Public consultation on the Asda site is a sham. RER, the company promoting this, haven't listened to a word said to them. They want to maximise profits by squeezing even more expensive high-rise apartments on the site; more than double the existing consent. They try to sweeten this by offering a new school in the wrong place, next to Cubitt Town, and a theatre we don't need and didn't ask for. Of course the petrol station people want isn't included!

We all know that the UK is in the midst of a housing crisis and that there is an acute need for more homes. However, we don’t think this problem will be solved by allowing more small and poorly-designed homes to be built. The UK currently builds the smallest homes in western Europe, which means that many of them are not fit for purpose when fully occupied. A lack of space and the poor design of a home can impact health, well-being, family relationships and even a child’s educational achievement. Adequate space (including storage space) is essential for a home to be comfortable and sustainable in the long term. In 2015 the UK Government introduced the Nationally Described Space Standard. This specified, amongst other things, a minimum floor area for each size of household. It meant that a flat for one person would be of a minimum of 37m2 and a two-storey, 3-bedroomed house for 4 people a minimum of 84m2. However, the Space Standard was not made mandatory and the Government has since proposed relaxing this minimum standard. Let’s set a mandatory space standard and put an end to building rubbish houses in the UK!

This is important because the living standards are unsafe for young people and parents to live in. It is also singling out the residents living at the properties giving them next to no connection to their families and friends

The homeless crisis in Brighton is shocking. With the rising cost of living and rent hikes in the area homelessness has visibly increased. There are people living in shop doorways on almost every street and alley way. They are begging for money for food with absolutely no way out of their situation. It is virtually impossible to get a job when you are homeless and in offering the homeless a home we give them a second chance at life. A chance to get a job and live with the dignity and respect we all deserve.

Parliament is rubbish - we all know that. And being a good MP is probably even more rubbish. But we need the good MPs to stay in Parliament, and make it less rubbish. And Mhairi Black of the SNP is one of them. I'm English, and don't want Scotland to leave the UK. I wouldn't vote the SNP. But I know a good opposition MP when I see one - who calls out the hypocrisy of the government, speaks up for those stepped on by the cuts and makes sure the Brexit deal we get from the EU is a good one. Parliament is full of boring old men, weird traditions, strange rituals and some seriously odd cosplay. One of the chambers isn't even elected, and the building itself is falling apart. That's why we need decent MPs like Mhairi Black to stay in office and strive to make it better - more representative, responsive and honest. Mhairi: Please don't leave!

While I’m making a lot of noise about 16 to 19 year olds, anybody up to 21 shouldn’t be ruled out. Young people of this age are highly likely to become mentally unwell. Making them homeless is only going to make the situation worse. There is guidance in place to tell councils that they need to consider issues like this that might make young people vulnerable – but this misses the point. Young people will always be vulnerable, they need a different kind of guidance and support than people with more life experience. It also isn’t right for councils to wait for illnesses to develop before taking action. This is the same message that is intended to be sent out by the Homelessness Reduction Bill. The lives of young people and the jobs of the people that support them will be affected by this ban. I’m asking that Lord Best take action while he can, and change the Bill to protect the UK’s children. An open and more detailed letter to Lord Best is available to view here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AwbhN8UGMdmINxXTDMGytM30E-NmrSjsbIRUHoUak9c/edit?usp=sharing

I have always had a passion for this but after this last week when actually met a homeless person at first I just gave some spare change but I found I could not walk off so I went back and asked them if they would like to come for a cup of coffee which they did thank god because it was freezing outside we ended up chatting in a café for hours and I found out lots about them. the fact is some people just need a little support and encouragement and they can pick themselves up again just by stopping to ask them if they wanted a coffee I actually made a friend and he may now even have a job lined for him my aim is to walk the streets of Swansea giving out warm clothing sleeping bags and bags of food and toiletries ect and just to talk to them and let them know people are listening and they do care this person really had effect on me and I want to carry on helping people on the streets everyone deserves a change help me give it to them

The idea of fining those who already have so little, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold or ask for food and money is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable people and does not resolving the issues homeless people face. Other campaigns have successfully stopped other councils from imposing similar fines.

The idea of fining those who already have so little is crazy, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold and ask for food or money is an indictment of our current system. We HAVE to provide shelter, care and support for those who want it. Could we please stop attacking vulnerable people and do something to resolve the issues of homeless people? We need Swindon Borough Council to focus on resolving the housing issues of the homeless people and families in Swindon - NOT fine those people who have nowhere else to go. This campaign is not politically motivate, it is about reaching out to our fellow human beings, it is about FEELING something for those who live on the streets of our community, it is about asking our local councillors to stop clearing the streets and start helping those who need it most. Please find it in your hearts to support this campaign – there for the grace of God……

With homelessness increasing across the UK and Northampton we should be dealing with the causes and spending money providing shelter, food and helping folks out of this situation. People asking for food and money are usually in need of society's help not punishment. People not in this situation are damn lucky though with societies safety nets being burnt by this government we may be far from being homeless or in need, so please support this petition.

The council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!

We have all lost our way in as much that this is a Christian country so we should show kindness and help to the needy.
