The Hampstead Antique & Craft Emporium is of significant cultural importance and is now recognised by Camden Council as an Asset of Community Value (ACV). The antique market is one of the oldest indoor markets in London and has drawn visitors from around the world to the heart of Hampstead for almost 60 years. The market is currently home for around 25 small businesses, and helps secure a livelihood for antique dealers, artists, vintage clothing sellers, jewellery specialists, repair and craftspeople. It provides a centre for the community to gather and an attractive destination for tourists. It encourages an appreciation of our past and retains old world charm in a village whose commercial streets are becoming the sole domain of estate agents and prohibitively expensive clothing chains. It provides affordable second hand items, repair services and showcases craftsmanship, quality and inspiring design built to last. This contrasts sharply with the unsustainable fast fashion and single use items generally available, all part of the throw away culture that is destroying our environment. Our market is based on reuse and repair, an ethos that should be encouraged and promoted for the good of the environment. Help us preserve the market at the Emporium and stand against its redevelopment as luxury homes and businesses. Stop some of our last small shops being squeezed out of the village.

This will enable the return of a safe cycle space for all, and for the centre to be run for the community, by the community. The Glasgow Green cycling centre is not just a patch of ground with bikes on it. It is nothing without the workers, volunteers and service-users who made it what it was: A safe, inclusive community which provided a shared experience for all. We are campaigning to recreate that cycling centre - for cycling lessons, led rides, disability cycling, bike repair and volunteering. We want a safe space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy cycling. Free Wheel North sacked its workforce with immediate effect on 21st September. They claimed that there was no funding left to pay wages and that the cycling centre was making a loss of £10,000 a month. But the financial figures they provided changed - literally - from one day to the next. Staff were sacked before they had a chance to challenge the final set of figures. Committed volunteers with years of experience were dumped. The centre is now being run by Free Wheel North Directors and inexperienced volunteers. This needs to change. Free Wheel North should be held to account for undemocratic governance. Prior to the redundancies, other organisations were interested in taking over the lease to keep the staff in their jobs, and to keep the volunteers in their posts. They are still interested in taking over the lease and running it properly, with due care to Health and Safety, PVG checks, welfare of staff, volunteers and service users, and providing a safe, inclusive environment. The Office of Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has an open inquiry into FWN due to the number of concerns raised throughout 2022.

North Cornwall is predominantly rural, linked by narrow winding roads. With the older population emerging from the pandemic into a transformed world, changes in bus services, timetables, and schedules have impacted the community. Accessing NHS appointments, commuting to work, and attending social gatherings have become challenging for residents. https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/2zapavgh/ltp-summary-document-52380-web.pdf The Plymouth City bus service we receive here in North Cornwall is not delivering on The Transport Plan.

Dog Day Care has become a popular and valuable service which provides important needs for dogs such as exercise, socialisation and all day care enabling owners to go to work. There are so many benefits for dogs who attend daycare: they are more content, better behaved, well socialised around other dogs, less anxious and easier to train. Day care also creates a safe place for dogs to run around freely without disturbing members of the public. It's also secure so that dogs who have a high prey drive or cannot be trusted off lead can play and interact safely. Crufty Pups Creche played an important part and worked safely throughout Covid, meaning that key workers could still go to work and vunerable owners could isolate whilst still meeting the needs of their pets. We feel that this also prevented some dogs from having to be re homed or developing behaviours such as anxiety or losing confidence with social skills. If Crufty Pups Creche were removed from the land, we would be faced with little option but to close altogether since the set up costs to relocate would not be affordable. Not only is this place valuable to dog owners, but also the staff, volunteers, students who complete work experience with us and all of the dogs who spend their days with us. Please help us by signing this petition which I will be presenting to the council along with my special circumstances planning application.
