Learning is THE most important of activities. Education costs money. Why should money be wasted to make private individuals (the directors of the agencies) rich?

The Mitchell is one of Europe's largest public libraries and the Main Reading Hall with the leaded glass ceiling is the most impressive and inspiring of the rooms. In spite of this, it is not enjoyed by the public or visitors to the city. The room lies unused during the day. The original wooden tables and chairs are currently in storage.

Being passengers in wheelchairs should not be made to wait at bus stops sometimes for over an hour to wait for the next available bus. Also in 2004 a disability law was brought into the country by the government at that time to help the disabled.

Blackpool's major asset its tourism. However when the tourists come here they are greeted by rubbish bins that are overfull. Rubbish is strewn over the streets and no one is cleaning it up. The council need to keep on top of this to present a cleaner town for tourists and residents. It is unsightly, unhygienic and puts off residents and tourists alike. The petition is being put up here due to Blackpool council not allowing petitions on their own website.

National targets for recycling cannot be reached while some manufacturer’s plastic packaging provides no information regarding recycling. Meanwhile others state the container is recyclable but not the lid, and others place onus on consumers to check local policy. Councils and customers are expected to play their part in recycling - What are manufacturers doing?

Brighton and Hove receives an invaluable service from this department. Any reduction in its' services will lead to pain and misery for both animals and humans in the community. Charities such as the RSPCA cannot manage this workload alone!

I want Merseyside to make a stand against Goverment cuts disguised as Austerity. Millions of pounds have been slashed from council budgets by central government, thousands of jobs have been lost and services affected. Local government in the North West has been hit harder by spending cuts than any other region in England. The government points out that we will still get far more funding cuts over the next 5years. So far it's estimated North West councils have had their budgets reduced by a third since the general election.Merseyside as a City Region has seen cuts over £1billion. We cannot accept 'Cuts' as a means to progress.

TTIP is a free trade agreement between the US and EU. With the difference in laws in these countries, this deal threatens multiple areas of our lives. Our online safety, our food safety (The US use chlorine to preserve chicken), our cosmetics, our right to protest, the building blocks of democracy, our environment and our free health services.

Civil Parking Enforcement has at its heart legal principles of fairness, justice and public service. On all three counts , local councils and central government including the department of transport have repeatedly failed to provide clear directions to the 'operation' of the system within the meaning and spirit of the law. There is a clear lack of imagination and the wrong uses of technology. No road user sets-out to break the law , cause congestion or invite upon themselves costs they have no budget for. Who wants to go for a £40 shop and pay a £60 parking fine ? Now is the time to reform the parking 'regime' for economic gains , user satisfaction , improved revenues based on positive actions , new jobs and the latest technologies .

Free boilers are given to people on benefits but not to pensioners on low incomes who do not receive benefits. Every year many pensioners die from the effects of cold and others suffer needlessly as they shiver in their own homes. They should automatically qualify for this scheme. Benefit payments are to be capped at £500 per week for couples and £350 per week for single people. This should be the level of income to qualify pensioners for free boilers - £26000 and £18200 respectively. A new combi gas boiler could tansform, and even prolong, the lives of many people who have worked all their lives and now find themselves with the dilemma of "eat or heat".

Humanitarian need in the same way 1945 holocaust victims were helped. Grasping the fervour And desire for so many Brits feeling "I wish I could do something practical to help whilst Politicians both local and national ring their hands in fear of their political life
