This would protect both staff and residents help improve the care the elderly receive and cut down on neglect and abuse.

Emad has been in the UK for over 20 years. He has 2 children in the UK and all his family members live in the UK. He has never returned to Libya.. He is receiving medical treatment for a serious eating disorder and mental health issues.. Sending him back to a danger country with no healthcare is a death sentence. Please sign this petition to help him.

Paramedics provide a life saving service and currently as they are not classed as exceptional allied health care professionals this means funding is not available, even as a loan, if you have an existing degree. This also means that students who do get loans do not get travel expenses paid or accommodation like other healthcare professionals. The nation is crying out for paramedics and the funding is a huge barrier eliminating opportunities for highly skilled people who simply can't afford the £29000 tuition fees and then the extra travel and accommodation expenses. The finance is stopping people from training to provide life saving services.

I was born in halifax and now I know why Halifax is not up there with Bradford or Huddersfield (close regions). However small Huddersfield might be it does have a good park with basketball courts (greenhead park) and Bradford have an awesome park (lister park) with 6 basketball hoops - 3 pitches. I really want to play basketball and there is no place in halifax where I can play for free. This needs to be sorted out.

It is important as people need to be educated how to treat the world around us.

To ensure those entitled get quick and necessary attention, whilst eliminating wasteage on salaries, purchases and other handouts

Because of their height, a small child, when waiting in line for their summer treat, will often be subjected to several minutes of poisonous gas from a diesel or petrol engine. Ice-cream vans tend to station themselves in parks and near playgrounds, meaning the health and safety of all children in the vicinity is compromised. We wouldn't allow a lorry to park next to a group of children and keep their engine running for hours on end, so why do we accept it from an ice-cream van? Several boroughs already insist on using electric vehicles to sell ice-cream in parks. We are calling for a blanket ban of diesel powered ice-cream vans in all parks and outside our homes. This is better for the whole community, including those selling those delicious 99s.

We are seeing more people who are losing heart and morale about working in a job that most feel should be rewarding. People go into the health industry to make a change, but they are being exploited to the very limit. We are struggling for staff in all areas and less are wanting to train due to being able to earn more in a supermarket than a hospital.

Network Rail has a programme of closing non-vehicular Rail Level Crossings, ostensibly to improve safety, although many have no safety issues and the resultant closure or diversion of Public Rights of Way (Footpaths and Bridleways) will severely damage the public's ability to enjoy our wonderful countryside. The process is currently being pushed through in the Anglia region, with 63 crossing closures proposed for Essex alone, but eventually every part of the country will be affected. This scale of closures would have a devastating and unprecedented effect on our Public Rights of Way, destroying or degrading many established routes. Often these are historic paths and most are older than the Railways themselves. Mott Macdonald, the consultants being used by NR, are employing a legal device called a Transport and Works order and involves:- Closure of a large swathe of crossings at a time. No opportunity for the case for each crossing to be tested at a public enquiry. Only a limited programme of consultation in which many local people and the public at large have no knowledge of the plans and their implications. Only limited options being presented and no opportunity for consultees to argue for alternative approaches. Some of NR's solutions destroy the pleasure in using the path, such as diverting it long distances beside the railway, but some are dangerous in themselves where pedestrians are to be directed along roads without verges. Where statistics show a genuine safety issue then action may be necessary but in many cases this is not the case. And if NR were genuinely concerned with safety and not just the convenience of banishing the public from its estate it would be proposing bridges, tunnels, and other safety devices at points of concern, rather than their draconian and undemocratic approach.

The practice is essential to the community and over inflating running costs without justification is detrimental to the people that it serves.

We are a remote rural area with a large number of elderly and retired residents. As well as the locals, we have many tourists visit us, a lot of them are walkers due to the mountainous terrain around Lynton. Add to that the fact that we have a harsh rocky coastline and the fact that the roads in this area are far narrower than those in cities or other urban areas, and it's fair to say the Emergency Response Team (ERT) is kept busy here. Moving the ERT to Ilfracombe and/or Barnstaple would increase the response time of paramedics dramatically and it would increase the workload of already heavily burdened first responders. As a Scout Group, we feel passionately about this and we are against the decision to move our ERT %100. One of our Scouts was treated by our ERT and it took nearly 10 minutes for them to get to him - if they had to come from Barnstaple or Ilfracombe, it would have taken 3 or 4 times longer! The proposed relocation of the Emergency Response Team would leave all residents and visitors to the Lyn Valley area even more vulnerable than they already are and lives will be put at risk. Please sign this petition to ask Cllr Andrea Davis to stop the decision made by South West Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT) to relocate the Emergency Response Team and keep the Team here in Lynton.
