Save Silverdale libraryLancashire council are currently weighing up plans to close 37 libraries. The plans have been called "unnecessary" and "shameful". But there's still a chance to save our libraries. The council have said that “They are proposals not done deals. I think we’ve proved we listen to people.” So a big petition right now could be enough to save them from the cuts. Libraries are more than just a building with books in, they are the heart of our community and much needed as social network!6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ray Lee

Save lives by installing cameras & barriers on Stratford RoadThe council have stated that they will not take steps to improve this area until there have been fatalities. Why? It seems ludicrous to wait for this to happen when there could be improvements made quite simply. There have been several accidents at this site and this whole area is made more dangerous by the lack of speed cameras in this area of the Stratford Road. Residents have described seeing cars regularly travelling at excessive speeds (day or night) which of course will make any incident more serious! They have also described constant skidding, racing, speeding and boy racers/motorbikes doing wheelies around the Island. As a result, residents have heard and witnessed some upsetting road traffic collisions(RTC's) including injuries since the Island has been built. The railings at the pedestrian crossing have been totally destroyed in an incident that happened on a Sunday morning at 7.30am - 3rd July 16.There were actually 2 accidents that morning and one the day before. A temporary barrier has been put up but this has been either blown or knocked down leaving pedestrians totally exposed to danger! This crossing is now too dangerous for people to use, which is potentially lethal considering the speed of the vehicles travelling here. THE COUNCIL CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE RAILINGS DUE TO COST - we would like to ask them to reconsider. This is an accident hotspot which could have a tragic incident at any moment. We would like to ask you to make it safer BEFORE a death occurs.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Louise Freeman

Sack the Transport Minister - Get our train system backThis is important because it should be possible for all sections of society to travel peaceably and with reasonable certainty to their destinations safely and on time. The present minister has been instrumental in promoting the railway companies to engineer strike action which she can avoid instantly by telling them to stop all such actions and leave the system as it is. By not doing that and avoiding her direct responsibility in this she has forfeited her right to be a minister of the crown, as she has clearly demonstrated that she is prepared to let millions of the electorate suffer day in day out for ideological reasons only. This is an abdication of her supreme responsibility as a Minister of the crown. We the electorate are now no longer willing to tolerate her and the railway companies able to inflict this economic and human stress on the population.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gerard sauer

UKIP MEP'S: Donate EU salary to the NHSAlthough not part of the official campaign, Nigel Farage and UKIP did nothing to dispel the claim that we could give £350 million a week to our NHS. Already however, it has come to light that this is unrealistic, which has led many voters to feel they were misled by those who promoted Leave. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing. MEP's earn around €96,000 per year. Although the UK has voted to leave the European Union, until Article 50 is triggered (which as it looks now, could take some time), the UK will still send MEP's to European Parliament. Having campaigned as they have for the UK to leave, and against the European Union, it no longer seems fair they still take their approximate €96,000 yearly salary, plus expenses. Either they should stop claiming EU money, or it should be put to better use. We are asking them to give it to the NHS as a gesture of how committed they are to improving the service.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ethan Warren

Keep UKIP OUT of No 10As British and most of all being human, we have no room in our society for racism, it is a backward policy. We have hope that entry of a racist party into Downing Street is not possible, as the electorate is now becoming more cautious. However the result of the 23rd gives us cause to act. We need to protect this country for the greater good.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ina Shambles

Removal of Webspace & Email Address'sLot's of people of a certain age still use email to communicate to the wider world. Email is an old friend, it's more personal than a text and you have a permanent record of whats been said if required. Why are the big companies like BT, EE and Virgin Media removing this service for their customers saying it is no longer required. Lets prove them wrong. Please support this campaign. Thanks11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ronald Dryden

Private and State: Make Education Spending FairIt is utterly immoral that one child can have more spent on their education in one year (£24000 at the most expensive public schools for non-boarding pupils) than is spent on another child for the whole of their secondary education (it can be as little as £4000 a year). I went to one of those expensive schools (albeit back in the 1970s) and have worked all my professional life in the state system. The unfairness of a society in which one school can barely fix a roof while another is busy putting in a second theatre or an olympic swimming pool. Why on earth do we tolerate it? It doesn't have to be this way. Finland, one of the top performing education systems in the world, has no private schools at all. For many successful systems private schooling is very unusual. We may not be able to shut private schools, but who could resist the moral case for a system where all children had the same money spent on them, to give them all the same start in life?1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Kinder

Stop Scottish Councils Investing In The Arms TradeWeapons kill people. The companies that manufacture weapons profit from selling them to states which kill people. A more peaceful world means less weapons are required which, in turn, would hurt the profits of arms manufacturers and the dividends of public money investments. We should not be relying on dividends to help fund our local authorities when those dividends only increase as more weapons are sold. This is morally wrong!

keep the mobile household refuse sites in Selsey and WitteringsThe removal of this service will cause more flytipping. Alternative site is 11 miles away putting more traffic on already overstretched road network. Many users of site are elderly, they will not want to drive that distance, also the mobile tip on a friday keeps them gardening and socialising159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by lynne seabrook
