Reinstate our lollipop man/ladySafety for our children. This is a really dangerous crossing with cars coming from a blind bend too fast and major building works about to start. It is a major crossing point for a lot of people. Since there has been an absence of a lollipop man/lady, it has become difficult to cross the road safely for the children. Also I have seen on several occasions children just running out into the road, sometimes oblivious to oncoming traffic! Luckily the driver wasn't one of the many idiots we get driving around these back roads like its a rally course! Please get a lollipop man/woman to help patrol the road before and after school times. The lollipop person provides a much needed service at a crucial crossing point. There has been a Lollipop lady/man there as far as I can remember back to the early 70's. Not to mention the countless health and safety risks that would be introduced by not having a lollipop lady/man. Without the added safety of a Lollipop lady/man there is a genuine concern that serious injury or a fatality may result. Please sign this as it is really important we don't lose these Lollipop Patrol.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Hughes

Stop the media blackout around Climate Change.This is important because members of the public and the business community are ill informed about the damage being caused to the world by the constant search for profit. They are complacent about the risks of climate change, and no one is telling people the truth. It is business as usual, when the reality is that we need to start making some serious changes to our way of life. We need to stop cutting down all the trees in order to grow money making crops. Business leaders need to learn to respect the environment.125 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alix Riley

Breastfeeding in publicI am a retired midwife and promoting breastfeeding has been one of the passions during my career. Much evidence exists on the health and financial benefits of breastfeeding. In 2012, Unicef published "Preventing disease and saving resources: The potential contribution of increasing breastfeeding rates in the UK" which looked at how raising breastfeeding rates could save the NHS money through improving health outcomes. Although overall breastfeeding rates (at birth) nationally has increased between 2005-2010, breastfeeding drop-off rates at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months continue to be high. Guidance recommends that for optimum health benefits, babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life (The Public Health England 2013 Report). The Equality Act (2010) says that 'A business cannot discriminate against mothers who are breastfeeding a child of any age.' Although Louise Burns was not asked to leave the premises, the fact she was asked to cover up made her feel uncomfortable and humiliated whilst discreetly doing what comes most naturally to her as a mother. Far too often, one hears of breastfeeding mothers being discriminated by ignorance, prejudice and practices out of step with what defines a progressive society. Any company that has such a policy should be targeted.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue Farrell

Dear BBC, please can we have our Archers back?The Archers has been a part of the rhythm of my life for the last 40 years, the characters are more like friends than fictional constructs and the complete change in the tone of the story lines and the numerous cast changes has turned the series from a beloved friend into a monstrous carbuncle.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by gabrielle sinclair

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.177 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
