  • Re-instate the School Crossing Patrol in Canford Heath
    This road crossing is very dangerous especially during school drop off and pick up times. It is difficult to cross this very busy road during these times for pedestrians, and it is hard for drivers with two very busy junctions in close proximity and restricted views of both sides of the crossing especially when large vehicles including buses are turning. There are three schools within close proximity, Ad Astra First School, Haymoor Junior School and Magna Academy making this crossing very busy with a large proportion of pupils crossing without an adult. From a pedestrian point of view, the junction has been deemed too dangerous for an individual to stop the traffic, yet it is ok for our children to be left to cross the road alone. People are witnessing children stuck on the island in the middle of the road waiting for cars to stop, which is incredibly dangerous. From a driver’s point of view - without the school crossing patrol - the pupils assume the traffic will stop and wait. There can be a constant stream of pupils attempting to cross the road which is causing traffic jams down Adastral Road. Driver’s do not want to stop due to the high volume of people waiting and it halting their journey. There have been a couple of instances where traffic has gone to pull away and a child has run across the crossing, making it very dangerous.

  • End the archaic and oppressive regime of sanctions at DWP
    It's a matter of principles in belief and defense of the last remnants of the welfare state of which a slow and deliberate attempt has been made to eliminate to the benefit of nobody in society. It's also in contradiction of human rights legislation recognized on an international basis...

  • Save Our Number 36 Bus Service
    The proposed cuts to bus services would severely restrict people's ability for travel: • to and from work • visiting friends and relatives • To access education and training • access to hospitals, doctors, dentists and other medical services • access to leisure activities including town and countryside locations Fewer buses will mean more traffic congestion and delays which affects all of us.

  • Save Liverpool Libraries
    My name is Elysce. I am 11 years old and live in Liverpool. My favourite thing to do in the world is read, and hope one day to become an author and that people will read the stories I have written. I have read hundreds of books and love finding new ones in my library. I think it would be an awful thing to take away the books from people. If I do become an author when I am older, people should be able to visit the libraries and read my stories. I love visiting the libraries in Liverpool, and my mum was happy that I spent lots of time in the summer holidays visiting them. I also went to a 2 week camp called "book it" my mum has told me that the council paid a lot of money for me to go, and that they are partners with the company who organised it, so what I don't understand is, why encourage children to read, and spend a lot of money getting them interested in it, and all of a sudden take it away!! Please please please support and help my to stop the libraries from closing in Liverpool. I couldn't imagine how boring life would be if we had no books. Someone once said: "In the library one often finds, people close their mouths and open their minds" I really think that this is true. Thank you

  • Moratorium on A&E closures and hospital reorganisations
    - Local people, across the country, are demonstrating that they are opposed to reorganisation plans - In many place there was totally inadequate consultation about plans for A&E closures and wider hospital reorganisations - Urgent Care Centres are an untried alternative to local A&Es - A&E services are under severe strain at present - further reducing these as we come into winter means lives will be put at risk - Reorganisations are driving an increasing privatisation of our NHS together with the Health and Social Care Act and growing threats from TTIP The petition is the initiative of Save Our Hospitals: Hammersmith and Charing Cross.

  • Save Bedford Hospital
    Without a hospital for the whole of Bedford and its surrounding area lives will be lost! Milton Keynes is our nearest hospital already overstretched because of the growth of Milton Keynes.

  • SAVE DRAGON AND OTHER LOCAL LEISURE CENTRES
    Bodmin has had swimming baths for decades and the success of Bodmin and District Swimming Club is testament to its worth. The potential closure of this popular leisure and health facility is serious. Former club member Cassie Patten competed in Olympics and other local swimmers have had great success. Tennis, hockey and football players alike have been successful in their chosen sports following coaching at the facility but more importantly, local school children from Bodmin and surrounding areas learn to swim and engage in sports here. Engaging in positive activities such as sport raises aspiration in children and young people and Cornwall Council can cut costs in other areas without detrimentally impacting upon local communities in this way. There is little else positive to do in Bodmin and other similar towns; there are only do many hairdressers and charity shops one can amuse themselves in. If a well used and popular Bodmin Dragon Centre facility is closed as a cost cutting exercise, what does it spell for similar facilities in the rest of Cornwall?

  • Statutory Youth Service
    Currently there is no statutory obligation placed on local authorities to provided a Youth Service via the respective Councils in the UK. Recently, this has meant that councils when faced with Government austerity cuts have chosen to cut vital services to our young people. Through these draconian measures many Youth Centres in the hearts of our communities have already faced forced closure and hundreds of thousands of young people now face a much reduced range of services, support, guidance and now lack access to opportunities to acquire critical life skills. Youth workers who have trained over three years to become professionally qualified are being put out of work after many years of loyal service. The young people in disadvantaged communities, in particular, are being harder hit by these measures. For many vulnerable young people their locally provided service is a lifeline and is a much needed supported pathway to a more productive, happy and fulfilled adulthood. Up and down the country young people, communities , supporters and their Youth Workers have been trying to resist these cuts - but a much louder voice is needed to ensure that services are put on a statutory footing - helping to prevent even more cuts and the betrayal of our young people in the future. With your help and public outcry we may be able to ensure our young people receive the necessary services, opportunities and support that so many so desperately need and rely so heavily upon. Please help.

  • SOS: Save Refuges, Save Lives
    Two women are killed every week in England by a partner or ex-partner. These are the women who desperately need these specialist refuges. Last year Women's Aid member organisations supported nearly 10,000 women and over 10,000 children in refuge accommodation. However, on one day alone in 2013, 155 women with 103 children were turned away from the first refuge they approached, primarily due to a lack of available spaces. From 2010 to 2014 the number of specialist refuges declined from 187 to 155, leaving many more vulnerable women and children at risk and without specialist support. Closures of specialist refuges will cost lives. Help us to keep these services open for the women and children who need them. Help us Save Refuges to Save Lives.

  • Reverse the Beeching Cuts
    It will encourage many people to commute by the railways to get quicker travel and cheaper payments. In addition many people are asking for their railways to be brought back especially in North Wales. My Dad would use the railways more then he would use the car.
