  • Raise wage for suicide prevention lines workers.
    Suicide prevention hotlines work incredibly hard every day to save endless lives and the fact they get paid only a little more than minimum wage is terrible.

  • Premier League should invest in grassroots football in Merseyside
    The younger generations of now and the future are becoming increasingly restricted to play the game that dominates our sporting world. Their desire to play and fulfil their dreams of becoming the professional players of the future are hampered by a lack of suitable pitches to play on. Waterlogged unsuitable pitches are on the increase due to lack of funding, making this 'winter sport' only possible in 'fairer' weather conditions. The Premier League continues to grow and will generate over £5bn in the next 3 seasons in broadcasting rights. The Government must encourage the FA to ensure that 7% of this goes to fund grassroots football nationwide but our pledge is to secure funding for Merseyside. How do we encourage the future generations of football that their dream is possible when there are fewer and fewer suitable places to play? As a nation we invest in and support our teams at the stadiums, through broadcasting, buying their merchandise in addition to sharing the joys of victory and never losing hope with losses, surely its time for something in return to ensure that the youth of today can be given every opportunity to develop into potentially our future professionals.

  • Tax Insurance Company Profits To Put More Police On The Streets
    The current insurance system is broken. The more crime there is, the more premiums increase, and yet none of that money is ever used to prevent crime. It is not in the insurance companies interest to reduce crime, because that would mean they would have to lower their premiums (and hence profits), rather than increasing them every year. I propose a special tax should be levied on insurance companies, and that the money raised should be fed back into the Police's budget to put more officers on the ground, thus reducing crime. It would be a win for the good people of this country, and a win for the police. The only people that stand to lose anything by this arrangement would be the insurance companies, and I seriously doubt anyone really cares for their profit margins! As an example, my car insurance has increased by £400 this year. I haven't moved, I haven't had an accident - it's simply down to the fact that the area I live in has seen a spate of thefts. Surely, that £400 would be better spent on police, rather that ending up in the coffers of some insurance company.

  • Bring back swimming in Bolton!!!
    This is important to the community because for a variety of years prior to now people have had to travel to swim and enjoy themselves, in which is difficult for people in certain circumstances lately. It is important for people who have children as they may not be able to travel so far or may not be able to afford to travel so far and pay for a swim also. This is important for those who don't drive. This is simply because it is easy to attend to and it is easy to pay public transport too if we had one much close to home. This is also important to those with disabilities. Simply because their carers may not be able to travel so far with the wheelchairs and walkers etc and may not be able to travel certain distances with their family members. This is important because people in certain situations like these could use these fun pools for education of some sort and would benefit from this increasingly! Persons like these are missing out on bundles of fun! Yes we have swimming pools in and around Bolton but each and every single one is basic. We want a swimming pool with slides and inflatables to be able have fun with instead of swimming lengths back and forth for hours! We want somewhere to swim with friends and family, we want somewhere to swim and have fun with these people and somewhere to make more memories! This would also create a variety of job opportunities for those who are looking to be employed and would also benefit from this too.

  • STADIUM YES BUT NOT FUNDED BY CORNWALL COUNCIL
    We all agree we’d like to see Cornish rugby and football played in a new purpose built stadium but to ask Council tax payers, already reeling from a 5% increase for next year, to stump up £6M is a step too far. In effect, this would mean us subsidizing two private companies, who right now have respective gates of around 200 and 1000, to build a 4000 seat stadium on the premise that any shortfall will be made up by business conferencing and miscellaneous courses from Truro College - and it’s far too small to host an Adele concert. So, people in Bude and Saltash will be paying for facilities at the other end of Cornwall but, worse still, any reasonable person knows that the £6M will not be the end of it. Will the two clubs be able to generate enough income to pay for long term maintenance? The Pirates are already subsidised by generous benefactors. What if these individuals drop out? Other stadiums (Coventry, Chester and Hartlepool for example) are in financial trouble. If Cornwall Council really has £6M to spare there are plenty of other ways they could spend the money. • Reverse the decision to stop funding all Cornwall's Day Centres for elderly, special needs, or children. • Ensure that local needs for the many are met rather than building a stadium for the few who want it. • Or even fix our potholes. There’s a Council Meeting on April 17th to discuss this so - if you don’t agree with them spending your money in this way - sign and share this petition and contact your local councillor.

  • Fibre for the 5%: Fix rural broadband not-spots now!
    Rural communities have been abandoned by the Government and Openreach to an increasingly difficult life without any broadband. The 5% of homes without basic broadband provision have been dismissed by Openreach and abandoned by the Government, as Openreach declare 'superfast' roll out done and now focus on 'ultrafast' fibre broadband for towns and cities. Broadband is increasingly needed for everyday life. Extremely low broadband speeds, suffered by the 5%, makes it impossible to access basic services like online banking and shopping, but more importantly means small businesses are closing, children are losing out in their education and whole communities have no access to necessary online services. We want the ultrafast fibre roll out to start with the 5% who don't have broadband now! Communities like my own, Wellpond Green in Hertfordshire, just 30 miles from London, need your help to join the 21st century and get broadband. Don't let our children grow up without access to the internet! We call on Margot James to force Openreach to ensure all rural communities receive fibre broadband in 2018.

  • Council Tax to be paid by ALL private landlords.
    In the street where I live more than 75% of the houses have been bought by private landlords who have converted them into multiple occupancy properties for students. The average house now accommodates 4 to 5 individual rooms paying an average of £100 per week each. And yet the landlords pay no council tax at all. Each of these houses produces more refuse than an average family does and yet they pay nothing towards bin collection or any of the other services that the council provides. At a time when local councils are struggling to provide basic services it is totally infuriating to see private landlords making huge profits from students without making any contribution to the local councils who provide the services we ALL benefit from.
