Doncaster Road Traffic/Crossing (Oakhill Primary Academy area)
We, as parents & carers strive to protect our children on a daily basis but when the simple act of taking our children to school becomes a risk then something needs to be done.The Doncaster Road Crossing outside Oakhill Primary Academy has been left without a crossing patrol now for over a year and nothing seems to be getting done to minimise the risk of someone getting run over / killed.When parents and carers approach the crossing to take our children to school, it quickly becomes a game o

SAVE OUR COMMUNITY GARDEN
The City of Edinburgh Council have issued a threatening letter to remove all furniture and garden equipment within 7 days from their "amenity space" - our Community Garden - citing the use of such items are not covered liably! (Presumably a child climbing and falling from a council tree is covered ..perhaps?) Over recent years our neighbourhood has transformed, maintained and made use of this once neglected empty green communal space, now providing a welcoming Community Garden enjoyed by all who

Pro lingua Latina in Jyväskylä
Latinan kielen säilyttäminen Jyväskylän yliopistossa Jyväskylän yliopisto on lakkauttamassa latinan oppiaineen kokonaan. Jos näin todella tapahtuu, katkeaa perinne, jota on vaikea palauttaa enää myöhemmin, ja yliopisto ottaa askeleen pois sivistysyliopiston ihanteesta. Latinan kielestä hyötyvät monet tahot, ja vastaavasti näiden tahojen toiminta vaarantuu jos latina poistuu. Latinan tarvitsijoita löytyy filosofian opiskelijoista historian tutkijoihin ja kuoroista yliopiston viestintään, eikä ta

Say NO to Clarendon Park Residents Parking
We, the residents of Clarendon Park, oppose any form of Parking Scheme being introduced into the Castle Ward catchment. The Council are borrowing at least £300,000+ in order to introduce the scheme into the area. The money made from the parking permits only serves to stand as an additional tax back to the Council without improving the situation. Local residents and businesses have not been well informed to date with the Council's plans with consultation leaflets not being delivered-the final vot

Stop Exploitation of Actors on CCP
Hi there, I have created this petition to submit to actors casting site Casting Call Pro to persuade them to stop the posting of exploitive jobs on their site at the daily rate of £55.00 a day. Most acting jobs involve the actor to be there for around ten to twelve hours and at a day rate of £55.00 this is well below the national minimum wage. When I contacted CCP regarding this, they state that they are happy with the day rate of £55.00 as for an eight hour day; this is in line with the natio

Save Lloyds Bank Mevagissey
Lloyds Bank has announced today (10 November 2016), that it is closing its branch in Mevagissey from March 2017. Over the years we have seen the gradual erosion of services away from our village but this is a step too far! Just this year we have also lost a full time dedicated Post Office in the centre of the village and the postbox was literally ripped out and has not been replaced yet. This has to stop! Many elderly and vulnerable people live nearby who have relied on having a local friendly b

Bring back November graduation at Teesside University
After 3 long years doing a degree and working so hard Teesside University Student Nurses and some other courses are being told when they finish at the end of September 2017 they will not be able to graduate until July 2018.
