New Skatepark in Milton KeynesSkateparks provide a safe designate environment for people both young and old to ride. Further more they keep the youth away from open landscape architecture which then becomes damaged due to the lack of skateparks and skate spaces for them to use as it becomes the secondary place of use. To follow this it keeps the users of skateparks (bikers, roller bladers, kids on scooters) away from others places such as Costco and the Blum building where they use ledges and other areas such as underpasses as a unsafe way of practising based on the lack of space and early skatepark closing times. Asides from the fact it benefits the users, it also benfits Milton Keynes as a whole, other than our large shopping centre which attracts thousands of people each day, lots of people visit MK for the skateparks and will travel to try them out for a day, e.g the BUSZY is actually a famous park across the country as a street spot, having these parks draw in a niche group of people who come to Mk for the day, spend there money in shops whilst they ride and then return in the future, we believe having these skateparks is one of the many desirable things that keep Milton Keynes a desired place to live for the youth as there's many places that don't have the luxury of the parks that we have, and then some others that are benefited with much more. We as the community doing this petition would also ask that if this goes to plan and we are able to renovate one of these parks or build another, that we could get involved in the design, there are many of us that are good with this and some studying architectural courses and would love to get involved, as we believe we could create a more safe and fun environment for us to use. This would also then remove the problem that we currently have where particular members of the community try to create there own DIY parks within our skateparks. We hope this is something you see valuable to the community as without these parks we are left with the streets which we believe is both a safety hazard for those riding, as well as a problem as it ruins so much of the beautiful architecture we have here in MK, so keeping, improving or even making new parks can resolve these issues.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Harry Braddish

Change the national anthemThe modern day national anthem has much less importance and relevance as it did a long time ago. A lot of people do not associate with the monarchy and the song is therefore not inclusive to those who wish to show their love for the country, without having to praise an age old system that has no power and is all for show. Evidence of this can be seen all over the country, from places such as sporting events, funerals and in times of remorse or love. Therefore the national anthem needs to be something that can summarise what it's like to be British and get every one to be proud of this great nation. The song to replace it would be 'Don't look back in anger' by 'Oasis' and it is the perfect replacement. The song is extremely well known by all ages and when it is sung by large groups of people it is truly spine tingling and heart pounding. The true meaning and influence of this song can simply be seen through its choice as the song to show the nations reaction to the atrocities in Manchester and London. The song has more meaning then the current day "God save the queen" which praises and glorifies the Monarchy, as the songs title itself represents what it is to be British as it reflects the attitude of the wonderful people of Britain when it comes to unforgivable acts of horror. Also itwould not only include everyone into the celebration of their country but also be much more relevant in the modern time. Thank you10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacob Kirkbride

Keep brexit-mixed marriages together.Partners in brexit-mixed marriages don't know if their family will be torn apart by political horse-trading. The stress of not knowing what the future holds for them is unneccesary. Giving them dual citizenship is an humane solution and is the easiest thing to set up. It avoids creating special categories, procedures and measures to administer.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian James

Challenge the touch taboo and encourage safe touch in schools and care settingsAffective touch is a powerful medium for conveying empathy between people, for example when acknowledging that a child is highly successful, anxious or upset. A large body of recent neurobiological and psychological research clearly demonstrates that affective touch activates a crucial nerve system in the skin of all mammals that defends against stress and promotes feelings of well-being. A lack of touch is linked to less ability to cope. Safe touch also promotes discussion about what is not safe or wanted by other people.167 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sean Cameron

Kurdistan IndependenceThe Kurds are indigenous nation who historically have always inhabited their own land, Kurdistan, Land of the Kurds, which stretches over the mountainous chain of the Zagros region and its plains, with a population of more than 40 million, who have retained their societal culture and have preserved their own languages and culture, are perhaps the only nation on earth who are still stateless. After the demise of the Ottoman Empire, the Kurds were divided among four newly invented states in the Middle East, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria, forming entirely a different ethnic minority in each state while the Kurds were made to lose their own identity in the newly created arbitrary countries, these were compromising homogeneous national groups, their by denying the existence of other national groups within their own borders. The signing of the armistice agreement on 30 October 1918 which signaled the demise of the Ottomans has paved the way for the Treaty of Sevres on 10 August 1920, effectively allowing the allied powers in dividing the Ottoman Empire to implement the Sykes –Picot agreement of 1916 which created artificial countries in the Middle East by drawing a line in the sand and instead of delivering the Kurds from the Ottoman Empire, it marked the beginning of their oppression throughout the Middle EastSubsequent events and the new upheaval in the Middle East, including the falls of successive dictatorial regimes, the rise of radicalism and sectarianism, have added to the instability of the region, created new realities on the ground and have shown that old artificial borders are bound to fail. Our Kurdish leaders as well as the whole of the Kurdish nation have joined in, in demanding to have their own independent Kurdistan. The Kurds are the most freedom loving nations but also the most victimised nation throughout their modern history on this planet, who believe in liberty and democracy, therefore we ask you to support our petition to the British and European Parliaments to lend the Kurds full support in achieving their goals in having an independent state. With our sincere gratitude and regards On and behalf of PNKs Dr Khoshnaf Al-Kadi 2017-07-16, London87 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Khoshnaf Al-Kadi

Treat drug use as an addiction not as a crime...Despite the fact that I am in agreement with drugs being illegal in the UK. It is to my concern that punishing drug users as criminals causes more harm to the users. Many of these people are pressurised members of the population between 18-29 year olds, who use drugs as an escape from real life troubles.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Stevens
