Help Preserve our Art Space!Pine Walk art exhibition in Bournemouth Lower Gardens was set up in 1954 to help amateur artists display and sell their work. It is now proposed by the council to redevelop the display area by reducing the stands from 40 to 11. No serious consultation had taken place with the artists and we consider the new proposed scheme to be unfit for purpose. We have concerns that the new scheme will cost too much money which would in turn demand a higher fee from the artists to rent the 'new space'. We feel the money would be better spent in other more cost effective ways, one of which could be advertising. Bournemouth is an Arts University town yet local art is not supported. Locals and tourists love to visit this space as it provides a free attraction and provides a valuable platform for those starting out in the art world.225 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Melissa Hobson-Matthews

Save Vale SquareThe Vale Square Residents Association have been looking after this community garden for over 32 years. Vale Square is an asset of community value. The council have refused to answer emails regarding this issue and have refused an offer to buy the square by residents stating they must bid for the property in open auction. Friends of Vale Square have invested time and money £4,000 each year to maintain the grounds including the trees which have a preservation order. Vale Square is used by local groups and is available for use by the community. It is an asset to be treasured and kept for future generations and should not just be disposed off.1,734 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Raushan Ara

Stop Suffragette statue being removed from ParliamentThis statue was funded by suffragettes and has stood in place since 1930. It would be disrespectful to move the statue from the public eye on the centenary of women's suffrage. We've made so much progress in the realm of women's rights but moving a feminist hero like Pankhurst away from the heart of UK politics would be a step backwards182,017 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Jacquie Hawkins

Reinstate the Preston to Fleetwood rail linkDr Beeching started the closure of the rail link and Fleetwood, a seaside town on a peninsula, has been in decline since. The infrastructure to and from this beautiful town is diabolical. It is quicker to fly to Geneva from Lancaster than get to Westminster from Fleetwood. It is 5 miles to the nearest station which is gridlocked at peak times. There is no direct bus to the station and 35.2% of Fleetwood residents do not own a car which is above the 32% National average. The whole of the district of Wyre, approximately 110,000, have had one train station since 1970 when the last passenger train left Fleetwood. With the creation of more houses in Wyre another train station is needed and with the shortening of the platform at Poulton-le-fylde meaning no direct trains to London/Glasgow can stop in Wyre the reinstatement direct to Preston is needed.822 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Mary Stirzaker Belshaw

Twenty two treesThe Rossmere Park Island has the only breeding colony of Egrets in the whole county. If these birds move on because of the disturbance on the Island they will not come back. Not only do these trees add to the character of the park, they form a vital part of the local ecology for the Park’s large Bat colony.492 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Taylor

Introduce a mining exhibition at Snibston CollieryIt is important to keep the mining heritage alive around Leicestershire. The miners and their families are passionate about having their heritage continued.The council should make sure there is an exhibition of all the mining works and tours of the mining shaft. The history that surrounds Snibston Colliery is truly remarkable as George Stephenson and his son Robert Stephenson were very much part of the setting up and sinking of a shaft at Snibston in Coalville, therefore it is important that we keep this legacy going. In 2015 it was very sad when the Snibston Discovery Park was demolished, a lot of people fought to keep this alive. It was an amazing exhibition with hands on products for children to see and had an auditorium for films etc. The place now looks very derelict with only the Century Theatre.1,389 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Susan Woodward

Don't give Trump planning permissionTrump wants to build 500 “luxury” houses on a protected Aberdeenshire coast. These homes will be unaffordable to anyone except the rich, featuring villas planned to sell for over £1 million. No plans for affordable houses, which were promised as part of the planning permission, have been made public. They do not appear in the proposed development brochure. This location is entirely inappropriate for a housing scheme; it’s far from amenities and is opposed by people living nearby. Planning permission for the golf resort was issued on the basis that the “economic benefit outweighed the environmental harm”. But the rare protected dunes that form part of the estate have been “partially destroyed” since Trump began construction on the resort, and there’s been little benefit to the community. Trump cannot be trusted to deliver on his promises for this resort, and this new development will further damage the beautiful North Sea coastline whilst lining his own pockets. What’s more, we’re signing Scotland away to a man who deals in lies and hate, which will damage the country’s reputation.19,571 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by TrippingUp Trump

STOP NUCLEAR WASTE DUMPING IN WALES!!It's one thing to deny funding towards building the Tidal Bay Lagoon, in Swansea (A green and 100% renewable energy source). Further more, to announce the establishment are funding over 100 MILLION in to nuclear power plants in UK is frankly, below the belt. BUT, to dump the nuclear waste in wales, on the belly's of our shores is audacious, to the point of beyond belief. The British Government, YOUR GOVERNMENT, are planning to dump 300,000 tonnes of toxic waste surrounding Cardiff bay. This waste will the be carried through the strong Severn River currents outwards, towards the natural, beautiful, award winning beaches of the Gower peninsular, Swansea. Towards the Irish east coastal areas. The current will also take the nuclear infected water up stream to the heart of the river, where river banks, vegetation and marine life will also be affected. This NEEDS to be prevented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD FOR THOUGHT: During the the massive media speculation around the re-naming of the Severn bridge, Prince Charles was quoted: "Why weren't the welsh people notified and asked about this" To which he followed - "No wonder they are not happy". Naming a bridge is one thing, This is another level.220 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Josh Heal

Save Greyfriars Bowling GreenIf you ever walked along Constitution Walk, behind the Gloucester City Museum and Library, you will have passed a mostly neglected area of public space consisting of a bowling green, redundant bowling club building and a sealed off public garden. With what appears to be a complete lack of vision the City Council is considering the sale of the space to developers, a space which has great potential to become a quiet, calming community garden right in the heart of the City Centre. Our view is that the garden also provides space for small community events such as mini markets, art and literature events, children activities, outdoor theatre, community picnics and mini sports events. In the past it has been used by the community to deliver numerous events: a book fair, a children’s’ summer play zone, an archaeology event featuring Phil Harding from ‘Time Team’, camp for Civil War re-enactors, a theatre and poetry day etc.164 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ellis Fincham

STOP THE DEMOLITION OF BINGHAM SIGNAL BOXThe signal box was opened in 1875 it is one of very few remaining historical sites to the everchanging and growing town of Bingham. It’s history is what makes Bingham the town it is and whilst it is important the area expands and moves with the modern times it is drastically more important Bingham as a community are allowed to hold onto its history or before we know it, we will just be another town and the history is left in the past for good. Whilst the functionality of the signal box is now dormant, it’s building and features still tells a story. We appreciate the time consuming expense and upkeep to a none functioning signal box is a hinderance but demolition should be the last resort. I have therefore personally approached all parties with a proposition which will not only preserve its history for the town and surrounding areas but will also showcase it for all to see. Therefore if you would like Bingham’s Signal Box to be saved, please sign & share my petition. Thanks.3,547 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Lara Fearn
