• Equal land rights for Strawberry Island Allotment Association
    Residents of Strawberry Island Allotment Society (100 years) are experiencing ongoing access and parking problems due to Strawberry Island Boat Club refusing vehicular access and parking on adjacent land Our allotment is on an island and we’ve been there 100 years this year. 50 yrs ago, a boatyard and clubhouse were built and now boats surround the island and allotment. The present Committee of the boat club have, as of today taken away all vehicular access and parking. An initial agreement consisting of 6 spaces and any overflow to park in the club car park was rescinded the next day. No overflow and no access to emergency entrance at the back of the allotment for deliveries, with out 7 days notice in writing. Our fobs to the main gate have been deactivated. We no longer have vehicular access and can only enter through a side gate. No means of bringing plants/equipment/compost unless we carry it in from the road outside. Their lease clearly states that we are allowed vehicular access at all times. The land is actually owned by the local council, but they have passed us back and forth saying there is absolutely nothing they or their legal team can do. They drew both our leases up which could quite easily be amended to make it equal

  • Please don’t move our Saltcoats Library service
    Community activities should be increasing not reducing. The Library is a lovely venue for all age groups and should expand activities for promoting mental health and relaxation which are needed even more as a result of Covid. The Argyle Centre has the potential to grow its activities too. New groups are developing and there is great potential to expand not reduce access when a library service is moved in. Library resource would have to reduce.

  • Save The Nursery School! Don't ask the Nursery School to vacate Addlestone Salvation Army hall
    The Nursery School team have spent 20years building the safe and nurturing environment. Mrs Mulea and her team have worked tirelessly to deliver outstanding care to local pre school children in the local community. They have been served notice to vacate the Salvation Army hall by July leaving no nursery provision for children in the local community. We are appealing to the Salvation Army to reconsider their decision and allow the nursery school to continue to use the space.

  • Roller Skate Space for Victoria Park, Leicester
    The popularity of roller skating over the past year has grown immensely due to COVID-19. As a result, there has been a shortage of roller skates internationally with skate retailers reporting an 800% increase in sales since the start of the first lockdown over a year ago. There are now hundreds of skaters within Leicester city, many of which skate in Victoria park. For many of us, it has been our main source of exercise throughout the pandemic and has provided a sense of community to all ages and backgrounds where we can teach, learn and bond with one another. It has encouraged friends and families to come together, socially distanced, and actively take part in a sport that is as effective as running. At the moment, we are having to locate ourselves on public pathways, car parks and tennis courts. Anywhere that is flat and smooth enough to skate on, it is guaranteed a skater will know about it. Unfortunately, with this we are often told to move on resulting in the discouragement of this wonderful sport. I can say with 100% confidence that there are no safe skate spaces for roller skaters to practice in Leicester and we are forced to use whatever grounds are deemed suitable. Rough, uneven grounds result in more accidents and injuries. By developing a dedicated safe skate space/outdoor rink, roller skaters will no longer be forced to skate in places that are illegal/where we shouldn’t be or be in the way of other people’s activities. An alternative would be scheduled time for roller skaters to use the tennis courts in Victoria park. With the growing numbers of roller skaters and minimal flat smooth ground in Leicester, a safe legal skate space/outdoor roller rink is needed, for children and adults alike.

  • 🆘STOP OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD BECOMING A DUMP!
    We the undersigned are outraged and appalled by the increasing incidence of fly tipping in the area which has become a major problem. What were once quiet suburban roads, parks and beauty spots are now hotspots for dumping of all manner of illegal waste. Not only is this an eyesore and extremely hazardous, but living amongst these conditions is detrimental to our physical and mental well-being, furthermore it serves to de-value the neighbourhood and we demand to put a stop to it now! If you share our concern or have anything further to add regarding this disgusting, anti social activity, then please sign the petition and make your voice heard. Add your photos, comments and suggestions so that collectively we can bring about a change:

  • Save Woodside Halls
    Woodside Halls provide valuable space for community groups to meet, be it Yoga, Kung Fu, dance, Capoeira, meetings, AA, tango, creative art therapy.... the list goes on. All of these activities rely on cheap hall hire. As we come out of the pandemic, mental and physical health support is proving to be vital, and being able to attend classes could mean a lifeline to many. In addition, Woodside Halls are used as rehearsal spaces for many groups and are vital to the recovery of Glasgow's Cultural scene.

  • Save our Services in Glasgow
    Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life cannot be allowed to ravage our city’s heritage. These services are not a luxury, they are at the heart of any cohesive community.

Glasgow says No. We will fight these cuts. OUR CULTURE! OUR HERITAGE! OUR SERVICES! OUR FUTURE! Below is a list of public assets that are vulnerable to closure. These services belong to the People of Glasgow and in a post-Covid world their continued existence will be crucial to improving the quality of life of the city's population.

  • Save West Kilbride Library
    Our very attractive Library Building overlooks the village of West Kilbride and has stunning views across to the hills. Our Library is one of the most well used in North Ayrshire and has the potential to increase its service by developing links with other creative and educational projects. The IT suite was in constant use. Attendance at a public consultation drew one of the largest oppositions in the Local Authority. This is one of the most unpopular moves suggested by the Council and compares with their disastrous decision to close public toilets and swing parks - both of which are now viewed by communities as a complete mistake.

  • We don't want the Super League
    "Football is nothing without fans" It is the beautiful game and steeped in history and culture. It is a game full of stories of the 'little team' overcoming the odds to win. Young girls and boys dream of growing up to play for their hometown club, to lift the FA Cup, or winning their first cap for their National team. Leicester City won the hearts of the nation (and even the world) when they went from the brink of relegation to Premier League champions and playing in the Champions League. A story that will be told for generations to come. The 'European Super League' threatens all of this. The proposal comes from the millionaire and billionaire owners who now run our beloved clubs. They have no respect for the fans and the long history of the game. Why are they doing this? For one reason alone - to make more money. This is a shameful move and will rip the heart out of football.

  • UK to recognise its 1 million + Spanish & Portuguese speakers.
    Latin; Iberian; Hispanic; Lusophone; South/Central or Native American; Spanish; Portuguese; Brazilian; Luso-African and Hispanic or Luso Asian peoples together are the UK's largest ethnolinguistic minority. They do not want to be considered as “others”, but as one block as happens now within the Greater London Authority, and also in the USA where 60 million of them have an official heritage month to celebrate their rich culture and contributions, and can tick a special census category as well as their own national identity. According to official data from the ONS, HO and FO there are more than 1 million UK residents born in Ibero America and the Spanish and Portuguese speaking nations without counting their descendents. They constitute a very significant community who has been contributing to Britain from many centuries and they deserved to be recognized in all monitoring forms and having a History Month.
