• Save Swanley Age Concern Charity Shop From Closure RACDV
    Our successful charity shop is the only visible support in the Swanley area for the elderly and sells really useful clothes and goods at low prices to help those in need in our community. We also have a 5-day a week walk in advice and information service and we help in tackling isolation and loneliness for the elderly in our community. It has also helped older volunteers gain the confidence to get back into other employment. The shop is profitable so us volunteers are at a complete loss as to why the trustees are closing it and want them to reverse their decision to fulfil their remit as trustees and in the best interests of the elderly in our area.

  • GWR should provide Welsh on their signage and in their announcements
    Under the terms of the Welsh Language Measure 2011, Welsh people understood that train companies were going to provide Welsh language services. This was a clear message during the campaigning and information disseminated to help Welsh people understand their linguistic rights. Whether Welsh-speaking or not, the majority of Welsh people welcomed and celebrated the extension of the legal status of Welsh into the private sector. Over recent years, Welsh people have received news on several occasions of the increased efforts to promote and protect the Welsh language, such as the 1 million speakers by 2050. As a result, the news that GWR will not be providing a Welsh language service is disappointing. It sends a statement that they do not understand or care about their customer service provision in Wales. The Welsh Government's inability to enforce the status of Welsh in the private sector also sends a message of no confidence in the Welsh Language Measure 2011, and other legal frameworks to ensure the linguistic rights of Welsh-speakers. Where train companies operate through two or more areas where different languages are spoken, there is an expected provision of services in those languages, e.g. Eurostar, VIA Rail Canada, SNCF TGV Paris-Milan (France/Italy). In light of bilingual services provided elsewhere in the world on board train services, any official statements that 'operating in England invalidates the provision of a Welsh language service' should be considered ignorant of both cultural and business practices. Wales is a bilingual country. GWR must respect that.

  • Calling for a new UK bank holiday to celebrate under 25s
    At The Mix, we know that under 25s are extremely talented, and care passionately about the world around them. We are privileged, through our work, to witness first-hand the strength and resilience of young people every day. It's important that as a society we embrace young people from all backgrounds, and nurture their potential as ultimately, they are the future of our country. Often the media narrative around young people can be very negative, focusing on crime, unemployment, or unattainable housing. We hope that a dedicated bank holiday will help to change the narrative around Generation Z into a positive one - STRONG and RESILIENT. In 2018, International Youth Day will come of age and celebrate its 18th anniversary. At The Mix we believe this anniversary is the perfect time to show our appreciation to the youngest members of our society. This petition is part of The Mix's #Stronger campaign, which aims to give under 25s the platform to tell their story and not be defined by mainstream media.

  • Stop Excessive Data Usage Fees
    Currently mobile data providers (Vodafone) let the consumer run up excessive bills and then take the money directly from their bank accounts. This is morally reprehensible.

  • Plastic reduction in supermarkets
    The oceans are already choked with plastic and by 2050 , there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. This could mean starvation to many people and countries that depend on the ocean to survive. This is the sort of environment that breeds conflict and war, thus causing more pollution. I have 5 grandchildren who will be part of this polluted world along with billions of others. We have no need to worry about world war three, as pollution will eradicate the population before , if we don't take action now. If we target supermarkets like Asda, then we can pressurise them into making a difference.

  • Save Our Music Venues in Manchester
    We all know the life and the soul of a city is its arts and culture. Equally as important is the opportunity for us to come together and spend time enjoying ourselves with other people. In a world dominated by smart phones and Netflix we need more reasons to leave our gaff, not less. We need to reverse this trend of destroying everything edgy and interesting about our city to build more beige flats for beige people. Save our city.

  • Sort out the Parking Problem in Stanhope Street Abergavenny
    Traffic lights are needed to prevent accidents and possible disturbances of the peace. I have been personally involved in one person being injured at this 'Bottleneck ' and I have also been threatened and verbally abused by an irate driver who had to give way to me ! Reserved Parking Places are needed to allow residents a place to 'Park' when returning home etc. as there is just not enough room to 'Park'

    At the moment on a really good day we get 5.00 Mbps, at the moment i get 1.00 Mbps. By 2013 they said they said they would upgrade our WiFi to fibre broadband (about 30.00 Mbps)(which is about 5X better than it is now) which they never did.

  • 'Last Christmas' For Christmas Number 1 2017!
    Lets remember the iconic singer/songwriter and great man George Michael, who sadly passed Christmas 2016. 'Last Christmas' never made it to Number 1 in 1984, it would be a great honour to remember him by purchasing 'Last Christmas' again and placing it at the top spot for Christmas 2017 and for George. There have been many X Factor number 1's over the years but lets do this for a great man - George Michael. *THIS PETITION IS JUST FOR AWARENESS AND HAS NO INFLUENCE OVER THE OUTCOME WHATEVER*

  • Save Heysham Swimming Pool.
    Cllr Margaret Pattison, Cllr Janice Hanson, Cllr Darren Clifford and Cllr David Whittaker are very concerned with living in a seaside area such as Morecambe and Heysham that children should have a local pool to learn to swim. The pool has 54.000 visitors a year with 16 schools using the pool for swimming lessons and groups helping people to keep fit and healthy, if closed this would effect the health and safety of the people in Morecambe.
