost. People work hard to keep there cars on the road. People are having to pay for repairs to their cars, some people are struggling as it is. Something needs to done.

This proposal is important to the local residents and the wider community as it will bring us: • A free to use and family-focused centre for cycling, skateboarding, and play for all ages and abilities in a safe and well-maintained environment • A new café and community facility with toilet facilities in the park • Improvements to the River Colne, landscaping, and better access to and from the park

Primary school children are having to take chances crossing the road in order to get into school on time. Vehicles regularly stop on the crossing causing difficultly for pedestrians Numerous accidents have caused lights and bollards to be knocked down - next time it could be one of our children. Greenbank School parents have commented how they need to set off earlier due to the additional time it takes to cross Smithdown road from all directions.

Stepney's Cafe has been a key social point for the community since it opened and it's closure will be a huge loss. The cafe provides a safe, comfortable environment for families to relax and enjoy time with friends and children.

We do not accept the level of power that is given to the developers of our city. We demand that all new housing developments should have both insulated buildings AND renewable energy. This requirement should not be dropped because of 'urban design'. We do not accept unsustainable development that contributes to climate change; our communities need clean energy, transport links, and schools, doctors surgeries and amenities.

‘Tradition’ could be upheld, and hunting dogs kept within the law, yet foxes, domestic pets and others could all be legally safeguarded. If you’re hunting a scent trail, legally, muzzling makes no difference. Why not?

This will give parents peace of mind, stability and save hard earned money for the future of their children or utilising that money in other productive use.

This is important because not every one has the internet, and even those that have sometimes have problems resolving them. This Government is suppose to be interested in promoting communities and protecting jobs Bank of Scotland will be making around 800 people redundant.

Brexit, whether you voted for it or not, will be a moment where we will have to think afresh about how we present ourselves in the world. And it is matter because our future success as a country will be determined by whether people around the world want to buy goods and services designed, provided and manufactured in Britain. Get it right, people from around the world will want to buy British. Get it wrong, and people won't want to be associated with us. Passports are a physical manifestation of how a country sees itself and presents itself. So, let's create a passport which reflects our past, but isn't captured by it.
