Traffic flows much more freely, even with the roadworks and barriers in place. This is a busy and major Road/Junction and the roundabout is enabling the movement of vehicles in a much more efficient manor.

Keep the disabled and elderly safe during recycling. We all pay our council tax and have an equal right to use the the facility. Stairs shouldn't stop us. Queuing cars into the main road that is used to exit the town is unsafe.

A new chair is needed for BBC Question Time that is in tune with the 21st Century, who is politically neutral and who helps to represent the modern audience. There are already many white, rich, political-establishment-minded men working for the BBC - they are hardly under-represented. Samira Ahmed has 2 awards for journalism, 28 years in the broadcast news biz, including 11 at Channel 4 News, is currently presenting Newswatch BBC & BBC Front Row and is an honorary fellow of St Edmund Hall, Oxford. She is well qualified to present BBC Question Time.

To keep cyclist safe

I feel it is important because cars are not sticking to the correct speed limit . They are not slowing down.. Not safe for humans or animals that are crossing as some drivers are going far to fast .. There are schools , nurseries near by.

We have serious concern about the unethical nature of The Real Bodies: The exhibition, currently on display in Hall 4, NEC Birmingham. The exhibition displays 20 human corpses and over 200 body specimens, including a pregnant woman complete with her unborn baby in the womb, and foetuses from 10 weeks to 32 weeks gestation. The organiser, Imagine Exhibitions Inc., has not been transparent about the origins of the specimens and is reported to not have valid consent documentation from the deceased and/or their families. Until such documentation is provided, we can’t in good conscience expose our children and the community to such an immoral and base commercial exploitation of the deceased. We urge an immediate shut down of the exhibition and a thorough investigation into any breaches of the UK legislative and/or legal guidelines associated with this macabre display. Please sign our petition to help to stop the unethical exhibition. ################################################### Background: 1. It is our understanding that the presenters have not been able to provide valid documentation to prove the bodies' origins, according to the Newscorp report dated April 10. The same inability to provide appropriate documentation was reported during the 2017 exhibition in Prague and Slovakia. 2. Investigative reports have pointed to the questionable origin of the bodies — a large amount of which were created by a university in Dalian, China — suggesting that the cadavers came from executed political prisoners and dissenters. It is important to note that the German weekly Der Spiegel cited the inventor of plastination, Gunther Von Hagens, that the bodies from Dalian were “very fresh”, a criteria that is preferred in the plastination process. In accordance with China’s law a body can be classified as “unclaimed” if it remains in the morgues for 30 days – a duration too long for the plastination process to be successful. 3. In 2010, France’s highest court, the French Supreme Court declared the commercial exhibition of human remains illegal, effectively closing down all such exhibits. Two years later, the Israeli Supreme Court issued a similar ruling. Hawaii banned the shows, as did city councils in Seattle and elsewhere. 4. China’s track record of abuse in the area of organ transplantation has been well documented by governments, media and independent investigators. The grossly unethical Bodies exhibits are believed to be closely linked to these prolific abuses, where similarly vulnerable populations and prisoners of conscience have been reported to be unwilling "donors". The latest evidence compiled in the 2016 report by David Kilgour, Ethan Guttman, and David Matas indicates that China performs up to 100,000 transplants a year, while having a very underdeveloped public donation scheme.

A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN WHEELCHAIRS OR SCOOTERS, LIKE ME, ARE IN TERRIBLE PAIN ALREADY AND HAVING TO COPE WITH THIS 'OBSTACLE COURSE' OFTEN PUTS THEM OFF GOING OUT ALTOGETHER DEPRIVING THEM OF THE MUCH NEEDED FRESH AIR AND THEIR FREEDOM OF INDEPENDENCE, SO......... MAKING THEM HOUSEBOUND. THE CONCRETE GRIDS (LINES) BY THE CROSSINGS AND CYCLE LANES ALSO CAUSE A LOT OF PAIN.

My husband has recently had a knee replacement operation and was refused a blue badge as his condition is not permanent. When visiting our GP he has been in pain and discomfort getting from the car to the surgery. Parking in a regular space makes getting out of the car with crutches difficult due to the restricted space. I feel he has been discriminated against as he is struggling at the moment as much as someone with a permanent disability.

It is essential that our national commitment to ecological issues both national and global, be seen to be all consuming and aware of ALL contributions to the global plastic waste issue.

I just spent £40.00 on a pollution mask so that I can cycle my way into town with feeling slightly safer with less exposure to the toxic levels of air pollution that fill the city. At first, on purchasing the mask it almost felt like the normal thing to do, increasingly seeing more masks pop up on cyclists faces throughout town. "Well the air dramatically exceeds legal toxicity levels, it gives me respiratory problems, it flares my hay-fever up terribly... I guess this is just something i need now because this is how it is, and i care about my health..." I thought to myself. But wait a minute... Why am i having to fork out forty quid so i can breath safely on my way to work?! Especially when I am one of the few who are trying to make a difference by choosing to cycle my way around town. I am not contributing to this health crisis yet I am paying for it. The truth is, we're all paying for it whether you're a cyclist, driver, walker, tuber. Having lived in London for 3 years now, and been a cyclist the entire time, the terrible air quality is something myself and friends have become increasingly aware of and is something we have noticed getting worse with little being done urgently to change this. "Around 9,500 people die in London alone every year due to long-term exposure to air pollution, with most deaths due to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine particulates known as PM2.5s." (Guardian 7 Oct 2015) "The research based on the latest updated London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory, shows that every area in the capital exceeds World Health Organisation (WHO) limits for a damaging type of particle known as PM2.5. It also found that 7.9 million Londoners – nearly 95% of the capital’s population – live in areas that exceed the limit by 50% or more. In central London the average annual levels are almost double the WHO limit of 10 µg/m3." - (Guardian Oct, 2017) An "Ultra Low emission zone" set for 2019 and to be expanded by 2021 is a good step, but we need more urgent action to be taken. "Paul Morozzo, a clean air campaigner at Greenpeace, said: “London air isn’t safe to breathe. Every person in London is affected by this crisis – old or young, healthy or ill. The air you breathe in London is putting your health at risk now and in the future, whether you realise it or not." (Guardian 4 Oct 2017). Cyclists, walkers and members of the public who choose to opt out of driving/ public transport should be encouraged to continue staying green by being given pollution masks to wear in the increasingly dangerous and toxic environment. Although i feel this is by no means a solution to the problem, and Government must take more drastic steps to ensure the safety of the public here in London and in all areas across the country affected by air pollution, I feel this is a fair and necessary action until air quality improves. The Masks should be seen as an immediate and necessary tool to reduce the risk of illness in a city with a government that seems to refuse to take responsibility for the mess it has caused to air quality. I just don't feel this is something I should have to pay for when Government could implement stricter laws more urgently to protect it's people right now. High quality pollution masks such as the Respro Ultralight Pollution Mask filter out the deadly particulates and dust allowing you to breath cleaner air. I hope that this petition may reach and enlighten those who may not be aware of the severity of the crisis. I am not just campaigning for my own health and well-being, but for all in the city. We should all be wearing pollution masks right now, however you travel through the city. If you are concerned for you and your families health regarding air pollution, and you feel you should be protected with a mask, then I feel it is the responsibility of Government to provide you with one. I don't feel I should be rewarded or congratulated for choosing to cycle. I love cycling. I get everywhere faster, I have more fun, i get exercise and i feel good at the thought that i am not contributing to the air crisis. But I feel we all should have the right to breath safer, cleaner air, especially if you care enough to take positive action to combat the problem.

My daughter is 30 years old and married to her husband who she has been together with since 2012 which is 6 years this September and married for 4 years July 15th. All because my daughter suffers with epilepsy and cannot work as she is a danger to herself and others she does not meet the financial requirements to bring her husband to the UK which is all wrong. Her husband lives and works in India all my daughter and my son in law want is to be here in the UK as a family it's wrong how they have to live separate lives and only talk and see each other on video call. My daughter has recently come back from India from seeing her husband I can't bear to see her heartbroken and she can't keep travelling there cause of her epilepsy. They belong here together in the UK if my son in law was to come here he wouldn't claim no money from the government he would go to work and support himself I know my daughter can't bring him but surely the home office can see what they are doing to my daughter and millions of other families by keeping them apart just because you don't meet the financial requirements. It is wrong and heartbeaking for my daughter and son in law and the home office must be made to understand this please help me to bring my daughter and son in law together here in the UK as husband and wife

Carers are becoming ill with the huge strain put on them. Most working 24/7 - 365 days of the year with little or no help from outside sources. I have been one such Carer for eleven years and my health has deteriorated drastically because of it. There are even child Carers who have to help out at home and don't get paid anything as nobody knows about so many of them.
