Condemn Donald Trump for pulling out of Paris climate agreementThis is an international problem, which met with an international solution - and Britain must join the international condemnation of America's terrible, selfish decision. We do not want to live in a world dominated by bullies. We do not want to live in a Britain too scared to do anything America doesn't want. We demand leadership that makes us proud to be British. If Theresa May cannot condemn America's decision to condemn our planet, will she ever stand up for anything? British people stand up for others, and we stand up for what we believe in. We do not want a Prime Minister who licks the boots of the American president. Theresa May must show strong leadership and sign the international letter condemning Donald Trump and his abandonment of the Paris agreement.9,517 of 10,000 SignaturesCreated by The Big Deal

Closure of Vital ClinicThis clinic provides an essential co-ordinated approach for all sorts of vulnerable people with mental health needs. Appointments can be arranged in less than a day, with someone who is having a crisis with health professionals such as Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Mental health Nurses, G.Ps and Dietitians. Services are being transferred to St.Ann's Hospital but most professionals will now be scattered all over the borough making full co-ordinated treatment impossible. Also, most clients are very vulnerable and extremely intimidated by going to a hospital like St.Ann's. Community treatment should be just that, provided in the community. A lot of people will have appointments few and far between and some will be too scared to go. Please help us to stop this closure. They are only doing this to sell the building and making a mere £2 million pounds. My family member is among those affected. A person who got to Cambridge University through sheer determination from an ordinary comprehensive school. A very young teenager was forced to leave by an uncaring head of department at Cambridge because she was suffering from all sorts of anxieties. No offer of help was made. This experience led to a full mental break down. She faced having no future until this clinic stepped in and helped her with their specialised treatment. However, if the closure goes ahead, she cannot face going to St.Ann's and her condition will deteriorate as a result. I would be so grateful if you could sign this petition. The government are only closing it to save the NHS a tiny amount. It will back fire because the chaos that will be created will cost them millions. Thank you so much.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol Ukwu

Stop the taxation on people with dementiaDementia is the single biggest killer for people over 60, taxing people with this horrible disease is absurd. This condition is futile and people should not be punished for a condition they are unable to control.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicole Back

STOP HUGE VODAFONE MAST IN WELLS RESIDENTIAL AREAThis proposed telecoms mast is huge (17.5 meter) and totally out of proportion with it's surroundings i.e. a residential area near the historic Wells city centre. It will dominate the skyline for many nearby. The mast and associated cabinets will affect pedestrian safety further in an already notorious black spot. The mast will emit a forever increasing amount of radio waves; local residents are very worried about possible negative effects on their health, and it is thought that children and elderly are even more vulnerable to the effects. There are several schools in the area and the mast will be sited along the school routes. We also need clarification of possible effects of other associated electro-magnetic radiation on residents living near a mast. The mast will lead to major value loss of the properties in the neighbourhood especially the ones near to the actual site. Local residents argue that the planning application may be in breach with their human rights of enjoyment of their property, in particular because it is thought that there are more suitable alternative sites in non-residential areas, so the service can be provided if this is seen as absolutely necessary in the interest of the wider public. In addition the installation of the mast will totally remove the individual's choice to be able to avoid exposure to the signals.640 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Niels Hak

Make Binders Readily Available on the NHSThe trans community have suffered a lot over generations, and one of the issues is the price and accessibility of binders. Binders are usually sourced online at a high price rate because of the shipping and manufacturing, as well as most of them being made in America. This makes it significantly difficult for working class or unemployed trans men to find a cheaper alternative for their wellbeing. Binders are sold on Amazon and Ebay at lower prices, however in my experience, they are not very reliable and well made. I believe that as a gender non-conforming individual who uses binders myself, we should not have to pay for something that helps us feel more comfortable and helps with d***horia. Waiting lists for surgery for the trans community is very long and can take up to a certain amount of years. Surely, there should be a free service that helps until the surgery is finalised. Some trans people choose not to have surgery and that is completely their choice, but they should have access to good quality, free binders on the NHS that they can use everyday and feel themselves. If they can fund sexual health, then they can fund mental health. I believe that giving this opportunity to the trans and non-binary community will promote intersectionality, benefit mental health, and may even save lives.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Victor Foot

Make it compulsary for dog poop bags to be biodegradableSome dog owners collect the dogs poop in a bag and dispose of inappropriately which unpleasent and is worst than not picking up the poop as the bag will remain for decades. Biodegradabale bags would be better for the enviroment if disposed of correctly or incorrectly.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Kennedy

Darlington Memorial Hospital Donor Milk BankDarlington Memorial Hospital have started looking into opening up a milk bank - which is great news! This would be the first and only milk bank in the North East of England and it would be a wonderful resource for all the mums who cannot breastfeed but do not wish to use formula milk. The idea of setting it up has not been approved yet as it requires time. However, whilst the hospital carry out any necessary assessments, it's important that they hear from all kinds of people in the area who support this idea. I've recently had my 6 month old daughter: as I wasn't making enough milk for her and obtaining donor milk wasn't an option, I had no choice but to use formula milk. I'm not on my own though. Many other mums, especially those with premature babies, also wish they could access donor milk. Donating milk is safe as it involves procedures such as donor screening, a series of tests, pasteurising the milk, etc.589 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Amy Waddington

Lollipop person at Oakwood Academy school in PlymouthThis is about the health and safety of the children of surrounding areas. We need a lollipop person to protect them from being hit by vehicles.

Changing cannabis lawsCannabis has been proven to have huge medicinal benefits, for lots of chronic and terminal conditions. The health benefits should out weigh the draconian laws on the Isle of Man. Jersey are doing it, so we don't need permission from the UK. Like they have said we do. Please sign and lets not only try to change for medicinal purposes but for possession, the amount of money saved through prison, legal fee's police time, money and resources.655 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Gavin Organ

Make Basic Life Support a part of the School Curriculum so that more lives can be savedThe 999 Emergency Ambulance Service is under pressure to hit targets and with the increasing amount of people within the UK is creating bigger problems. Imagine the positive impact it would have on everyone if 'Basic Life Support' was taught in schools. This would help the emergency services also would give a better life expectancy for the more severe issues such as Heart Attack and any other major life threatening situations. Besides giving the added advantage of promoting and preserving lives, this would also give a good life skill and good footing for the child as they grow if they wish to proceed into the medical sector. Introducing BLS into the school curriculum will preserve, prevent and promote not only life but skills and knowledge of all.140 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lee Goddard
