While teen pregnancy is on the decrease in the UK, we still have the highest rate in Western Europe. Teen pregnancy rates here are 5 times higher than in the Netherlands and around twice the EU average. We believe that this difference is down to a reluctance to talk about the realities of sex in the UK.

A Wiltshire wide concessionary fares scheme should be considered by Wiltshire Council. Many of these young people are in full time education and have no access to there own transport. And in many cases if there is public transport the price is beyond there reach.

School kids have to cross between parked cars, meaning it could only be a matter of time before an accident happens as heavy good vehicles, cars and trucks use the road in a 30mph zone. Because of parked cars, traffic is reduced to a single lane - meaning there is a great deal of congestion. We have the opportunity to influence Hamleton Highways and the police who are coming out to access the situation and with your help we can make this happen for the safety of our children. Most villages I have driven passed have these clear marking and is a 20 mph zone through out the villages.

For his humanity, empathy and actions in relation to the victims of the Hillsboro disaster and their families and for his achievements in Sport.

London is most expensive city in the UK, with extremely high living cost. At the moment students only get 30% off travel cards and 16-25 cards only allow 30% off of off peak single fares, but must pay the full price for peak fares. Why should students have to pay to go to university when they are struggling to afford everything else. The cost of education is expensive enough, why should we have to pay more. Help students out and let them travel to university for free.

Safeguarding our children has to be a top priority. Irresponsible and illegal parking around schools is increasingly dangerous. This is a national issue. Current legislation is inadequate and councils do not have the funds to place wardens at all schools to enforce the legislation that is currently in place.

As a community we want more support for Schools in the Afan Valley. More Funding to Keep one of the best Comprehensive open and to Be listened to by the welsh Government. while this is going to a loss for the afan valley we are determined to fight.

The petition of residents of United Kingdom, Declares that there is compelling evidence from clinical and laboratory studies that interacting with pets can be beneficial to the physical, social, and emotional well-being of humans and that the human-animal emotional bond does not differ from the one that we sustain in relation to close family members; further that the twenty-first century is the beginning of the revolution in ethics related to scientific evidence regarding consciousness in animals – now confirmed that it is astonishingly close to humans; further that mental health services in the UK are overstretched, have long waiting times and a lack specialist services in some regions; further that the Mental Health Foundation also recognises the value of “pet therapy” in suicide prevention and treating depression leading to it; further that there is no scientific research to support the thesis that tenants who have pets are worse, more difficult or cause more damage to properties than those who do not; and further that almost all tenancy agreements, by default, contain a no pet clause, which is nothing more than a prejudiced practice, as a result, people who have pets are especially victimised in their attempt to simply put a roof over their heads in this difficult housing crisis context. Therefore, the petitioners request that the House of Commons urges the Government to introduce legislation that recognises the importance of the emotional relationship of man and their non-human family members; further to put the interest of the most vulnerable and the public interest above the right of the property owners if the property is a subject of commercial gain; and further that the legislation should allow the emotional support animal access in housing facilities, even when the complex has a no pet policy or breed/weight discriminatory policies.

The playground surface is slippery and the surrounding borders unsuitable and a health risk with the children being covered in mud at playtimes. There is a metal pipe protruding from the playground next to the gate and the metal steps leading in and out of the school are slippery in the cold and wet weather. We also feel that the surrounding fence is not at an adequate height to keep the children safe from the busy road. There is inadequate supervision of the playground at morning drop-off.

In the 1970's, a plan was devised to get rid of the core of the domestic side of the village. It was to become an Industry only area. The people who lived on village thought this unfair as they had grown into a viable community. They fought for, and won the argument, The village is fast changing from and Industrial to a domestic landscape and people should know of its Industrial past, the importance of which covers worldwide sales. Its edge tools are still in use and respected throughout the world. Names like William Gilpin and Cornelius Whitehouse Hedgehog tool works. Other tool works included Elliot Lucas hand tools and Whitehouse Brothers. Bricks & Tiles were also made in Bridgtown by Hawkins, Rosemary and Haunchwood Lewis, all of which had a nationwide clientele. More recently Manufactories such as Lucas Automotive Electrical, Schraders valves, GKN Sankey had premises in the village. Now we have Finning (Caterpiller) heavy construction plant and Gestamp - both international manufacturers. Now, some of those sites are being turned into housing developments and smaller industrial units and the Bridgtown & District Local History Society wants to tell the story of this short lived but important village through research and archiving and tell everyone who wishes to know how this place developed through the Industrial revolution in the 1860s to the present day. We already have 3 boards in situ (with the kind backing of the developers, Parish , District and County councils and benefactors from the local community) but now we require funds to complete the task. We are not a large village and the Society is small but we have already shown our dedication to our cause and would like to see it through for the community past and present. This will give the village a standing in the area it deserves.

Because we feel that even though the stigma of male nurses and midwifes is falling, it's still not enough for the public to know. We conducted an interview and all of the people said we should try to reduce the stigma of male nurses so we feel it's right to start a petition.

Our daughter attends a speech and language base, she has been there for almost two years, in this time not only has her speech come on (she hardly spoke when first attended) but her confidence has grown too. All the staff are brilliant and have built up a lovely relationship with her. She struggles when she goes into mainstream class in the afternoon with the amount of children and noise. She really wouldn't be where she is today if it wasn't for 'the base' at her school so please please help to try and stop the closure of other bases. Our daughter is one of many children with special educational needs that really need the help, care and support these bases offer. This will have an impact on the surrounding schools and bases for all these children with special educational needs. Why should they be the ones who suffer!!!! Please sign the petition Thank you
