• Stop the closure of Aldi Hylton Riverside Park
    The local community rely heavily on this store. The store is a vital part of life for some of the customers. Especially the elderly. They have formed bonds with the staff there and like the store as it is smaller than others and feels more welcoming. The local business too would suffer as the majority of people come to the park solely for Aldi and then visit other retails while there. It is a very busy store and I can’t understand the closure.

  • Stop the PMs plane being painted
    The UK is going through turbulent times, people are going hungry, losing their jobs. This is not the right time to spend £900,000 on rebranding a plane. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53082294

  • Cancel Council Tax while we are in lockdown
    Because the government have locked us down, preventing people from earning money, getting people laid off from their jobs, shut down businesses causing many people to go into poverty and depression due to worrying how they will continue to pay there mortgages/rent/bills and how they will afford to eat and yet we are still expected to pay full council tax costs each month which are high and unaffordable for many people at the moment. The government should help people out by cancelling this until lockdown is fully over and they should be more sympathetic to the stress we are all under in these worrying times.

  • Stamp Duty in Scotland (LBTT)
    I realise that during Covid 19 it is only fair to accept that to a certain degree a governments focus can only be on the one thing. but it feels to me, that while this has been happening, the Scottish Oil Industry has crashed with very little news coverage or government intervention. 1000's of people have lost their jobs, 1000's of people are now in the position of having to sell their homes. the stamp duty must be reduced to encourage buyers which in turn assists the many in dire situations to sell their homes quicker before facing repossession or bankruptcy.

  • Free parking in Ashby car parks whilst on street parking is suspended
    Ashby is famed for it's independent, often small businesses who rely on local footfall. The provision of free parking will help alleviate at least some of the impact of the restrictions currently in place on Market Street and give local shops and businesses a fighting chance to begin to recover financially.

  • Save Rolls-Royce jobs with the green power revolution.
    During this time of pandemic it is not too early to plan for the aftermath. Britain will emerge into a different world economy faced with the challenges of global recession, rising inequality and poverty, and the deepening effects of Climate Change. It is imperative to begin to plan for change, and to demand change. We cannot abandon the workers from whole sectors of industry as we did in the 1980s. We must instead plan to change our economy, and support workers through this transition. We must change how we obtain energy. Fossil fuel use is releasing carbon dioxide which threatens to render significantly more of our planet uninhabitable. This also threatens our food supplies, homes and workplaces with extreme weather, particularly drought and flood. Renewable energy is still being rolled out and continues to develop; it is the way forward. Any power station that you don't have to pay to put fuel into will be cheaper in the end. Rolls-Royce should be prioritising research and investment into sustainable energy generation and storage. The city of Derby has a workforce of artisans, engineers and scientists with world leading skills that can be put to use to build a new energy infrastructure. The 2020s should be the decade during which Britain steps into the green heat of the technological revolution. Rolls-Royce plc. can be a leader in the green power revolution in Britain. The people of Derby demand that that our MPs, councillors, trade unions and community groups, convene a local recovery committee to transform our city for the common good; and to assist Rolls-Royce plc. to lead the way as a 21st century manufacturer, employing the talent which will develop and make green energy products in Derby.

  • No bailouts for tax dodging companies
    The government is handing out billions of pounds in bailouts to big companies who are struggling due to the coronavirus crisis. This is really important to support the economy and keep people in their jobs. But some companies have dodged their obligations in the good times by not paying their fair share of tax. And now many of these same companies are asking for a handout when things get tough. This isn’t fair on the rest of us who do contribute. Paying taxes is essential to help fund public services like the NHS, schools and our care system. The Fair Tax Mark has set out three clear conditions for bailouts. Any big company getting a bailout should lift the lid on their tax affairs, disclose who ultimately profits from their activities, and promise not use tax havens and tax avoidance schemes. Politicians in Scotland and Wales are taking action. The UK government has announced it's putting legally-binding tax conditions on just one bailout so far - for Cesla Steel. Join us in calling for Rishi Sunak to make sure that all big companies getting bailouts pay their fair share.

  • Pay rise
    Very important as incentive in recognition of their dedication and hard work cause by virana virus pandemic. Increase of income is necessary to meet their ends meet with the potential economic meltdown instead of giving flowers, clapping or flying balloons because of their diligence in performance of their duties even their health is at risk with the virus.

  • tax relief for essential workers
    I as a front line emergency service worker, have worked extra hours and put myself and my family at risk dealing with Covid Infected patients. My latest wage slip, I have been deducted over a 1/4 of the money earned in Income Tax and National Insurance. I have had no opportunity to work from home or be furloughed for my family or my protection. I find the tax taken from me at this time, highly unfair. This is a petition to support all the ESSENTIAL WORKERS and ask for a tax relief for all those who have worked above and beyond in this global crisis
