I am a mother to a 10 year old son who's severely disabled after contracting meningitis at 11 months old, My child has always been small enough for me to allow him to join in with his siblings & other children using the parks equipment like slides, swings, roundabouts. Seesaws, ect whilst being on my lap. Unfortunately he's now a 10 year old lad who needs hoisting with no upper body control this is making it difficult for me to be able to hold him on the equipment whilst he plays. There's equipment to suit children like my child so they don't have to miss out and can enjoy playing in the park along with other children his age, I'm asking for the local councils to support this cause so children don't have to feel isolated in their own communities

It would make land more affordable before the speculator moves in .

Many schools don't have a recycling budget and can't afford to recycle. Even batteries end up in landfill. Recycling is important to reduce environmental and habitat damage and global warming. It also helps to reuse resources and materials that are valuable and take a lot of energy to produce and are in limited supply. The school curriculum teaches students environmental protection, global warming, recycling and sustainable use of resources. Yet this is not seen in practice. Schools are not setting a good example to students.

Rents are on the increase, that is a fact. Homelessness and debt are too, also a fact. People are finding it harder and harder to meet the demands of paying rent that is astronomical in proportion to what is being paid in salaries. A recent study shows 37% of a monthly income goes on rent - that's before any other expenses are even calculated. Personally in my situation, i know its more like 60% that goes on my rent and i know many others are in the same boat. As the rent goes up, people can't pay and end up in personal debt, landlords end up with debt and rent goes up further to prevent debt in the future for the next tenant. I urge the Minister and parliament to consider introducing a rent controls act to stop this vicious circle and protect both the most vulnerable and the providers of housing at the same time.

In the UK alone we waste over 7 billion tonnes of food. Most of which can be eaten and is perfectly fit for human consumption however many companies don’t do this due to: A the cost of processing and transporting this food to food banks, or B they won’t give it away for fear of legal repucussions. I want to see a change in government policy that impose strict fines on companies that waste over proposed targets. And promote and support companies giving away food to food banks and other charitable causes.

In the street where I live more than 75% of the houses have been bought by private landlords who have converted them into multiple occupancy properties for students. The average house now accommodates 4 to 5 individual rooms paying an average of £100 per week each. And yet the landlords pay no council tax at all. Each of these houses produces more refuse than an average family does and yet they pay nothing towards bin collection or any of the other services that the council provides. At a time when local councils are struggling to provide basic services it is totally infuriating to see private landlords making huge profits from students without making any contribution to the local councils who provide the services we ALL benefit from.

Why? Research shows that reducing traffic speeds to 20 mph is one of the most effective ways of making our roads safer for children, older people, disabled people, pedestrians and cyclists. In the past five years there have been .... insert figures from analysis. Reduction in incidents data Does driving at 20 mph increase pollution? 20mph zones are supported by a many environmental groups such as Friends of the Earth as driving at 20 mph can reduce emissions. Driving at 20mph reduces braking and accelerating which increase a vehicles fuel consumption and emissions. The AA’s report, Fuel For Thought (Jan 2008) “accepts that targeted 20 mph speed limits in residential areas are popular and improve safety. Along shorter roads with junctions and roundabouts, limiting acceleration to up to 20 mph reduces fuel consumption" . Reference to imperial study? Does it increase my journey time? No. On our roads today it is very rare that you can travel at a constant speed of 30 mph. Bends, blind spots, parked cars, junctions, pedestrian crossings, cars turning right, traffic lights etc mean that you have to slow down or stop very often. Research shows that......

We've all seen the disturbing photos in the media lately of our plastic waste littering the planet. About a year ago I decided to reduce my household waste. I started buying from vegetable stalls, selective items from supermarkets and I travelled to zero waste shops. It was tough to juggle with life and a family and when December hit, with two boys birthdays, parties and Christmas our house became swamped again. And then it dawned on me - I can't do this alone. I can't quietly go Plastic Free. I need to be noisy, I need to let others know what I'm trying to do here. I need to create change. But change is tricky especially when you try to do it all at once. And lots of people out there do not have the time to shop at lots of different stores. So I'm asking Tesco to make one change. To set them an achievable first step towards plastic free. (After all, Every Little Helps) I want Tesco to set an example by changing the way they package their rice and pasta to paper packaging because the current plastic packaging is well, plastic and worse still, non recyclable. I am trying to promote easy swaps that people can make to make their supermarket shop plastic free, however rice and pasta are one of the hardest areas to find alternatives. Thanks for signing and please share! The Plastic Free Mama @theplasticfreemama

Remote villages need access to frequent reliable transport links to towns. Anyone who does not drives will be isolated and cut off from doing normal things in society

Banksy is a globally celebrated artist who gave a work of art to Hull. People came from all over the city and beyond to see it on Scott Street Bridge and it was celebrated in the media, locally and nationally. When it was defaced soon after it appeared there was an outpouring of dismay and disappointment. A local couple restored it and now it needs protecting at least with varnish or better still with a Perspex covering. We ask Hull City Council to recognise, value and protect this significant work of art.

Many pedestrians use this road, for walking to school, walking dogs or walking to/from the village. The lack of footpaths coupled with speeding cars or ones that do not give necessary space when oncoming makes it a treacherous stretch to walk.

this is going to Michael Andrew Coupe the CEO of J Sainsbury plc, parent company of the supermarket chain Sainsbury's since July 2014 this is my story A few days ago I was in my local Sainsbury's about 18:00, i was talking to one of the ladies who works there at the instore bakery, I asked her why she was bagging up the loose bread rolls up and she said i have to reduce them in price otherwise if we don't sell them by the end of the day we have to though them out. I said can you not give them to the homeless? She said I would love to but I'm not allowed to. This is disgusting in the 21 century, it has to stop!!! WILL YOU HELP ME
