• UK safe haven for Syrian refugees
    Adults and children are dying trying to escape from conflict in their own country. They need a safe haven,in UK, until it is safe to return. UK should cooperate with other EU countries to facilitate their escape, thereby reducing their reliance on criminal traffickers, and then provide temporary accommodation and resources until it is safe for them to return to Syria. NOW is not the time for focus on catching traffickers, nor for political issues, such as limiting immigration into UK

  • Refugees not Migrants
    The term migrant can be used for anyone wanting to move from one country to another. The masses escaping wars are doing so in fear of their lives and many would prefer to stay in their home country and will go back as soon as it is safe to. We need to realise this and calling them refugees will help.

  • Save Grove Lodge Admirals Walk London NW3
    This will not be allowed in 2016 under new regulations . If this is passed now it will mean the erosion of Hampstead's heritage in a special part of London . It is also dangerous with regard to the shifting sands on which it will be built and the disturbance of numerous water courses which constitute the start of eg the River Westbourne . The original listed building will be defaced by the removal of a porch and the insertion in a different place of a new front door. It is also extrememy dangerous with regard to its neighbour Admirals House , a six storey listed building built in 1700 without foundations.

  • For Alfred Russel Wallace to be included on the back of the ten pound note along with Darwin.
    Evolution by natural selection is one of the most important scientific theories of all time. It explains how living organisms evolve over generations and create new species. Amazingly, not one but two British scientists had this idea roughly at the same time. They both had astounding adventures and suffered great hardship in their search for the truth and yet the contribution made by Wallace has largely been forgotten! It is time for that wrong to be righted by adding Wallace's portrait next to his friend and fellow adventurer, Charles Darwin. There is still time before the ten pound note is redesigned in 2017 and the belated addition would help educate the general public of the truth behind Evolution. London's Natural History Museum have had the vision to belatedly add a portrait of Wallace next to Darwin's statue so I hope the Bank of England will also have that same vision and courage to act. A wrong not righted becomes an injustice!

  • Stop Selling Off East Oxford
    The community resources the council seems keen to knock down support a range of groups that connect our community. Without them many vulnerable people will lose support and spaces that they need, and all of us will lose affordable community led activities (including dancing, singing, sports and sewing clubs).

  • Cure the Calais Calamity
    The holdups to traffic, particularly commercial vehicles, are costing the country money. Not to mention the mental anguish of living rough in France, and the dangers of illegal transport.

  • Petition for a whole yorkshire mayor
    Yorkshire is the brand and Yorkshire is our identity. To command loyalty and seize the public imagination the whole of Yorkshire must be included in a devolution settlement. Further, only a united yorkshire can adequately represent us at government and the EU level.

  • No Helicopter Crash on Emmerdale
    People were killed by a real event in Glasgow, and there families don't need reminding of this, was a disaster at the Clutha Vaults, it shows the heart of the Emmerdale writers to think of even airing this.

  • Create a Neighbourhood Plan now
    We are starting this petition because of an increasing number of threats to Minchinhampton's green fields from developers seeking to profit from turning agricultural land into housing. The Local Plan for Stroud, yet to be approved, will be an inadequate defence against further predatory assaults in our view. The Parish Council claims that those who want a Neighbourhood Plan represent a narrow interest pressure group. This petition is to demonstrate that many parishioners want a Neighbourhood Plan to allow them a say in the future of their Parish.
