Save Sea Road Supermarket Site - SunderlandYou don't have to be a regular Sea Road shopper to want the place to thrive. It serves people of all ages and it's a thoroughfare from Seaburn Metro to the beach, especially in summer. The paper version of the petition also says: "We are also concerned that, at a time when there is a need to reduce vehicle emissions, people will be forced to make additional car journeys because they no longer have a store that sells a wide range of reliable quality goods within easy walking distance."875 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Tony WILD

Save the Walnuts Leisure Centre in OrpingtonWalnuts Leisure Centre is currently housed in a purpose-built two-level building, constructed in the early 1970s. It has stood the test of time and today it serves as a community hub, offering affordable services and amenities to children, adults and senior citizens. The new leisure centre that Areli (the developer) is offering will be smaller in terms of square footage, housed on a couple of floors in one of the towers. Yet Areli's proposed plans will bring 2000 new residents, which will add to the pressures on the membership capacity of the Leisure centre. We fear being priced out of our Leisure centre. Although Areli, keeps boasting about the proposed 25 metres competition size swimming pool, their plans clearly show lack of pool-side space, that makes the holding of such competitions very difficult. small pool is tiny unsuitable for lessons. See Ojay's (Keep Orpington Swimming) concerns on this link https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=keep%20orpington%20swimming The wide corridors of the current centre, the spacious halls and the large gym area, has meant that the leisure centre was made Covid-safe and was re-opened after lock down with complete confidence. If at the end of the day the decision to replace the Leisure centre is the one the Council opts for, the new leisure centre should be constructed before the current one is decommissioned. Furthermore, we need cast iron guarantees that the new leisure centre will be affordable and accessible by all residents who need it.

Save Winchcombe's Youth CentreIn Winchcombe, Gloucestershire County Council owns a building that for years has been a youth centre. We have seen young people thrive as a result of their time in that space with our youth workers and those from organisations who used the space before us. It's proximity to the Sports Hall, central location, disabled access and parking make it the most suitable site in Winchcombe for continued Youth Services. As landlord, GCC has asked all current users of the building to move out whilst they assess it for repair and decide on its future. We want GCC to involve the community, especially young people, in their review of this building's future so that any refurbishment/re-design/re-let is appropriate for local need. Winchcombe needs a dedicated youth centre building, for too long young people have been squeezed out of physical spaces in our community and they deserve better. We are seeing now the impact of catastrophic cuts to open access youth services a decade ago, as waiting lists for counselling and mental health support spiral out of control, compounded by the recent pandemic. Community Youth Services from a dedicated building can help to support young people at a much earlier stage, reducing the pressure on over-stretched specialist services. Consulting with young people in the community over the future of their youth centre building should be a priority for GCC, however in our communications to date we have been given no indication that this will be the case. Local authorities have a statutory duty to secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people and to make sure young people have a say in the local offer. (Education Act 1996 Section 507B) We need local support to add volume to our voice to GCC so that they will be willing to come and listen to the voices of young people. We are asking young people to write letters that we will send to GCC and we want to show adult support for that through this petition. Our goal is that through this petition and young people's letters GCC will actively seek out to listen to and act in response to the voices of young people in our community.357 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Gemma Madle

Keep open Llefrith Nant Dairy Vending in Cemaes AngleseyAnglesey council are planning to close our new milk vending machine. This not only supplies our community with top quality local produce but also provides employment and innovation to the way we support our local businesses. The loss of this service will not only damage a small family business but also be a loss to the community.3,372 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Katie Hayward

Use the Levelling-Up Fund to reopen the Old Tram BridgeThe Old Tram Bridge is an important pedestrian and cycle route into Preston. It is well used, providing a link to the footpath network based around the old railways and the Lancaster Canal tramroad. Many people have fond memories of the bridge, which has evolved from its original purpose as part of the canal, to being the much-loved structure that it is today. Given that walking and cycling to work are far greener than using a car or even public transport, it would be foolhardy to remove this vital link in the network of pathways to the south of Preston.2,841 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Account Deleted

Give Kenilworth Lido a Fair ChanceOutdoor swimming in Kenilworth is part of the town’s history. Abbey Fields Lido was one of the 1st in the country. The current outdoor pool is the furthest from the sea and the only safe public outdoor swimming facility within 30 miles. The pool’s heritage is highly valued, but change is in its history. The original pool has already been rebuilt twice and we now have the perfect opportunity to create a lido for today; with the latest chemical free filtering, and the best 21st century design and eco credentials.3,175 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Judy Brook

Save Orrell Mount Park in BootleThroughout the Borough of Sefton, and other areas in the country, green space is being destroyed by developers despite the environmental impact. Artificial grass is a poor substitute for real grass and is a pollutant. Micro-plastics have already been found in the ice of the Arctic; did we want more. Families have used this proposed site for generations for picnics, impromptu football matches, games of cricket and rounders, dog walking and just pleasant strolls on a sunny afternoon. 3G pitches are not wanted nor needed. Only those who's parents can afford it will be able to use the facilities and the local school, who have used the park on their sports days for years, will be restricted.2,560 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by John Mc

Make Monday a bank holiday due to England reaching the Euro 2020 FinalOn Sunday night, England's men's football team could be crowned champions of Europe at Wembley Stadium. England have only ever reached one major final before which was the 1966 World Cup Final. That was 55 years ago. It's been a long wait and who knows how long we might have to wait before it happens again. Let's allow the country to celebrate such a momentous sporting event in style. Sunday night should be a time to bring the country together even if we are physically apart, and after the year we have had, we deserve this. So what better way to mark the occasion than having a bank holiday the day after the night of the match.2,427 of 3,000 Signatures

Back the Vision for Carlisle BathsThey 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.7,384 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Julie Minns

Fairmuir Park Under ThreatToday 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.1,659 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Elaine Kerr

Brookwood Cemetery opening timesThis 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. Thanks305 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Nahdia Aadil-Ahmed
