• Speed Calming Measures in Harpsden Road, Wilson Avenue and Watermans Road
    The residents need peace of mind and relaxation at night so speed calming measures need to be put in place to stop our cars being damaged or written off, animals being killed and prevent the injury or death of a child as a result of people constantly excessively speeding, motorbikes doing wheelie's and mainly driving like lunatics. Our roads are used as a quick cut through, with vehicles usually driving faster than the 30 mph speed limit on a regular basis, in an attempt to beat the traffic on the busy Reading Road and then used as race tracks at night. The result of this behaviour is lots of damage to vehicles and losses of beloved animals. My daughter's car that she didn't know she had was written of by a speeding driver who fled the scene leaving no details early hours of 1st October 2017, as reported in the Henley Standard. Numerous cars have been side swiped or had wing mirrors damaged by speeding vehicles and we sit and listen to the screeching of brakes and await the bang of the collision on a regular basis in the evenings. I personally have witnessed a couple of cyclists being knocked off their bike's and motorcyclists doing wheelie's or tricks up the road, animals being hit and killed while the driver carries on their way without stopping. This needs to stop!!! It was bad enough when the road was covered in potholes but since it has been resurfaced it has become 10 times worse at least. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a pedestrian that is badly/critically injured.

  • Save Our Shirehill Hospital
    It is the only hospital left in Glossop. The people of Glossop have to travel 7 miles on an extremely busy route to their nearest A&E hospital at Ashton under Lyne. Shire Hill provides excellent care in the community as well as a thriving pysiotherapy unit.

  • Save Langdale Wood
    This proposed development in Langdale Wood will have a huge impact on trees, tree roots and vegetation, plus great disturbance to many birds, butterflies and other insects. It will greatly reduce the amount of woodland available for local families to enjoy and add to the traffic problems at Blackmore Park Road. There is no evidence that this development will bring any additional significant benefit to Malvern but may have a negative impact on existing accommodation providers and local camp sites as well as damaging and reducing the Woodland. Please support our campaign to get this development halted and protect our Malvern woodland.

  • Save the Whitehawk Inn East Brighton, Community Centre for Life long Learning
    This centre provides vital services to the local community that helps transform peoples' lives through providing information, advice, guidance, education, creative art and free activities. It helped save my life after my husband's suicide acting as a second family that gave me my autonomy back. I benefited from their classes, meeting new friends and now as a thank you I volunteer and fund raise for them.

  • LGBTQ issues to be taught on the U.K. high school curriculum
    As a homosexual male, most of my high school career was spent being bullied for something that I hadn't come to terms with yet. It was never explained in school the difference between acknowledging that you're gay and accepting it. I remember this was never taught in class. But why does it matter? A report for Stonewall, found that nine in ten secondary school teachers say students in their schools are bullied, harassed or called names for being – or perceived to be – lesbian, gay or bi

  • Keep Rydon Out Of Our Hospital
    The Whittington Hospital Board have decided to appoint Ryhurst, a subsidary of Rydon, to co-ordinate and manage the proposed Estates Strategy. This is the company that refurbished Grenfell Tower, prior to the devastating and tragic fire, and more locally the Chalcots Estate. There has been no community consultation regarding this irresponsible, insensitive and crass decision to appoint Ryhurst. We do not want to see parts of the Whittington Estate, covering community and in-patient health care across Haringey and Islington, sold off. Ryhurst will be entitled to share the proceeds with the hospital - to pocket OUR health funds, paid out of OUR health taxes. Staff could lose jobs and health service provision could be cut.

  • Save Our Beach
    There has been public access to this popular local bathing spot for generations. Now the council want to sell the former youth hostel and surrounding land, including the beach and grassy areas, for private development. We feel that this area is an important community asset much loved by locals and visitors alike, and that public access to the riverside area must be preserved in perpetuity for future generations.

  • Ban the Sale of Fireworks to the Public
    Fireworks are a blight on all peoples lives as well as our animal kingdom. They are too loud and cause great destruction killing or maiming animals and humans. Also the loud decibels of the fireworks has a detrimental affect on those that have served us and have PTSD with being in war-zones as it reminds them of bombs etc going off. There are also idiots setting them off causing mayhem and cruelty to animals and other humans hence another reason to stop the sale of PUBLIC FIREWORKS!!

  • Stop the sale of The King's Regimental Silver
    It is important that this Silver is kept as it represents the history of a regiment of the british army which has served with distinction in all theatres of battle. It should also be kept as the regiment has served the cities of Liverpool and Manchester and are ingrained in the cities history's. If you are a true veteran of The King's Regiment you will sign this petition without thinking what others will say. It is your history your father's history your grandfather's history and in my case my Great Grandfather's History and the reason I joined the regiment. The Silver in question should be shared out to Regimental Association's and Regimental Museums within the relivent cities museum's so it can be displayed. If this can't be done it should be stored until a place can be found for it to be displayed. Please sign this petition.

  • Save the Dolphin Public House
    It is important because this building remains in daily use by both villagers and visitors. The Dolphin public house forms an integral part of village life and without this facility a key social meeting place for both younger and older generations would be lost. It should be acknowledged that Stoke Hammond has already had an exceptional percentage of new properties built and is already over it’s recommended quota identified by the local authority. To allow this significant building to be demolished and replaced with more dwellings would be against the wishes of the local community.

  • Save William Doxford & Sons Entrance
    Doxford's Pallion or West Gatehouse The building we are hoping to save was the original main entrance to Doxford's Shipyard and Engine Works and is located on the former western boundary of the Pallion Shipyard. William Doxford, a timber merchant, started the shipbuilding firm in 1840 at Cox Green, moving to Pallion Shipyard in 1857. Soon after this date, marine engineering evolved as a new discipline in response to the transition from sail to steam and the associated move from timber to iron hulls. Doxford's was one of the first companies to respond to the new demand and developed an engine works in the West Yard in 1869. Doxford's Gate was later built as the main entrance to the works; this part of the site being occupied by the company for 119 years, throughout its most prosperous period. Between 1905-1907, Doxford's had the highest production of any shipyard in the world. The Gate was constructed at around this time, probably c.1903, during a phase of pre-war expansion. The Gate is regarded to be of considerable heritage significance, in terms of its communal, historic and aesthetic value. The Gate is one of the few surviving physical reminders of the 'story' of the Doxford company and reflects the wider history of shipbuilding across the region. The Gate would have been the first building visitors would see when entering the engine works - when built the most advanced and prestigious building of Doxford's yard. As such, it was the main 'public face' and image of the company. However, it also served an important practical function, housing the time clock where workers would clock in and out each day and included the Commercial Office (within the North Pavilion) where new clients and contacts were met and entertained. We believe the building should be saved by way of careful demolition and reconstruction somewhere near Keel Square in the developing cultural and heritage quarter of the city. It would make an ideal Shipbuilding Heritage Centre to inform future generations, and preserve the memory, about the long and proud shipbuilding history of Sunderland.

  • NYCC open enquiry into failure of Ings Primary School Skipton
    There are currently 7 primary schools Under the NYCC care in danger of closing. We have already lost 3. In an ideal world Ings would remain open, and the heart of the community however as this now seems futile I feel that there needs to be a full investigation into why we have got into this situation, and how we are going to prevent it happening again. I would also like it to be investigated why we are closing these schools yet allowing private developers to put in planning for two new schools in the area- both of which will be owned by an academy or free school, meaning they will no longer be under any of NYCC remit- a massive safeguarding issue
