I am an animal lover, I'm not a animal right's crusader. I find the leaked plans to re-introduce FoxHunting goes against everything it means to be British in the 21st Century. Please support my petition which is the first I have ever begun.

Exposure to which has been linked to cancer in humans (World Health Organisation), and has led to degradation of ecosystems. Lymington Town Council are aware of this, yet are happy to use it until it's prohibited. Why wait? Many town councils across the UK have switched to a safer non-chemical alternative – it's time Lymington followed suit.

West Clifton is a small rural community at the western edge of Edinburgh. Despite meeting with Jupiter Artland where we pleaded with them, begged them to protect our children and families, they are going ahead anyway. We believe an accident is inevitable and we fear our children and families are the ones who will suffer. In the process they have also ruined our environment. Some residents are now looking out on a grey, sterile, hardcore road where they once saw trees, grass, hedgerows and wildlife. It was a beautiful wild bridle way, now totally destroyed. Wildlife has been driven out, trees cut down, hedgerows and wildflowers ripped up. The families of West Clifton think Jupiter Artland have been really bad neighbours. Please stop them.

Plans to sell off Oswestry's council houses were voted against ten years ago. Our attitude to this has not changed. Oswestry needs more social housing, not less. We want investment in building new homes in the right places for our community whilst protecting our heritage.

Lucklawhill is a country lane, which is consistently plagued by dangerous speeding traffic. Despite its narrow boundary parametres, and limited traffic capacity, it has been historically a 60 mph zone. Recently, following ongoing concerns, residents sought a reduction in the speed limit, resulting in a reduction to 30 mph. However, this outcome is not sufficient for a number of reasons. Firstly, a 30 mph is an unsafe speed for a narrow country lane with over a dozen blind entrance/exit ways. There are no pavements or pathways to avoid vehicles travelling on the lane. Dog/ leisure walkers, pony hackers, and local wildlife continue to be at risk of speeding cars. Many of the residents have pet animals, and live stock which are placed at increased risk of accident, injury, and fatality. Indeed several residents have had animals killed, and have been faced with significant physical damage to property from vehicles driving at uncontrolled excess speed. It is clear therefore, that local residents and other lane users/ visitors are at best disadvataged, and at worse vulnerable to harm. Secondly, the local authority have not pledged to provide and erect any clear road signage on Lucklawhill which is essential in order to inform road users to reduce their speed. In addition, practical measures such as speed bumps would ensure forced speed reduction, thus increasing safety on the lane. However both speed signage, and practical speed bumps are not considered to be financially viable by the Fife Council. By signing this petition we can demonstrate to Fife Council that we are serious about our concerns, and we wish them to consider our requests.

I was born in halifax and now I know why Halifax is not up there with Bradford or Huddersfield (close regions). However small Huddersfield might be it does have a good park with basketball courts (greenhead park) and Bradford have an awesome park (lister park) with 6 basketball hoops - 3 pitches. I really want to play basketball and there is no place in halifax where I can play for free. This needs to be sorted out.

Our only chance of creating an alternative to another full term of cuts, privatisation and the destruction of the NHS is to unite the left under a coalition government.

It is important as people need to be educated how to treat the world around us.

Because of their height, a small child, when waiting in line for their summer treat, will often be subjected to several minutes of poisonous gas from a diesel or petrol engine. Ice-cream vans tend to station themselves in parks and near playgrounds, meaning the health and safety of all children in the vicinity is compromised. We wouldn't allow a lorry to park next to a group of children and keep their engine running for hours on end, so why do we accept it from an ice-cream van? Several boroughs already insist on using electric vehicles to sell ice-cream in parks. We are calling for a blanket ban of diesel powered ice-cream vans in all parks and outside our homes. This is better for the whole community, including those selling those delicious 99s.

Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths.

Network Rail has a programme of closing non-vehicular Rail Level Crossings, ostensibly to improve safety, although many have no safety issues and the resultant closure or diversion of Public Rights of Way (Footpaths and Bridleways) will severely damage the public's ability to enjoy our wonderful countryside. The process is currently being pushed through in the Anglia region, with 63 crossing closures proposed for Essex alone, but eventually every part of the country will be affected. This scale of closures would have a devastating and unprecedented effect on our Public Rights of Way, destroying or degrading many established routes. Often these are historic paths and most are older than the Railways themselves. Mott Macdonald, the consultants being used by NR, are employing a legal device called a Transport and Works order and involves:- Closure of a large swathe of crossings at a time. No opportunity for the case for each crossing to be tested at a public enquiry. Only a limited programme of consultation in which many local people and the public at large have no knowledge of the plans and their implications. Only limited options being presented and no opportunity for consultees to argue for alternative approaches. Some of NR's solutions destroy the pleasure in using the path, such as diverting it long distances beside the railway, but some are dangerous in themselves where pedestrians are to be directed along roads without verges. Where statistics show a genuine safety issue then action may be necessary but in many cases this is not the case. And if NR were genuinely concerned with safety and not just the convenience of banishing the public from its estate it would be proposing bridges, tunnels, and other safety devices at points of concern, rather than their draconian and undemocratic approach.
