Many people are close to there step parents and would like to make them there legal parent's but are over age of 18 and this does not happen in UK , I believe that anyone should make a decision when they are older to make that choice in life. Some people call there step parents mum/dad but they don't feel like they are your parent . I stand today facing this I have been serving for many years for my step father to adopt me but I am over age of 18 and do not have funds to live and pay for this to happen abroad. I believe we should make our own desisions in life and hope many others do too

It is unfair that travel companies are able to penalise parent of school age children by hiking the prices during the school holiday period. It is unacceptable to take children out of school and now we are threatened with court action. Our government need to be tightly governing these companies and stop letting them raise the prices so high, therefore affording more parents a chance to take their families away during peak times.

It is important for our children to learn to share and play with other children without gangs terrorising them. Also been suspicious adults taking photos of children but by the time police arrive 8hrs later are gone our children deserve to be safe.

The internet is so slow and drops out non-stop

It is a safe place for our kids to meet, make new friends, learn new things and be safe. Without it what will the kids do? My kids love it they cook, play games, help raise funds and much more thanks to Joe and his team.

Money Held and not used for the purpose it was Donated is Theft

thousands of people are homeless everyday if the government took control of the landlords and set a basic rent for 1,2 and 3 bedroom properties no matter of the postcode or location just based on the number of rooms in the property something has to be done there are to many people homeless and struggling to pay their rents!!!!!!

Because young children don't understand why they have so long off from school and because not all parents are able to spend huge amounts of money on days out, most parents work and it costs a fortune for childcare during the 6 weeks.

Because we need parental right to allow grandparents to be able to get it in the same way as same sex parents or step parents. Neither of these are blood relatives. There are over 200.000 grandparents bringing up one or more grandchildren in the UK. We have to go to court to seek permission for a residence order or special guardianship order to also gain parental rights. It can take months and months instead of a trip to local court with downloaded form witnessed by a notary. It all needs to be brought into 2017. The Children's Act is to protect children and this isn't. I have my grandson due to his mothers death and mother and fathers substance abuse. I have no legal rights for my grandson. This all needs to change.

Each morning many of us tune in to listen or watch the headlines of the day. BBC Breakfast news is a favourite with thousands of people tuning in each day. This is then followed by the weather report and a large section on sport. This is something I would like to see change. I would like to see better coverage of Arts & Cultural events happening across the UK, promoting Health and well being, community engagement and education. The Edinburgh Fringe is arguably the greatest Cultural event in the world and draws people from across the globe to see a wide range of performances and yet has not been mentioned during the peak times on national television. However, Wimbledon for example, was a daily feature throughout July, guest speakers on BBC Breakfast, Tennis activities and games throughout the show made constant reference to this event. Yet no mention is made to an event that has a much greater audience. ( 473,372 attended Wimbledon 2016, 2,475,143 tickets were sold for Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016). If you would like the BBC to increase its coverage of the Edinburgh Fringe, informing us of the wide range of acts; street performances, comedy, music, dance, theatre, magic - the impact the festival has so much more then please sign this petition and let's change how the arts is reported in the media!

Because I am a single father and severly disable for over 21 years now and struggling to keep my family happy and give them what the deserve especially after losing there schools due to Grenfell towers fire

These bodies bring in the best legal representation, often paid for by the public purse. In most cases relatives are left to fend for themselves at a time when they are still grieving for their loved ones. Relatives usually have limited means and little knowledge of legal procedures and will find the inquest intimidating and confusing. Most people will be shocked to find, as I did, that although you wish to represent your loved one you have no disclosure rights, requests to the court are often either ignored or misinterpreted. Without legal representation an expert witnesses will not take instructions to provide expert opinions and analysis to support the family’s case. Many relatives like me are struggling to understand a death which could have been avoided at the same time they are trying to come to terms with a recent bereavement. They are unaware of the types of inquest available such as the standard UK inquest or the more in depth and investigative EU Article 2 Inquest. Coroners, although supposedly independent, are often familiar with the other party’s legal representatives and in some cases have worked in the same legal practice. In some cases the coroner works with the state to secure a quick verdict leaving the relatives facing decades of work to secure the truth. We live in a society where criminals have more rights than victims or their families and I believe this injustice needs reversing. Legal Aid funding should be extended to serve bereaved families who deserve to know the truth about how their relative died. http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/grieving-widower-howard-denby-tried-13265128 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/calls-inquiry-call-over-suicide-6926557 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/carol-denby-killed-herself-after-6981544 http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/fathers-despair-delays-cps-review-9682318 http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2013-01-14/robbie-powell-death-report-redactions-uncovered-by-wales-this-week/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4393976/Asthma-girl-s-parents-call-unlawful-death-ruling.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4393976/Asthma-girl-s-parents-call-unlawful-death-ruling.html This is important because for the relatives they need closure and only the truth will give them this and for society in general we have seen too many cover up's and as a consequence many more innocent people have suffered when the truth has been hidden. The loss of Legal Aid has disadvantaged the majority with justice and truth only available to those who can afford to buy their version of it.
