Concessionary fares scheme for 16 to 18 year oldsA Wiltshire wide concessionary fares scheme should be considered by Wiltshire Council. Many of these young people are in full time education and have no access to there own transport. And in many cases if there is public transport the price is beyond there reach.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by TERRY CHIVERS

Ceredigion Council - offer Bodlondeb to the People of PenparcauThe Bodlondeb Residential Home is a much loved home for the elderly members of the community, and as a publically owned building it belongs to the people of Ceredigion. Its redevelopment or sale needs to bring benefit to the local community. However, the council may be planning to allow a redevelopment of Bodlondeb that is not appropriate or suitable in this location. But if the building is offered to the community then it can continue to be a positive asset for the neighbourhood's elderly population and for families and younger people. There are many ways the building could be used, for example elderly services, a day centre, clinics, sensory spaces for young people with autism, childcare, studio and maker and start up business spaces, training and meeting spaces, please feel free to add your suggestions in the comments when you sign the petition!130 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dinah Mulholland

Implement new Stamp Duty exemptions fairlyFirst-time buyers could have saved thousands of pounds each had they have had some prior warning about this policy. There should be support for young people, families, and first time buyers who are trying to responsibly manage their finances and who have been recently stung by Stamp Duty.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlie LeyoftheLand

Full disclosure of social servicesIts been all over the media lately about children being taken by social services with no real evidence. All meetings with social workers including child protection conferences, PLO meetings, LAC meetings should be video taped so that no misunderstandings can happen, this would not just protect the families but social workers too.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deb Phillips

co-op donating food to food banksThere is too much good food wasted and binned that could be donated to food banks the help struggling people in need of food The amount of food that is put in bin each and every day is unbelievable. There are other supermarkets that are members of food sharing charities, all I am asking is that instead of throwing good food away why not donate it to local groups for food banks that are feeding the local community, after all co-op shops are aimed at the local communites to start with. I only started this petition when I realised how much money my local church was having to spend to buy food for the food bank that they run once a week. But yet every day I shop in co-op 5 minutes up the road and see food being reduced on the last day of the sell by date and if NOT sold a collection van comes to bin the leftover food. That being the case then the local community need to make shops more aware of this problem and stop food being wasted.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanne Thomas

Ban smacking children in EnglandAt the moment a parent can smack a child and social services deem this ok. Courts side with social services allowing the smacking to carry on. Social services and courts do not listen to the children when they are telling them they have been hit by a parent. A child should be able to be safe and not struck by a parent venting anger on a child. Smacking is a form of anger from a parent who cannot control the situation78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by H lewis

THE NEED FOR SPEED BUMPS IN WATERGALLAs it is a school road and has lots of traffic coming in and out in excess of the 20mph limit at times on the road , there is an important need for slower traffic due to children and pedestrians walking and driving to and from the school using this road. This is a tight stretch of road and has a huge amounts of parked cars at the side thus making it more of a single track road, the chances of an accident occurring her are relatively high! We need to think of the public and their safety!19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kleofa Nelson

Squash the Squash CourtsCorby Borough Council puts the health and fitness of it's residents on the top of their agenda, and is committed to supporting public and private health and fitness facilities. Corby has the international swimming pool, The Tennis Centre, The Table Tennis Centre, Adrenalin Alley and many more clubs and private companies that offer ways for the many (not just the few) to keep fit. Corby Borough Council also has a wildlife corridor approach to developments which supports and protects the largest area of woodland within an urban area in the UK. What Corby Borough Council does not have is the proper financial support from the Conservatives on the Northamptonshire County Council and in the government. These should be the priorities not "white elephant projects" costing millions that will only help a tiny minority.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Riley

Dangerous parking outside schoolsSafeguarding our children has to be a top priority. Irresponsible and illegal parking around schools is increasingly dangerous. This is a national issue. Current legislation is inadequate and councils do not have the funds to place wardens at all schools to enforce the legislation that is currently in place.203 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Digman

Mental Health waiting timesWhen people are suffering from mental health issues, many times they have tried to help themselves first and as a final resort try to get professional help. To be told you have to wait between 6-18 weeks can be catastrophic for some people, who simply can’t function properly in their day to day lives. It must be nothing short of torture living with a mental health issue, in addition to the potential financial worries and toll it can take on the individuals immediate family. Untreated mental health issues can lead to other mental and physical issues, alcohol and drug abuse and death. It’s never too early to get help but it can be too late. #dontmakemewait18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Clare Black
