Reform grave personalisation regulationsFamilies 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.392 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lewis Hancock

Bring back weekly bin collection in BournemouthThe 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.486 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Kerry-Ann Dickinson

Stop charging for parking at PugneysIt'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.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John Balmer

Sort the bins issue in SouthamptonSince 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.1,015 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Laura Lamb

Make London's Buses Accessible For EveryoneSo that blind people can feel comfortable when travelling on public transport and it allows them to have equal opportunites as other people.There have been many times where blind people are disoriented and need to stop fearing getting onto the wrong bus when travelling on public transport. These changes will allow them to know what bus has arrived at the stop. Thank you.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kristina Mihaylova

Save Somerset's librariesLibraries are places of learning and sources of information. They provide a valuable community resource. In these times of "austerity" they provide for families who otherwise couldnt afford the resources to teach their children, and for those on low incomes trying to better themselves. These are the reasons why the Victorians established public libraries and the benefit of all they should be kept Open, free and public. "Google Can Bring You Back 100,000 Answers.

Save Bodlondeb Residential Care HomeBodlondeb provides a beloved home and essential care services for our elderly and vulnerable residents in Penparcau, Aberystwyth and it also serves the North Ceredigion area. The council's planned closure of Bodlondeb will force the current and future residents into the insecurity of private care home provision which may be many many miles away from their beloved community, family and friends. The closure of Bodlondeb would also mean the loss of 33 good and secure local jobs. The campaign to save Bodlondeb is receiving massive public support but the council seem determined to move forward with their plans. If Ceredigion Council do manage to close Bodlondeb they have said that they plan to close four more council care homes in Ceredigion in this wave of closures so please can EVERYONE in Ceredigion sign this petition to ensure that we keep Bodlondeb and our other public sector care home provision in Ceredigion open. The Save Bodlondeb Campaign is a community, union and cross-party campaign. We the undersigned oppose the closure of Bodlondeb without an appropriate replacement facility. We call on Ceredgion county council to ensure that there is continuing and unbroken provision of public residential care for the elderly in the Aberystwyth area as Bodlondeb has provided for over 50 years. Rydym ni, yr isod, yn gwrthwynebu cau Bodlondeb heb gyfleuster amgen priodol. Rydym yn galw are Gynor Sir Ceredigion i sicrhau bod darpariaeth di-ddor o ofal breswyl cyhoeddus ar gyfer yr henoed yn barhau yn ardal Aberystwyth fel mae Bodlondeb wedi ei darparu ers dros 50 mlynedd.675 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Dinah Mulholland

Save the South Woodham Ferrers Fire ServiceThe South Woodham Ferrers Fire Service is the final 'Full Time Day Crew' operating within the Dengie Peninsula. With the downgrade from 'Full Time Day Crew' to 'On-call', we will likely see a drop in both availability and vital response times based off of current trends for the area. The Burnham-On-Crouch Fire Station facilitates an 'on-call' Service who in 2017 have been unavailable 39% of the time. Similarly, Tillingham 'on-call' Fire Service is unavailable 17% of the time. This is all due to a lack of available on-call firefighters during times of incident or emergency, and when these 'on-call' Stations are without adequate cover, it is currently the South Woodham 'Day Crew' who travel out to ensure the Stations are manned. Again, this is not an attack on 'on-call' Fire Stations, just highlighting the frequent levels of unavailability in comparison to Full Time in respect to our area (Dengie). A massive 44% of the South Woodham Ferrers Firefighter's activty is in neighbouring towns, highlighting how they currently plug the shortfall in required 'on-call' Firefighter cover. Only last month on 21/07/2017 our Firefighters had to race to Burnham-On-Crouch in order to free two people who'd been trapped in a car following an accident. So not only are we going to adopt the same model that currently sees select Dengie Stations regularly unmanned, but lose the Fire Service that is currently filling the gap in neighbouring town services. Despite our efforts, we have currently failed to obtain any detailed risk assessment carried out pertaining specifically to this downgrade. You should also know that in 2017, 64% of incidents across the Maldon district are responded to within 15 minutes. This has decreased from 72% the year before, and is far worse than the Essex average. All of the information above was obtained via the Freedom of Information Act. If anything we have stated is incorrect then we are happy to amend. This is illogical and dangerous, with us potentially sleepwalking into disaster.4,785 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Kyle Jannece

Stop the closure of the Forfar and Kirriemuir recycling centres.The previous council administration in Angus went ahead with a re-organisation of recycling facilities across the county. As part of that, they planned to close Forfar and Kirriemuir recycling centres and build a 'superskip' at Padanaram. This would have cost thousands of pounds, led to a worse service, and it would have caused an increase in fly-tipping. It would have also blighted the local community in Padanaram. The plans simply didn't make sense. Following the council elections and public opposition, the new administration decided to pause the plans for 10 weeks to look at everything in detail once more, setting up a Members and Officers group which will come up with a new report. This is a welcome delay, but we are pushing the council to go further. If we can show public opposition to the plans in Forfar and Kirriemuir we can change these proposals. We don't believe the merger makes sense and at a time of cuts in public funding, won't save money. Please sign, and show your opposition to the plans.293 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Braden Davy

Stop Closure Of Wrenthorpe Local SurgeryOutwood surgery are going to put out a consultation document in reference to closing Wrenthorpe Surgery. I believe they have already decided to close the surgery as they have been running it down for at least the last two years, a worry that I have expressed to my local councillor on regular occasions. The reasons for closing the surgery are purely monetary, no matter what they say. I believe that it is part of the "privatisation of the NHS" policy by selling off NHS properties. Make no mistake that this will also end up in the closure of our local chemist which will cause an extra burden on the sick and elderly in Wrenthorpe. This will not only affect Wrenthorpe but will be part of a bigger issue that will see centralisation of doctors services throughout the Wakefield area based purely on financial interests.. We must make a stand now. Stop the creeping privatisation of "OUR" NHS459 of 500 SignaturesCreated by David McLeod
