• The UK needs to do more to help with the refugee Crisis
    I am an A Level citizenship student and I feel the UK needs to do more to help with the refugees Crisis, focusing on Syria. I understand there is a lot of aid being sent,but in there situation what they really need is shelter and safety and not be abandoned on the sides of roads in makeshift camps such as the jungle camp in Calais. I am working closely with a team of dedicated persons acting on our assignment of completing some active citizenship. We would like to get at least one hundred signatures to show that our local area feels that change is needed. After We achieve the required amount of signatures we will compile a letter and send it to Christopher Chope(Christchurch MP) asking him to use his powers in the House of Commons to bring around change.

  • Lynton House Surgery High Wycombe - Stop plans to reduce surgery hours
    Plans to reduce hours by 30% on an already stretched practice is unacceptable. When residents call for an appointment they are faced with a 2-3 weeks wait for appointments. There is also pressure being brought to get people to accept appointments at the Cressex health centre which is not easy to access and is on the west side of High Wycombe in Cressex Industrial Estate The Ryemead area population has increased in last 10 years by more than 1000+ and this will continue as more housing developments come on stream. Some 8 years ago it was identified there was an need for an additional “ 1.5 doctors” to meet the need of the new housing estates being build in the area but this wasn’t taken up by a doctors surgery. Lynton House is the only surgery in the Ryemead ward and its hours need to be increased not decreased to meet the local demand We are calling for this reduction is services to br reversed or to be scrutinized in light of the growing need in Ryemead for an increase in Doctors services at the point of need - in the local ward and community

  • SAVE THE FM SIGNAL
    Please reconsider AGAIN on the future of the FM signal switching off. There will be many who cannot afford anew Digital radio,and will all be able to receive a signal. All FM car radios will be made useless,along with the many in households throughout the UK.In our household we have had 3/4 digital radios and all have been hopeless. We are fortunate to now have afforded a Bose Wave radio,which is connected to a proper aerial,with a good signal,and exceptional performance,however,not everyone is as fortunate as us.... A radio is the only contact some people, especially older folk, have with the human voice /outside world...Is this a police state we are living in?...I hope not,especially in my lifetime..I am a pensioner and do have some knowledge of modern tech, how about you? Why do we all have to conform to this decision in the switch off,when nobody as far as I know has been consulted.We are a "free country?" are we not?

  • Open up empty buildings in Burnley
    To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

  • Open up empty buildings in Leytonstone
    To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings. According to the charity Crisis 7,581 people slept rough at some point in London during 2014/15, a 16 per cent rise on the previous year, and more than double the figure of 3,673 in 2009/10. http://www.crisis.org.uk/data/files/publications/Homelessness%20briefing%202015%20EXTERNAL.pdf Data available at http://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/empty-homes shows that, as of 2012, the council owned at least 167 properties out of a total of 2885 empty properties in Waltham Forest. I urge you to follow Manchester's lead and make sure homeless people don't sleep on the streets this winter. Thank you!

  • Open up empty buildings in Slough
    Homeless people in this country are treated with so little respect it hurts to see it sometimes. In Slough in particular, I know of a few people living on the streets who literally can't get anywhere in life - that first step up that some many of us take for granted - because of the fact that they are homeless. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane to carry on letting people live like that, and it's also inexcusable, and quite frankly despicable, when we have so many empty buildings.
