The David Moore Gallery at Y Gaer, BreconThis is important because David Moore should be recognised as an inspired man who put Brecon on the map for Contemporary art and also for obtaining for the town, important pieces of work by Internationally renowned Artists as a permanent legacy. He built up the temporary exhibition gallery over a period of twelve years, developing Brecon as a 'go to' place for exciting and educational Art.114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Veronica Gibson

Concessionary fares scheme for 16 to 18 year oldsA Wiltshire wide concessionary fares scheme should be considered by Wiltshire Council. Many of these young people are in full time education and have no access to there own transport. And in many cases if there is public transport the price is beyond there reach.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by TERRY CHIVERS

Change Crayke Primary School to 20mph zoneSchool kids have to cross between parked cars, meaning it could only be a matter of time before an accident happens as heavy good vehicles, cars and trucks use the road in a 30mph zone. Because of parked cars, traffic is reduced to a single lane - meaning there is a great deal of congestion. We have the opportunity to influence Hamleton Highways and the police who are coming out to access the situation and with your help we can make this happen for the safety of our children. Most villages I have driven passed have these clear marking and is a 20 mph zone through out the villages.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Claire Walker

Save Governors WalesGovernors Wales has been the voice for all school governors throughout all of Wales since 1995, and the services offered have been second to none. They have forged links with Governors Associations and networks and have provided excellent advice and documentation such as The Handbook for School Governors as well as a comprehensive website and confidential helpline. They were instrumental in introducing the Bronze Award as a benchmark for all governing bodies to aspire to, which has subsequently developed into the self evaluation template. Their staff have attended association meetings bringing valued information to those in attendance. This service is invaluable to all governors who give up their time freely and is at present I feel not being represented elsewhere. Governors are being charged with more and more responsibilities while the tools required by us to carry out our duties are being withdrawn or reduced to a minimum. Whilst we acknowledge the work of Consortia in supporting both our schools and teaching staff they are at different levels of development and Governors need support at ground level and Governors Wales the voice of governors is needed to ensure this. I would suggest a review of the Welsh Government draft budget is undertaken as a priority and that consideration of using some funding from regional consortia is further considered, to enable Governors Wales to continue to do their excellent work in supporting governors across Wales. Please support this petition as we cannot afford to lose this service.396 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Nigel Burnap

STOP UNDERFUNDING DEVON'S SCHOOLSWe, the undersigned, deplore the continued underfunding of Devon’s schools. This policy disadvantages both the children of Devon and the future prosperity of the county. The current funding formula has imposed cuts to Teaching Assistants which will have a negative effect on both the inclusion of Special Educational Needs children and the development of ‘Gifted and Talented’ children. The continued underfunding of Devon Schools will undoubtedly inhibit the future prosperity of the County, goes against the policy of inclusion and will impact on the social fabric of generations to come.419 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Ian Williams

Free London Transport for StudentsLondon is most expensive city in the UK, with extremely high living cost. At the moment students only get 30% off travel cards and 16-25 cards only allow 30% off of off peak single fares, but must pay the full price for peak fares. Why should students have to pay to go to university when they are struggling to afford everything else. The cost of education is expensive enough, why should we have to pay more. Help students out and let them travel to university for free.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S E

Petition For 6th Form Girls to be Permitted to Wear TrousersThis is important to us as we feel strongly that the benefits of wearing trousers hugely outweigh the negatives. Some of which are; The policy of wearing only skirts encourages the objectification of young girls, and therefore has led to many girls becoming extremely self conscious of themselves, when they should be focused on their learning. It is understood that we can be penalised for having our skirts too short, this would easily be avoided if we had the option to wear trousers as the boys do. We live in the 21st Century where there are millions of women in the work place who have highly demanding and professional jobs, most of which wear suits, with trousers therefore it cannot be argued that trousers on girls does not look professional. Gender fluidity is a common thing in today society, we should allow everyone their rights to express themselves how they feel they want to, under the school rules of course. However not allowing females to wear trousers when that is how they want to present themselves in plainly immoral and depressive.167 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rosie Watts

Dangerous parking outside schoolsSafeguarding our children has to be a top priority. Irresponsible and illegal parking around schools is increasingly dangerous. This is a national issue. Current legislation is inadequate and councils do not have the funds to place wardens at all schools to enforce the legislation that is currently in place.203 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Digman
