Petition to ban Sun Beds. Skin cancer rates continue to soar in the UK


Recommended Posts

Skin cancer rates continue to soar in the UK. Melanoma kills 7 people per day. The treatment of skin cancers can be very expensive and costly to our already overstretched NHS.


Experts in Australia say that rates of melanoma have reduced since they banned the use of commercial sunbeds. It is estimated by 2025, treatment of skin cancers will cost the NHS ?465m a year. A ban would indirectly support our NHS. Melanoma can be a deadly disease. Since we launched the first petition for a ban in 2018, 3430 people died of melanoma. Some of them were sunbed users.


Please sign the petition to ban Sun Beds

    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
    • Another recommendation for Maurice. He did a great job replacing a leaking radiator. He is polite, thoughtful and efficient. Thank you very much.
