There is a serious lack of pedestrian crossings in the Wester Hailes/Longstone/Sighthill areas and all over Edinburgh. Entire streets are currently left without a single pedestrian crossing – streets that have access to homes, shops and parks, where families go and people walk their dogs. There are intersections and bus routes, but no pedestrian crossings. Pedestrian crossings are needed at the Dumbryden Dr/Murrayburn Rd/Parkhead Dr junction, at the Hailesland Rd end of Dumbryden Dr, on Longstone Rd, and as far afield as Hermiston Gait on Cutlins Rd. Murrayburn Primary school does not have a single crossing anywhere around it. These are but a few suggestions and each is as good as any to start making our streets safer. Drivers NEVER stop when seeing some parent with their child or elderly people waiting to cross the road, simply because there is no zebra crossing anywhere to tell drivers to stop if someone is waiting to cross. The Edinburgh council tells me that, for a street to have a crossing, there needs to be a costly assessment of it, using a nationwide mathematical formula (PV2, or PV squared), to do with the ratio of pedestrian/car. then there can't be a simple zebra crossing like everywhere else in the world, but beacons that cost more money to install and upkeep. They also tell me there are some "islands" to help cross the street in two stages. Some of those islands are so narrow a buggy doesn't fit on them. The solution? Do away with the assessment and the unnecessary beacon and simply paint white lines at every street junction and intersection. Children and elderly and disabled people live in these areas. Isn't their safety – our safety – important? EVERY STREET should have a safe zebra crossing at an intersection.

The supermarket giants will have been researching the additional logistical and other costs of Brexit, and they should reveal their findings to consumers who will either have to fork out more for their shopping or maybe not. The public have the right to know. They don't have to take sides, just tell the truth.

Going to war affects us all and is something that must be debated and voted on in Parliament. Mr Cameron says Parliament should not make the decision as MP's are "ill-informed" We cannot allow our country to be high-jacked in this way by Mr David Cameron. It is too easy for one man to be compromised or swayed by vested interests. A Parliamentary debate and vote is our safeguard against this.

Its very important because it has a very sharp turning to the Queensdown road at the end of the Downs Road E5 at the corner of Downs Park. members of the Public use it, College Students use it. Its at the point where a Church stands. Please sign this petition.

Liverpool City Council have already decided to cut some school crossing patrols (Lollipop ladies/men) because they are not a statutory service and therefore they do not have a legal obligation to keep our children safe. Although Greenbank Primary’s School crossing patrol was cut, Greenbank School along with more than another 50 schools have stepped in to fund this vital service. As you are all more than aware, a huge redevelopment is taking place on Smithdown Road, many of us have raised concerns about making this road much safer for pedestrians. This is the perfect opportunity to request Liverpool City Council to make this junction between Smithdown Road and Greenbank Road much safer to cross. After several emails to the City Council and local Councillors I recently raised this issue with the school. I was asked to collate the support of lots of parents so I have develop this petition: This is of the upmost importance as the road is very busy with traffic and all of us who travel to and from the primary school, nursery and park need the highest of road safety. The council have worked in partnership with the University of Liverpool to add a crossing for students to access Greenbank Park because the road crossing there is dangerous. Do we not all believe that our children deserve the same level of safety?

Tory MP compares calls for financial transparency for MPs with a "ban on curtains" and George Osborne changes his mind on anti-money laundering checks. This government isn't serious about anything, never mind tackling tax avoidance: "The Chancellor has caved under pressure from influential Tory Charles Walker, who last week refused to reveal his tax returns George Osborne has agreed to make MPs exempt from anti-money laundering checks under pressure from moaning Tory backbenchers. ...Ministers will now move to exclude MPs from the watch lists in the forthcoming Bank of England bill. Mr Osborne caved under pressure from influential Tory backbencher Charles Walker, who has been pressing for the change for some months. Mr Walker, who chairs the 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, last week threatened to table a bill banning curtains if he was forced to publish his tax returns." This is bullying tactics designed to try and cover up, the general public have to detail everything to the government and law or face the consequences. Not a problem if we have nothing to hide. So why should MP's who are paid by the people to do a job for the people be allowed to get away with it......

No child should be starving. When this is happening within the European Union, we should do everything within our power as a nation to intervene and ensure that these babies are fed

I could not quite get my head around why they disappeared in the first place. Then I discovered that they are better than the alternatives now in the classroom. As demonstrated by the more intelligent children of Japan's education system. Simply the chalk is wider than markers or computer text and therefore easier for all to see.

Too many childrens lives and educations are being ruined by the lack of diagnosis or lengthy waiting lists. Causing them anxiety and long term problems as well as a lack of reasonable education. My son displayed all the signs of autism in primary school with constant meltdowns and yet was always excluded this has continued into secondary school. After being rejected three times by CAHMS he finally has an autistic diagnosis (scoring high on the spectrum). This has come in year 9 which has caused him to miss years of education struggling in mainstream schooling and multiple exclusions as well as a conviction for me and a hefty fine (for his poor attendance) after being taken to court by the same council that failed my son for so many years!

This is a rare occasion where the public has enthusiastically showed interest in a national science project. The name, although sniffed at by some, would undoubtedly help to engage a new generation of scientists and the general public in the important research undertaken by the boat. Let's get some fun, as well as democracy, back into science.

This little school serves a very rural Teesdale area. The children mostly come from isolated farms and communities. If the school was to close, as planned, many children would not get to school at all in the winter. The next nearest school is in Weardale. The route to the next dale is often impassable in winter. We mustn't let down these children You never know...one of them might be the one who discovers the cure, or answer to, a life changing disease currently plaguing our society!

Sex education can teach respectful attitudes and values - including consent and communication skills, help pupils be more informed about violence and exploitation and explore sex as a regular fact of life. Significantly in our changing world, sex education can help pupils understand on- and offline safety. From an increasingly young age, children are accessing disturbing and abusive sexual imagery online. However hard parents try to put the right controls in place, they need a helping hand from schools. Numerous polls have found there's overwhelming parental support for compulsory sex education. Sex and relationship education won’t stop abusers preying on children. It won’t stop pre-pubescent boys watching hardcore porn. But it might help children become more ready for the world: by helping them to keep themselves safe online and off-, to be able to put inappropriate material in context, and to have a fair crack at understanding sex and relationships (to the extent that any of us do).
