Cheshire East's withdrawal of some supported bus servicesThe saving of £1.6 million would be counterproductive as cutting bus services in Cheshire East will have undesirable consequences and cause distress and inconvenience to many residents. We believe that the following groups would be more adversely affected; the elderly, disabled and infirm, the young and people on low incomes. Getting to work, shops, schools, colleges, doctors, banks, social events and hospital appointments would be made more inaccessible. We also believe that trade in towns and town markets will be affected. The stopping of evening services will have a negative affect on restaurants and pubs and other social groups. We are concerned that the withdrawal of bus services will result in more cars on the road and significant reduction in air quality. Many of the towns and villages are growing in size and as a result we should be given improved services not declining ones.797 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Paula Eaton

Tax Abuse and AusterityIn the continuing debate relating to public sector pay caps, the rhetoric is being consistently presented that the choice is between responsible restraints or tax rises. What is being quietly ignored is the vast amount of money, counted in many £Billions, that continue to disappear from the UK into secrecy jurisdictions each year. Austerity is an ideologically motivated policy designed to transfer wealth from ordinary people (in this case nurses, teachers, police and fire officers, etc.) to the pockets of the wealthy, and it continues to work just as designed. Ordinary people continue to suffer real-terms pay cuts whilst businesses and wealthy individuals carry on cheating the system.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Graham Driver

Scrap the public sector pay capWe all saw the brave police tackling the terrorists at London Bridge, the firefighters rushing in to tackle the Grenfell fire, the paramedics running to help the people caught up in the Manchester terror attack. And every day nurses working round the clock to keep our NHS going. Our public sector workers keep the country ticking over, from the emergency services who are there when we need them to the teachers who pass on knowledge to future generations. These people shouldn't have to worry about whether they can pay their rent or the electricity bill at the end of the month.274,598 of 300,000 Signatures

Make It Easier for Renters to Obtain a MortageIt is important to realise that even people who are on the middle or lower income bracket are entitled to homeownership, even if they haven’t met the minimum income requirements or do not have millions to show in their bank statements. People have different means to cope with their limited budget, and being able to work through their tight finances and manage to pay rent on time is more than enough reason to help these people purchase their own home. Mortgage Advice Brighton started this petition with the goal of helping tenants throughout the seemingly impossible path to homeownership. Join us in our fight by signing this petition today!2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Keith Daniel

Tell Sainsbury's Not To Abandon FairtradeSainsbury's have started a trial of its own 'Fairly Traded' label to replace their support of the Fairtrade certification scheme. The Fairtrade Foundation is an internationally renowned and respected certification scheme, which empowers and supports farmers around the globe by ensuring they are paid a minimum price for their produce, as well as a financial bonus which is reinvested in their local communities in the form of education, pensions, and sick pay. Fairtrade ensures that the entire supply chain of companies is independently audited, and their work directly helps those living below the global poverty line. Whilst not perfect, they are the gold standard in ethical trading. Sainsbury's is the latest in a line of companies who are choosing to abandon their support of Fairtrade in favour of their own schemes. Where Sainsbury's differs from some other companies though, is that they had been such a large champion of Fairtrade, that their potential withdrawal from it could start a ripple effect which could lead to the beginning of the end of the scheme. Whilst Sainsbury's' own scheme will guarantee a minimum price for producers, the financial bonus will no longer go straight to the farmers that deserve it, but instead will have to be approved by a Sainsbury's foundation. This directly disempowers farmers who work hard to produce the items we take for granted in our weekly shops, such as tea, coffee, sugar, and bananas. Farmers will no longer be guaranteed this bonus, which can run into thousands of pounds and make a critical difference in poorer parts of the world. Michael Gidney, CEO of the Fairtrade Foundation says that the Sainsbury's scheme does not meet Fairtrade’s core principles, particularly in the area of “producer empowerment”. Many people believe that Sainsbury's are introducing this scheme as a cost-cutting measure to improve their own bottom line. Urge them to rethink their policy and not to abandon their support of Fairtrade.

Keep Barclays Bank on County Road LiverpoolThe bank sits in a ward already suffering from high deprivation and local people rely on their services to access their money. Barclays offer basic bank accounts ideal for people on low incomes and facing challenging times. Liverpool has had 58% of its funding budget cut from services since 2010, and the closure of this bank would be another blow to local people already bearing the brunt of government cuts.190 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kay Davies
