Keep swimming at Cowm Reservoir, Whitworth
PLEASE HELP TO KEEP US SWIMMING IN COWM RESERVOIR:
United Utilities have banned swimming in all reservoirs and have informed us that Whitwoth water sports centre at Cowm Reservoir is not an exception. This is despite the reservoir having been used in a safe responsible manner by many athletes including local Triathlon and swimming clubs all summer. The 'Cowm Clash Triathlon' was held on the reservoir in June which was a huge success, not only for the athletes and their families, but also for the local people of Whitworth.
Cowm Res IS an exception because it is under constant supervision. Swimmers prearrange swims so that they can be supervised, and only swim in a small section of the Reservoir for safety. Safety boats are also sent out with the swimmers. The water sports centre has its own insurance, so United Utilities would not be affected if there was an accident.
Accidents usually happen when people/children jump into reservoirs 'for a laugh'. I am NOT suggesting we make all swimming acceptable at the res, but I am asking you to sign this petition so that responsible, professional athletes can continue their open water training, under supervision, and having prearranged this with the water sports centre. Some of the athletes are going to World Championships and NEED this training, it is essential for them to do well. If we cannot fight this, there will be a lot of very disappointed people. Please show your support by signing the petition.

Save Cayley Kiosk
Conwy County are going to demolish the kiosks along Rhos Promenade without offering any alternatives. This will put people out of work and destroy livelyhoods. Also, the Cayley Kiosk provides a social lifeline for quite a number of people who live locally and meet and socialise 364 days of the year. Please sign the petition to retain the kiosk or for Conwy County to offer a realistic viable alternative.

Stop The Migrant Channel Crossings
June 2021 was the worst month on record for illegal Channel crossings, with 2,100 arrivals. This graph, produced by Migration Watch, highlights the escalating scale of the problem by showing reported Channel migrant crossings for the first six months of each year, 2018-2021: The likelihood is that about 20,000 migrants will cross the Channel from Europe in 2021, to add to the 46,000 who are known to have crossed over the previous three years. And these figures will significantly underestimate

The removal of Jeremy Vine
Jeremy Vine needs to go. Recently stated on national TV in respect of the covid vaccines "what can we do apart from hold them down by force" this kind of language is abhorrent and totally unacceptable to a large portion of the public that have received none stop coercive and threatening messages throughout this vaccine campaign, it is now weaponised. People are losing their jobs, their income, their homes. A presenter who is meant to be impartial should not be in a position of influence who cle

Local Residents Representation against the Glenkingie Terrace planning application appeal
Glenkingie Terrace planning application appeal. The developer has appealed against the decision of the Highland council’s refusal for planning permission for 18 houses and flats at Glenkingie Terrace / Kilmallie Road Green. This now means the decision is outwith local hands and will be considered by Scottish Government officials in Edinburgh. Planning was refused by Highland Council in April 2021, with Ben Thompson stating that the impact on existing resident parking and green space were too gr

The People V HM Government for False Advertising surrounding Covid19
On the 8th February, I will be launching a Group Litigation Order (GLO) against the UK Government for False Advertising surrounding the Covid19 campaigns. Until people start being held accountable, this will never end. Although I only need 18 signatures to file this order, I believe it will strengthen the case for the Judge to see how many people are backing this fight. Since March 2020, the UK Government have spent billions of pounds of tax payers money on illegal advertising surrounding Covid1

It's time for the Minor Injuries Unit at Cossham Hospital
In 2014 a petition was raised by the late Reg Bennett and the Reformed Save Cossham Hospital Group calling for the promised minor injury unit (MIU) at Cossham Hospital in Kingswood to be opened. The petition received cross-party political support and received 18,000 signatories. The Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) responded by implementing a two-year trial offering minor injury treatment at GP surgeries instead, claiming the costs were half of the anticipated £1m a year for the MIU at Cossham

Review the Alun School policy - students wearing piercings
I am asking the Alun school to reconsider the schools policy regarding piercings. For the following reasons; Sixth formers and staff members are permitted to have piercings- If all students are equal why can sixth formers wear them but other years can’t? Piercings, like hair dye, are often a form of self expression. Having piercings often makes others look different and stand out from the crowd, this could teach people not to discriminate others based on how they look/express themselves. All
