Introduce bus service from Dundee to Stratheden HospitalHundreds of students (nursing, medical and allied health professions) are placed at this hospital a year from Dundee University, Dundee & Angus College and Abertay University (and the surrounding area) and using public transport can take up to two hours to get there and back even though it is only a 30/40 minute journey. Its not only students who would benefit from this, stratheden has staff, visitors and patients who would find this bus route useful. At present, anyone getting to Stratheden Hospital via public transport has to get a bus from the hospital into the town centre of Cupar (which only runs once an hour so you often have to resort to a taxi) and then wait to get either a train into Dundee or another bus. The hospital itself plays a big role in mental health care within NHS Scotland but is currently facing a staffing shortage and from personal experience I believe this has a lot to do with how unaccessible the hospital and as many of you may know, staffing & student shortages leads to poor care delivery. I urge anyone who works at the hospital, is a student and understands the struggles of travelling to placement, someone who understands how important good staffing levels within the NHS are or just anyone who wants to support the cause to please sign this petition. Thank you.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J H

Improve bus times for workers!So many people rely on the bus service to get them to and from work. First bus york dont take into consideration the staff that start as early as 7:00am. The number 7 McArthurglen route is one of the busiest park and ride services there is so they would be silly not to put extra busses on. The number 9 and 3 service runs as early as 6:00am and 6:30am so why can't the number 7 route?9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sammi Hardy

Put a domestic abuse/violence lead in every workplace in the UKFigures in 2011 showed that here in the UK £1.8bn is lost in economic output, since then grants have been cut, refuges have been closed and Domestic Violence has increased. People suffer in silence because they are so ashamed of their situations, those lucky enough to have a job are often too scared to disclose because they fear losing something that is possibly the only constant thing in their lives.99 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacqui Kershaw

Keep Kingsway Golf Course open in ScunthorpeThe Kingsway Golf Course has been successful for many years in getting new people interested in the sport of golf, many people who cannot afford the cost of joining one of the local golf clubs have been able to enjoy the game due to the availability of the course at Kingsway. Currently the course is being allowed to deteriorate, the is a huge shame as I have seen many young people coming to play the course during the school holidays only to find it unplayable due to the councils decision not to maintain it. I played my first round of golf on this course, encouraged by one of my friends to have a go without any of the pressure of teeing off in front of experienced golfers at a club and I know many local people who have taken up the sport using this course. Please help me keep this opportunity open to our young and not so young people in the area44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Neil Herrick

Unlimited attempts to take Literacy and Numeracy Skills Test for PGCE Teacher Training CoursesIf you cannot pass the tests in your third attempt, like me, then this holds you back from becoming an outstanding teacher. 2 years is a lot of time and it holds students back from wanting to teach because if you cannot pass after 2 years then you have to wait for another 2 years. I would like unlimited chances to pass Literacy and numeracy skills test to be put back to action because the government is loosing so many highly skilled student teachers as they are unable to pass their qts tests. I am sure most PGCE students would agree with this.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emine Aladag

Unfair vehicle excise systemDrivers are losing out on £1000's each year when changing vehicles. The seller only gets back up to the end of the previous month the vehicle is sold, and the buyer has to tax the vehicle from when they didn't own it. It's morally wrong and no excuses now there is no printed disc.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Bird

Reinstate the Mental Health Unit in MedwayThe Mental Health Unit at Medway Maritime Hospital was closed in 2013 by Jeremy Hunt, this was short-sighted and a mistake. A third of all police time is taken up having to look after mental health patients, time that could be better spent tackling crime. Since the closure, KMPT (Kent and Medway's health and social care trust) has spent more than £5.6 million on out of area referrals due to a shortage of beds for patients.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Castle
