Save Our Vital Mental Health Lifeline!Because for more than 520 people, it's a life-saving, life-affirming space where they aren't judged and they can feel safe and supported. We desperately need a continuation of the service No.10 provides. Demolition of No.10 doesn't begin until January 2017, which will mean that currently the building will be left empty for four months from September 1st.495 of 500 SignaturesCreated by John Viner

Save Sally the lollipop ladySally the local lollipop lady for my sons school Burraton primary school is being cut. People drive too fast along the stretch of road outside the school and without her in place it is dangerous for the children. The council have decided to cut 19 sites throughout Cornwall and without these men and women in place it is dangerous for the children. There are no alternative crossings for the children to use in the area. Always polite and curtious the lollipop men and women are not just a safe way to help the children cross the road but also help teach Road safety and manners. Without them in place I believe we will see an increase in accidents and even deaths along the stretches of roads they patrol. The 19 sites are 1 REDRUTH, WEST TREWIRGIE ROAD 2 DELABOLE O/S SCHOOL 3 SALTASH, LISKEARD ROAD 4 ST COLUMB MAJOR, NEWQUAY ROAD 5 REDRUTH, JNCT CLINTON ROAD HEANTON TCE 6 TROON 7 SALTASH BURRATON, FAIREMEAD ROAD 8 CALLINGTON NEW ROAD 9 FALMOUTH ALBONY ROAD 10 DOBWALLS ON CROSSROAD 11 NEWQUAY, ST COLUMB MINOR ON PORTHBEAN ROAD 12 SENNEN 13 ST AUSTELL, MOUNT CHARLES WOODLAND ROAD 14 CAMELFORD CLEASE ROAD 15 NANPEAN 16 CAMBOURNE FOUNDRY ROAD 17 CAMBOURNE DOLCOATH ROAD 18 NEWQUAY TRENANCE ROAD 19 NEWQUAY EDGECUMBE AVENUE Please everyone sign and share this1,630 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Stapleton-Yabsley

Save Adlington LibraryOur libraries do more than simply loan books. They provide events for children, internet access for the elderly, book clubs and more. They’re places for the whole community to come together and learn. Libraries are a door into the world, we need to protect them for future generations.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Hesketh

Save Barrowford LibraryBarrowford Library is an active and much-needed resource, with users ranging in age from the very young to the very elderly. A dedicated and professional library service is a must in any civilised society and the scale of cuts proposed to Lancashire's library facilities are unacceptable. The library has regular reading and dedicated events for children and a variety of library-based activities for locals. The removal of the library and sale of the building would mean that there are no other community spaces to do these activities. Once removed these facilities will not be replaced. Barrowford is a growing community and should not be deprived of a library.173 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Gregg

SAVE MUSWELL HILL LIBRARYMuswell Hill Library is under threat! 1. Haringey Council are trying to close Muswell Hill Library so that they can sell off the building. 2. They want to fund projects elsewhere in the borough. 3. Muswell Hill Library is a listed building of great significance - yet the council claim "investing in this building is not a priority". 4. Instead they are offering a downgraded library service in a dark, oppressive space with low ceilings, beneath a major luxury flats development. 5. There will be no disabled parking or possibility to set down passengers with limited mobility - despite being located on one of the steepest hills in London. 6. The 'consultation' only offers two possible options - stay in the existing building with no improvements, or move to the alternative site. Our Campaign 1. The Friends of Muswell Hill Library have been given a quote to improve the existing library for just £60,000. 2. We are campaigning for Haringey Council to go ahead with this option 3. This modest cost would cover a lift, a disabled toilet, better disabled access 4. Haringey Council claim that these minor modifications would cost £680,000! This is 11 times more than the true cost! 5. Catherine West MP has written to the leader of Haringey Council in support of our campaign. What can you do to help? 1. Sign this petition - and get your friends and family to do so! (link goes here). If we get 2,220 signatures we can trigger a Full Council debate! 2. Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/save.muswell.hill.library 3. Spread the message in the media and follow us on Twitter @FriendsN10 4. Go to www.haringey.gov.uk/survey/mhl-consultation and fill in the questionnaire. Respond ‘Strongly Agree' to Option 1 and ‘Strongly Disagree’ to Option 2. Remember to click the ‘Submit’ button. 5. Write to the responsible councillor, Bernice Vanier - you can email her at [email protected] 6. Write to the responsible civil servant, Zoe Robertson - you can email her at [email protected] 7.

Save Lancashire's LibrariesLibraries like my own in Kirkham are an active and much-needed resource, with users ranging in age from the very young to the very elderly. A dedicated and professional library service is a must in any civilised society and the scale of cuts proposed to Lancashire's library facilities are unacceptable. Libraries in Lancashire do more than just provide books. They have regular reading and dedicated events for children, active creative writing groups, web-based learning sessions, book clubs, additional clubs, poetry readings and a variety of library-based activities that cannot be undermined nor shifted to an inappropriate location. Access to a "comprehensive and efficient" library service is covered under the 1964 Public Libraries and Museums Act, with additional elements located in the 1998 Human Rights Act and 2010 Equality Act. Our Libraries provide an essential and eclectic service to the local community, and this factor should be a major consideration during any consultations, as per sections of the 1964 Public Libraries and Museums Act, with additional elements located in the 1998 Human Rights Act and 2010 Equality Act.4,836 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Claire Stephenson

DON'T RELOCATE HEREFORD PROBATION SERVICEHereford Probation service has been a great help to myself in learning what and who I want to be after a long series of poor choices. If they relocated the service lots of patrons would not be able to attend due to the rural area we live in. Other factors would be many of these people are on benefits or have low incomes and it would eat a large portion of their living allowance causing many people to suffer unnecessary hardship. The staff would no longer be able to provide home visits and many people who suffer with disabilities mental and physical would be put through unnecessary stress. The drop in service and counseling that many people rely on would no longer be available possibly causing an increase in crime as many people find comfort in being able to discuss their issues with a familiar team as in some cases these are the only people they've got to reach out to.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Bailey

First Bus Cuts Scottish BordersThe bus services in the Borders are vital life lines to may people young and old the removal of the town services in Hawick and Peebles will mean that many older residents in these towns will miss out on links with other parts of the town and the wider borders if these services are removed. The removal of the College bus service from Hawick to Galashiels will mean that young people from Hawick may miss out on training courses at Borders College which would help improve there education and life. The other services that are being cut will mean that those places loose there vital link and their elderly resident loose out too.2,964 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Grieve

Save Hinckley Cottage Hospital, Leics. From being closed down and the land sold!Hinckley Hospital is a small and much used healthcare facility in the heart of the town of Hinckley. It provides day care surgery and other day procedures to the local community who cannot travel out of town. It provides extensive Consultant outpatient care and all professions allied to medicine. Hinckley Hospital was built in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. It's a fine example of late Victorian architecture and solidly built. Since its inception it has been extended, always using local builders to continue to be the hub of Hinckley health care for its residents. Given its significance& history it is very surprising that Hinckley Hospital is not a listed building. Hinckley residents will inevitably be denied care if they are forced to travel for health care.7,297 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Ann Pendlebury

keep kentish road centre openIts very important, carers need a break from the daily job and the person with the disability gets a break way from the carer without Kentish road the carers will be at there wits end. Kentish road is a god send for us carers and the young adults that go there as this is where they meet there friends they cant go to pubs or clubs to meet friends. But Southampton city council have not looked at any of this, they want it close it to save money and I as a parent just think its all so wrong. We have to fight this with a petition now to stop it from happing.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by belinda felton

Save Poole Hospital A&E and MaternityOur A&E and Maternity units at Poole Hospital are essential for local people. The road networks between Poole and Bournemouth are dismal and travel times are very unpredictable, particularly during the summer season. This means that the proposal for closure of these essential departments is extremely worrying. Local A&E staff, paramedics, doctors, midwives and police all have deep concerns about these departments being closed or relocated since longer journey times can put lives at risk. Poole Maternity unit currently caters for mums from a wide geographical area and travelling to the proposed new site in Bournemouth would be time consuming for pregnant women and their families which could potentially result in delays in treatment and care. Poole Hospital needs to keep its successful maternity service so it can continue to provide safe and effective care to the community. Other departments within Poole Hospital will also be put at risk if the A&E unit closes including Paediatric and Neo-Natal care - this is appalling for local people. A&E and Maternity units are vital services for patients - why should people in Poole be put at risk by poorly thought through and misguided cost-cutting like this? PLEASE STOP THIS MADNESS.26,531 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Sean Perrin
