We request an immediate investigation into the sale of the land at Hartlepool hospital.Hartlepool hospital has systematically been stripped of it's A&E department and virtually all of it's clinical and surgical services, on a vague promise that an alternative hospital would be built on land at Wynyard. Now, the North Tees and Hartlepool Trust, our local Hartlepool MP, Iain Wright and the Hartlepool Borough Council are all on public record saying this will never happen. It was completely foolhardy and indeed negligent of Hartlepool Borough Council to allow the sale of this land to happen under these circumstances. I believe it was complete madness to allow a perfectly good training hospital to be stripped of it's staff, resources, assets and have the very land it sits upon sold from under it, without a cast iron guarantee of a replacement. I feel that this has been done surreptitiously, without the prior knowledge, consultation or consent of the people of Hartlepool3,065 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Jim Gillespie

Stop the penalisation of long-term, legal migrants.Without warning, the 2014 Immigration Act imposed upon long-term, legal UK migrants the requirement of a No Time Limit Document, to present as legal proof of their Indefinite Leave to Remain, when seeking employment, (in some cases, housing) or access to benefits, for which some have been paying for decades. The postal application for an NTL Document costs £104.00 and takes and unacceptable SIX MONTHS to process. (There is a Premium One-Day Service which costs a casual £504.00 for the privilege of jumping the queue.) Without the NTL Document, long-term, legal, migrants (In my case - as a Canadian national, I have lived in the UK 34 years, payed taxes and NIC, and I am on the electoral-roll.) are held in a limbo where we can not take up new employment, nor access benefits such as job-seekers' allowance (despite funding NIC for decades) In a bid to see that we law-abiding, non-threatening people can be allowed to carry-on taking part and contributing to UK society, (as we were doing, unmolested, before May 14, 2014), I have contacted all parties at Westminster regarding this issue, and I have even spoken with the Deputy Prime-Minister about this. After months of having this life-affecting issue treated with indifference, or trivialised, it is apparent to me that to put right this collateral damage, caused by the 2014 Immigration Act, the government would have to 'spend money', a notion anathema to it's ethos. (particularly where 'people on the pavement' are concerned.) Additionally, this is an IMMIGRATION issue which is the Coalition Government's Achilles-heel. Those of us thrust into poverty or financial-hardship by this sloppy-legislation are battling with an ideologically-obdurate government, committed to BURYING this embarrassing issue. Through this legislation, Theresa May's headline-grabbing "hostile environment" is penalising innocent people! There are thousands of us affected by this (Some ILR holders won't be aware of this issue until they apply for their next job) I invite anyone, adversely affected by the 2014 Immigration Act, to join me in plying pressure on this government, and the government elected in May, to do the decent thing, and treat legal, law-abiding immigrants fairly.122 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Calvert

Crossing Patrol outside Holy Trinity School OssettThe road outside Holy Trinity Primary School is both busy and dangerous. A blind bend and careless and speeding drivers only add to the problem. The council has acknowledged this by historically providing two crossing patrols on this stretch of road to ensure we can get our children safely to school. However currently there is none. Our children are too important to wait for an injury or worse before the council take notice. Please sign this petition to urge Wakefield Council to employ a permanent crossing patrol outside Holy Trinity Primary School. Thank You272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Helen Thomas

Bio BusesImprove the air quality; which has got worse within the county of Wiltshire. Its a know fact that vehicle diesel emissions, especially buses, do contribute to health issues. Several years ago Oxford City Council began the switch to bio-diesel buses with the result of reduced harmful emissions. The bio-fuel is manufactured from used cooking oil and other food industry by-products, which are from sustainable sources that do not involve the destruction of natural habitats or compete with the human food chain.131 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Pete Bennett

Save the Brookdale in Ainsdale.It is a vital service for elderly people with Dementia/Alzheimer's and should stay open. This centre is situated in Ainsdale, Southport. It is the only Dementia specialist care centre in a catchment area of approximately 150,000 people. The council proposes to close it and move everybody across to another centre. This unit with specialist trained staff provides a day care service for older people with Alzheimer's and Dementia and deals with cases from early onset to the later stages of the illness. It provides a vital life-line for carers giving them the required respite whilst being assured of the safety, health and well-being of their loved ones at the centre. The centre is geographically perfectly placed in the middle of the areas it services.

Aberdeen Councillors change Gas Repair Co.Many people have called out the company to repair and get left worse of then they were. My neighbour left with no heating for two weeks, they then came in meant to have fixed, broke again was told had to wait again for a new part. Run up a huge electric bill due to borrowing heaters. I myself no heating radiators half heating again had to wait for parts. A single mother brought them in waited again 3 weeks, many more young mums and elderly being left to wait. And always the same excuse no parts. Please look into this and sort it.200 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jacqui Innes
