• Save Barrington Court Gardens
    Camden's plans for houses on these sites are a really bad idea for several reasons. These will NOT be Social Housing and it is very unlikely that they'll be able to sell these plots at any profit. Camden's previous attempts at developments nearby have resulted in empty apartments. Local Residents' concerns about what will be built on the sites are being ignored so that Camden have a chance of selling them off to a private developer. Please sign our petition to object to development of these 3 sites. It is now time for Camden to listen to the local community. Your voice counts!

  • RailPlan20/20 changes - London Bridge to Littlehampton
    On May 20th 2018 Thameslink and Southern train timetable changes. Passenger journeys in London and the south east have more than doubled in the last two decades. With such a growth Thameslink decided to reduce the number of trains on this route from 3 to 2. Both passing from Bedford with not enough capacity for the amount of passengers commuting on this route. In addition, the last train is at 5.55 not suitable for most City workers hence creating work issues work such huge working population. We need more trains!

  • Re-Development for Stallards Skate Park in Trowbridge
    The young people of Trowbridge have moved forward over the last 10 years, as has scootering and skating in general, the park is not accessible to new riders as it is an extreme park and their is no information on the outside of the park to explain the safety aspect to the users of parents. The park has a lot of additional areas that could be easily developed to incorporate a better space for young people and help them from using streets to preform their tricks to increase their ability. The skate Park in Trowbridge is well used and with better facilities to a growing number of young people could be increased further.

  • Help the Mau Mau Bar on Portobello Road survive.
    The Licensing officials at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea are reviewing licensing hours of the Mau Mau Bar on Portobello Road. At present its 11pm in the week and midnight Friday Saturday. This will make it very hard for the bar to survive as it needs the after pub revenue from the area to carry on trading. What is needed is that Mau Mau has the same licensing as the other bars in Portobello such Ukai which sell alcohol till 1am on the weekend and 12 in the week. Lest we forget that Mau Mau is the LAST proper neighbourhood bar come live music venue, with pub prices and a truly mixed clientele that 7 days a week puts on all manner of great music, spoken word and bands of all ages who play blues, jazz, reggae, ski, soul, punk and rock n roll that reflects the needs of the area. For many young bands this is one of the few places where they can play live and start their career while, for us the patrons, this is the only place where one can see greats acts for a £5. For example, over the Portobello Live festival Mau Mau fielded 24 bands many local and from far afield as South Korea and France and Latin America. So please sign this petition and as soon as we a reach a significant number of signatures we will present it to the council and hope they grant said license.

  • Close Cambrian Road and High Street to unauthorised vehicles
    At around 5.30am on the 30th April 2018, a car was driven into a group of people outside a nightclub on Cambrian Road in Newport City Centre The car was repeatedly driven into a crowd and two women have received life changing injuries due to this. Newport City Council, (in their wisdom) have decided to impose restrictions on the licensing conditions of one of the clubs on the street. This is not a solution to the problem and is being used for political point scoring. Cambrian Road (where the incident happened) and High Street both have automatic bollards in place, however the Council have allowed these to fall into disrepair. This petition calls on the Council to repair those bollards and close Cambrian Road & High Street during the periods specified above. This will ensure the safety of all people on a night out in the City Centre and prevent the possibility of this sort of thing happening again. Isn't it about time that the Council listened to those who use the City at night? This would of course be done in consultation with the businesses on High Street & Cambrian Road.

  • Food for free for all - it should be our right!
    The UK imports over half the food we consume. There is food poverty in many areas: Yet Councils across the nation plant pretty trees and shrubs in public amenity areas. How much better would it be if we could step outside and find food trees and shrubs growing where we could just help ourselves for free. I lived abroad for a few years and there were orange trees growing wild everywhere, you could just help yourself whenever you wanted, it was great! We can't grow oranges, but there are many crops we could grow. Why can't we pick free food for all? Surely it should be our right!

  • Save Meadowbank - People before Private Profiteers
    Currently there are 2 planning applications, one is full planning application for the redevelopment of the new downsized stadium whilst the other application is pre planning proposal that involves the selling off off and using the surrounding surplus land to build student accommodation, hotels and 360+ flats. Only a minority being 'affordable housing'. The development will involve the loss of 150+ mature healthy trees including very rare healthy Wheatley Elms, which the Council has spent millions over the years caring for, and green spaces. All of this will have a detrimental effect on local residents and the wider Edinburgh community for numerous reasons e.g. health, community cohesion, environment. The consultation in 2016 was inadequate and the recent planning application notification list was distributed to approximately 450 homes. While this may be legal, it is inadequate and undermines the Scottish Government policies which push for more community engagement. Local residents and the wider Edinburgh communities deserve to be made aware that they are losing an international sports centre due to sustained and constant lack of Council’s investment and for the sake of private developers’ profit. The proposed redevelopment will not meet the needs of all the current service users.

  • Save Grassroots Sport
    This campaign is important because currently, the population is getting unhealthier, sports clubs are shutting due to a lack of funding and, when sports clubs are still running, their function is hindered by poor facilities. Sports clubs across the country will have suffered this past winter due to snow, causing waterlogging and concurrent damage to pitches and playing fields. Where is the incentive for people to go out and exercise, playing a sport that they love, if the facilities hinder the enjoyment of the game? This is the crying shame facing sport in our country, that there’s billions of pounds being passed around the elite, but everyday the sport-loving public have to cope with sports clubs struggling to survive from month to month. Let’s change this!

  • Skate Park for Bradford On Avon
    Skateboarding, scootering and associated activities are hugely popular with young people. There is a high demand for somewhere safe and exciting in the town for skaters to use. At present, most skaters use the station car park. They deserve something better. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that provision of resources like skate parks greatly reduces youth crime and unrest, which benefits the local community and contributes to making towns more vibrant places to live.

  • Install drinking water fountains in Loughborough Town Centre
    Single use plastic bottles are becoming a major menace to the environment. 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are sold in the UK each year, and although every local authority in the UK now provides household recycling collections, the recycling rate for plastic bottles has plateaued at just under 60 per cent. The advantage of public drinking fountains and refills, says environmental campaigner Ben Reynolds, deputy chief executive of the charity Sustain is that they reduce the “insanity” of bottled water, much imported from France and some from as far afield as Fiji. Drinking water fountains in Loughborough Town Centre would mean that residents and visitors could refill bottles for free, drastically cutting down on the number o single use plastic bottles being used. A well-designed fountain could also become a feature for the town, like 'The Sock Man'.

  • Amendment to proposed traffic calming in Over Wallop
    - The volume and speed of traffic using Over Wallop is inappropriate. - The traffic situation in the village is dangerous with numerous incidents involving pets in recent years and a number of near-misses with school children. - We absolutely support a traffic calming scheme in the village - but do not support certain elements of the scheme as proposed by Hampshire County Council. - The proposed permanent closure of Salisbury Lane will cause a very material increase in traffic on Station Road (as was evidenced during the recent temporary closure of the lane). - It seems inequitable that Station Road should bear the entire traffic burden in the village. - We believe a fairer solution would be that Salisbury Lane remains open and that chicanes are placed on both Station Road and Salisbury Lane to deter use as a cut-through and slow traffic. - This solution should distribute traffic between Salisbury Lane and Station Road, thereby minimising the impact of road traffic on residents of both roads. - In addition, we strongly believe that changes are required to the road layout (introduction of a mini roundabout) at the junction of the Old Stockbridge Road and the A343 at Kentsboro in order to support the flow of traffic away from Over Wallop. This junction is already an accident blackspot which will only get worse if the proposed traffic calming measures are introduced. If your husband, wife, parnter, children (over 18) or others support this petition please ask them to sign individually. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PETITION IS CONFIDENTIAL AND THAT "SIGNATORIES" NAMES WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF HAMPSHIRE COUNTRY COUNCIL.
