Home Office must admit unlawful detentionNestor Sylla is much loved and highly respected. Following the murder of his sister in Guinea, Africa, in 2006, he fled for his life to the UK, but previous legal work failed Nestor when a solicitor did not respond to a Home Office request for photographs. His complaint about the solicitor was upheld. A natural helper, Nestor has volunteered for the BOAZ TRUST winter night shelter for seven years. He has also volunteered for Red Cross and the Mustard Tree. Nestor has created a new family in the UK and, in the process, become a vital carer for both Lawrence, aged 14, and for Elizabeth Coleman, retired. Lawrence says: “He’s a really great guy and helps me with my homework and takes me to school.” And Elizabeth says: “Nestor’s home is England. He is like a son to me. He has a lot to contribute to our society.” In April of 2017 Nestor, who is also a natural leader, was elected to represent many destitute people, questioning the Greater Manchester Mayoral Candidates at a Housing Hustings about their plans for tackling the city’s desperate housing problem. Nestor was detained on Friday 30th June 2017. He had a new Leave to Remain application that was received by the Home Office BEFORE he was detained, therefore his detention was unlawful. His lawyer, Mervyn Cross of Duncan Lewis said: ”There was absolutely no reason to detain Nestor.” When Nestor’s MP, Lucy Powell, contacted the Home Office on Nestor’s behalf, the Home Office insisted that Nestor’s detention was lawful. The MP has now written to the Immigration Minister again pointing out that Nestor has documentary evidence that proves his Leave to Remain application was indeed received by the Home Office before his detention. The Home Office must be called to account for this unlawful detention and for attempting to deny that they unlawfully detained Nestor Sylla. An admission of such unlawful detention will contribute to ensuring that the Home Office stops unlawfully detaining people seeking asylum.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Max S

Consult the People of the UK on the final Brexit dealAn offer was recently made to MPs to vote on whether to accept the deal that is negotiated, or to leave without one. But there is a third option, which is to say no to both, and to stay in Europe. The original public debate on whether to leave Europe was full of misinformation and promises that have no prospect of being kept. As time moves on, it is becoming increasingly evident that the damage to the UK economy is significant, and is forecast to get even worse. In view of this stark reality the terms on which the UK will be obliged to quit Europe should be put to the nation as a whole, and not left to politicians alone.448 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Marc Lavelle

Change Crayke Primary School to 20mph zoneSchool kids have to cross between parked cars, meaning it could only be a matter of time before an accident happens as heavy good vehicles, cars and trucks use the road in a 30mph zone. Because of parked cars, traffic is reduced to a single lane - meaning there is a great deal of congestion. We have the opportunity to influence Hamleton Highways and the police who are coming out to access the situation and with your help we can make this happen for the safety of our children. Most villages I have driven passed have these clear marking and is a 20 mph zone through out the villages.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Claire Walker

Southwark faith groups concern about Universal CreditAs faith congregations, groups and charities in this wonderful borough we have seen at first hand the growing number of people suffering with the negative affects of the way that Universal Credit has been introduced into our borough during the pilot phase. We know of far too many families, couples and individuals who have been left destitute and in fear due to the way the system works. Our experience, time and time again is that most people just don't have the financial resilience to survive the wait for benefits and are spending far too long having to repay the debt they have built up waiting to receive a payment. The system needs to focus providing a situation where people can have financial security, so that they can concentrate their time on improving situations rather than just finding ways to survive. We want to show our support for the work you are doing in asking the government to pause the roll out to other boroughs. It is not good enough for us to continue to provide the sticking plasters of foodbanks, cooked meals and fuel poverty support alone. These help to make the situation easier. They don't stop it happening. In the words of Bishop Desmond Tutu; “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.” Well Universal Credit is making people fall in to financial crisis. We want to support you to do everything possible to stop people falling into crisis due to Universal Credit.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Price

Ban smacking children in EnglandAt the moment a parent can smack a child and social services deem this ok. Courts side with social services allowing the smacking to carry on. Social services and courts do not listen to the children when they are telling them they have been hit by a parent. A child should be able to be safe and not struck by a parent venting anger on a child. Smacking is a form of anger from a parent who cannot control the situation78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by H lewis
