Dialysis is an essential treatment that keeps Renal patients alive, it is not a cure. We cannot decide whether to miss a session due to lack of funds but that is what we are being forced to do

We are requesting that Leicestershire County Council make changes to their street lighting policy to keep our street lights on throughout the night. Everyday, after midnight, our streets are plunged into darkness. This has increased the incidence of crime including house and car burglaries within the area. As residents of Oadby Grange, we feel that switching certain street lights off after midnight, results in extremely vulnerable areas that are targeted as they are totally unlit. In addition to the actual increase in break ins, the part-lighting scheme, also poses a huge risk to the well-being and safety of residents. With many residents being shift workers including hospital doctors, nurses, police officers etc, it places these individuals at great risk when entering their homes late at night in complete darkness especially since many of whom would be fatigued after working a long, late shift. As residents, we can supply a series of personal CCTV footage displaying such crimes, specifically in these unlit areas, to support our claim. It is not safe for us and we have had enough of living in fear! SWITCH ON OUR STREET LIGHTS!!!

Our population has grown year on year due to housing development and our policing has dropped from double figure and a police station to one PC covering 52 square miles and no police station. This puts our town at risk.

Cranbrook is a vastly growing town with a huge population of children under 5. In fact we are in the top 5% of the country and to take away a service that has been offered for nearly 5 years at this thriving group is a huge blow. Our group is inclusive and caters to children of all ages up to preschool and so is much more suibale for parents who have children of various preschool age. This group supports families old and new and helps people forge friendships in what can sometime be an isolating time in new parents lives, especially if they are new to the area. Baby weigh and health services were a big lifeline to new parents as they could meet other new mums and dads and often their children will grow up with the group and stay with us until they start preschool. Now we have lost this vital service, we have lost a lot of babies coming to group which in turn may mean we will not have the toddler's coming along when the babies grow up. We are aware there is a Tuesday session available but by all accounts this day is not suitable for all and by taking away the Thursday session it will put more pressure on the Tuesday group with waiting times and maybe not being able to seek the advice needed from the health worker in attendance as so many people will want the same.

It's not fair to leave the older generation on the estate without the freedom of this hourly service. Often they only need to pop into town and then return on the hourly bus. To have to wait 2 hours for a return bus is unacceptable.

Our libraries give their local communities not only the opportunity to borrow books but also provide them with the opportunity to use the internet which is something many cannot afford to have in their own homes.The libraries have for many years also been used to introduce local school children to the joy of reading. Over the years I have often been in the library when library assistants, with the assistance of their teachers , have been reading stories to them. Whilst you could argue this could always be carried out in school, which it could, the act of them leaving their school as a group and walking to the library is also teaching them how to behave in public. The libraries also provide a brilliant service to the elderly who want to use the internet but possess neither the money to be able to have it installed at home or indeed are not confident enough to attempt to use it without assistance. Librarians provide a sterling service in being able to assist them if they do have difficulty in using the internet. We have already had libraries closed within the Eastbourne area which has caused difficulties for many people but these further cuts are a cut too far. If these proposed closures are allowed to go ahead it will be mainly those on low incomes that will be affected, many of whom are elderly. Please sign this petition to stop this round of cuts but at the same time contact your local councillors and MPs to support this petition.

Homelessness causes suffering, fear desperation and can also lead to long term physical and mental health problems

Coventry Council are making the families of disabled children pay £600 a year for transport to and from school. This service used to be free, but now families are being forced to fork out. The wellbeing and education of disabled children is being put at risk. Disabled children should not be punished for going to school.

The council announced plans at the start of September to close 5 local parks in an attempt to save £13,247. These park closures are at the expense of our whole community. It is difficult enough for children to find safe areas to play without removing the places built for that exact purpose. It is so important that we don't let the council destroy our local play areas, depriving children of the chance to socialise and mingle with others; to let off some steam, to keep fit and active. Please sign this petition to show support for keeping the Furness area's public parks open! (Information sources from Reece Hanson's article in Wednesday the 6th of September's issue of The Evening Mail).

Because I am disgusted how they can just change our collection days at a drop of a hat . This needs to go back to weekly now. My bin as well as many other I know especially family's are overflowing each week and at times so long between collections that I have had maggots that I have had to sort myself. If you are in the same boat as myself then please sign my petition so that this can be sorted asap. Thankyou

The current valuation of the USS pension scheme is critically important to its members, as the results may well lead to significant benefits cuts or large contribution increases. The assumptions and methods that USS have used in their valuations are causing huge amounts of controversy, and led to the biggest strike in higher education for a generation. The 'Academics for Pensions Justice' campaign, resourced through donations by 2,000 USS members, are demanding that USS provides full disclosure of the data, assumptions and modelling approach underpinning the 2017 valuation. It is imperative that those wanting to scrutinize the workings, including the Joint Expert Panel established in the wake of the strike action, are able to do so. The current lack of transparency is indefensible and should be of huge concern to all USS members, who have every right to see the workings behind any figures USS produces and need to be sure that any claims of unsustainability are put under proper scrutiny.
