Save Nelson House GrimsbyNelson House is a sheltered housing block that is a community which cannot easily be replaced. Shoreline does not have the housing stock available to replace this community and its residents need special care due to their age and infirmities. Despite this and over 60% of the residents voting to keep their homes, Shoreline continues to plan to evict them all and destroy the area that many have lived in for years.Shoreline continue to put finances before this community which has made their feelings very clear during the so-called consultation.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Sandford

SAVE KNOWSLEYWhat it would mean to the local community: The loss of a tremendous amount of Greenbelt and farmland. The loss of wildlife in the woodlands. The loss of valuable open spaces. Disruption of pathways. Loss of natural break from the other nearby communities, creating an ugly urban sprawl. An over capacity for local schools and doctors. Heavy traffic on local roads which are not suitable for the amount of housing proposed. They are already heavily used and always in a poor state of repair. More excessive housing would increase the carbon footprint. The village would lose its heritage. It was in the Domesday Book of 1086. According to National surveys Knowsley is already the 10th Unhealthiest place to live in the country! Knowsley Village is currently an attractive village at the heart of Knowsley authority. Keep Knowsley Cleaner, Safer and Greener. We urge the council not to consider building on the Greenbelt or farmland, but to utilise many of the other concrete areas within Knowsley. These would more than meet the current housing demand.549 of 600 SignaturesCreated by M Murray

Save Whiston's GreenbeltKnowsley Council are planning to sell off thousands of acres of beautiful greenbelt land between Whiston, Cronton and Huyton, so that Redrow Homes can build thousands of houses. We suggest that Knowsley Council would be far better to use brownfield sites first, rather than sell off our valuable land for developers to make a fat profit from. The infrastructure around the area cannot cope with such a huge increase in houses. There are no jobs to support the increase in people, and public transport/road links are already full to bursting point. This development will also cause problems for people trying to register with GPs, schools, local amenities, local hospital services, as well as an increase in demand for services from the council itself. We cannot afford to lose one of our last remaining green spaces and all of the wildlife living in it. This will be crippling for the local area, as well as the areas around it such as Prescot, Cronton and parts of St Helens. Once it's gone, it's gone.3,745 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Sue Parry

STOP the demolition of Earl's Court Exhibition Centre on public health groundsLocal residents and neighbourhood businesses DO NOT WANT the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Planning and Development Control Committee to approve the Reserved Matters Application Ref 2014/03232/DET due soon, before a full independent public health impact assessment is carried out. If any demolition and reconstruction of this HUGE 77-acre West London district is to go ahead, the site and its neighbouring areas will suffer ground contamination, noise pollution (heavy demolition traffic + the accumulative impact of noise), vibration and risks to health during asbestos removal. Furthermore, air pollution in this area, already regularly breaching European air quality standards, make air quality monitoring stations for Hammersmith and Fulham residents essential.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Linda Sanders

SAVE THE ALDERMAN WRAITH SCHOOLBecause the old school is an important part of Spennymoor's heritage, lots the inhabitants of County Durham were schooled there, it should be a listed building and is certainly a heritage building, it has been left without maintainance probably on purpose to run the building down. It was used as recently as last year for a production of George Gently. It has a large school field attached to it that could well be used for outdoor sports and certainly a running track or rubgy pitch or both, the whole area is short of play areas for children at this end of Spennymoor so all the land could be put to good use, rather than more houses I think we have done our bit for the government/council as far as new houses are concerned.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joan Scott

SAVE THE ALDERMAN WRAITH SCHOOLBecause the old school is part of our heritage there are people in County Durham whose careers were started in this school, the building has been left without maintenance for a number of years, this is a grand old building and could be put to better use as a Youth Club there are lots of rooms which could be used for various projects, the huge school field could be used as a running track for budding athletes, there is enough room for a rubgy/football/cricket pitches, the children at this end of Spennymoor are lacking playing areas. I think Spennymoor has more than done their bit with regards to houses, the government/county council should now be looking elsewhere for spare land to build more houses, we are inundated and don't need more. The building was used recently for a BBC1 production of George Gentley and there must be other uses to numerous to mention here where the old school could be used.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joan Scott

SAVE THE WANDERERIt's part of the history of Molineux. On Tuesday the plans to demolish The Wanderer were revealed by a local paper. It’s a tragedy to lose part of the Wolves’ heritage and get a car park instead. Express and Star says: "The historic Molineux Street building used to be a popular haunt for thousands of Wolves fans but closed last year and sold to a mystery buyer. But it can now be revealed that Wolves bought the building from Enterprise Inns and have submitted an application to the city council for its demolition." http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/09/30/wolves-pub-to-be-demolished/2,532 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by ALAN FARRELL

SAVE 55 BROADWAY55 Broadway is London’s first skyscraper and part of British heritage. TFL has just revealed its proposed residential re-design of the iconic Grade 1 Listed building. If allowed to proceed, TFL will take a Grade 1 listed public body building into multiple private ownership (of apartments) and therefore out of public access. In a shocking show of greed, TFL even proposes to construct concrete newbuilds to obliterate the historic garden terraces on the 10th floor . These gardens famously offer impressive views from the unique location of the building, significantly positioned by TFL’s visionary leader Frank Pick to be midway between Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. One of the gardens was even dedicated in honour of an early environmental campaigner associated with TFL. The form and proportions of the original building and Charles Holden’s vision will be damaged irreparably. It is obvious that if the original architect considered it aesthetic and safe, the extra floor would already exist instead of the gardens. Funded by tax-payers, TFL calls itself a ‘custodian’ of London property. What kind of custodian except one acting in breach of duty and good faith will pursue cynical financial gain at the expense of history and our legacy? It must also be a matter of concern whether the rest of the building from the 1920s, is best preserved by a new construction on its wings. TFL is trying to sell off one of our most important heritage assets designed by Charles Holden as apartments to the rich. What next – the Houses of Parliament? Reckless renovation of our heritage for unsuitable use as multi-unit luxury apartments will destroy the soul of our city. TFL is supposed to connect and unite the city. How does it reconcile its ethos and reason for existence with converting its iconic HQ – our heritage as much as theirs - into private apartments for the rich? How does this ‘benefit the city’ (TFL’s own words) and tax-payers?150 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Christian Collins

Build the Ongar Road crossing in BrentwoodLast week someone was taken to hospital after being hit by a car close to the Victoria Arms pub – just yards from where the crossing is supposed to be. The council first said the crossing would be "at least designed" by April 2012 and then they said it would be in place by the end of last year. Now they're saying it will be 6-8 weeks, but haven't appointed a contractor or set a start date. The money is there and ready to pay for the crossing. It's time for the council to stop promising things and start building.

Save historic green space in MeridenMeriden Hall and it's landscaped grounds is a historic Grade 2* listed site, English Heritage have no objection to Pertemps erecting a new glass building which is bigger than Meriden Hall itself, removing trees and wildlife habitat - destroying a historic green space which will be gone forever for future generations. This seems particularly poignant following the centenary year of WW1 as it was the home of Captain Edward Bankes who lived at Meriden Hall with tributes to him shaping the history of the village (there's a link to his story further down the page). This development won't create any new jobs, so there's no benefit for the greater good, and there is a huge amount of empty office space across the Midlands. Green belt should only be built on in 'exceptional circumstances', and English Heritage are wrong, this building shouldn't even be a consideration. Sign the petition and if you've got more to say, you can also object to: [email protected] quoting application 2014/2232 More info and pictures of the proposal at: http://ww2.solihull.gov.uk/planning_new/dc/ViewApp.asp - then enter the year: 2014; Application no: 2232 An artist's impression can be viewed here - this has been rendered to only show the narrowest end of the building, and play down the actual scale (it is bigger than Meriden Hall itself) to make the development look more 'sympathetic' http://ww2.solihull.gov.uk/PlanAppDocs/2014/2232/2232_design_and_access_statement.pdf The closing date on the application doesn't give enough time for the committee to view objections properly, so please sign or object by the end of January.
