The closure of the office will have a crushing affect of Coatbridge Main Street and other small businesses within the area. Over 50% of the staff within the office are on alternative working patterns such as school term time or compressed working days; to suit family life within the area. Staff relocation's are currently planned between September & November. The closure of this office is part of the conservatives centralization plans to remove hundreds of government offices out of small towns and place them within large hubs in cities.

  • Keep the Health Visitor at Tupton Tiddlers
    Many people who come to Tupton Tiddlers either can't or don't want to go to other Baby clinics because they are either too far for them to travel or feel uncomfortable going somewhere that they won't know anyone. Having the health Visitor here helps parents and carers get out of the house to meet others and form friendships when they feel isolated. It also makes sure that more people can make sure that everything is alright with their children and give them any help they need.

  • Request an independent review of how the BBC portrays the Welsh language.
    This petition was originally launched in August 2017 on the day the Welsh Government published a white paper on the future of the Welsh language BBC's flagship current affairs programme Newsnight posed the question "is the Welsh language a help or hindrance to the nation ", this was followed up in an item where the presenter suggested the Welsh language was a hobby and invited a contribution from an individual with a long track record of trolling the Welsh language. Since then there have been a number of instances where the Welsh language has received negative coverage on the BBC, with an episode of Have I Got News For You broadcast in Friday, the 30th of April, mocking the language in the name of comedy. A review would enable the preparation of a documented audit of all items relating to the Welsh language and would be able to establish if indeed there is an issue with regards how the Welsh language is portrayed and to assess what editorial systems are in place to ensure editorial fairness.

  • BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL 47 BUS ROUTE
    Because it allows transport to and from rural areas into the city center for those who perhaps have no other means of transport. This is an important issue due to the fact that many school children who lived slightly out of catchment areas used this bus service to travel to and from school; now these children are forced to be up earlier to walk to a place where they can catch one of the school provided bus services. People of an older generation who are unable to drive were able to use the old 47 service to travel to other villages or into the city, whereas now they have no other way of doing so without in some cases needing to pay taxi fares or relying on friends or relatives who drive. In particular I find it rather disgusting that the Nottingham City Transport did not advertise the cuts to the 47 services enough - because my daughter who at the time was just 15 years old, got on the 47 bus from Lambley to go to a friends in Calverton was told to get off of the bus in Woodborough because this was where the route terminated now. My daughter was left stranded and was forced to get a taxi instead. Overall this is an important matter because the points previously made.

  • Diana Princess of Wales Hospital
    Already the stroke services, and now the urology department from Diana Princess of Wales Hospital is being moved to Scunthorpe General Hospital. But for those of us that rely on our local hospital it's much too far to travel. Many of us who don't drive are left out on a limb, and find it really hard to travel to other Hospitals. It is very important because if nobody says anything, we could see this hospital closing altogether.

  • Reform grave personalisation regulations
    Families across the borough have been sent letters over the last few years demanding that they remove small items, such as toys and small wind-chimes, from grave plots. This is owing to their being apparently "inappropriate" and a "nuisance". We urge the council to review these regulations and allow these harmless and peaceful mementos to remain on individuals' graves, giving families a sombre and personal place to remember their loved ones.

  • Save Aberystwyth Paddling pool
    As the Promenade is the Jewel in the crown of Aberystwyth, it is the most popular attraction for our youngest people, and it has been allowed to stay closed over summer to save some money, shamefull

  • Bring back weekly bin collection in Bournemouth
    The streets of Bournemouth are filthy and the smell of decomposing waste fills the air. It is fast becoming not only embarrassing but also a health and safety risk.

  • Stop charging for parking at Pugneys
    It's a great place for wakefield people to visit so why should we have to pay for it? The parking here used to be free but now we have to pay. The carpark isn't tarmac its just dirt just like it was years ago when it was free. So who do we have to pay now for the exact same thing.

  • Sort the bins issue in Southampton
    Since the bin collection has been reduced to 'save money', the area has quickly become unhygienic, smelly and full of flies and vermin. It's reducing residents' quality of life and making the place undesirable to both visitors and regular inhabitants. Southampton City Council state that 'there will continue to be an efficient waste and recycling collection that meets the needs of residents' - having spoken to several members of the public, this is not the case. It is not meeting our needs as citizens who pay council tax for the upkeep and maintenance of our local area and frankly, it's making the city an unpleasant place to live and work in. While we appreciate funding cuts are being made from centralised Government, we would argue that this is not a 'non-essential service' as Southampton City Council's website claims. Surely the upkeep of the city is in fact a very important service, on so many levels - for our general health, wellbeing and happiness, and for keeping heavily populated areas cleaner and healthier. The council also claim that reducing these services will encourage more recycling, but as the recycling is not being collected any more regularly than before these changes, it is hard to see how this is having any kind of positive impact. Please sign this petition to help us campaign for a cleaner, healthier city that we can be proud to live in.
