• Save North Manchester Wellbeing Centre
    The Centre was opened by people who really cared about the support available when life seems so hard. Old fashioned community support and ongoing help for each other can't be provided on the NHS but it can be provided by local people who care enough to volunteer their time and energy to run the service. Our Centre has been described by the people who use it as being a family where there's always someone to listen and offer help. We can't lose this valuable community asset that we the volunteers have put our hearts and souls into, so please show you think this is important too and sign the petition.

  • Night shelter provision
    Following the Homelessness Reduction Act, which came into force in April 2018, local authorities have a duty to provide interim accommodation for “all people found to be homeless and in priority need” and “In determining who is in priority need, housing authorities will need to be aware that ‘an applicant may be considered vulnerable because of a combination of factors which taken alone may not necessarily lead to a decision that they are vulnerable (e.g. drug and alcohol problems, common mental health problems, a history of sleeping rough, no previous experience of managing a tenancy)” We, the undersigned, call upon the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk to follow on from the successful night shelter funded by Churches Together and fund a night shelter 7 nights a week as part of the interim accommodation

  • Retain common good land for public use and ownership.
    As an answer to austerity, the simplest solution for councils to save money is to just give land away to reduce maintenance costs. Urban greenspace is very important to the community, it is owned by the public (not councils) and may never be returned.

  • Fair Funding for Shropshire's Mental Health Services
    Our mental health services have been so dangerously underfunded, there aren't enough Psychiatrists, Psychologists, mental health nurses to support the thousands of children & adults who have a neurological & /or mental health problem, to enable them to function. We need a service that is fit for purpose, especially since January, when a teenage lad with aspergers wasn't deemed to be in crisis & was given an appointment for 3 months time. He sadly couldn't wait that long & walked in front of an early morning train. We need to tell the MP's of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin & NHS Management that mental health needs a decent percentage of this funding, before we lose anymore of our community!

  • Removing the white road markings in front of Haigh Hall!
    The Haigh Woodland Park is a local treasure and is enjoyed by people from all over the borough for walking, running and cycling. The approach to the Hall is stunning and with the placement of road markings the aesthetic has been ruined completely. Furthermore, these road markings give the clear impression that cars now have the first priority - which should never, ever be the case in a country park where people are trying to enjoy the outdoors and get away from cars for a few hours. There are some great initiatives at Haigh Woodland Park and they should be commended - but this is a disgrace and judging from public sentiment locals and regular visitors are extremely upset and angered by it.

  • Clean Air for Ulverston
    Traffic fumes kill more than 20 times more people than road accidents (40,000 compared to fewer than 1,800) and damage health - including children's lungs. Research says making streets traffic-free can increase footfall and trade by up to 40 per cent. That and a 20mph limit would make the town a healthier and more pleasant place to live.

  • keep 387 running around ridge hill after the 9th of april!
    as this is a large estate, ridge hill will have only 1 bus service running on the estate and expecting people especially those who are disabled like myself to walk 400meters to the hospital using the 389 which is ALWAYS FULL and no one likes to move to let us disabled sit down. i for one rely on the 387 to get directly into the hospital and i not being the only one thinks this is a disgrace. and all done without a public consultation!

  • Save Sandy Lane - waste site under threat - again!
    Opening hours at Sandy Lane have already been reduced but the closure of Sandy Lane will mean residents of South Warrington are faced with journeys across the town, to recycle their rubbish. This only contributes to Warrington's traffic congestion, something we wish to reduce. Please sign this petition to urge the Council to keep Sandy Lane open - or provide alternative recycling facilities in South Warrington

  • Save Warwick House to keep our elderly community safe
    Warwick house day centre in seaford East Sussex is under consultation for closure which was found out by carers for the clients who mainly suffer with dementia and disability and over 65 years of age. This was three weeks ago but a further document has been tracked back to October 2017 confirming it will close to save £59000. It is proven that without this service these clients will be isolated vulnerable and at risk, in addition many cannot cater for themselves so likely to cost escc increased costs for lunch and tea visits circa £1000 per week so no annual saving My mother attends she is 88 and this centre is a lifeline to her enabling her to remain at home with care in morning and evening and Monday to Friday she attends the centre is able to socialize exercise and be stimulated and receive lunch and tea of which she contributes greatly to her care financially. Remove this service she and her friends will be isolated at risk to Day to day tasks and her dementia condition will rapidly deteriorate. Most of this community have paid their due to this country for over 60 years and they need to be cared for in their final years, my mum has family around her but some of these clients have nobody, please stop this closure it is shortsighted and just escc balancing the books and saving the accountants jobs, my mum will really suffer if this centre closes please support

  • No charge for green waste
    The citizens of Suffolk Coastal already pay significant amounts of council tax, in which waste disposal is included. There is no reasonable explanation to why we should be trying to find extra funds to support a service that is already included.

  • You Gov Poll Suggests Benefit Claimants Should Not Be Allowed To Vote
    Benefit claimants are the largest section in society to be living in, or at risk of, poverty. This group of people are more likely to vote Labour. Calling into question their right to vote undermines democracy and normalises the view held by many that they are separate underclass who simply do not count. This is an outrageous affront to free speech and would set a worryingly dangerous precedent, as other societal groups could then be denied a voice as a result. ---- Further clarity : Same Difference (samedifference1.com) shared a poll from You Gov market research stating the following .. "Please say whether you think each of the following groups should or should not be allowed to vote in General Elections in the UK (Should be allowed to vote / Should NOT be allowed to vote / Don't know) Non-British citizens living in the UK ; British citizens currently serving jail sentences; British citizens aged 16 and 17; British citizens who receive more money from welfare benefits than they pay in taxes". https://files.38degrees.org.uk/items/files/000/001/366/display/benefit-vote.png
