• Protect Cranleigh (and surrounding villages) from Asbestos Fibres in Our Drinking Water
    There is no safe level of asbestos exposure. We don't want to wait 30 years for a cancer cluster in Cranleigh to prove that we are at risk from our drinking water. We want independent testing to be carried out now to assess the risk to public health. Almost 30% of the drinking water supply pipes in Cranleigh (highlighted in pink on the above map) are made from asbestos cement (AC), compared to a reported average of 2% throughout the rest of the Thames Water Region. The pipes are between 50 and 70 years old and frequently burst, increasing the amount of free asbestos fibres entering the drinking water supply. Evidence shows that ageing AC drinking water pipes also degrade internally over time through water friction and low pH levels, releasing free asbestos fibres into the drinking water supply. Furthermore, an increase in water pressure within these deteriorating AC pipes to accommodate significant housing development in Cranleigh will lead to more bursts and the release of more asbestos fibres. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has been testing for asbestos fibres in drinking water since 1992 due to decaying AC water mains. No one is testing our drinking water for asbestos fibres, no one is calculating the risk to residents in Cranleigh.

  • Companion bus pass
    Other counties such as Nottinghamshire, Devonshire, East Sussex do pay for companion bus passes for carers of disabled people. They get grants for the government to do it. It is a discretionary thing not a mandatory. However, Lack of the findings for other counties is jeopardising people's independence as it is unfair and immoral for carers to having to pay to go on a bus with a disabled person.

  • Let Hoops and Loops (LGBT Asylum Seekers and Refugees) keep their name.
    Hoops and Loops is a support and social group for LGBT asylum seekers in South Wales, established in 2015 with DPIA, and became associated with Race Equality First in 2016. The group have established an identity under this name, and are recognised in the community. They are not formally incorporated in to Race Equality First, and having decided to no longer be affiliated with REF are being told they cannot keep their name and threatened with legal action. This is intimidation, and is harmful to members of the group and their identity as a group. They must be allowed to keep their name.

  • Stop Nextdoor.com
    Neighbourhood groups are important to many people but social networks that show full names and even partial addresses such as street name and neighbourhood name make the most vulnerable amongst us even more vulnerable!

  • Refugee children deserve our help
    Unaccompanied refugee children in Europe are alone and afraid. They are cold and hungry and at the mercy of traffickers. They were offered the hope of a refuge in Britain but Amber Rudd in the government has decided to put an end to the prospect of their finding a safe home in Britain even though the Dubs agreement specified that 3000 children would be helped. So far only 300 children have been accepted. This is a cruel blow to the hopes of the rest of these children which has been condemned by MPs from all parties and by Religious leaders of all faiths. We beseech Amber Rudd to show British values of fairness, decency and tolerance and allow a safe passage to Britain for all these very vulnerable children.

  • Accept the number of child refugees agreed under the Dubs amendment
    The Government agreed to make an amendment to the number of child refugees who would be admitted to the UK in line with what is now referred to as the Dubs amendment.Only 350 out of 3000 children have so far been admitted and it would appear that the Home Secretary has been delaying this process. Children are hungry, cold, vulnerable and at risk to abuse and exploitation in camps which are unfit for habitation: we have agreed to accept them and many churches and charities have confirmed their willingness to support this process.

  • Theresa May to nominate Angela Merkel for the Nobel Peace Prize
    Angela Merkel has demonstrated global leadership in her response to the refugee crisis. With the rise of the far right and destabilising influences in America the world needs to hold up leaders like Angela Merkel to show other leaders that compassion and action is the way to a better world.

  • Stop Ordnance Survey & Migration Lawyers ads on #Muslimban Cheerleaders Breitbart
    Breitbart News Network has been a cheerleader for Trumps presidential campaign and continues to promote his far right agenda - applauding the #Muslimban, slurring opponents of the ban and supporting French National Front leader Le Pen's plan to bring the ban to Europe. After we started this petition Newman University pulled their ads from #MuslimBan cheerleader Breitbart Media. Stating 'our values of social justice and the common good are extremely important to us'. Ordnance Survey and UK Migration Lawyers should not be paying for adverts in racist far right publications. We call on them to pull their ads from Breitbart immediately.

  • No further downgrades of Buckinghamshire's Hospitals - including Community Hospitals
    Due to underfunding, Buckinghamshire is ahead when it comes to downgrades to our hospitals. Under STPs (Sustainability and Transformation plans), our cash-strapped local hospitals are set to lose more services and sites could potentially be sold off. Following the recent closure of Ward 5B at Wycombe hospital for 'frail older' people, more of our community hospitals such as Marlow are at risk of losing beds. At a time when the NHS is desperately short of beds and social care is struggling, this would be unacceptable.
