• Back the Vision for Carlisle Baths
    They are a unique piece of Living Heritage Opened in 1909 as an addition to the 1884 Public Baths, Carlisle Turkish Baths are one of only 12 original Victorian style Turkish Baths in Britain still operating, and the only ones remaining in the North West. They are under threat When new swimming pools open at Carlisle's main leisure centre in 2022, the Public Baths will close leaving the Turkish Baths on their own, and without a plan for their continued use. Operating alone it is unlikely that the Turkish Baths will survive. Carlisle City Council who own the Turkish Baths say very few people use them & that there must be a business case if they are to be kept open. The Council have also commissioned a feasibility study to "consider a series of alternative functions" for the Baths. The way forward The Vision is to develop the original Baths & Turkish Baths building as a 'Health & Wellbeing' centre. The centre would use one of the existing pools as a hydrotherapy pool & the other as a leisure pool. There is also space in the building for a therapy & treatment rooms, other health related facilities and a bar & restaurant. We propose that the site of the 1970s pool - due for demolition - is used to create a new city centre park. Breathing space and light into the area and providing an accessible play area, water features and an outdoor gym, and providing outdoor health and wellbeing facilities to complement the new centre. Funding As well as opening up a new main entrance to Carlisle Station at the rear of the Baths, the £20m Carlisle Station Gateway scheme includes £400k to 'patch-up' the Baths. We would like that money rolled into the Vision project, along with some of the £19.7m Town Centre funding Carlisle has won. Newcastle, Swindon & Harrogate all won Lottery Heritage Funding for their Turkish Baths, we believe Carlisle could do the same.

  • Fairmuir Park Under Threat
    Today we learned that Alexanders Community Development have withdrawn their interest and proposal for the former Bowling Green. They advised that they had consulted and listened to the local community , most of whom had said that while they supported their idea, it was not the correct location for it. This does not mean that our campaigning is over as Dundee United Community Trust still have plans to take over the pavilion and areas of our park by way of an Asset Transfer offered to them by Dundee City Council. Whilst DUCT have now modified their initial proposal confirming that it was no longer their intention to fence off a pitch, create car parking and add floodlighting, their interest still remains in the pavilion and one pitch. We feel that this is simply a "get one foot in the door" approach and that it would ultimately lead to them acquiring more of the park under the same scheme. If you would like Fairmuir to remain the green space it is today, please sign the petition and we will do all we can to preserve our park.

  • Brookwood Cemetery opening times
    This petition is to bring attention to the opening hours of Brookwood Cemetery and the need for the visitors to have extended opening hours. Most cemeteries are open at different hours based on season, winter 8am til 5pm and summer 8am til 7.30pm. Brookwood Cemetery however have a standard opening and closing time all throughout the year of 8am til 5pm. There is a demand from the visitors of the graveyard and this interest deserves to be taken into consideration and accommodation to be made. We are hoping this petition will encourage the council to accept the proposal of the following: Brookwood Cemetery Opening Hours: Winter: Monday to Sunday - 8am til 5pm Summer: Monday to Sunday - 8am til 7.30pm Access via the train station has been effected by the new ANPR camera and 20 minute free parking is not enough to spend graveside. I hope we can all stand together, irrespective of race and religion. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. Thanks

  • Extend the Road Closure of Eastleigh's High Street and Market Street
    A significant number of Eastleigh residents have enjoyed the roads being closed due to COVID-19, and would like to see them remain closed. Eastleigh representatives of Hampshire County Council would like the opportunity to do a full consultation to ascertain if the the roads should remain closed. Pedestrianisation of towns has had great success in boosting a town's economy, including the neighbouring cities of Southampton and Winchester.

  • Save YOUR Cadbury Club!
    The Cadbury Club has been a stalwart of Bournville Village for decades and unfortunately, in August 2020, just after the club had reopened following lockdown there was a devastating fire which wiped out the club. Over the course of the last year we have been meeting with Mondelez International, who now own Cadburys, to talk about re-building the club. They have taken the decision to not rebuild. We want to work with the local community and anyone who has ever had an experience at the Cadbury Club or any of the affiliated sporting sections to sign this petition to inform Mondelez just how important the Cadbury Club is to our Community. Just how much we can make it into a viable and thriving business in the heart of Bournville.

  • Hag Fold Road Safety
    This is important as we have asked many times to put in measures to improve road safety where children play and go to school. The roads around Devonshire Road Park and the two primary schools are seeing speeds well in excess of the 20mph speed limit.

  • 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.

  • 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:
