  • Safer crossing on Allerton Rd
    Beckfoot Allerton Primary School is close to a busy main road (Allerton Rd). Our primary school children have to cross this road to get to school. There is no zebra or traffic light crossing and this is leading to the children being put in danger of a road traffic collision. We sometimes have a lollipop lady but she is not always there. We would like to take a preventative approach rather than wait for a serious accident to happen.

  • Wakefield Council - Fence off Gorton Street Park!
    To Wakefield Council With reference to the planned Regeneration improvements to Gorton Street Park in Kinsley WF9, we, the residents of Kinsley ask you to please fence off the entire field on Gorton Street, not just the area currently used as a rugby pitch. We ask that the park area be left in its existing position, but with more play equipment than is currently available. The area to which Wakefield Council is proposing to move the playpark is right next to a road where illegal car racing takes place. Its existing location is at least at a point where the racing cars are forced to slow down in order to turn onto another road. If moving the park is unavoidable, then the entire green area absolutely needs to be fenced off to avoid accidents happening in the future. This is the only green space left in Kinsley and it needs to be kept open for the community

  • Castle Terrace SOS (Sick of Speeders)
    The residents of Castle Terrace, Berwick upon Tweed are sick of the speeding traffic in our street. These are some of the problems we currently face: 1. A daily gamble to safely exit our drives. 2. Drivers coming off the A1 and think they are still in a 60mph zone. 3. Drivers going too fast to safely negotiate the bend at the station end of the street. 4. Lorries and cars overtaking parked cars narrowing the road dangerously. 5. Cyclists been squeezed into a gauntlet. 6. Pedestrians taking risky crossings. 7. Parents rushing to get children to school on time. 8. Boy racers. Castle Terrace residents have formed a group to take up the issue of speeding in the area. Our local Councillor arranged a speed survey and in the week surveyed, the results unsurprisingly confirmed our concerns of speeding. Here are the highlights 1. Roughly half of all drivers broke the speed limit. 2. Nearly 4000 vehicles exceeded the speed limit 3. The top speed recorded was 75.6mph 4. 40 mph plus is exceeded regularly The survey was taken during a school holiday otherwise the numbers may have been higher.

  • Give Huw Edwards a Knighthood
    Huw Edwards’ coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing represented the very best of what we expect from our news presenters. He struck the exact right tone and spoke for the nation at a time of tremendous uncertainty. For his professionalism and dedication to public service broadcasting, Huw Edwards is more than deserving of a knighthood

  • Unacceptable Bus Service
    People are relying on the bus for work, shopping, parents with children and buggies, older people who cannot walk the distance to get their shopping and medication. People are paying for a service and not receiving it. All people want is a reliable, timely, consistent bus service to enable them to get food, medicine, meet a friend, get out of their homes to get some social time, avoiding loneliness. It’s not a lot to ask for all of the above reasons.

  • Make subtitle viewing available to those who need it
    As someone with three, young, deaf children - I want children who are deaf and hard of hearing in West Cumbria to have the opportunity to go to the cinemas with their friends and family and enjoy it in the same way as their peers who are not deaf would. Visiting a cinema is a wonderful experience for many. However, it can be extremely frustrating for a lot of people, due to a lack of accessible cinema screenings. Many individuals benefit from having subtitles/captions on when viewing - but not enough cinemas in West Cumbria show the latest films with subtitled screenings. Cinemas may only show a film once on occasion, this is not accessible for those who require subtitles such as those from the deaf community and those who simply require a visual aid when watching a film. Due to the limited number of accessible cinemas screenings on show, too many people wait until the disc or digital release of films so they can access subtitles - this isn't fair to those who would love the experience of going to watch the latest cinema release. It is now 2022, Rose Ayling Ellis won Strictly Come Dancing in 2021. She made a huge impact in raising awareness for the deaf community - BSL classes have seen a huge increase in numbers of people taking part. I hope that cinemas in West Cumbria and beyond will listen to this petition and make more subtitled screenings available to those that need them.

  • Save our Community Centre!
    To date, we haven't been given sufficient opportunity to put forward an alternative vision and we need your support to show the strength of feeling there is to keep this vital community asset rather than it being sold off. This will see another community space lost, like many others in recent years. We are working together to campaign to keep the site open and develop new facilities, including ones which will support people on low incomes, maintain low cost community space and address the climate crisis. Join us in supporting our campaign to keep this space in the hands of the community.

  • Youth Centre for Southend
    I feel that the age group between 11 and 17 are becoming really bad in the Southend area due to a mix of things: Drugs, County Lines gangs pressured into doing things they don't want to do, along with many other bad things that they shouldn't be subjected to. I feel that if we had a building with the right people in there - some from support work backgrounds, people that can provide confidential one-to-one or even group sessions - we would be able to offer real support and advice to the local youth. I'd say there are a lot of vulnerable people out there that won't speak out or seek advice. But having the right place to make those people feel comfortable, where they can come down and get involved in activities such as indoor football/pool tables/computers/films etc. along with educational programs and access to help and guidance for a better life future to be pointed in the right direction would be beneficial. Of course each person would be monitored inside assessed spoken to. It would be a place where they can open up with no judgement and give them the best possible advice for moving forward - and when anything severe arises or that is a big concern, information can be collected and passed on to the right department to look into and solve. In reality when one young person is in a bad place and at a loose end they won't seek help via adults services as they feel they will get into trouble or look weak. Whereas going through as what they would see as a mate at the centre a fun understanding normal day to day person that they build a repor with outside of the public service ie uniform . Give young people a safe environment and they will open up. Provide the right services and people - social workers/mental health assessors/job centres and advisers - to help find work and get on the right track, supported by friendly staff and in a space where they can enjoy themselves (with games etc.) It's all about our next generation. And as we can all see, the up and coming generation seem to be increasingly lost too soon, with no interest in drive or progression in life.

  • ELITE 100
    During the 40s 50s and to a lessening degree, the early 60s Middlesbrough was home to 15 cinemas, Eight of those existed within One Square Mile of the town centre ... Today, only two remain standing, both purpose built, both designed by James Forbes. The Elite never did get the two organs for which it was designed, settling instead for one, a Compton 6 Rank Organ which years later, thrilled those ABC Minors as it arose from the ' Depths Of Hell ' From its' opening in 1923 nothing changed until it closed for modernisation in 1964 when, everything changed. Gone was the ornate plasterwork which surrounded the audience with passing passing references to Greek Gods ... Now ( I believe ) hidden behind dropped ceilings and studded walls. Gone is the Art Deco Ballroom and Restaurant ... Gone, the quaint Tea Room of yesteryears. The great Domed Glass Roof remains ... Magnificent, Vast, Cathedral like. In a town which has seen many of its' Heritage Buildings destroyed in the name of progress ... This building which holds memories for the people of Middlesbrough as numerous as the bricks from which she is built must be saved ... For, where else would the ' Ghosts Of Cinema ' play

  • Rename Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine Street
    Demonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine by renaming Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine Street. As you are reading this petition, the entire 40-mln nation of Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against Russian aggression. People of various professions are being armed to protect their native cities, thousands are volunteering to join the Armed Forces to bravely protect their country. Civilians spend their nights in bomb shelters because residential areas of Kyiv and other cities are being shelled from army-grade missiles. Living away from Ukraine, it is sometimes hard to know how you can support the people under attack. However, there is one way you can, simply by supporting the campaign to rename Melville street to Ukraine street. This would be a simple but incredibly meaningful act of symbolic support for the courageous Ukrainian people who defend the values of freedom and democracy from the 2nd strongest military power in the world. As you know, Russia with its leader Vladimir Putin demonstrates quite poor historical knowledge about Ukraine. Russia seems to forget that Ukraine is a sovereign state. At the same time, Ukraine is the homeland of people whose long struggle for independence has been a testament to their unyielding, indomitable spirit and free will. Walking down the Ukraine Streets for Russian representatives to their embassies and consulates all over the world would be a great daily reminder of Ukraine's sovereignty with democracy and freedom as its highest values. Several European countries have already changed the Russian embassies’ address lines for Ukraine. Albania gave part of a street a new name "Free Ukraine Street," Lithuania renamed a street to "Ukrainian Heroes Street" and Latvia – "Independent Ukraine Street". Scotland has a great track record in solidarity with what is right. In the 1980s Glasgow’s St George’s Place was renamed Nelson Mandela Place due to its position as the home of the Apartheid South African consulate. Let’s do it again for Ukraine! We call for global solidarity and address officials, mayors, activists to initiate and support the renaming of the streets with Russian Embassies and consulates into Ukraine Streets all over the world! Thank you for standing with Ukraine and adding your name. Please share widely to get more support. #StandWithUkraine
