Animal owners and caretakers of RSA petition the government to recognise and permit companion animal behavioural therapy, time-sensitive foundation training and remedial training as essential services
While we all wholeheartedly support the measures our government has put in place to contain the spread of COVID19 in SA the impact of the lockdown regulations is causing havoc in our personal lives and the lives of our companion animals. Job losses, reduced income, home schooling and restricted movement to name but a few are causing abnormal levels of stress in many households. As a result our companion animals are also increasingly struggling to cope with the stressful home environments that many of them find themselves in. Existing anxiety related problem behaviours can intensify and new ones can develop. The South African Veterinary Association has stated in a recent press statement “We have noted an increase in animals being placed with animal shelters during the lockdown period for reasons that may include the change in economic or physical circumstance to care for the animal." Recently acquired puppies are missing out on vital and time sensitive socialisation and training which can have a detrimental impact on various skills that they will need as adult dogs. Animal behaviour therapy and training are not classified as essential services and even though professionals in this field are profoundly willing to assist we are prohibited to ease the strain many owners of companion animals and animal welfare are facing during these difficult times. If you agree that animal behaviour therapy and training should be an essential service please support this petition by signing and sharing.

Petition to give voting rights to congregation so they can elect trustee at Abu Bakr Masjid Southall. Everyone has the right to become a trustee from grassroots by nomination by the mausaliees.
Salaam All We have put this petition in place as the current Trustees of the Masjid are not fully open to the malpractice which occur in the Masjid. You as the public have contributed over a million pound towrds the masjid since it was formed. However 4 out of the 7 current trustees have sort to stay on and not involve any member of the public to join the board. The new amendment states that the current trustees can elect or stay on for a period of 3 and after 3 years they can be re selcted, whe

Save Abu Bakr Masjid Southall From Fitna
Please SAVE AbuBakar Masjid from Fitna Since post lockdown a small minority has instigated a campaign of lies and baseless accusations against the 4 Trustees of the masjid. They also accused Imam of committing fraud and upon challenge were forced to apologise for false accusations. This is against the good conduct of a Muslim and should not be tolerated within the community. AbuBakar Masjid Southall has been serving the community at large through a good high school for girls, brilliant facilitie

Locals against Aldi on Mon Bank
At the end of June residents of Mon Bank were greeted with diggers and workers from Aldi assessing the grounds at the front of our estate (looking towards Belle Vue Park). Upon contacting Aldi we've been told that a public consultation will be taking place, however we would like to prevent this proposed supermarket from progressing any further NOW! To date local residents have not been officially informed of any plans, there is a tiny piece of paper which Aldi put on a post near the area confirm

Objection to PA20/05207
I object to this planning application. A section of the proposed trail leaves the old track bed north of Trewerry and heading south carves through a steep gradient green field to the Sustrans Cycle route 32. I do not know of any impediment that precludes the Council proposing the trail to follow the old track bed to Trewerry road crossing. Using the track bed as the route is consistent with the Council messaging about reusing existing infrastructure, lowering the visual impact of the trail by us

ZEBRA CROSSING
There is no way of crossing the road by the entrance of Ewell West train station and as a resident who Lives opposite and has to crossthe road every day to get to the train station from the flats opposite and next to the alley it's impossible. I know some of the school mums from St Clements Cross to go down the alley and with young children it's very dangerous. I'm petitioning to get a zebra crossing put there for access to the flats and the alley opposite the station.
