Caroline Richards, who has worked for the Post Office for more than 30 years, played a significant role in the wrongful prosecution of former sub-postmistress Jacqueline McDonald. Ms McDonald, a mother of three, was convicted of stealing almost £100,000 from her branch in the village of Broughton, Lancashire, and sentenced to 18 months in prison. To allow someone with previous links to the Post Office Horizon computer scandal to manage the compensation claims of its victims is outrageous and wrong. It is an insult to all of the 550 Post Office Staff who were wrongfully prosecuted, including all those still awaiting compensation. Caroline Richards played a key role in the wrongful conviction of a sub-postmistress and must be removed from her role in the Horizon Shortfall compensation scheme immediately and placed in a different department - one that is not involved in any way with justice for Horizon victims.

If this shop is making a profit, why close such a flagship store, putting people out of work and seriously inconveniencing customers that use it? It isn’t always convenient for customers to visit the alternative stores in Birstall, Pudsey or Halifax, especially the older demographic.

To everybody who lives in Horwich we can make a big change by addressing this problem

Because it would be the best birthday gift to dolly and it would mean she has an even deeper connection to the song

Other people should join to help protect young children affected by dug gangs. Not only to keep them safe but their well-being.

Wollaton Hall, Gardens and Deer Park in particular are considered by many as the 'Crown Jewels' of the 'Queen of the Midlands' and must be maintained as a community asset for future generations to enjoy.

Many children and young adults are subject to extreme bullying, attacks, verbal and mental abuse and homestead nonacceptance as well as having to battle body dysphoria and other mental illnesses due to the aforementioned discrimination. Also puberty blockers have stopped being issued to trans children in a “life saving” attempt by the NHS but it will actually further the discourse in trans affirming care . We need urgent action to stop and prevent all hate crimes and discrimination against LGBTQIA+ students and young people and guaranteeing and safer and better future for all involved.

Thousands of luxury houses have been built on green fields and floodplains across Newcastle Great Park over the last 20 years, with local communities forced to battle for vital infrastructure such as shops, doctors and schools. Development has been allowed where development should not have been allowed, for example directly adjacent to Havannah and Three Hills Local Nature Reserve (LNR), where hundreds of mature trees and established hedgerows have been ripped out and wildflower meadows lost from the Ouseburn Catchment wildlife corridor, all because of Persimmon Homes and Taylor Wimpey’s relentless pursuit of profit. Not content with destroying habitat around the nature reserve, Newcastle Great Park Consortium is now looking to take land from INSIDE the nature reserve. Planning application 2022/1131/01/DET would see trees and vegetation removed along the public right of way that runs directly through the LNR, from the Three Hills car park to the Great Park to make way for a new ‘strategic route’, as well as additional tree, hedgerow and scrub removal in the Ouseburn Catchment wildlife corridor. This route would be lit with huge street lights, which would extend through the nature reserve and around the perimeter of the southern boundary of the reserve, lighting it up like a beacon. Artificial light at night is harmful to wildlife and disrupts breeding and feeding patterns in amphibians, birds, mammals, insects and plants. In 2018, Chris Packham visited Havannah as part of his ‘Nature Reserves Are Not Enough’ campaign, highlighting the need to protect land outside of nature reserves for wildlife. What would this vociferous campaigner say if he knew there were now plans to develop INSIDE the nature reserve? We are in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, with two million species at risk of extinction globally and 1 in 6 species at risk of extinction in the UK. Locally we have felt these losses too, as wildlife habitats are being fenced off, eaten away and bulldozed. Havannah has already been well and truly hemmed in. Wildlife cannot exist in isolated pockets and fragmented landscapes. We cannot allow greedy developers to profit at nature's expense. In July 2022, Newcastle City Council pledged to take local measures to prevent the loss of and to enhance biodiversity. These plans, if approved, would undermine Newcastle City Council's commitments to the natural environment and its legal duty to actively conserve and enhance biodiversity. Local wildlife would be dealt yet another devastating blow. We must stand against this latest stab at inflicting widespread loss of biodiversity, at a time when we should be protecting it the most. If enough people sign this petition, we can send a clear message that Newcastle's nature reserves are not for the taking.

Closure of the household recycling centre in Whitchurch would result in a round trip of between 1 and 2 hours to reach other recycling centres, none of which are nearby. I believe that would significantly increase the likelihood of fly tipping. This would also Increase traffic on local roads and affect air pollution due to the significant round trip journey times to other centres. Local disabled people would be disproportionately disadvantaged. It also contributes to the erosion of local infrastructure at a time when significant new residential development is taking place.

The Barnes community was really happy when our local post office reopened along with a Morrisons shop. It was a welcome addition to our town. However, we are all shocked at the blatant marketing of vapes to young people. The colourful stand of vapes is directly facing the glass door of the shop (seen from the street) offering an array of sweet flavoured Vapes such as strawberry and mint. These colourful, flavoured vapes are attractive and enticing to children. Children's doctors say vaping may cause long-term damage to young people's lungs, hearts and brains. The vapour inhaled contains a small amount of chemicals, including the addictive substance nicotine. It is well know and well researched that nicotine: - is highly addictive - can cause anxiety and depression - can cause bronchitis - leads to lung damage (which can be life threatening) Vaping also exposes the user to cancer-causing chemicals.

The Court of Appeal held that the prosecution of sub-post masters by Post Office Limited between 2003 and 2013 was an abuse of process and an “affront to justice”. This affront to justice was wielded by a body of self regulated 'legal professionals', funded by the Public Purse. A legal professional has a duty to recognise and be transparent where there is a clear shortfall in evidence. Equally, a Judge is duty bound to inquire if something was stolen, where did it go? This is to ensure that an intangible, i.e.: a number in a database correlates with something real and tangible. We would expect to recover in excess of £300,000,000, which would be usefully employed in assisting all of those harmed, to re-build their lives. Real Justice for all.

Keeping the street safe and prevent damage to cars and pavements!
