Allow pupils more choice of footwear at Blatchington Mill School.Wearing the type of shoes enforced by the school decreases movement and exercise at break and lunch times. Movement and exercise has been proven to provide both physical and mental benefits. Some children walk long distances to and from school and the type of shoes being enforced are not suitable for this and may in turn see pupils abandoning beneficial walks and resorting to other forms of transport. We urge the school to be more flexible and reconsider its policy on footwear for the health of its pupils. Trainers have been designed as a progressive step towards increasing comfort and activity and we therefore find the schools policy on footwear regressive. Any suggestion to bring in a spare pair of comfortable shoes is impractical not to mention an added expense.207 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Clynes

Rossington fly problem.Rossington, Doncaster, has seen a massive increase in the number of flies, hundreds are entering homes on a daily basis. It is unhygienic and upsetting to residents who have put up with worsening conditions over the last 2 years. Businesses have been warned to improve their waste disposal and cleanliness but no lasting action has taken place and the issue has in fact worsened, leaving residents ill.1,699 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Cheryl Moy

Waive the unfair parking fines on hospital staffIndigo operate a poorly run car park for the demand it gets, and feel it is appropriate to fine staff because they have to park in the "wrong" space. Help NHS staff do their jobs without worrying about paying thousands of pounds in parking fines and cancel any outstanding debt. We should value our NHS workers, not make them re-mortgage their house to pay fines for something they had no choice over. Why should they save someone's life then find they got a parking ticket?12,635 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Hugh Tonks

Stop charging Doctors and Nurses to park at their place of work.Most hospitals in Wales allow free parking for doctors, nurses, patients and visitors, whereas University Hospital Wales charge all of the above for using their car parks. It is very wrong that essential workers, such as doctors and nurses, are being charged for parking at their place of work, and the practise should be stopped immediately. After a recent unsuccessful challenge in court, these workers now face massive bills, which will cause severe hardship to most of those affected. This must stop NOW!!1,522 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jim Rafferty

Introduce 'Pink Bobbies' (Armadilos) to cycle lanes in Oxford & BritianProtecting cyclist will encourage more people to take to 2 or 3 wheels; in turn, this will deliver better air quality, improve health and make our towns and cities safer for both cyclists and motorists. 'Pink Bobbies' (armadillos) are car friendly as they are designed to nudge oncoming vehicles without damaging tyres and rims, at the same time provide a safe haven for cyclists within dedicated cycle lanes. ‘Pink Bobbies’ are also made from recycled car tires, providing an environmentally sustainable solution to tire disposal.172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Henwood

Stop closure of Adult Care CentresThe Adult Care Centres are vital for the frail,elderly and disabled. They provide specialist bathing and other facilities as well as trained staff to make life bearable for many elderly and disabled people as well provide a few hours of much needed respite for their carers and families ( often elderly and frail themselves). What are these people going to do if these centres close?11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Feroza Baldick

A FULL BAN ON HARMFUL SUBSTANCES (ACID)There has been a great increase in the UK of acid attacks on innocent individuals. Those people have suffered severe burns all over their bodies with substantial facial disfigurement. The injuries the victims have are life changing and have a severe negative impact on both physical and mental health. The purpose of these attackers is to spread terror and fear amongst the general public causing people not to leave their homrs and changing their daily lifestyles. It's vital that the government introduces a strong ban on such substances.353 of 400 SignaturesCreated by TABREZ HUSSAIN

Cheshire East's withdrawal of some supported bus servicesThe saving of £1.6 million would be counterproductive as cutting bus services in Cheshire East will have undesirable consequences and cause distress and inconvenience to many residents. We believe that the following groups would be more adversely affected; the elderly, disabled and infirm, the young and people on low incomes. Getting to work, shops, schools, colleges, doctors, banks, social events and hospital appointments would be made more inaccessible. We also believe that trade in towns and town markets will be affected. The stopping of evening services will have a negative affect on restaurants and pubs and other social groups. We are concerned that the withdrawal of bus services will result in more cars on the road and significant reduction in air quality. Many of the towns and villages are growing in size and as a result we should be given improved services not declining ones.797 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Paula Eaton

DETOX/REHABILITATION CENTRE BELFASTWITH A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN/YOUNG AND VULNERABLE ADULTS BECOMING ADDICTED TO SUBSTANCES (Many of whom suffer from Mental Health issues) IT IS A VERY MUCH NEEDED FACILITY TO SAVE OUR LOVED ONES. WE ARE THE ONLY PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS FACILITY. EVERYDAY WE HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE AND VULNERABLE ADULTS TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES BECAUSE OF THE HOPELESSNESS OF TRYING TO SEEK HELP AND NONE BEING AVAILABLE, OUR HOSPITALS ARE BEING STRETCHED BEYOND COPING WITH CONSTANT ATTENDEES HAVING OVERDOSED OR SERIOUSLY SELF-HARMED THEN AFTER BEING TREATED THEY ARE SENT HOME TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN AS A MUM I HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT AND PLEADING FOR YEARS FOR SUCH A FACILITY AND AM TIRED OF BEING FOBBED OF BY THE DUAL DIAGNOSIS CRY AND BEING PASSED FROM PILLAR TO POST WITH SERVICES PASSING THE BUCK ONE SAYING IT IS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE THE OTHER SAYING IT IS AN ADDICTION ISSUE, WELL LETS SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY PROVIDING A FACILITY WHERE BOTH ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED. IT IS WRONG THAT AGENCIES ARE EXPECTING ADDICTS TO BE CLEAN FOR 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN ENGAGE WITH THEM IF THEY COULD BE CLEAN FOR 6 WEEKS THEY WOULDN'T NEED THE SERVICE AND IT IS WRONG FOR THOSE SUFFERING WITH MENTAL HEALTH TO HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH ILLNESSES WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THINGS NEED TO CHANGE. PLEASE HELP TO MAKE THESE CHANGES HAPPEN BY SIGNING THIS PETITION THANK YOU ANNIE DAVEY (Reaching Out Action Support Group)735 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Annie Davey

Cheshire East: Save The Millbrook UnitThe proposed closure of the Millbrook Unit has serious implications for the health and wellbeing of thousands of Cheshire East residents across the entire borough and threatens to damage the lives and treatment of so many. Government and council funding cuts have left our local health services stretched to the max, with mental health provision now dangerously poor. The closure of the Millbrook Unit would mean patients and families having to drive over an hour to access the care and treatment they so desperately need and deserve in Chester or on the Wirral. At a time when we are facing a crisis in mental health, we cannot allow this to happen.
