Save Public Green Recreational Playing field Higher Downs LongridgeThis land is public green open recreational playing field space, in the green belt, as identified in CEC Local plan. It goes against Local and National planning policy to sell it. Football, dog walking, blackberrying. There for families to be active & healthy outdoors on their doorstep. It would be a massive vote loser in the area, local politicians are opposed to the sale which had been progressing in secret.272 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Debbie Jamison

Fight for our FieldsAll over Britain cash strapped local authorities are selling off playing fields to companies for housing to be built. South Tyneside is no exception. Our green spaces are vanishing. South Tyneside has one of the lowest amounts of green space in the country. 46% of south tyneisde is built on comapred to a 6% national average. Our school plyaing fields and leisure facilities are important to our wellbeing. Brinkburn School Community fields are essential to the survival of a lot of grass roots sport in South Shields. The fields are used by Football, Rugby, Athletics, Archery and more and are an essential resource to ensure local people of all ages have the opportunity to stay active and healthy. Support our campaign to save these playing fields; we need them now and as an investment in all of our futures.188 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Donohue

Petition Wokingham Borough Council to improve its kerbside recycling schemeReducing the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill and encouraging recycling is in everyone's interest. We should be looking after the environment for future generations. If Windsor and Maidenhead can do it, why can't Wokingham? People should be encouraged to recycle. The facilities are available to recycle these products and Wokingham Borough Council has a moral responsibility to enable people to recycle as much as possible.613 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Angela Silvey

PROTECT OUR CLIFFSAny approval to build, is one that has huge negative impacts, to the open space and special character of our coastline forever, the impact to the cliff integrity/stability. The photo shows a site highlighted as being built on, this build is now seeking approval for unapproved works. It is important because in 2015 over 1,000 people signed an online petition through change.org ( Protect Newquay Clifftops) to two applications to build on gardens at Island Crescent, Newquay. There were further objections made to Cornwall Council. This lead to one application ( front garden) being REFUSED by Cornwall Council, then taken to at appeal by the applicants and Dismissed by the Inspector. The other application ( rear garden)being WITHDRAWN. Yet they have built to that plan anyway!? Since then the applications have continued and concerns about them and their content raised to the planning department. Now a second APPEAL PENDING on the front garden. The applications have not stopped, with the applicant not adhering to two permissions on the rear garden.Leading to enforcement action, RETROSPECTIVE PLANNING PERMISSION PENDING to be decided early September. We need Sajid Javid MP, and Michael Gove MP. to: Protect our treasured and unique coastline and support: 1) The public voice of the community and wider. 2) Newquay Town Council. 3)Our Mayor past and present 4)The members of Cornwall Council Planning department against cliff top development ( last vote on most recent application 12-2 against proposal to build) 5)The Planning Inspector on reasons for his previous decision to Dismiss the application 6)Our local MP Steve Double 7) Facebook page Protect Newquay Clifftops This area once protected by the policies of the Restormel Borough Plan no longer are until the NNP is is in place. We need it not to fall into an area of no protection that would allow it to be built on. These are garden grabbing applications, this is not "brownfield land" and should not be seen as such. The National Planning Policy Framework encourages the community to engage, to have voice within its community. Please help the voice of this community and wider that seek to protect, preserve the coastal fringe of Newquay get the weight required to give credit to the development stages of the Newquay Neighbourhood plan to Protect our coastline from such proposals.422 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Atkins Anne

Make Sefton a Frack-free ZoneUnconventional oil and gas extraction (“fracking”) will have an impact on our countryside, climate and local communities. It uses vast quantities of fresh water and chemicals and, as we have seen in America and Australia, this type of extraction has a detrimental impact on our natural resources, the environment, health, noise and air pollution, traffic and local communities. Fracking has also been known to cause earthquakes. The people of Sefton do not want this type of extraction taking place in any part of the borough.965 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Bradshaw

Villa RoadVilla Road and Hunters Road are being used as a dumping ground for illegal fly tippers, and as a race track for speeding vehicles. Pavements are impossible to use because of inconsiderate parking. Anti social behaviour has increased since the part sale of the council owned carpark in 2014. This is having a direct impact on local businesses and people living within.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mohammed Ali

Boycott 45, Jermyn Street, London. Purveyors of 'Glorious 12th' Grouse and Foie GrasOur moorlands are being stripped of wildlife by gamekeepers who kill natural predators to preserve grouse raised to be shot for 'sport'. The production of Foie Gras is nothing short of torturous, it is illegal to produce it in the UK because of the horrific suffering of foie ducks and geese.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by lisa ball

Southport Says - Promote Safe Alternatives to FrackingEvidence from other countries and from the only Fracking to be carried out todate in the UK at Preece Hall in Lancashire demonstrates the industry has a proven record of environmental failures. At Preece Hall, which was being Fracked by Cuadrilla in 2011, as many as 46 earth tremors and 2 official earthquakes were experienced resulting in the site being closed down. Evidence has also been considered by the governments own Environmental Audit Committee and as part of their 2015 report they concluded: "Despite the assurances from some that environmental risks can be safely accommodated by existing regulatory systems, an extensive range of uncertainties remains over particular hazards—to groundwater quality and water supplies, from waste and air emissions, to our health and to biodiversity, to the geological integrity of the areas involved, and from noise and disruption. Uncertainty about their significance is in part a reflection of the fact that fracking operations have yet to move beyond the exploratory stage in the UK. It is imperative that the environment is protected from potentially irreversible damage. • Fracking must be prohibited outright in protected and nationally important areas. • Full containment of methane must be mandated. • Fracking should be prohibited in all water source protection zones.148 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Paul Bradshaw

Keep our Greenbelt GreenSkerne Valley is an important green belt area. It has historical and ecological importance and deserves to be respected. Brafferton, Coatham Mundeville, Skerningham, and Barmpton are rural communities with individual spirit. Individual spirit that will be torn in two if either of these route are allowed to progress. The impact on the local Flora and Fauna will be catastrophic, the skerne at Barmpton is known to be home to Otters, Skerningham Woods was recently planted with Black Poplar trees at tax payers expense, by the same council that now wants to rip it all down and build on it. There were several other routes that wereput forward, the main one being the remodelling of Junction 57, It's shown to be cheaper . more environmentally friendly and resolves more issuesbut that was dropped due to complexity and stakeholder preference. Who are these stakeholders? To quote one local resident, "route B is like corporate vandalism, please take it off the table" To us both routes are corporate vandalism and they both need taking off the table. Help us to bring our displeasure to the Council by signing this petition, filling in the questionaire here https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TeesValleyRoadNetworkImprovement and ticking NO to question 7. Together we can make a difference and keep our Greenbelt Green.680 of 800 SignaturesCreated by George Campbell Wilson

Save the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford BayThe Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay is under threat from East Sussex CC plans to build a road and bridge over the railway and creek and onto Tide Mills using public tax payers money. This road and bridge will be for the sole benefit of private commercial interest, namely the French owned Newhaven Harbour and any associated companies. There are proposals to create a ready mixed concrete works and a concrete block making plant. The associated lorry and transport movements such a road and bridge and industrialisation of the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay will create traffic noise, traffic pollution and cause additional traffic congestion problems on our already inadequate road system. These plans and proposals will destroy the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay including the East Arm and alter the Western End of Seaford Bay not only from the visual perspective but environmentally and ecologically with far reaching consequences for both wild life and plant life. Once lost, this unspoilt coast line will be gone for ever. There is the public health issue associated with proposing such activities so close to the residential areas of Newhaven and also given the prevailing south westerly winds, any dust and pollution will be blown directly to Seaford.4,716 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Geoff King
