The Gunners PubAs there has been footage of violence at both Arsenal's and Tottenham's football grounds, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.It is a public right of way on match days to pass through, however when the potential of trouble is imminent local residents are denied this access. There have been many incidents of abuse and threats made on social media which I find childish and classless. If they have paid dues like every other filming body to the local authority then so be it, however it is a public space for use by all. I am writing to the club to establish who funds the security of the said people and only ask, not that they stop, they have the right to an opinion, but that it moves for safety reason into somewhere more suitable as they did in their beginnings .1,073 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Una McKernan

Make Binders Readily Available on the NHSThe trans community have suffered a lot over generations, and one of the issues is the price and accessibility of binders. Binders are usually sourced online at a high price rate because of the shipping and manufacturing, as well as most of them being made in America. This makes it significantly difficult for working class or unemployed trans men to find a cheaper alternative for their wellbeing. Binders are sold on Amazon and Ebay at lower prices, however in my experience, they are not very reliable and well made. I believe that as a gender non-conforming individual who uses binders myself, we should not have to pay for something that helps us feel more comfortable and helps with d***horia. Waiting lists for surgery for the trans community is very long and can take up to a certain amount of years. Surely, there should be a free service that helps until the surgery is finalised. Some trans people choose not to have surgery and that is completely their choice, but they should have access to good quality, free binders on the NHS that they can use everyday and feel themselves. If they can fund sexual health, then they can fund mental health. I believe that giving this opportunity to the trans and non-binary community will promote intersectionality, benefit mental health, and may even save lives.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Victor Foot

Darlington Memorial Hospital Donor Milk BankDarlington Memorial Hospital have started looking into opening up a milk bank - which is great news! This would be the first and only milk bank in the North East of England and it would be a wonderful resource for all the mums who cannot breastfeed but do not wish to use formula milk. The idea of setting it up has not been approved yet as it requires time. However, whilst the hospital carry out any necessary assessments, it's important that they hear from all kinds of people in the area who support this idea. I've recently had my 6 month old daughter: as I wasn't making enough milk for her and obtaining donor milk wasn't an option, I had no choice but to use formula milk. I'm not on my own though. Many other mums, especially those with premature babies, also wish they could access donor milk. Donating milk is safe as it involves procedures such as donor screening, a series of tests, pasteurising the milk, etc.589 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Amy Waddington

Scrap Trafford Green Bin TaxTrafford Council have stated that from the 5th June 2017 residents will be charged extra if they want their garden waste collecting. This is a highly objectionable move by the council, which is completely unjustified, undemocratic and particularly unfair on the frail and disabled, as they would struggle to transport rubbish to their local tip. Residents are already funding waste collection via council tax, so where does it stop - extra charges for rubbish collection, education, environment, sewage, policing, fire service, housing, transport and health? Sign and stop it now!3,506 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Phil Watson

Stop cuts to Children's Centres to pay for Battle of Medway CommemorationsMedway council want to cut support for children in Medway to pay for an elaborate 10 day celebration and re-enactment of a 350 year-old naval battle - the Battle of Medway. £60,000 will be taken from children’s services to pay for the celebrations - which include jet ski demonstrations, fireworks and over-the-top battle reenactments. This money should be ring fenced for children's services. As a Medway council tax payer I know where I want the money to be spent - on children!

URGENT - DEADLINE LOOMING! Save Finsbury Park Post OfficeWe are 2 weeks into a 6-week (tokenistic) 'consultation' period to downgrade our Post Office in Finsbury Park. We have 4 weeks left to ramp up our response. The petition needs to reach 2000 signatures to trigger a debate in full Council Meeting. We all know that Crown Post Office provides important services that feed into the social and economic vitality of the area it serves. Our Post Office is under threat of being downsized into the corner of a store. Here are just a few reminders why we need to keep it viable and serving our community: 1. There is massive regeneration and development of Finsbury Park: our Post Office should be expanding rather than reduced within a franchise. 2. . Franchises depend on profit; franchise takeovers of Post Offices show a track record of low pay and conditions; high staff turnover; less experienced staff; long queues; people becoming irritated... 3. Big picture is that Crown Post Offices process 40% of financial services mail so are a crucial component of London’s economy. Track record of franchises is loss of experienced staff who are able to deal swiftly and efficiently with complex queries so business users suffer loss of time and money. 4. With a strategy of downgrading services, Post Office Limited’s own branding to serve the ‘heart of the community’ would appear to be a nonsense! Could those highly paid PO Ltd Board executives have signed up to such a policy without researching implications for Finsbury Park? We have massive development! Rapid population growth! Increasing demand! 5. A franchise will lose experienced staff who provide a patient, knowledgeable and polite service. Our PO is used by local businesses, hard-working families; small traders, disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals, (including people with issues of mild dementia; people whose first language is not English, people with disabilities, people with hearing or sight loss. 6. Finsbury Park Post Office serves an area of super-diversity. We need a commitment to promoting social cohesion. The strategic planning policy of National and local government (we have three bordering London boroughs - Hackney, Islington and Haringey) has made this commitment. Reducing Finsbury Park Post Office service by squeezing it into the corner of a store would undermine opportunities for social cohesion. 7. Downsizing to franchise of our PO would erode choice, limit access across our whole community, impact negatively on social cohesion and serve no-one's best interests. - KEEP FINSBURY PARK POST OFFICE VIABLE!1,414 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Gerry TIMLIN
