• Houses of Parliment
    The UK would enjoy money from the extra tourism, the relocating the Houses of Parliament would save a lot of tax payer money. The old Houses of Parliament would become a bigger tourist attraction giving money back to the tax payers pot and put towards better healthcare and looking after the elderly.

  • Routinely Grit Roads Leading to Boldmere Infant & Junior Schools
    700 pupils aged 4 to 11 travel to Boldmere Infant and Junior schools every day. The road loop leading to the schools goes downhill, round 2 sharp bends and uphill. When it snows or is icy, this compacts and it's usually the last area to retain ice, making it very hazardous indeed to drive the roads and walk on the pavements. My children and I have slipped countless times, and watched cars skid, even when driving slowly. Many of the houses on these roads do not have driveways so residents and parents park on the road, leading to traffic problems on the school run. Whilst many children walk to school, ice and snow make an already hazardous area even more treacherous and it's only a matter of time before something awful happens. Please sign this petition and ask Birmingham City Council to remove this needless hazard from the lives of 700 children, their care-givers and local residents.

  • Do not withdraw the 34/X bus service to Braintree/Great Notley/Bocking
    There's been hardly or no consultation on its withdrawal and if the Council want to revitalise the High Street in Braintree, it's not going to be very helpful if no one can get there. Not everyone has a car, perhaps disabled or have children so driving isn't always an option. The council has an obligation to provide a means of access to the local town for those old, disabled, unable to drive. If companies are still permitted to put profit before services then Braintree will become a dead town. It's bad enough that empty units are booking shops (I think we have at least 4 of them), numerous charity shops, 2 pathetically sized supermarkets and that's the only reason to visit. The council has its priorities upside down. No customers = no High Street. No public service = more parking requirements. Is there any reason to visit Braintree anymore? The rate it's going it's a dying town and it's all down to the council not promoting the correct priorities. Apparently we're a Portas Town, well other than a few posters, I don't see any appreciable difference other than multiplication and monopolisation of Tesco in the area. If you're going to build another 20,000 houses here, then you're going to have to give them a reason to come. Another Tesco or public transport won't cut it.

  • Fining the homeless
    With homelessness increasing across the UK and Northampton we should be dealing with the causes and spending money providing shelter, food and helping folks out of this situation. People asking for food and money are usually in need of society's help not punishment. People not in this situation are damn lucky though with societies safety nets being burnt by this government we may be far from being homeless or in need, so please support this petition.

  • Give us a lift - Warwick station.
    I'm sure we are not the only residents who've had to carry our kids up the station steps in a buggy, before running to the front of the station and back again just to get a ticket? As residents we are now called to join the fight to ensure disabled travellers and parents with pushchairs do not lose out on the vital upgrades.

  • Increase spending NOW on health and social care to a minimum of 10.6%GDP
    The NHS is the embodiment of British values, free healthcare to all at the point of access. Social Care is entwined in healthcare. We need to stop the collapse of the NHS and the Social Care system now, and the only way we can do this is by putting enough money into the system to allow it to work. Telling the local councils to raise money through local taxes is not enough. This is a national problem for a national service, and it needs more money raised through taxes.

  • Scrap Council Tax
    Council tax is unfair because it doesnt take ability to pay into account but is based on the value of your home not your income.

  • Opposition of the proposed English language test and fees for all private hire drivers
    However the proposed English language test for the all private hire drivers has not been properly consulted on, offers insufficient transitional arrangement and lack of support to existing drivers to meet the requirement. We call upon the mayor to withdraw the policy pending further consultation, improved transitional arrangement and full support to those existing drivers required to obtain formal qualifications.

  • Stop the ticket rip off
    Enable real fans to purchase tickets at face value rather than feeding greed of others. Tickets are being purchased with the sole purpose of being resold for personal gain. This happens with sports events, music events and theatre events. It is wrong and needs stopping. To stop this practice would be easy.
