Enact emergency air pollution legislation for London's school playgrounds.Air pollution can permanently damage children's developing lungs and has been linked to a lower IQ later in life. Air pollution has been implicated in 40,000 premature deaths in the UK already, and it's only going to get worse. 2,091 schools, nurseries, further education centres and after-school clubs in the UK are within 150 metres of a road with illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide. Is it too much to ask that schools should offer our kids a safe haven from air pollution, not worsen their health and damage their future prospects?26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Beer

ALL care staff MUST receive mandatory training in Learning Disabilities & AutismThere have been several cases reported involving early deaths of individuals with learning disabilities and autism, not just in our NHS. The CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspect all registered care providers against regulations in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) All registered care providers MUST provide mandatory training that is presented and is not just a paper exercise. Some of the key points that were raised in the LeDeR report (2018) which examined Mortality in individuals with Learning Disabilities include.. Just over half (57%) of the deaths were of males Most people (96%) were single Most people (93%) were of White ethnic background Just over a quarter (27%) had mild learning disabilities; 33% had moderate learning disabilities; 29% severe learning disabilities; and 11% profound or multiple learning disabilities. Approximately one in ten (9%) usually lived alone Approximately one in ten (9%) had been in an out-of-area placement19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Wiles

Let Chesterfield High School year 8 2018 children choose 2 optionsChildren are feeling excluded and insignificant. Especially those that may be dyslexic and need the more practical subjects to show where their talents lie. Forcing a child to spend four years studying a subject that they find difficult rather than giving them the option to chose subjects they gave a chance at achieving a good grade and chance at getting into higher education, is outrageously unfair. Please give year 8 and future generations a fair chance to achieve their own goals and be happier in education.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by lynne winstanley

My daughter and son in law separated by the home office rulesMy daughter is 30 years old and married to her husband who she has been together with since 2012 which is 6 years this September and married for 4 years July 15th. All because my daughter suffers with epilepsy and cannot work as she is a danger to herself and others she does not meet the financial requirements to bring her husband to the UK which is all wrong. Her husband lives and works in India all my daughter and my son in law want is to be here in the UK as a family it's wrong how they have to live separate lives and only talk and see each other on video call. My daughter has recently come back from India from seeing her husband I can't bear to see her heartbroken and she can't keep travelling there cause of her epilepsy. They belong here together in the UK if my son in law was to come here he wouldn't claim no money from the government he would go to work and support himself I know my daughter can't bring him but surely the home office can see what they are doing to my daughter and millions of other families by keeping them apart just because you don't meet the financial requirements. It is wrong and heartbeaking for my daughter and son in law and the home office must be made to understand this please help me to bring my daughter and son in law together here in the UK as husband and wife5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Penny Baldwin

Give EU carers automatic settled statusShould EU carers not get the settled status, what happens to those disabled people? Do they go to care homes? Will the government pay for their care? What will happen to the disabled children, will they be allowed in the carers country ? This is a very important issue that the government has totally ignored. This will affect families with disabled children as well as older generation. Someone who has cared for their husband with Alzheimer's will now have to put him in a care home, someone who has cared for their child with severe disabilities will now have to find alternative carers for their child, tearing families apart and trampleling on their human rights. These disabled people are British citizens whom the government seems to have totally ignored. Who will care for them?16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anna Stanton

Safe route to schoolOur children should have a safe route to access their secondary school. Blaby district council see the current Road as safe for our children to walk or cycle down during busy periods. What will it take for this to change? death of a child? This not only saves parents pockets, this also heightens our childrens health as they have a more active lifestyle of getting to and from school. Walking down a grass verge is not safe. A footpath needs to be implemented.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Harvey

Brighouse Train Station parking facilities & disrepair of Rastrick roadsResidential parking is increasingly becoming unavailable and unmanageable along Gooder Lane and the surrounding residential streets due to a lack of parking facilities at Brighouse train station. Rastrick has a high density of residential properties, which already makes the possibilty of parking limited. The lack of parking facilities at Brighouse train station means that rail commuters are having to find parking elsewhere, namely on neighbouring residential streets, making residents unable to park anywhere near their own home. As Rastrick & Brighouse Councillors, we have lobbyed the Council for a number of years to look, in partnership with the other stakeholders (e.g. WY Combined Authority), at this situation, to no avail. The situation needs an holistic approach exploring all veasible options and solutions to avoid displacing the problem on to other streets in the area. However, simply put, we need more parking facilities at Brighouse Train Station. Gooder Lane is a regularly used highway by residents, railway users, businesses (both shops and industrial companies), HGVs, and day to day commuters. This road, and many of the 'offshoot' residential streets (Bridge End in particular) are very poorly maintained, and have been for years, meaning that many drivers avoid using this road and instead use another route which causes congestion on other main roads. These roads need to be properly assessed and dressed. As Councillors, we are continually told that assessments will take place but, to date, none have taken place and no action has been taken to address this problem.116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sophie Whittaker
