Ebola treatment volunteer medal/award.To volunteer to travel to an Ebola infected country, in order to treat patients infected with Ebola virus, takes a level of bravery which is beyond words, and is equally comparable with many military bravery medals. That high level of altruistic bravery cannot go unrecognized by the country at large.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tim Peers

Ban Geo-EngineeringBecause substances are being sprayed from planes into the environment which spreads in the wind and drops down to earth. All who breath are affected by these projects and until we know what harm or good these projects do then they need to be stopped. All those long lasting trails in the sky are NOT condensation trails but trails of some sort of chemical substance. With the continued crazy weather conditions worldwide and the increase in ill health amongst humans, birds are dropping from the sky, whales and dolphins are washing up in areas they are not supposed to, bees are dying off, fish are dying in record numbers, surely this is no coincidence. I did a rain water test in my back garden and the aluminium content was a staggering 990ppm, over 700ppm above the deemed safe levels. This has to stop now for the sake of all our children and for the sake of our planet.176 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alex Modestou

OFCOM Apply media rules fairlyAs part of its claim to be a modern democracy, the UK has a nominal commitment to defend freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This implies accepting the right of those with alternative views to have their voices heard, even if those views challenge governments and vested economic interests.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Carline

Restrict fast food outlets and place health warnings in the windows and/or doorsFast food is a health hazard. It is definitely unhealthy, non-nutritious, and contains huge amounts of fat. It is dangerous to health, causing obesity and heart attacks amongst other problems. Far too many people are using them for the source of their main meal of the day. The health problems caused cost the National Health Service millions of pounds a year. As with smoking, prevention is better than cure.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rudi Affolter

Make Barrowland Park PermanentBarrowland Park provides a public open space for Glasgow that acted as a key gateway to the east end of the city - on a key route to Commonwealth Games venues. Barrowland Park is a typical example of what a commonwealth games legacy should be. It cost £725,000 of public money and is an excellent example of what was needed to make the east end of Glasgow more welcoming. The park is well used and many visitors from all over the country as well as locals have commented on how it enhances the Gallowgate. To remove the park would be an unbelievable waste of public money!6,574 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Thomas McMahon

Government match funding for Children in NeedTo support vulnerable and sick children and their families. There are many dreadful diseases and afflictions that mercifully most of us have neither knowledge or experience of. The NHS can only do so much; often there is no effective treatment or cure. The children and their families have to endure and need support to do so. Quality of life for children with life limiting or terminal illness if so important. Support for their families and siblings is vital. Sadly too many children have no or inadequate families and as a society we need to support them to develop into mature citizens who are "whole" and can lead fulfilling and worthwhile lives not only to their own benefit but for the good of society as a whole64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elizabeth McInnes

Immoral tactics of Teignbridge District CouncilTeignbridge District Council intends to issue a compulsory purchase order to force a a farmer off his farm in Devon so that they can use the land for a country park for SANGS (sustainable alternative natural green-space). The farm land has been farmed by the same family for over 60 years, and is a mixture of arable, sheep and cows. The council maintain that they are required to offset the loss of land a couple of miles away, and that they need to provide alternative green space. However, putting a park on this farmer’s land would require car parks to be built, possibly another road, and people using it would need to drive there. Warren Farm is adjacent to South West Water’s sewage works, and we understand that Natural England advises that ‘Sangs’ should not be in close proximity. (Appendix 4: Natural England SANGS Guidance dated 03.07.07, "SANGS must be free from unpleasant intrusions (e.g. sewage treatment works smells etc"). Cllr John Goodey, of Teignbridge District Council, states that Warren Farm would be the ideal location for the SANGS (necessary because of the 1,200 new homes being built in Dawlish), and that it ticks all the boxes for Natural England. As well as being adjacent to a sewage works for South West Water, it is Grade 1 agricultural land. In Exminster, still managed by TDC, the land for SANGS was provided by the developers when they built all the new houses there. If Cllr Goodey states that this SANGS location is ideal as it would protect the nature reserve at Dawlish Warren, why did Teignbridge D.C. give permission for houses to built there a few years ago - Sandpipers Court - if they are so concerned. The farm has been farmed with countryside preservation to the fore for the last decade, and it is a habitat and feeding ground of the endangered cirl bunting, and also the endangered snipe. The way that the Warren Farm is managed benefits the local environment and wildlife through countryside stewardship, and should be promoted and recognised. How can it be morally justified that a council can force a farmer off his land and out of business in order to provide land for green space in order that developers can build houses on other green space? The land is being usefully used for agriculture, and is not an eyesore, and there are public footpaths across and around some of the fields. It is both morally and ethically wrong to prevent a farmer from growing food on a well-managed farm in this world of food shortages. There is land currently for sale in close vicinity, why can the council not buy that land which is actually for sale? Another option would be to open up the Cofton woodland walks to the general public - the land is presently already parkland and goes down to the Warren, and this could be arranged with the owners without putting them out of business. Alternatively, Cllr Humphrey Clemens is a tenant farmer on farmland owned by Devon County Council, part of which is on the coast adjacent to Smugglers' Inn, and has excellent, possibly even better coastal views than Warren Farm. This land is already owned by Devon C.C., so should be a much cheaper option, and would have the added benefit of attracting people away from the Dawlish Warren nature reserve, and thereby protecting it. Britain...imports 40% of the total food consumed and the proportion is rising (http://www.foodsecurity.ac.uk/issue/uk.html, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council), so why are we getting rid of quality farmland, if this plan by Teignbridge DC goes ahead. If this compulsory purchase order of quality working farm-land is allowed to go ahead, what is there to prevent Teignbridge District Council issuing further compulsory purchase orders in the future? We the undersigned hereby oppose Teignbridge District Council's proposed compulsory purchase order of Warren Farm, and urge you to use your powers in Government to prevent this.3,515 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Alison Foden
