WHY THIS MATTERS The A832 is a vital lifeline road. The proposed daytime closure and very limited ‘amnesty’ windows will isolate households and disrupt essential services (GP/community nursing visits, postal and courier deliveries, trades, home care), harm local businesses and tourism, and place avoidable pressure on emergency access. NOTES FOR SIGNERS If you live, work, or regularly travel the A832, please add your village/town and postcode in your comment to show local impact. Please sign and share: the current proposed daytime closure of the A832 at Dundonnell (27 Oct–mid Dec 2025 & Jan–Mar 2026) is unworkable, inadequate and unacceptable. We’re asking for ONE LANE WITH LIGHTS, or longer/more frequent access windows, or night works. Local life and livelihoods depend on a fair plan. DISCLAIMER This petition seeks a safe, workable access plan during SSEN works that protects community life and local businesses.

Right now in Northern Ireland, people in mental health crisis are being told by GP practices to “call back tomorrow” — even when they say they are suicidal. This is dangerous, degrading, and risks lives. Mental health emergencies are just as serious as a heart attack or broken bone. Yet too often, people who bravely ask for help are turned away, leaving them feeling invisible and hopeless. Some may survive the night — but others may not. Northern Ireland has one of the highest suicide rates in the UK. We cannot afford a system that ignores people at their most vulnerable. By joining this campaign, you are helping demand a compassionate, safe, and urgent response to mental health crises in GP practices. Together, we can push for reforms that will save lives and ensure dignity for everyone.

The floral clock is a famous city landmark and has appeared on many postcards over the years. It would be a crime to get rid of Hove's once-beautiful floral clock and the community have been given no say in this council decision.

  Edgbaston Reservoir and Summerfield Park are two of Birmingham’s most loved community spaces. Families, children, joggers, cyclists, and nature lovers gather here daily to enjoy fresh air and green surroundings. But our parks face a serious problem: overflowing bins and litter left behind.  When bins are too small and spill over, trash ends up on the ground, blowing into the water, damaging the environment, and harming wildlife. Foxes, birds, and other animals eat discarded food and packaging—putting their health and survival at risk. Visitors are also left with dirty, unpleasant spaces instead of clean, welcoming parks.  Overflowing bins don’t just look bad—they’re dangerous. Plastics and rubbish can blow into the reservoir, polluting the water and harming fish and plant life. This issue is not about people caring less—it’s about not having enough proper facilities to dispose of waste responsibly. The current bins are simply too small to cope with the amount of rubbish left during busy days, especially in the summer months. Also,squirrels and rodents are scattering rubbish, creating hygiene issues. We, the undersigned, are calling on Birmingham City Council and local authorities to: 1. Install larger-capacity trash cans that are rodent proof at Edgbaston Reservoir and Summerfield Park. 2. Increase the frequency of waste collection, especially during weekends and summer. 3. Provide educational signage reminding visitors that this is home to wildlife, and we are only guests. By taking these steps, we can:   • Protect wildlife from harm. • Preserve the natural beauty of our parks. • Encourage responsible waste disposal. • Create safer, cleaner spaces for everyone in the community. Why is this important? Edgbaston Reservoir and Summerfield Park are more than just green spaces—they are community lifelines. Families gather here for picnics, children play, joggers and cyclists enjoy the paths, and nature thrives around us. But every time bins overflow, these beautiful places are spoiled with rubbish on the ground, food waste scattered everywhere, and wildlife put at risk. It’s heartbreaking to see our parks—spaces that should bring peace and joy—turned into dumping grounds simply because the bins are too small. Bigger bins and more frequent collections are simple solutions that can make a big difference. Why should others join? Because this isn’t just about litter—it’s about respect. Respect for nature, respect for our community, and respect for the spaces we all share. Clean parks mean safer play areas for children, healthier homes for wildlife, and welcoming green spaces for everyone to enjoy. What I’d say to a friend: “I go to the reservoir and see rubbish piled up higher than the bins, food rotting on the ground, and animals scavenging in dangerous waste. It makes me sad because this is supposed to be a place where we feel proud to bring our kids, our families, and our friends. Imagine if every time you went to relax in nature, it felt like stepping into a landfill. That’s not fair to us, and it’s not fair to the wildlife that calls these parks home. That’s why I care. And that’s why I’m asking you to care too.” Our parks are treasures—but they need our care. We urge Birmingham City Council to act now. Bigger bins that are rodent proof mean cleaner parks, healthier wildlife, and a stronger community. OUR PARKS, OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Because Bridge Park was built by the community, for the community, its closure would be a betrayal of decades of sacrifice, vision, and hard work by Black pioneers who transformed a derelict site into a centre of excellence.  If we do not act now, we allow injustice to prevail and our legacy to be erased. This is not just about a building. It is about truth, justice, ownership, and the right of a people to govern what they built. We must stand together or risk losing everything.  1. Bridge Park Was Built by Us, Not Given to Us This is not council property — it is people’s property. Built by Black youth from the ashes of neglect, Bridge Park stands as a monument to vision, sacrifice, and self-determination. To allow its closure is to dishonour the blood, sweat, and brilliance of its founders. 2. Losing Bridge Park Means Losing Our History Bridge Park is living history. It tells the story of how a forgotten generation turned a dumping ground into a legacy of excellence. Erasing it would be like burning the pages of our community's most significant chapter. 3. This Is a Matter of Justice, Not Just Property To close Bridge Park is to reward injustice. Brent Council’s actions violate trust, trample agreements, and ignore the moral and legal rights of those who built it. Signing the petition is a way to stand up for what is right. 4. The Fight Is Bigger Than Brent – It's a National Struggle Bridge Park is the largest Black-owned community asset in the United Kingdom. If we lose this, it sets a dangerous precedent for every other Black-led project in the UK. What happens here affects us all. 5. We Are Protecting the Next Generation Our children deserve to inherit opportunity, not injustice. Bridge Park was created to provide young people with a space to dream, grow, and lead. We must guard this legacy so they are not left with loss. 6. The Council Has Shown Dishonesty and Disrespect Brent Council has failed to act transparently, legally, or ethically. Signing the petition sends a clear message that the people will no longer be silent in the face of deception, bullying, or broken promises. 7. This Is About Ownership and Power Who owns our future? The people or the politicians? Signing this petition is not just about saving a centre, it’s about reclaiming control over what we built and fought for. 8. The Founders Must Be Honoured, Not Erased The founders of Bridge Park are still here. They are elders, visionaries, and survivors. To close the site is to spit on their contribution and pretend their efforts meant nothing. We must defend them while they can still witness our support. 9. Community Unity Is Our Greatest Weapon This fight unites all backgrounds: African, Caribbean, Asian, White, young, and old. Signing the petition shows that we are one voice, one heart, and one unstoppable movement. Together, we are stronger than any council. 10. Bridge Park Is More Than a Building, It’s Our Crown Jewel This is our legacy. Our symbol. Our crown. Letting it go without a fight would be a betrayal of our ancestors and an injustice to our descendants. We must rise now with courage, clarity, and collective power.

Craft Coop CIC brings craft-making and community together by running town-centre shops that showcase and support local artisans and makers, and by hosting art workshops and outreach activities in care homes and community groups. We also organise seasonal events and school partnerships, supporting local charities with in-shop fundraising, whilst engaging in broader community initiatives.

Cancelling Neighbouhood Plan NP and technical support grants (via Locality) is a means to stop communities having the ability to foster community empowerment and self-help.   The loss of Neighbourhood Planning (NP) and technical support grants is a fundamental shift that risks shattering the core principles of Localism just as they have begun to bear fruit.   Without central support:   • Communities and their Town & Parish Councils, with limited budgets, will likely be unable to adequately fund, and provide the technical knowledge, to undertake a Neighbourhood Plan   • Communities in deprived or rural areas - most in need of shaping local growth - will be disproportionately disadvantaged   • Developers will gain disproportionate influence, with local policy-making weakened, at precisely the moment that central and regional planning is being streamlined The implications are significant:   • End of equitable NP access: Wealthier or better-resourced communities may still produce NPs; others will struggle to start or update them   • Loss of technical advice: this is absolutely critical for navigating environmental assessment requirements, site assessments, and policy compliance — without this, many draft NPs would not meet required basic legal tests. This will have the greatest impact on communities trying to shape their own futures, because common sense and the democratic voice will be significantly muted.   • Organic developments - that would keep the life blood pumping in smaller communities - will now either not be allocated or will be determined strategically where the local voice does not necessarily prevail.   • It totally undermines the Localism (2011) Act’s intent: that communities should have a real say in where and how development happens.

The Bath House is more than just a local issue, it’s a symbol of what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead. At a time when public spaces are disappearing and decisions are made behind closed doors, The Bath House shows that another way is not only possible, it’s already working. People should join this campaign because if we allow this space to be taken away, we send a message that community-led, inclusive, and self-sustaining projects don’t matter, even when they succeed. Standing up for The Bath House is standing up for fairness, for transparency, and for a future where people, not just profits, shape our cities and the world we live in.

In the heart of Nelson, we've all come to love the tranquility that our town offers. However, an issue has been increasingly disturbing our peace – the rise of the Volkswagen UP Gti cars on our streets. As an inhabitant who cares deeply about maintaining the charm of this town, I am moved to address this issue seriously. To me, and to many others, these cars are not just vehicles, they resemble a chaotic interruption to our daily lives. The sound emitted by the Volkswagen UP Gti can be best described as irritating - comparable to someone loudly sneezing incessantly. This constant noise pollution disrupts the serenity we so value and negatively impacts our mental well-being. Furthermore, these vehicles are often described by many, including myself, as visually unappealing. Their box-like appearance blends poorly with the aesthetic grace of our picturesque town, leading to a stark contrast that is difficult to ignore. Beyond personal discomfort, it is important to recognize the broader implications. Studies have shown that noise pollution is linked to increased stress levels, which can contribute to severe health issues including hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Given these impacts, it's imperative that we take action to prevent such detriments to our community's health. Moreover, aesthetics matter. The picturesque scenery of Nelson should remain unmarred by vehicles that disrupt its visual harmony. The Union of Concerned Scientists, among other studies, highlight how integrating aesthetically pleasing elements into community planning enhances property values and contributes to residents’ satisfaction and pride. Let’s protect our cherished town and ensure a harmonious living environment for all residents. Sign this petition to show your support for a ban on Volkswagen UP Gti vehicles in Nelson and help us preserve the beauty and tranquility of our town.

Public green spaces are important community assets These public recreational spaces provide outdoor sports grounds for local people and those further afield. These are places for the community to meet, walk and spend time outside in nature. They include playing fields for sport and recreation, childrens’ outdoor play areas, a sheltered garden, boules pitch, community orchards and meadows. These green spaces are a vital asset for our physical and mental health in otherwise built-up neighbourhoods.    Seaford seriously lacks public green spaces  After decades of development, there are only four pockets of publicly accessible sports and recreation space left in Seaford. For a town with a population of over 23,000, this is a worrying deficit. The Covid-19 pandemic showed us how much we need our neighbourhood green spaces where young and old can feel uplifted by the wildflower meadows and beauty of nature, walk their dogs, play football, boules, or simply hang out with friends and decompress - for free.  Seaford Town Council (STC) is in the process of applying for Deeds of Dedication to protect the other two green spaces at The Crouch and The Salts. However, this process requires the formal consent of Lewes District Council (LDC). STC also agreed to ask LDC to apply to Fields in Trust to protect the recreation grounds at the Downs Leisure Centre and Walmer Road. Meanwhile, the town continues to grow in size, with the threat of building developments hanging over these precious community spaces. Recent development on local playing fields at Newlands have failed to make up for the loss of outdoor recreational space.  Our parks and open spaces need legal protection   Fields in Trust provide a simple way to shield these vital green spaces from development by creating a legally binding Deed of Dedication. This protects green spaces from being built on, future-proofing Seaford's last remaining spaces for us, and future generations, to enjoy. In a climate crisis, with biodiversity threatened more than ever, what could be more important than protecting these irreplaceable green spaces?     The current Government has committed to accelerating house building, together with weakening local planning rules and creating larger, more distant Unitary authorities. With plans for local government to be reorganised, there is no guarantee that any commitment to keep these spaces for recreational use will be honoured by future local governments. As a result, local people could have less of a say about how they are managed and protected. Precious green spaces like Walmer Road and the Downs Leisure Centre recreation grounds are vulnerable to asset-stripping by cash-strapped councils to dispose of and sell to developers.   Remember plans for the Medical Hub?   Cast your mind back to 2018. The previous Council administration tried to build a medical hub and Tesco store on the recreation ground at the Downs Leisure Centre at a time when Seaford's Neighbourhood Plan specifically ruled out development on existing recreation grounds. (LDC has since offered a viable site in town for developing an improved medical centre.)   Council officers have said that existing planning regulations are robust enough to protect both sites from development. In Seaford's Neighbourhood Plan outdoor playing space is protected. But this can be overruled if there is insufficient land for local housing or other development. There simply is no guarantee that national or local planning rules will be enough to protect our green spaces - but a Deed of Dedication would protect them forever. It's up to us to persuade Lewes District Council to act. All we need is 1,500 signatures on this petition to present it to a Full Council meeting. Please sign this petition to help protect our community green spaces.                  

The Trafalgar Tavern isn’t just a pub – it’s a vital part of Greenwich’s cultural, economic, and social fabric. Its outdoor seating area allows locals and visitors to enjoy one of London’s most iconic riverside views, boosting footfall and supporting a thriving hospitality sector. The enforcement notice threatens to remove that space without evidence of harm, despite no formal complaints, no safety issues, and no actual obstruction to cyclists or pedestrians. The enforcement notice issued by the Council is not justified on planning grounds, and its removal would do serious harm to the local community, public enjoyment of the riverside, and the economic viability of a historic and much-loved venue. If this enforcement succeeds, it sets a damaging precedent. It sends a message that popular, well-managed community spaces can be shut down due to vague, unsubstantiated claims, even when those spaces are celebrated by the public and add real value to the area. 1. No evidence of obstruction to Cyclists or Pedestrians The Trafalgar Tavern’s outdoor area occupies space that is already closed off to cyclists by design. The cycle route along this section of the Thames Path diverts inland before it reaches the Tavern, specifically to protect public safety and respect the Tavern’s longstanding riverside use. Cyclists are not permitted to ride through this section, meaning that the claim of “restricted access to cyclists” is factually incorrect and misleading. Likewise, pedestrian access remains fully open. There is a clear, unobstructed walkway between the seating area and the river, allowing all members of the public to enjoy the waterfront. This is supported by the lack of formal complaints on record about obstruction in this area, despite many thousands of daily users. 2. No demonstrable harm from ‘visual clutter’ The seating area is part of the character and charm of this riverside location. It features coordinated furniture in keeping with the heritage environment. The Council’s claim of “visual clutter” is highly subjective and not supported by any measurable impact on local views or enjoyment. On the contrary, public engagement shows overwhelming appreciation for the seating area’s vibrancy, views, and contribution to the area’s appeal. 3. Strong Community use and zero history of Nuisance The Trafalgar Tavern has hosted outdoor seating for years without any significant record of anti-social behaviour, complaints, or safety issues. The area is family-friendly, well-managed, and operates within its licensing terms. This is not an unregulated pop-up. It is a professionally run, responsible hospitality venue serving locals and tourists alike. 4. Disproportionate economic impact  Removing the outdoor area will drastically reduce the venue’s operating capacity and threaten local jobs and revenue. This enforcement action could force the closure of a historic and iconic business, affecting not only staff but also local supply chains and tourism. 5. No Obstruction to emergency vehicles or essential access  There is no evidence that emergency vehicle access or operational access is impeded by the outdoor seating. The space is not a highway thoroughfare and is managed carefully to ensure safe passage as needed. We respectfully request that the Planning Inspectorate consider these facts and representations and uphold the appeal in full.

SAVE OUR SEATS. Why should others join the campaign? Because this isn’t just about one pub, it’s about protecting public access to vibrant, safe, and welcoming outdoor spaces. If planners start targeting successful venues like this without clear justification, other businesses and community hubs could be next. Whether you’re a cyclist, a pedestrian, a resident, customer, or a visitor, this campaign is about: • Defending common sense planning that balances public access with local vibrancy. • Supporting local jobs, tourism, and independent businesses. • Keeping riverside areas lively, beautiful, and accessible: not sterile and empty. We’re not asking for special treatment. We’re asking for fairness. No complaints. No evidence of harm. No reason to take this space away. Let’s make sure a small group of objectors doesn’t speak louder than the thousands who enjoy and support this space every week. Join us. Speak up. Save our seats.
