• Save Woodchurch Leisure Centre
    If this proposal is passed we feel it will be the start of the demise leading to permanent closure of this very valued community Leisure Centre. We are all being urged to keep healthy and fit by both the Council and NHS England and swimming is one of the ways they advise, so closing a popular pool is not acceptable. Woodchurch Leisure Centre needs investment not closure. Please sign this petition and help us stop these unwanted changes.

  • Stop the Velo South Cycle Event - 23rd September in West Sussex
    The event will hold hostage thousands of residents in their own homes around the 100 mile route for up to 8 hours, cost local businesses real money, risk the livelihood of farmers and welfare of farm animals, all for the commercial gain of Velo South. West Sussex County Councillors were not able to democratically vote on this and neither were Chichester District Council nor the Parish Councils.

  • Save St Luke’s Swim Academy
    St Luke’s Swim Academy is a fully inclusive, non competitive swim academy that gives children aged 7-14yrs the chance to train with a squad, these children may not have the time, funds or ability to train with larger competitive clubs. At St Luke’s they can learn race techniques and build on their stamina while keeping fit and making friends. St Luke’s also provides training, support and employment for young people who have chosen swim coaching as a career.

  • A city-wide ban on single-use disposable plastics
    Please help us get the 3,500 signatures needed to enable a debate at a full council meeting of Bristol City Council. So far, many people have signed a paper and e-petition calling for Bristol to introduce a city wide ban on single-use disposable plastic across all uses where the council has power. As a local resident I am setting up this supporting version of the petition on 38 Degrees to spread the word further and make it easier for more people to sign it. We wish to show the council how strong the desire is to bring about the positive change that we need. You can easily and quickly sign via 38 Degrees and your name will be counted, or you can do it on the council’s website using the link below, but the latter method involves creating an account with a password and logging in: https://democracy.bristol.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=13&RPID=1964100&HPID=1964100&$LO$=1

  • REDUCE THE VOLUME & SPEED OF TRAFFIC ON HUNTS-FIELD & CLOVER-FIELD
    THESE ROADS ARE BUSY WITH RESIDENTS, CHILDREN AND DOG WALKERS. MOST RESIDENTS HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND THE INCREASE IN THE VOLUME PLUS SPEED OF TRAFFIC THAT 'CUT THROUGH' THE ROAD IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE ROAD HAS A NUMBER OF BENDS AND A HILL - IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS.

  • An Honour for Watch Commander Michael Dowden of the Grenfell Tower fire
    On arrival, Watch Commander Dowden was confronted with what should have been an ordinary flat fire. He and his crew were fully conversant with the techniques that would have allowed them to deal with such an incident. It quickly became apparent, however, that this was no ordinary incident. The defective cladding that had been installed around the block allowed the fire to spread rapidly and engulf the entire building. No-one could have imagined that such a scenario would ever occur in the UK. Watch Commander Dowden was in sole charge of this incident for over an hour before a Senior Officer arrived to take over. His performance far exceeded what would normally been expected of an Officer of his rank. It was only Watch Commander Dowden's actions on arrival and subsequently until his relief that prevented the death toll from being much higher.

  • SPEED RESTRICTIONS FOR THICKET ROAD Se20
    There are 2 care homes with disabled residents, school children, families, park users and pedestrians on Thicket Road. Residents are scared to walk the pavements, road users are out at risk. Speeding is constant and violation of the one way system rules are regular. Nightime "racing" and mopeds are hazardous. Traffic and reckless driving are common throughout the day. This road has been described as "hell" and a "race track" and it is time that Bromley Council consider residents above statistics.

  • BAN NORWICH CITY COUNCIL USING GLYPHOSATE
    We must reduce the amount this chemical is used because of the wildlife and nature impact. The bees are unable to live around this chemical and the plants it's used on. Bees are in serious decline and need our support. Tests support it is carcinogenic to humans too, can be linked to cancer, liver and kidney damage, diabetes. There are many other means available online to give ideas for how to replace this chemical and rid the streets from weeds. We managed before this came along and we have a moral duty to manage now, for the bees and insects, and human wellbeing.

  • Stop cuts to 666 bus services between Faversham & the William Harvey Hospital Ashford
    The recent changes to the 666 bus service are a barrier preventing access to vital healthcare services. Timetable changes introduced on the 3rd June 2018 have seen an already limited service dramatically reduced. Prior to this date Stagecoach ran 7 daily services on weekdays between Faversham and the William Harvey Hospital. The new timetable changes now mean only 2 services per day run between Faversham and the William Harvey Hospital. These changes adversely discriminate against those with limited mobility, the vulnerable and the elderly users of this bus service, who previously used the 666 as it served as a direct route to essential health services at the William Harvey. For many users, the increased journey time and problems of changing onto a connecting bus at Ashford Park Street has made this journey dangerous and distressing.

  • FREE public tennis courts to under 16's

Potential big win to society - no loss to the council. Our slogan: "An empty court serves nobody."

  • SAVE OUR CARE HOMES
    These care homes provide long term and respite care. A lifeline for residents and families. Mcwhirters House in Larkhall and Kirkton House in High Blantyre are scheduled for closure without proper public consultation. This is a disgrace! The next phases will see the closure of Mcclymont House in Lanark and Canderavon in Stonehouse. The overall scheme will see the introduction of a hub that will provide transitional care only and will offer no replacement for the loss of over 100 long term beds in South Lanarkshire. This can only lead to disaster. Communities must be consulted. We must value our older people and offer true choice. For some that may be long term care in a care home, for some that may be care in their own home. Each are individuals and should be treated as such.

  • Reduce Crime! Keep Whitchurch Street Lights On!
    Current crime levels in Whitchurch have dramatically increased recently, particularly car/van theft, burglaries and shed/garage break ins. We, as Whitchurch residents, believe this is partly due to drastic cuts to our local policing budget, meaning we regularly have no active police officers within a 15/20 mile radius and also the fact that half of Whitchurch is plunged into complete darkness at 12am. This means that even if you can hear something happening outside your home, you cannot see it and would not dare venture outside as there could be no police back up for over an hour! We want our lights to stay on to stop Whitchurch being a ‘free for all’ for criminals coming in from other areas, using the cover of darkness which make us an easy target!
