Most buskers and street performers earn a large portion of their income from busking and street performance and in some instances all of their income. Implementing such a policy would have a dramatic impact on the performer financially and could lead to them being fined or given an Anti Social Behaviour order. This is totally unjust and the council should reach a compromise which will be beneficial to all concerned.

The Government is planning a roll out of Urgent Treatment Centres across the country. Corby's Urgent Care Centre is equipped with most of the components of an Urgent Treatment Centre so would cost less than any other option available to the STP. Corby CCG have confirmed that change is needed in the area and this would assist in bringing about this change.

Under EU law, animals are currently recognised as being capable of feeling pain and emotion. This MUST continue if we are to be a humanitarian nation after we leave the EU.

Please save the Heath Old Church. Located next to J29 of the M1, this is our hidden local gem, that is under threat from Hs2. The village of lunt and le Hethe first mentioned in the Doomsday book in 1086 united to become Heath some time during the 12th and 13th century. The church was built in the 11th century and used by monks for 500 years. It is very sad to think this will be destroyed by Hs2. The building is grade 2 listed the village is subject to a preservation order due to its significant archological and historic significance. The grave yard easily contains 500 + deceased, most st ill have relatives living in our community. Please sign our petition and save this piece of history. Many thanks, from us all.

It is important to avoid the loss of progress made in animal welfare that has been made in recent decades.

To all those who want safer roads, to all those who love walking, cycling, sightseeing and living in the lower Wye Valley and to all those who are fed up of seeing reckless drivers using rural village roads like motorways, please sign this petition. Currently drivers travelling through Llandogo can break the speed limit, driving at whatever speed they want, when they want. And they do. We have the data. Vehicles have been logged by Llandogo Community Speed Watch driving 60-70mph. Drivers even overtake other vehicles in the 40 and 30mph zones in order to maintain their high speeds! We are the only village on the A466 not to have prominent road signs or any traffic calming. Even villages on surrounding B roads have better measures with rumble strips, driver feedback signs, pedestrian crossings and islands. For some reason though, Llandogo does have yellow lines preventing parking roadside at weekends, when other villages are unrestricted and their parked cars serve to slow traffic further. Speeding was identified as the No.1 concern for Llandogo residents in a recent community consultation, but because the village is not an 'accident hot spot' Llandogo has been completely overlooked by the authorities. The sad truth is, the community is being impacted 24/7 and it's not positive. As traffic speeds, intensity and road noise have all increased the residents have had to adapt, changing their behaviour and curtailing activities they once enjoyed, such as walking, cycling, running, even gardening and playing games; health-boosting, sustainable activities. Crossing the road on foot can be intimidating, especially for the elderly and the young heading to the school and bus stops. Well used footpaths end abruptly at the road edge with dangerously little visibility for both walker and driver. Pets are regularly killed or maimed on the road. Manoeuvring out of driveways is often met with aggression from speeding drivers and close misses are too common. Local people actually fear to cycle on this road. A serious road traffic accident in Llandogo this summer involved an Air Ambulance evacuation of a cyclist from the village green. Cyclists and pelotons are often cut up by speeding drivers taking risks. Speeding and aggression on the A466 is a constant topic raised by tourists to Llandogo. If we do nothing it will only get worse. Please sign this petition to make Llandogo a safer and more pleasant place for the local community, for visitors and for all road users. Let's stop drivers breaking the speed limits in Llandogo.

A tied bar means that you have to buy all your products from the brewery that leases you the bar. This means that the brewery charges you rent to lease the building, you have to buy there products at an inflated price and in some cases they will also take a cut of your net profit.

It is clear: • By turning off motor vehicle engines you improve air quality, reduce fuels costs and comply with the law. • Reducing air pollutants can help cut heart disease, reduce lung cancer and prevent asthma attacks for example What can be done? In July 2017 (yes 2017) I proposed a motion for St Albans District Council to: 1. Introduce a By-law to set up Clean Air Zones outside vulnerable areas such as Schools, Care Homes and Hospitals 2. Consider congestion charging within Clean Air Zones 3. A Clean Air Zone Non-idling zones group be set up to assess and implement key strategies 4. Consider the detrimental impact of vehicles entering town centres 5. Include the on-going government review on classes of vehicles and influencing driver behaviour more effectively through a focus on access to information, training, tax and road levy considerations The good news is the Council Scrutiny committee has now reviewed and recommended a Clean Air Zone strategy to go to Cabinet for review, but since then a limited number of road signage has only been introduced to stop idling, so we now need to keep the pressure on the Council to do the right thing and implement this motion to protect St Albans residents, their children and future generations from this environmental killer.

Orbit wish to start charging a fee unfairly onto a few residents for an area they have no control over, the fee would only be applied to tenants not other local people who also make use of the space which has been Orbits responsibility for years but they now wish to charge for

1. Noise Pollution – we are currently being woken some morning at 5am and 6am with deliveries and very loud trucks passing our houses – this is unacceptable. 2. Parking – Currently the residents have always been allowed to use the parking space outside Travis Perkins, both in the evenings and at weekends when the yard is closed. If this planning application is passed, there will no longer be enough parking on this road for the residents, never mind their visitors. 3. Turning – most incoming traffic heads to the bottom of Elm Grove and turns around – its safe and doesn’t cause a nuisance to anyone. If Travis Perkins extend its boundaries to take over this excess space, how do all cars, trucks, articulated lorries (HUGE!), ambulances, fire engines, care in the community vans (of which there are a lot) turn around in this tiny residential street? As we have seen, some of these huge articulated lorries have had to reverse out of the street, potentially damaging parked cars, setting off car alarms, etc. 4. Emergency Services - there are quite a few mature but ill residents on our street who require collection by ambulance, taxis and care in the community vans to take them to hospital and various appointments – if the road is backed up with trucks and vans, how long before there is a danger to life? 5. Volume of excess business – if Travis Perkins gets permission to extend, this will potentially extend the size of their offering and therefore business going forward, which means even more large vehicles than currently, up to 10 large articulated trucks a day – damaging the street which isn’t built for this weight and potential damage to parked vehicles. 6. Knock-on effect – if Travis Perkins extends, the knock-on effect regarding parking will affect all neighbouring roads and businesses as people will have to go further afield to park their cars, thus potentially endangering them if they have to walk back to their cars or homes late at night, and also putting their cars in danger of being stolen if not in a secure spot. 7. Parking permits – Trafford Council recently carried out a survey on Elm Grove and all neighbouring roads as to the viability of parking permits due to excess parking during the day, at a very large cost to the Council and ultimately us, the tax and council tax payers. If permission to extend is granted, that survey is null and void as the responses will be based on the current configuration of our roads and not on the proposed extension, which takes up the excess parking space we all use. The street cannot cope with the increase in HGV's on the street - please look at this footage and you can see the size of the HGV's that thunder down this road. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/lorries-battling-up-quiet-cul-13910520#comments-section

The closure of this nursery will mean many parents will have to either cut their hours or give up their jobs. It will also be extremely stressful for the children who will be losing friends and trusted teachers. This nursery is relied on by so many parents across Linwood and is a vital amentiy to the local community. Save the 3 Bears!

I feel that in todays climate it is totally unacceptable that we the public should subsidise the consumption of Alcohol in government buildings at a time when everyones belts are having to be tightened, I work in a zero tolerance industry where we cannot drink alcohol along with many other hard working taxpayers while on duty therefore if the Scottish government feel so strongly about driving up the minimum Alcohol price for health reasons they should lead by example and look closer to home. to that end we should ban the sale and consumption of Alcohol totally in government buildings.
