• SAVE THE FM SIGNAL
    Please reconsider AGAIN on the future of the FM signal switching off. There will be many who cannot afford anew Digital radio,and will all be able to receive a signal. All FM car radios will be made useless,along with the many in households throughout the UK.In our household we have had 3/4 digital radios and all have been hopeless. We are fortunate to now have afforded a Bose Wave radio,which is connected to a proper aerial,with a good signal,and exceptional performance,however,not everyone is as fortunate as us.... A radio is the only contact some people, especially older folk, have with the human voice /outside world...Is this a police state we are living in?...I hope not,especially in my lifetime..I am a pensioner and do have some knowledge of modern tech, how about you? Why do we all have to conform to this decision in the switch off,when nobody as far as I know has been consulted.We are a "free country?" are we not?

  • Open up empty buildings in Powys
    To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.

  • Free TV licences for welfare pensioners
    Over 2 million pensioners will not receive the new state pension and will have to continue to live on £133 per week - some only receive £115 per week state benefits. For a Government that boasted a basic state pension of £155 per week, conveniently forgot to mention all existing pensioners will not receive this amount. To then expect them to pay the licence fee on top of their daily living costs, when they have little or no money to spare, is a damning indictment of the lack of care this government has for those at the bottom of the welfare heap. As a pensioner myself I know many pensioners who find it hard it is to pay their way, keep warm and eat healthily. You only have to look at the number of deaths of older people in the winter months because they don't have enough money to live on. I want you to sign the petition, so that we can put pressure on the Government to include welfare pensioners of all ages getting a free TV licence.

  • Reintroduce Buses Along Gledhow Valley Road
    I have Parkinson's disease. I have had my driving licence revoked. I am reliant on favours to get anywhere because the valley sides are too steep for me. I am not the only person in this position. I'd be happy to take public transport if it were public. What use is a bus pass without a bus?

  • Regularize Streaming Deals pro music artists
    It has never been clear since the dawn of the digital downloads era and we, the artists, often earn a very little income from selling a good amount of our music works which cost us a lot of time, love and money. It is important because the music industry is in crisis because of greedy companies like these (Deezer and others). Whilst I am a full time working musician, working hard and struggling to survive, these people and their employees which little have to do with music, make 20 times our profit just by addressing the products WE create, somewhere. ITunes for instance has a much fairer share of the profits with the artists who sell on it. I am a music producer, band leader of a successful Funk band, having sold 1715 copies of my first album on spotify and having earned 5.4€ from it sounds rather offensive. This is not the way the music business should go as they are killing the arts and the art of recording albums. I shall make my money back from the works I sell, not funding my music through borrowed money. We demand a fairer share of these streamed music deals, because in the past they've promised that they would give us more when they'd have more subscribers. Spotify accounts for 20 million active users and still pays artists around 0.002 pence per stream. This has to come to an end!

  • Save Glasgows Heritage
    Glasgow has lost so much of its architectural heritage and we cannot afford to loose anymore or we will simply not be an attractive tourist spot for those from other European countries where the architecture is preserved to a larger state. This development of student housing could be built anywhere in the city, could it not be moved into the former City of Glasgow College building a few yards away that is up for sale? This area of Glasgow close to Townhead and Cowcaddens has virtually no heritage remaining and this former church is one of the only beautiful buildings remaining in this area. Please keep this vital part of our heritage for the next generations of Glaswegians to enjoy!

  • Let the people decide. Trident or missile defence,
    If we don't fight for our voice on this it will be another 40 years before it can be spoke of again. We need to ask ourselves, do we want to pay for a weapon, at huge expense, that ensures we can burn the flesh off the children of our enemies after were dead, or should we purchase ballistic missile defence at a far lesser cost to ensure a chance of survival and thus we avoid becomming mass murderes by default. It's time someone showed the world a better way.

  • Mitchell Library Main Reading Hall open for public use
    The Mitchell is one of Europe's largest public libraries and the Main Reading Hall with the leaded glass ceiling is the most impressive and inspiring of the rooms. In spite of this, it is not enjoyed by the public or visitors to the city. The room lies unused during the day. The original wooden tables and chairs are currently in storage.

  • Wasps rugby club to become Coventry Wasps
    With the help of Coventry tax payers money, we helped to build the Ricoh arena. With Wasps money you secured the future of the stadium. The arena is now a fabulous home to Wasps rugby club. The move gives Wasps a permanent home and gives the City and surrounding area elite sport to watch. Coventry is on the rise again and what a fantastic opportunity for Wasps and the city of Coventry to combine our enthusiasm to forge: Coventry Wasps.
