• Stop 3.6% Increase on Southern Rail Fares in 2018
    For the past 2 years Southern Rail commuters have had to endure a horrendous train service with endless strikes, cancellations and train shortages. There have been people leaving their jobs, moving home and missing out on time with their family and loved ones and all because of the incompetency of the service and the people running it. Why should we now have to pay even more? There should be a significant reduction in the price to go some way towards compensating commuters for the misery they have faced and are still facing with no end in sight.

  • SOMERSET NHS under threat - sign and take action!
    This is a big step towards breaking up the NHS in Somerset. It splits up the NHS family, can make services worse for patients, and puts staff at risk from attacks on their pay and conditions. Together we can stop the Trust’s scheme. To do that we need the strength of EVERYONE. Please sign our petition, share with family and friends, and across social media. Let’s get as many signatures as possible. The Trust is currently refusing to consult and engage with trade unions and the public! The 350 workers the Trust is targeting are employed in Estates and Facilities. But if this plan goes through, other departments will follow. Hospital bosses want to make terms and conditions more “flexible” – and we all know that’s code for cutbacks. YDH’s claim that this scheme reduces their VAT payments is misguided. More Parliamentary scrutiny is falling on NHS Trusts who attempt to lower their tax payments. It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul – it doesn’t create any more money for public services. The only people making a profit are consultancy firms “advising” the Trust.

  • Please replace plastic fruit and veg bags with paper
    Our big supermarkets stock small plastic bags for customers to select their own fruit and vegetables. These bags are usually thrown away after one use, adding to the avalanche of disposal plastics that are littering our oceans and harming our wildlife. It didn't use to be this way. Greengrocers used to provide customers with paper bags that were biodegradable. Let's bring back paper bags. Small changes can make a big difference.

  • Revise UK law to make Non-Biodegradable Cigarette filters illegal.
    "Six million cigarette butts are dropped on the City's [London] streets every year and we spend £3.8 million cleaning it up, it's no small problem."[2] Cigarette butts are the most common form of anthropogenic (man-made) litter in the world, as approximately 5.6 trillion cigarettes are smoked every year worldwide. Of those it is estimated that 4.5 trillion cigarette butts become litter every year. [3][4] If we are to promote the United Kingdom as a 'climate-conscious' nation, we must be willing to make implementations that go further than Congestion Charges, Renewable-Energy quotas, and CO2 emissions controls; it stands to reason that changes to everyday materials and consumption, creates visible ripples. In an age where environmental policy is in a constant tug of war between skepticism and economic interest, a simple measure such as this would set a cost-effective benchmark for other nations. One out every 5 pieces of litter encountered, is a cigarette butt[5]; imagine a world where within one generation, our children would never have to see another wasted filter ever again.

  • Urgent Review of Evacuation Procedure at Westfield Stratford City
    With today's threat of terror attacks, it is absolutely vital that Westfield Stratford City has sufficient security staff to implement a safe, co-ordinated evacuation in the event of an emergency. On Saturday 11th November, my 70 year Mother was injured and separated from my 2 young children when they were caught up in a stampede of mass panic, as thousands of people ran for their lives following an incident at the centre. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/westfield-stratford-mass-panic-as-shopping-centre-evacuated-in-fire-alert-a3688671.html

  • SAVE The WHOLEFOODS Supermarket in Cheltenham
    People shop at Wholefoods Supermarket in Cheltenham for many reasons. Healthy foods that aren't available at other supermarkets, environmentally considered products for cleaning, beauty, health, food to support those with food intolerances and other dietary requirements and historically, responsibly sourced goods for gifts. The restaurant serves a reasonably priced choice of healthy foods and drinks which serve the majority of dietary needs; it is mostly full. Wholefoods Supermarket in Cheltenham has become a community hub meeting the needs of many parts of society as an education centre and meeting place and there is nothing else like it in the area. Lastly, the staff are in a class of their own, having the skills and knowledge required to answer the kind of questions likely to be asked in a natural health store.

  • Save The Salt House Abbey Rd!
    The Salt House has been a public house since 1872 and has now been sold to property developers who wish to turn it into luxury flats and offices.This is such a sadly familiar story in London. We have to stop developers tearing apart what gives London it's pulse and character. The Salt House is one of the few remaining local pubs in the area and has many long term regulars who love it dearly. It is also home for the key staff members and their family who live above it and a secure job for many more. It would be a travesty if this beautiful Victorian pub was granted change of use and disappeared after over a century and a half.

  • Removal of the #gategate
    "The Allam Family have removed access from a public footpath to the KCOM Stadium in Hull with a large metal gate which is locked at certain times of the day and night. They claimed they were advised by North East Counter Terrorism Unit to install the gate. However, recently Hull City Council officials have seen this document and nowhere does it state a gate had to be installed. Not only is this an inconvenience to the public, there is a full time college on the grounds of the stadium as well as shops which employees use the footpath to secure an easy and safe journey home. This is important as we want the public and employees to have a safe incoming and outgoing journey to the KCOM Stadium grounds."
