Save Live Overnight Radio on Radio 2Recent announcements have brought to an end live overnight broadcasting on Radio 2. This is a slap in the face to the 24 hour a day society who listen into Radio 2 through out the night. The statement from Radio 2 is disingenuous and treats the listener as a child. Quite simply we want the decision reversed and live broadcasting of the After Midnight Strand reinstated The BBC is supposed to BROADCAST to the nation and this is a retreat from this position, the listener has not been consulted and this is being presented as an improvement....612 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Charles Woodland

20's plenty in Wimbledon Village!Reducing the speed limit will make the Village a safer place for all users Increasingly it is accepted that 20mph speed limits save lives, and they are being implemented on roads across many London boroughs. Where cyclists and horse riders must share space with motor traffic, reducing the speed differential is important: both for reducing the risk of death and injury, and for creating more pleasant cycling, horse riding and walking environments.527 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Wimbledon Village Business Association

Make Hampshire Constabulary act on all reports of dangerous drivingThis is important because the lives of myself and hundreds of other vulnerable road users have either been put at risk, altered by injury or taken by dangerous drivers, who then face little to no repercussions for their behaviour. At the moment, unless there's a collision, the force will take no further action, claiming that anything less doesn't meet the CPS threshold for dangerous driving, despite the CPS and Road Traffic Act 1988, who say that it's dangerous driving if there's a risk of injury or serious property damage.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mike Andrews

Save Frinton and Waltons Public Conviniences1.The Kino toilets, are used by the bikers who bring an awful lot of trade to the area and even in the winter visit in droves, and which are used by the bus drivers and is the only sensible and safe place to stop for the loo on most routes. Other residents, like myself, who are disabled or elderly cannot walk to the Mill Lanes toilets. I myself whilst waiting the other day needed the loo and couldn't go due to closures, and I cannot walk to other loo's which was frustrating! Don't put others through this dilemma. 2. It is not acceptable to expect people to pay for the loo's. It's meant to be convineient and it isn't if you don't have a 20p piece when you need the toilet. We pay council tax but see noting back! which we will struggle to find the money for (as if we cannot afford to keep them open in winter we cannot afford major renovations) and will be majory disruptive,147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nic El-Safty

Reverse the cuts in timetables of the blackpool to Lancaster 42 bus serviceThe Lancaster bus depot is the gateway to a lot of Lake district services through Cumbria namely the 555 to Keswick Ambleside and kendal. Quite a lot of people who like to ramble in the lakes in Cumbria who live in blackpool and Lancashire and use the service from early spring through to late autumn to connect through to Lancaster and the 555 via the 42 bus service and considering it takes over an hour to get to the lakes from Lancaster cutting the 42 service back stops people using this route and maximising their stay in the lakes. Even if they set off at 9.15 in thr morning they may not get to Cumbria until 12.30 or even 1.00pm which leaves approximately a two hour stay in Cumbria if that until having to return on the 555 for the amended return to blackpool at 5.40 pm Other people rely on a good service to and from Lancaster from blackpool as well and vice versa either for city shipping or a day and evening out. Other people from villages in between blackpool and Lancaster also use the service to shop in Garstang say for example or visit friends and this reduction of the service has had a detrimental effect with its outcomes10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry Holland

Save Didcot's Amenities and Green Spaces on Ladygrove!After signing this petition please formally object via http://didcot.space (will redirect you to the Garden Town plan page) or send an email to [email protected] Comments can be as short or long as you like - just make it clear you object to building on Ladygrove Park. Consultation on these proposals has been extended to 28th February, so please do it now. Thank you! There are plans for 15,000 new houses to be built in Didcot as part of the "Didcot Garden Town" project. This is more than those planned for Bicester Garden Town, recently described as a "dog's breakfast" with ecologically important flower rich meadows being lost to housing. Proposals for Didcot have been announced that are WORSE than first feared. They include building technical office space and accommodation over roughly half of the Ladygrove recreation ground and play park. The remnants would be developed such that there would be no substantial level open green space for casual sports or recreation. A new road cutting across the play park and flats on the play park, opposite the Willowbrook and behind the football club with no additional parking serve to top of this awful proposal. The current morning congestion around the primary school would be intolerable. Our facilities, green spaces and paths integral to our local parkrun are threatened. You can see the briefings here : https://didcotgardentown.commonplace.is/news/2017/01/20/stakeholder-representative-group-presentation-19-january-2017 Campaigners in Bicester have been to court twice to try to protect their environment. If we are to protect our green spaces and amenities the time to act is now, by obtaining a simple undertaking from the project team before their plans are fully formed. If you want to save them please sign this petition and share it with your friends. Thank you! (You can see the Ladygrove areas initially marked out for development on the final pages of these two official downloads published by the Didcot Garden Town planners http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/node/18434 and this http://www.southoxon.gov.uk/node/18447 )2,072 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Simon Hewerdine

Demand Worcestershire Safeguard Board investigate Cardon's DeathThis is important because a 74 year old gentleman was left to rot and decompose in a tent, on the bank of the River Severn in Worcester over the summer of 2016. Cardon Banfield came over with the Windrush community and was let down by the state in his final days. In a report by Worcester City Council, it was found that lessons can be learned from the death of Cardon. Councillor Lynn Denham stated that we should learn these lessons - and the undersigned believe we can only do that with a Safeguarding Adults Review. The Worcester City Council-funded CCP service (which the taxpayer pays £240,000 a year for) should have found Cardon's body. Help get Justice for Cardon, hold the right people accountable and stop another tent death happening on our streets again.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Hugo Sugg

Stop proposed Cuts to Birmingham Country Parks from 6 maintained parks to 2 !!!There is currently a proposal to make 20 million pounds worth of cuts to the Birmingham Parks Budget . This means reducing staffing in the 6 major parks down to only 2 hubs with these expected to manage every other country park and park space run by BCC in the whole of Birmingham. This will mean no more supported schools groups, a huge reduction and diminishment to our green spaces, no more eco action and nature events ... or secret santa, or nursery for plants to make our city beautiful, no more community action liaison work, no more drug and alcohol support group work, no more keeping an eye on our country parks to keep them safe places for us to visit, reduced visitor centres and significantly less maintenance of these precious spaces across our city. Without regular care will fall into dereliction and disrepair. We need these major parks for our kids to play in, for us to walk in and keep fit, and we want to know they are staffed and safe! Birmingham is the UK's second city with the most green space of any uk city these spaces don't just look after themselves. They need dedicated care to remain the nurturing places we all know and love. Unfortunately central conservative government has slashed the council budget for Birmingham (a labour council) disproportionately compared to say that of conservative Oxford. It's not right!!! The consultation document is worded to try and get those who do respond to agree to these draconian cuts as a good idea...we need to stop them and the consultation is only open to respond to until the first week in January 2017.253 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Min Davis

Protect 535 NHS beds in DerbyshireLost beds in Derbyshire could mean that people are sent home to recover from illnesses rather than being kept under observation. Let’s make sure that our NHS doctors can make decisions they think are best for patients. Our NHS is already being starved of funds. The percentage of Government spending on healthcare in 2015-16 was 6.6%. It used to be close to 10%. We are now spending about the same as Slovenia and Iceland and behind Greece and Belgium. While there is a need to join-up care in Derbyshire this is being done in the context of £22 billions cuts in the NHS and may well result in loss of nearly a third of hospital beds in Derbyshire. How can we afford to lose more beds? This continued degradation of the NHS will foster the call for further break-up of the NHS and selling off to the private sector.

Stop Derby Council spending £2.5 million on the Council HouseThis is really important to stand up and get our voice heard. Our council is spending hard earned taxes on irrelevant needs such as refurbishments that do not benefit the community. Derby has not got enough support for the likes of education, health care, leisure, support for the homeless, the younger generation, the elderly, the people who work for the council and the community that lives here. This is to stand up and make it known we want this money to be spent on the larger priorities. People have lost their jobs due to cuts yet it is perfectly acceptable to spend £2.5 million on a refurbishment? There are much larger issues that need to be addressed. We would like the Council to hear our voices and reconsider how they spend the money.1,864 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rosie E
