Sony is planning to release Detroit: become human; a video game in which a young girl can be abused and killed by her father. The author of the game, David Cage, says it's a beautiful story and that the girl isn't really a victim as the player can 'choose' to save the victim however the player can also choose not to save the victim and allow her to die at the hands of her father (one of the trailers shows the father's hand around his dead daughter's neck as he says, Daddy's no longer angry). One review, by Damien Lawardom, talks about it as "the most relatable game of 2018", and describes the trailer as a "heart-rending display of domestic abuse". We believe the game to be potentially highly damaging. Abusers will get off on playing the game and young children interacting with the game, in spite of it's age classification, are likely to be inspired to use violence and abuse as a way to solve their own issues. Normalising abuse the way that guns and violence have been in movies, TV and games, sets a terrifying precedent. Please sign this petition and let's stop this game, and others like it, from being classified and released where they include scenes of child abuse. Abuse is a crime not a game.

It has been the heart of our village for well over 100 years and we rely on it for our day to day banking

Donald Trump shares hatred and doubt in a space where tolerance and love should exist. It is inexcusable to allow the so called leader of the free world to give a platform to a party of hate. Twitter have even admitted that the tweets were controversial and suggested they would otherwise violate its rules, but because of the newsworthiness of Mr Trump's tweets, they are allowing them to stay up. They would otherwise likely result in either the post or his whole account being removed.

CARE have worked very hard to improve Raigmore Estate with 2 parks and a skatepark already installed, the addition of this bunker and exterior space would greatly improve what we can offer. The Civil Defence and Emergency Service Preservation Trust have transformed a bunker in Dundee and will do the same with this one. This facility will be available for tours and bookings and will be restored to its functional state. In addition CARE plan to run a community cafe, to rent workspace to locals, meeting space for groups and an outdoor area for events. All profits will go back into the community. We would greatly appreciate your support to make this happen.

Hari Singh Nalwa academy is situated at Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara on East Park Road in Leicester which is the hub and heart of the community. The academy has been running for over 4 years promoting health and fitness within the community. The academy currently offers classes in strength and conditioning, boxing, Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu, the academy services 100+ people (of all ages) per week and is continuously being improved upon, not only in the number of classes; coaches; equipment but also brings in Sangat into the Gurdwara and can be seen as a safe and positive environment especially for the youth of today. The committee have decided that they want to move the Academy to a much smaller space to make way for a new wedding hall. The space offered to the academy is barely one third of what it currently is. This is a backward step by the committee and will have a detriment affect to the academy, community and Gurdwara as the academy brings in people from all walks of life. Please take the time to sign this petition to show the committee how important this academy is and that downsizing it, will be downsizing the number of youth and even adults coming to the Gurdwara.

Libraries are often one of the last free to use public hubs in towns and villages where services have already been drastically cut. Reducing Northamptonshire's libraries and potentially leaving only 8 would be devastating for this semi rural county. These important buildings don't just house books they provide modern meeting places for many clubs and groups as well as community events, meeting rooms, internet access and a host of other services. To lose the libraries and with them some children's centres and elderly respite provision would be a real tragedy for our thriving communities leaving us without access to vital services.

The Carlton Tavern Pub is a non-designated heritage asset of strong architectural and historic interest to the City of York. It is also a much-valued community asset in Acomb and Holgate. The Victorian Tudor-style landmark sits in landscaped grounds surrounded by mature trees, and adds greatly to the character of the area. A purchase proposal has been put forward to refurbish the pub and provide holiday accommodation for race goers and visitors to York, as well as a community pub, restaurant and deli. The community interest company would run a training and support programme for local young people, the long-term unemployed and start-up businesses that would invest profits back into the surrounding area. Despite all of this, the demolition of the Carlton Tavern is now proposed as part of a luxury residential care-home scheme, without proper consideration of options that would enable the building to be kept. The City of York Council has already approved its demolition at their Planning Committee meeting in October with a finely balanced tie vote of 6-6 swung by the Committee Leader. However, scrutiny of the decision-making process from the Victorian Society and local residents has resulted in the Council going for an unprecedented re-vote on this issue. The re-vote has been earmarked for the next Planning Committee Meeting on 13 December. This means that we have just a small window now to make sure that Councillors know how much we value the Carlton Tavern as both a historic building and as an Asset of Community Value, listed by your Committee earlier this year. City of York Councillors, please don't approve the unjustified demolition of the Carlton Tavern again!

The libraries are very good for studying and a quiet place to read, but Northamptonshire council are thinking of closing up to 28 of our 36 Libraries in order to save money. Three options have been put forward: two would shut the doors of 21 libraries; the third would close 28. We think that ALL of the libraries should be saved.

"Six million cigarette butts are dropped on the City's [London] streets every year and we spend £3.8 million cleaning it up, it's no small problem."[2] Cigarette butts are the most common form of anthropogenic (man-made) litter in the world, as approximately 5.6 trillion cigarettes are smoked every year worldwide. Of those it is estimated that 4.5 trillion cigarette butts become litter every year. [3][4] If we are to promote the United Kingdom as a 'climate-conscious' nation, we must be willing to make implementations that go further than Congestion Charges, Renewable-Energy quotas, and CO2 emissions controls; it stands to reason that changes to everyday materials and consumption, creates visible ripples. In an age where environmental policy is in a constant tug of war between skepticism and economic interest, a simple measure such as this would set a cost-effective benchmark for other nations. One out every 5 pieces of litter encountered, is a cigarette butt[5]; imagine a world where within one generation, our children would never have to see another wasted filter ever again.

In Britain we have fewer holidays than our European neighbours. Why not match the precedent set by the marriage of Princess Anne in 1973 and declare the wedding day a public holiday?

This is important because David Moore should be recognised as an inspired man who put Brecon on the map for Contemporary art and also for obtaining for the town, important pieces of work by Internationally renowned Artists as a permanent legacy. He built up the temporary exhibition gallery over a period of twelve years, developing Brecon as a 'go to' place for exciting and educational Art.

This is important for the local buskers and for the community as a whole. with the ever expanding and growing town and ever increasing population comes art and culture. Buskers do a good job of entertaining the public and providing light entertainment generally in a professional and pleasant manner. Some of the buskers in Telford, of which maybe 10 are regular, rely on their busing monies to support them in their daily lives. Food, Water, Electric.. the essentials. It also has farther reaching benefits amongst those who struggle with mental health difficulties who use busking as a way to interact with the community where otherwise they wouldn't. This 'LAW' is designed to remove art and culture and to shut down buskers from being heard. it is supression of the arts for the benefit of big business.
