Replace the terms 'Girls and Boys/ Ladies and Gentleman' to improve wellbeingThere are significant numbers of people, who feel strongly about these issues - are you one of them? Replacing these terms would signify a move forward in a progressive society that seeks to value people. 'Labelling' is a social construct and as such can be de/reconstructed. Those responsible for providing a service, compulsory or non-compulsory, to the general public can lead the way in replacing these terms from audio and written materials to move closer to a society that embraces equality and diversity in a meaningful way. The positive message that this action could effect links to equality, diversity, mental health, resilience and wellbeing. All of these factors can contribute to flourishing linked not only to the emotional and psychological benefit of the country and as importantly the economic health of a nation. A flourishing nation is a rich nation. The Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (Wales) 2015 sets out this stall. The overt and subconscious messages that permeate society around gender, limit the aspirations of those who absorb and internalise them. Language plays a powerful role in the development of identity and self belief. This call to action requests a simple and clear mandate, to catalyse cultural change and be part of the solution rather than the problem. Wales leads the way on many progressive issues; let this be one of them. Be part of that change.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kelly McCarthy

Honour your promise to the surviving families of the Grenfell Towers tragedy.Upon learning that families who decline to move away from their community & their lives will be declared - "intentionally homeless!" For the families this now means - withdrawal of promised support; loss of housing rights position; & most shockingly - potential loss of custody of their children!!! This is no way to treat British citizens, so I implore anyone who reads this petition, to sign it & send it across their networks, in order to help the traumatised families. Lets make sure that the lessons of past tragedies aren't repeated here; not now, not ever!!! Thank you.93 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Macca

Set a maximum working temperature during summerDuring the heatwave, everyone is becoming very uncomfortable with the heat. Often finding that they become ill. Currently there is no set maximum working temperature, however i think this should change. Not only do i think this is unsafe for children in schools and nurseries, but adults working in poorly airconditioned workplaces too. It is important because workers and young children are at risk of becoming dehydrated and unfocused. Equally staff are feeling uncomfortable.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Price

Emergency accommodation for Grenfell Tower victimsIt is obscene that foreign investors can buy up and leave unoccupied these properties whilst in this country there is a dire affordable housing shortage. It is a sad indictment of our society, and in particular of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, that this state of affairs is allowed to exist.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Earney

Make life long anticoagulant therapy free on prescriptionI was diagnosed with a condition called factor v leiden mutation when I was 19. I have to take life long medication to prevent a fatal blood clot. I already have had 3 clots. One of which was multiple and on my lungs. I spent 48 hours in icu and a further 10 days on a hospital ward. After my diagnosis the rest of my family where tested as it is a genetic disorder. factor v leiden is just one condition that anti coagulation therapy is used for. I am 50 times more likely to clot than someone who dosent have this condition.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lynne Turrell

Please let the People Parking Bay in Hackney remainWe would like to see a people parking bay or parklet in every street in Hackney. The provision of official parklets by Hackney Council in three locations in Hackney in three years is welcome and we recognise Hackney is ahead of the curve in London. However, it will take a millennium to have a significant impact on the parking environment in Hackney. Therefore, we would like to work with the Council to develop a community and business led 'parklet' programme that will allow people and businesses to invest in the public realm. This experimental community parklet allows the gauging of public support for such an idea. Please do let the experiment run its course. The bay is very popular with residents and passers by. The visitor book has hundreds of positive comments: https://goo.gl/photos/gUA8bbtaMamuCcUC8 Walking is the most common way for people to get around in Hackney but while car parking dominates kerbside space there is little provision for pedestrians to rest. Many people, including older and disabled people, and people with kids need regular rest stops while walking, and pavements are too narrow for walking let alone placing benches on them. The popularity of this people parking bay is demonstrating that resting spots for pedestrians are likely to very popular. The people parking bay was a lead article in Local Transport Today. https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/parking-review/news/53699/hackney-resident-wants-to-convert-parking-bays-into-people-places www.peopleparkingbay.com951 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Brenda Puech

THE GRENFELL TOWER FIRE HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR FIREMEN TO CARRY OUT FIRE SAFETY ASSESSMENTSGrenfell Tower was built in 1974 by Kensington and Chelsea which remains one of the richest boroughs in London. The tower block was refurbished last year; part of the refurbishment involved exterior cladding and additional flats. The tenants made it known that the refurbished building was a fire hazard; their complaints ignored. On Wednesday 14 June 2017 the tenants of Grenfell Tower paid with their lives when a flat caught a light as a result of a faulty fridge. People lost their lives for no good reason. Mothers threw their children out of the window in order to save them whilst they perished. We cannot as a civilised society put profit before human lives. We cannot treat people who are poor as less than equal because they are poor. We want to ensure that fire safety checks, risk assessments and fire safety training is immediately returned to the Fire Brigade. Firemen have integrity. They are responsible and better equipped to deal with the prevention and detection of fires. It is logical that those responsible for saving lives should do the relevant checks to make sure buildings are safe; not independent third parties for a profit. We have seen first-hand the results of a complete failure to have the fire brigade carry out risk assessments, so please return this important function back to the fire brigade and restore their numbers to the correct levels so that they can do their job; which is to keep us the public safe.120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jo Cargill
