Subject of petition Give permission to Prestige Escape Rooms to reinstate their fascia signs We have had our planning application and appeal to keep our fascia signs denied by East Suffolk Council. Our signs are incredibly important to our business so that people are able to find us and so we can advertise our services to those passing-by. We bring thousands of people into the local area to visit our escape rooms which results in more income being brought into the town. We are also rated #1 on Tripadvisor for Things To Do in Lowestoft. We provide something new and exciting for people to do in their own town without having to travel to other bigger cities. We have received so many comments and messages from people saying how unhappy they are that we have been made to remove our signs and have been encouraged by the local residents to fight this decision, hence this petition! Our goal is to reach over 1200 signatures so the petition will get seen by the Full Council! We would like the council to grant us permission to reinstate our fascia signs on the front of our business. We note that they previously had an issue with the slight angle of the signs, so we propose that we will lay them flush with the brickwork above the sash windows. We also want this granted without further cost to us. As at 26 January 2023 – 714 signatures received |

Subject of petition "The beach has disappeared in front of the spa pavilion beach huts rather than find an acceptable resolution the council have terminated our licences. The beach huts have been in the same position for over 100 years and are oldest beach huts in the UK. Normally for 6 months of the year the huts spend the winter on the promenade, now apparently due to supposed complaints we cannot stay on the prom. There are many unanswered questions firstly why has nothing being done to rectify why the beach has washed away after £10 million was spent on groin works to hold the Beach in place. Please support our plight in keeping part of our National Heritage otherwise 44 huts will be removed forever." Number of signatures:

Subject of petition "What independent verification has East Suffolk obtained with regard to EDF Energy’s claims outlined at 1. and 2. below (upon which East Suffolk has relied in your draft Relevant Representation as benefits) that the potential development of Sizewell C twin reactor nuclear power station will: 1. Generate “a £100m pa investment boost to the regional economy during construction and £40m pa during operation” Given the uncertainty of what share East Suffolk may have from this regional investment and the learning from the NNLAG report published December 2019 where predicted levels of investment were not met and the value of ‘local’ contracts could not be adequately confirmed - at what level of investment would East Suffolk agree that the disbenefits of the project outweighed the benefits, and will East Suffolk Cabinet change this section of the Relevant Representation to reflect this? and 2. Meet the government’s criteria of “IROPI” with respect of contributing to the UK’s net zero target? Given that “IROPI” is described in the NPS as the ‘urgent need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to avoid significant, long-term adverse environmental, social and economic consequences, whilst maintaining security of energy supply and preserving public safety and public health, the Government believes that nuclear generation needs to be part of the future low carbon electricity generation mix’ - does East Suffolk Council not regard it as significant that EDF’s own documents reveal Sizewell C will not be positively contributing to net zero targets until 2040, and will East Suffolk Cabinet change this section of the Relevant Representation accordingly?” Number of signatures:
