Gravesham Borough Council want us, the residents, to take any excess to the tip ourselves. This is NOT what we pay our council tax for. This will be a requirement for ALL families, every single week. Some do not even have cars, what will happen to the rubbish then? There will be MORE rubbish on the streets, and an increase in rats and foxes attacking refuge. There needs to be a change, this has not been thought out well at all, and is nothing short of cutting corners to save cost.

Euston Road and Hampstead Road are two highly polluted areas in Central London not far from the Telecom Tower. 12 to15 mature large trees in St. James' Gardens and several more in front of Euston station, highly valuable in combatting pollution damage to our health caused by constant heavy traffic, are to be cut down to make way for a HS2 which is being built to knock 20 mins off a journey to the West Midlands. St. James' Gardens provides a very pleasant haven of tranquility in the midst of a busy, polluted area at the back of Euston Station and supports wildlife- young birds. Historic gravestones and a monument provide an impressive reminder of our history ( sailors intercepting slave ships) in the 19th century. I used to play there when I was a child on the swings, now replaced by a well-used sports pitch; a toddlers' playground also exists. HS2 has been passed by Parliament but is there really NO WAY that this company cannot preserve the scarce bit of beautiful nature that has existed in this area for so many years and gives respite to so many? Furthermore, Camden Council has, apparently of necessity, sold community green space to private developers. Again, in a built-up residential area, these green spaces are precious for adults and children alike : of course, it's the trees again which have to go to make way for the luxury flats. If you value peace of mind and your health, please sign this petition. I can't tell you how much it means to me mentally and physically, to be in a beautiful, quiet space and, judging by the scarves which have carefully been tied round all the trees to be chopped; so do many others.

The new landlady, Shirley Turner and her team have provided a well needed shot in the arm to the area. The Langton Court is now a bustling community hub, with many clubs and facilities including: Two pool teams * a ladies darts team* a ladies skittles team* bingo* guitar club * crib club* orange order meetings* radio hams club * football club meetings * charity table top sales.............and the enormously popular live music every Saturday night. The live music in particular, draws people from right across Bristol and the surrounding areas with a passion for live music. No other venue in St Anne's offers this.

Wensum Lodge was once well-known as a thriving Norfolk County Council-run arts hub for the Eastern region. It is still the only place in the region, and certainly in Norwich, to offer accredited qualifications in many of the creative courses run there. These are all due to be cut in September 2017, with only 3 months notice. The recent numerous managerial staff changes and funding squeezes have caused problems at the Lodge, which might be ameliorated were they able to attract more paying students - something which they can do if their online presence and communications strategy improved, and if they continued along the accreditation route. Current students enrolled on courses at Wensum Lodge are often making career changes, or are developing skills in the creative industries which they then plan to use to undertake freelance work - all of which add to the creative life of the city. The value of hosting accredited courses is significant: they are instrumental in training individuals that have allowed our region to develop a strong reputation for the creative arts, and they facilitate the development of careers in those areas. This makes a positive impact on multiple levels: for the creative economy of the area - financial and reputational, not to mention the mental health of students taking these courses. Cutting courses that are poorly advertised and administered makes very little sense when the courses themselves are highly subscribed. On a practical level, some classes could be relocated to more appropriate providers, but the arts courses that are offered cannot. For example, the nearest places offering accredited Ceramics courses were in London, and then almost exclusively in the northwest of the UK. What Wensum Lodge should be doing is investing in publicity and learning support networks (computing, and online presence, amongst other things) in order to encourage more paying students rather than cutting classes that are popular and a valid part of the Eastern region's creative artistic ecosystem.

This is a very important issue for the OAP's and disabled members of the communities affected. These people use our bus service as a way of staying completely independent for as long as possible. These changes to this bus route will leave the most vulnerable members of our community alienated. A short while ago, an elderly relative of mine walked home with a couple of bags of shopping. This is around the same distance as he would be forced to walk to and from his now closest bus stop - if these changes go ahead. Unfortunately due to this he suffered a heart attack. Thankfully he made a full recovery. My worry is that the people like the relative I speak of will just give up and stay at home. They shouldn't have to do this. We have had a bus service to Afoneitha for as long as I remember, having grown up there. It's important to our OAP's and disabled folk that this service isn't taken away from them. Stop the changes to service 3 and 4 - let Rhostyllen, Garden road and Afoneitha keep their vital bus service.

The Welsh Assembly and the Welsh government are considering plans to change how national parks are looked after. But the plans are missing crucial protections that would safeguard Wales’ natural beauty for future generations. Wales is full of breathtaking natural parks, places such as Snowdonia which we all cherish. That’s why we want the Sandford principle retained as an ultimate safeguard so that, when there is an unresolvable conflict of purposes, conservation has the higher priority. We need to insist on full public consultation for any proposed changes to the purposes of National Parks.For more information, feel free to visit the Snowdonia Society and Save National Parks websites.

Wild animals, like lions and tigers, are not meant to live their lives travelling from place to place in small cages, only to be then forced to train for the next circus performance. They deserve to live in much better conditions. Eighteen countries have already banned the use of wild animals in circuses. It's possible for circus organisers to put on an exciting performance without involving wild animals. Polls have shown that Scottish people overwhelmingly support this ban, so it's time for the Scottish Government to put the ban in place. The Scottish Government is currently in consultation to pass this into law. We hope to collect as many signatures as possible. That way we can submit our petition as evidence that the Scottish people care about this cause, and force this bill through. You can read more about the bill here: http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/Bills/104493.aspx We will be submitting our petition as evidence here: http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/CurrentCommittees/104956.aspx

We, the undersigned, are a collective of community members in London who comply with Jewish law and are actively involved in observant, communal Jewish life. This statement expresses our utmost support for the leader of the S&P Sephardi Community, Rabbi Joseph Dweck, both as a senior minister and educator. Contrary to accusations made, we do not feel that our honour has been slighted or that we have been insulted in any way. We are also of the opinion that Rabbi Dweck has been bold in addressing an issue which is often neglected, and that there are rare if any educational forums on this subject matter. Similarly, we have been inspired by his lectures on topics relating to Jewish law for both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. While we would welcome a communal debate about the halakhic parameters of the lecture/shiur in question and educational endeavours to debate the content, we are of the strong opinion that any calls to involve alternative Batei Din and Rabbinic panels in this matter, both local and those in America, Israel or other, or calls to strip him of his title, be ignored and this matter remain local. We also call upon all parties to retain dignity and an appropriate level of discourse. At no time should any further insults be made, lest this result in more desecration of God’s name and negative view of observant Jews both internal and external to the community. We are stronger as a community if we are able to facilitate civil debate l’shem Shamayim.

The trees are an important area for the environment, for the birds nesting and roosting in them. The trees form a magnificent canopy over the village green, an amenity used by the general public and also by photographers especially for weddings and Christenings. The area is extremely attractive and sets off the approach to St. Peter's Church.

He achieved so much and his life was cut short too soon

We, the undersigned, urge the management at St Mary’s University not to close its Philosophy Programme, and to continue to offer students the opportunity to take a BA degree in Philosophy. St Mary’s offers single-honours degrees in Philosophy, as well as some joint-honours degrees with other subjects. It is known locally for its annual series of public lectures sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy, which are well-attended by members of the community. Students and graduates value the discussion and innovative, dialogue-led teaching, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary engagement. These methods promote independence of thought and encourage intellectual curiosity both within and outside the academy. St Mary’s University has a long-standing tradition of inclusivity, and cites core values such as inclusiveness, generosity of spirit, respect and excellence. The diversity and creativity exemplified in teaching and research by the Philosophy team epitomise these values. Diversity is also reflected in the composition of the team itself (for instance, surpassing the 2011 UK average of just 24% of permanent posts held by women in philosophy). [1] By keeping the programme open, the institution have the opportunity to make a statement of intent: St Mary’s upholds the values of inquiry, scholarship and independence of thought; it upholds the value of the arts and humanities for everyone, especially in difficult times; and its support will not waver. We encourage St Mary’s to take this opportunity. [1] Beebee, H. and Saul, J., 2011.

As a resident of Edinburgh and long term clubber Studio 24 has, is and ALWAYS WILL BE a safe haven for unique, gifted and individually minded youngsters to share a safe common space to express themselves fully and safely, as well as perpetually. Hundreds of thousands of patrons have spent a multitude of nights enjoying the culture created within the club, one that has kept alive a special flame ignited in the golden eras of freedom and love throughout time. Those moving into the area obviously have a proper chip on their shoulder about what this venue stands for, and as such should PROPERLY have considered what environment they were choosing to live near and act accordingly rather than bullying the staff and patrons into the situation currently in process. This appeal is for anyone and everyone who has ever made lifelong connections, memories and values on the beautiful club dancefloor of Studios and the world, and an impassioned plea to keep said environment open to allow real love and passion to continue to flourish exponentially and forever. PLEASE SAVE OUR VENUE
