I need to be honest with you as this has been a critique on AI that I should address!

I'm not someone who usually puts their hand up. I don't want to stand out. This petition is out of character for me.

But doing nothing isn't a privilege I'd give myself.

How I feel – even when I don't show it:

When I compose anything emotive, I show no upset. No tears. That's not because I don't feel it. It's because my autism doesn't show emotion the way others expect.

Inside, the overwhelming anxiety is constant. It's been going on for so long that it leads to depressive thoughts. I don't know how to switch it off. The trolling. The smear campaign. The sleepless nights. The anxiety before I even reach my plot.

Why I use AI:

I have Higher Functioning Autism. I struggle with reading, writing, and processing large amounts of information. Without AI, I would have given up months ago.

I use AI to:

· Organise and summarise evidence
· Reference-check what breaches the law
· Keep track of dates, emails, and incidents
· Turn chaos into something I can understand

What this petition means to me:

This petition is my hope. It's the thing that might bring closure more quickly. Because I don't know how much longer I can carry this.

What we've achieved together:

· 345 signatures
· Police involved (Essex Police incident 42/54633/26)
· LGSCO complaint reopened
· Evidence file compiled – witness statements, emails, council admissions

What we're fighting for:

· A 92-year-old war veteran, going blind, isolated so they could take his plot
· Disabled plot holders threatened with eviction without anyone asking about their health
· A gay plot holder facing homophobic harassment – the committee did nothing
· The AGM cancelled – no elections for over a year. They cannot be voted out.

Please share this petition with one person who believes that doing nothing isn't an option.

Thank you. Every signature matters. This petition is my hope for closure.
