Re open Poole Public toiletsPoole Council's closure of town centre and shopping area toilets is hurting those who need more accessible loos - whether that be for those with disabilities, parents with small children and our OAPs. The alternative offered of using the toilets provided in shops does not take into account our community's needs as the shops taking part in the scheme may not be open when you need it or not be what people need. For example, I have spoken to disabled people that would not want to go into a cafe to use their wc to change themselves with their helper. One other lady said: "My husband had prostate cancer. We wouldn't have been able to go out if there were no public toilets for him to use. There are many in the same situation who rely on them." In Bournemouth, they have new disabled toilets with hoist and a changing table. Let's get Poole Council to reinstate the public toilets - particularly for OAPs, parents with small children and disabled people.1,456 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by M Scott-Martin

Install Lift access at Hedge End StationThe station is a main link for our community and at the present time cannot be accessed freely by people with children in prams and wheelchair bound. The nearest station with these facilities is Eastleigh where you have to change trains to get you back to the right side of Hedge End Station. Which involves time and hassle.212 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Gates

PRIORITY SEATS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED! #lookupgetupFor too long priority signage has been ignored. Pregnant women are left to stand, disabled people are ignored, young children get squashed and the elderly shown little consideration. Priority seat users shouldn't have to ask. LET'S DO IT TOGETHER! #lookupgetup is aimed at making sure we all take social responsibility to ensure priority seats are available for those that need them. Together we're pledging not to fall asleep, continually look at something VERY important on our phones or bury our heads in a newspaper. Instead, if we're sat in a priority seat, we will look up regularly and offer up the seat as soon as we see someone who might need it more. If you're worried about embarrassing yourself, just don't sit there. WHAT ELSE? In exchange I will contact transport providers, starting with TFL, asking them to provide better signage and promote awareness. Let's try and crack this - we have no problem telling people to stand on the right of escalators, why should this be any different? SPREAD THE WORD! If you see or know of anyone who qualifies for a priority seat and has been ignored, please tell them about this campaign!262 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kait Borsay

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

PIP AssesmentsIm asking for everybody to help and sign this petition as my dad has had all of his allowance stopped. I'm sure everyone who knows my father would agree he is not in the best health. It breaks my heart to even have to write this, but all his benefits have stopped. A man who worked so hard for years and year in ill health to provide for his family and now they take this away from him as well as his dignity make me so mad and upset. Please will you all sign the petition not for me , but for him and all the other people being denied their money through PIP! Its extremely important, because this is causing people who desperately need this money to function in everyday life . People that rely on this allowance will not be able to function without it!!! People who have medical history and have been classed as disabled already are getting no money at all or very little. They are not being assessed with accuracy!! Everyone's case is different, but through many cases I have discussed the final result has ended the same. Everything's stopped and it's disgusting !!!32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Ellis

Scrap the changes to disabled childrens transportThe London Borough of Redbridge has recently announced that they will introduce a "pilot scheme", without consultation, to force disabled children who need a door to door minibus service between home and school to instead go to a muster point on a main road and wait to be collected by a coach Children with severe disabilities will no longer be collected from their homes to attend school and instead will have to make their own way to points on main roads where they will be collected and dropped off. These children have various disabilities and have been identified by the council as in need of this service. The Chair of Children Services, said in January that there would be no changes without consultation, yet we have just been told this will now happen in September as a "pilot".3,127 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Jason Naicker

Make it policy that all personal independence payment assessments are recorded on cameraAt the present time all personal independence payment assessments are done with a representative from Atos and Capita and the claimant. The claimant can take someone to be an advocate for them but many people report that the assessor has lied on the form that they send to the DWP. E.g the claimant made adequate eye contact or did not appear anxious, when it was clearly evident that that was not the case. People can record the assessments but only if they have a device that can record two tapes at the same time so both parties can have a recording. These devices are difficult to get hold of and the claimant is not allowed to use any smartphones, Video recorders, go pro camera or a digital recorder. This is unfair. There should be an accurate video recording of each assessment.1,043 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Abi Smith

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

licensed disabled taxis must have working ramps at all times to operateMy friends and their daughter were unable to get home one Saturday evening, having to push their daughter in her wheelchair several miles, after having approached four dissabled carrying taxis in a row parked together in a taxi rank, all claiming their ramps for wheelchair access were not functional.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Collins
