Stop the Conservative party trying to interfere with lawful licensing decisionsIt is wrong for a political party to question the decisions of licensing officers. This is akin to rejection of the law to suit political ends rather than protection of the public or workers. This is important also because it shows an unashamed attempt to garner support from a voting section of the public. Moreover it does not represent the Local authorities inhabitants alone and cannot be proven. A political party should not be lobbying to obfuscate the work of those carrying out licensing.2,601 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Garelick

Fight Hospital Privatisation Plans at Airedale General HospitalThe Directors of Airedale NHS Trust are about to transfer the staff who run hospital buildings, grounds and purchasing departments into a private company. This private company can only provide cheaper services to the hospital if it cuts corners, or cuts jobs, pay and working conditions. Lower pay and increased work will hit the morale of already overstretched NHS staff, making it hard for their families to make ends meet and the whole community. Hospital staff should be thinking about how to provide the best service for patients, not worrying about how they’re going to pay the bills. The NHS is not only a provider of health care for all, free at the point of need but an important provider of good quality, fairly paid jobs.3,177 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Bob Thorp

Referendum on the final terms on which the UK will leave the European UnionThe EU referendum represented a low point in post war UK democratic politics. Only now are problems coming to the fore that were not considered in the referendum and not debated at the time. Oeople did not know the consequences of them and Brexit impact reports are being unacceptably hidden from the people. This is unacceptable and we need a final decision when we know exactly what Brexit means and that means the full terms of an any deal.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roman Haluszczak

Save our Civic Cafe in MotherwellThis is important because the cafe has been part of all our childhood and a huge amount of people have happy memories of this cafe. LLP Properties should be held accountable to explain why they are driving out our town’s local businesses and forcing the local people out of jobs which they need to support their own families too. NLC should be doing more to help local businesses NOT helping and standing by and watching them close down. Our home town is slowly dying due to the total greed by this company’s attitude towards its residents who are trying to make a living and serve a community. Start to think about folks livelihoods NOT bank balances for your own self gain. We the people of Motherwell demand that you withdraw the outrageous hike towards our town’s businesses. We demand it NOW!104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Scott Symington

Save 'The Venue Bar' from closing at 8pmThe university are seeking to minimise costs, by taking security and reception off the entrance to the student union earlier, resulting in an 8pm close. However a campus bar shouldn't solely be about making a profit, it should be a place for students to come together, meet and socialise in an area that caters for everyones needs. While building the all important 'campus community', which is vital as such a small percentage of students live onsite. Speaking from personal experience The Venue bar allowed me to have a place to drop by and make friends last year, in the little time I had outside of lectures and commuting I spent a lot of time there socialising and doing group work. As do many other students in my position. From here I met countless people who would go on to have a positive impact on not only my social life but also being greatly beneficial to talk to each week about university and work related opportunities. With the majority universities closing their student bars at much later times (on average 11pm), therefore allowing for greater time and effort to be put into events being held. We are paying for our student experience and by closing the campus bar we are missing out on that experience.110 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Michael Barrett

PADDOCK HOUSEPaddock House is a derelict care home in the centre of the beautiful market town of Eye. It is on the site of a historic public green space. We demand that there is due public consultation and discussion before any commercial development is considered. There is huge potential to restore and upgrade the existing buildings to provide essential housing and amenities for our town.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gary Rowland

Save Monarch AirlinesWe request that Monarch Airlines receive a loan from our goverment. Last week Air Berlin went into administration but following a loan from the German government they are able to continue to trade. Monarch airlines went into administration today Monday 2nd of October. 10's of millions of pounds have been spent on hiring Qatar airline to repatriate stranded passengers. We ask our goverment to instead provide a loan to Monarch. The only people who win with Monarch ceasing trading are the CEO's of competitor airlines. Everybody else loses out. We lose one of the UK's oldest and most loved airlines. Monarch is a sound business with an excellent reputation. In 2015 following a reorganisation they showed a substantial profit. The effects of Brexit uncertainty, loss of value of the pound and their routes affected by terrorism, are short term issues. We believe it makes sense to protect the business with a loan with stipulations. It's bad luck they have faced and not a bad business model. With Monarch ceasing we face thousands of job loses of highly experienced people, hundreds of thousands disrupted travel plans and increased costs for our short haul travel. We ask the government to make an initial interest free loan, and as they did with RBS Natwest, take a stake of Monarch. We expect in due course that the tax payer will benefit.5,857 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Victoria Crane

Please re-open The Traveller's Rest Pub, NewtownThere has been a pub on this site since the early 1800 and is the last remaining pub in the village of Newtown. We have no shops, doctor or even a bus service. It was a viable business and a popular meeting place. It has been used by many, including yourselves, and its closure has been upsetting to us. You are in the entertainment industry and understand the value of social interaction, please re-open the pub so we can once again come together and enjoy the company of friends and visitors in its warm, convivial atmosphere.195 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Anita Smith

Have a Limit on Standing for WorkersStanding for long periods of time at work can cause many health problems, including pain in many areas of the body (such as the back, legs and hips) as well as varicose veins, problems during pregnancy, heart and circulation issues and more. This does not even begin to cover the issues people with existing health conditions may face. More than eleven million workers in the UK are standing for a prolonged period of time, risking their health and unable to take the weight off of their feet.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by M Laing
