Despite pre-tax profits of £44.1 million, Stagecoach have decided to re-arrange Services from Barnstaple to Exeter via Tiverton by removing bus 155; and adding extra services to cover Barnstaple to Southmolton, and Southmolton to Tiverton. They have also changed the bus between Southmolton and Tiverton to service 346 and reduced the number of services in a day, from 9 to 7 - removing these vital bus journeys needed for workers and College students living in the rural areas between these destinations. This is against the transformation of bus services, simpler fares, thousands of new buses, improved routes and higher frequencies promised by the PM in 'Bus Back Better: national bus strategy for England'. We request that all cuts to this service are stopped and services returned. A Case Study - a student at Exeter College living between Barnstable and Tiverton will now have to leave home at 6.15 to get to College by 9 and will have to wait around for over 1 hour for College to start. A similar wait will happen on return which means they won't get home until 19.40pm. This will further negatively impact on students with support needs whose safety has not been considered in this decision and whose safety will be compromised leaving home in darkness and returning home in darkness. There will be many such cases across the area the former 155 service covers. The worst but very real scenario is that passengers are being made vulnerable by this decision. Our Campaign for Change will make sure Bus Services are returned to their previous times and routes so individuals can travel freely and safely. People before profits. Stop Rearranging Services. Keep and make users safe.

We know fracking damages our countryside, causes earthquakes and pollutes the air we breathe - and all for nothing, as experts don't think it'll boost the UK's energy supply. The founder of a fracking company has even said it will not work in the UK. Jacob Rees-Mogg, you’ve said you would welcome fracking in your garden. Well, we do not share your view. And we simply do not give our consent to fracking going ahead in our local community. Ever.

Black history is our history. Teaching school children the stories of Black people in Britain down the centuries should be just as an important part of history lessons. Black people have lived in Britain for centuries. Black communities have been on these islands since the 1500s. They include a trumpeter in Henry VII’s court, a seaman in the battle of Trafalgar and soldiers fighting for Britain in both world wars. Britain’s involvement in the slave trade also spanned more than two centuries. Yet Black history is rarely taught in history lessons in UK schools. In 2013 then Secretary of State Michael Gove effectively made the teaching of Black history optional by removing the national curriculum’s compulsory section stating that students must study the British history of colonialism and slavery. While the current curriculum gives schools the option to teach Black history, few incorporate it into the syllabus. Recent data found that less than 11% of GCSE students are studying modules that refer to Black people’s contribution to Britain. Out of the 59 GCSE history modules put together by the nation’s biggest exam board, Edexcel, AQA and OCR, just five reference Black history in Britain.  Failing to teach Black history in schools deprives all students of the knowledge that will enable them to relate to their peers and live in today’s diverse Britain. It also has damaging implications for Black British students, impacting on their own self-identification and sense of belonging.

Many children are still missing out on a full meal. My daughter is entitled to free school meals and the daily allowance is set at £2.50 a day . In her school they have just taken on a new private catering contractor. A small chicken burger costs £2.40 thus leaving her no money to buy a piece of fruit or dessert or even a drink. I am having to either send her in with additional supplies or as I am currently doing, adding money each week to her account (which can only be done at a minimum of £5 at a time , thus penalising vulnerable families with a double edged sword so to speak).

If we can get a few million supporting this petition it would encourage the decision maker and the team around him in the Palace to make a case for the Government to reconsider their ban on him going to COP27. We want the UK to be fully engaged in working for net zero by 2050

To future proof the planet to sustain the lives of future generations, and literally not leave our descendants with a scorched earth. What use is financial security when we have destroyed the earth's resources.

Pedestrians and cyclists are forced to play Russian roulette with speeding traffic Ashton's deadliest road when crossing. We have just witnessed two pedestrians nearly getting run over trying to cross over Riversway (A583) to the pavement that cuts through to Morrison's, not the first time we may add. It is completely terrifying crossing the road, particularly at this time of the year when the nights start to close early. The dangers posed to residents who daily fear crossing Riversway with some cars racing well over 40m/ph along this stretch is unacceptable forcing people to play Russian roulette with their lives. With no signage or pedestrian crossing or visible slowdown drivers are unaware that pedestrians/ cyclists may cross the road. We have spoken to a wide number of residents of Ashton who have all felt the same regarding this stretch of Riversway who have all voiced the same concerns as ourselves . It effects us all in our neighbourhood. Safety is paramount to all of us before a road fatality. As well as providing a safe crossing it would also help to keep the traffic to 40p/hr which there has been many complaints about Riversway being used as a racetrack.

If insider trading takes place it is illegal. Our law makers are in an ideal position to benefit from inside knowledge before it is made public. This knowledge can be relayed to friends and family who can also benefit. You and I, and our children, will be paying for these decisions for many years. Decisions that may have been made to generate massive amounts of money for those who are already wealthy rather than for the common good.

The UK has enshrined its objective of carbon neutrality in law. Now, the double whammy of soaring energy bills and Russia's use of gas as a weapon of economic warfare make the development of renewables and increasing energy efficiency more urgent than ever before. Grade 2 listed and conservation area properties are numerous and among the most energy-inefficient in Islington, which aims to become a net zero borough by 2030. With residential buildings accounting for over a third of carbon emissions, planning regulations are preventing landlords, tenants and residents from radically reducing their energy bills and their carbon footprint. Councils such as Kensington & Chelsea are adapting their planning rules to help. Experts agree that London will not meet its climate targets if its many listed homes and conservation areas are left unchanged, as current planning regulations demand. It also means homes are less energy-secure and more expensive to heat than they need be.

Leeds Local Authority have proposed a detrimental movement to permanent close Queensway Primary School. The proposal is due to a decrease in birth rate within the area and unfortunately Queensway is no longer seen as a viable source of income - but we believe that this is something that cannot happen. We fundamentally believe that schools are not for profit, they're to inspire life long learning. We all feel that this is a very short-sighted decision and that the authority should investigate alternative routes that would be less impactful to the vulnerable children within our local community. Queensway has a disproportionately high number of children with complex special educational needs, as well as a large percentage of highly vulnerable families, and even more who are in receipt of pupil premium funding. The school is equipped with the appropriate purpose-built provision to help support these children, which no other school within our proximity is able to fulfil. The closure of this school would mean that our most vulnerable members of society will not receive the quality care and attention that they need, which is going to lead to devastating consequences to the families that we support. We are an inclusive school that support all children that walk through our doors and staff know each child on a personal level. These vital relationships support pupils within every aspect of school life, such as lessons to playtime, as well as extending into their home lives, supporting parents where they need it most with guidance, additional support and food bank services. Removing these established connections will have a detrimental impact on children's mental health and wellbeing. Further to this, places for older children in Key Stage 2 are unable to be fulfilled within immediate proximity to Queensway Primary School, which would mean that children are likely to be placed in schools that are a significant distance away from their homes. Not only would this be challenging for the pupil to travel so far each day, but will also disrupt parents who have jobs and rely on our school to be able to go to work, and support their families. As well as the blatant safeguarding failure of our children, there is also the role Queensway has played historically within the community. Being a local school in a small town, Queensway has always been played an important role for the surrounding families. Over the years, thousands of families have come through Queensway and many of the current staff started as parent volunteers. The school often gets involved in surrounding events, supports local businesses and helps promote town-wide happenings, contributing significantly and supporting the growth of the local economy. The role that this establishment has played over the last 50 years has had an ongoing positive impact for many people and it is something that this community should not lose due to the incorrect decisions being made. Queensway takes part in local charity events, hosts other agencies such as a Children Centre and wrap around care in the form of Kangaroo Kids - although there are not current plans to remove these, it is highly likely that both of these will be rehoused too - removing further support for vulnerable families in the area. We are asking everyone to please consider the impact that this closure will have on all of our children, families and staff - especially the most vulnerable members of society. Join the fight to overturn this decision and lets work together to keep Queensway Primary School open! To quote a pupil at our school, “Don’t think about the children that aren’t here, think about the ones that are.”

The Government has introduced a long-term plan which is supposed to stop the aviation industry damaging our environment. In reality, it does the opposite. The strategy allows airports to keep expanding - helping frequent flyers to fly even more and increasing noise pollution in our local communities. Not to mention the damage more flights will do to our precious planet. This isn’t about stopping families going on well-deserved holidays. There is plenty of capacity for that at our existing airports! It’s about preventing unnecessary airport expansion for the benefit of the tiny number of frequent flyers responsible for most of our environment-damaging flights. Even the Government’s own environmental experts think the plan is bad - they’ve said there can be no airport expansion if we’re to hit our crucial environmental targets! In fact, the Government has just been ordered by the courts to rewrite it’s big climate plan because it wasn’t clear or ambitious enough. The ‘Jet Zero’ strategy is part of that plan and is just as shambolic - for example, relying on unproven tech like carbon capture and hydrogen planes. It needs to be rewritten to include things like frequent flyer levies to reduce demand. That’s why we are calling on the Government to rewrite its Jet Zero Strategy - and stop all airport expansion now.
