Tunnel demanded for Liverpool Port AccessThe current proposals are short term and have negative impact on community health and well being of local residents particularly those living in the immediate vicinity of the A5036. The current proposals also impact detrimentally on green space provision in Rimrose Valley We do not believe the current proposals will alleviate the traffic problems for Port Access in the long term. Highways England have failed to fully review the option of a Tunnel.635 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Trish Hardy

Save the Old Bodlondeb School Youth Centre from DemolitionThe Council are planning to demolishing this Historic community building. [1] Right now, the building is being used by various youth groups including Scouts and providing a vibrant local community hub. This historic building has been a school, a community centre, and seen generations of children use it and learn in it. CADW, the Welsh government body that conserve the heritage of Wales, are considering making the 122-year old Bodlondeb school a listed building. Over the years, numerous architects have been cautious to preserve the building as much as possible. An archeological report warns: “The impact of development would result in the loss of a heritage asset of at least local significance.” [2] We believe it would be a shame if the Council were to just demolish it. We, the undersigned, want to see future generations be given the same opportunities to use Bodlondeb school for community activities for all ages, from spinning classes to knitting.

Make housing developers be transparent in SunderlandCurrent planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths. Sunderland is desperately in need of affordable homes, so that young people can get on the housing ladder. As council housing is non existent, no homes having been built for several years it would be policy to bring back this type of housing also. Surely this could be arranged.673 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kathleen Shipley

PROTECT MIDDLEWICK RANGE MAKE IT A Nature ReserveMiddlewick is situated in Colchester Essex which is the first recorded town in England. The Government want the area to be be sold off for housing and local people who use the area for recreational use want this area to be protected. The local people have seen lots of species that are on the protection list including trees in the area and want to encourage more species to flourish in this area. it has great potential as a nature reserve especially as parts of the area are already protected. Local people also feel that more housing would cause problems in so many ways including poor air quality more crime and mental health problems as well as noting the area does not have the infrastructure to cope with more housing. It is so important to protect this land so that animals have a safe haven, and we can find out and learn about our heritage culture and get a better understanding of our environment. So much could be done with this land including country walks, camping, cycling trails, conservation projects and so much more please dont let more concrete destroy this beautiful countryside.4,647 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Julie Ennifer

Introduce 'Pink Bobbies' (Armadilos) to cycle lanes in Oxford & BritianProtecting cyclist will encourage more people to take to 2 or 3 wheels; in turn, this will deliver better air quality, improve health and make our towns and cities safer for both cyclists and motorists. 'Pink Bobbies' (armadillos) are car friendly as they are designed to nudge oncoming vehicles without damaging tyres and rims, at the same time provide a safe haven for cyclists within dedicated cycle lanes. ‘Pink Bobbies’ are also made from recycled car tires, providing an environmentally sustainable solution to tire disposal.172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Henwood

Alternative plan for Sidmouth's Port Royal - the 3RsIn October this year EDDC will decide on future development for the Port Royal area of our seafront. This follows a scoping study done in conjunction with Sidmouth Town Council. The large-scale development put forward in the consultation (and as proposed in the Local Plan) will have a huge impact on the views, use of the area and change its unique character. People in Sidmouth have been asking why the area can't remain as it is, with subtle improvements and changes. We now call on EDDC to reconsider their plan for a large new building and adopt our proposal to Retain, Refurbish and Reuse. Retain existing buildings, allow careful refurbishment of the whole area and open up discussions on potential uses for the Drill Hall.670 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Cathy Gardner

Bring Pearl HomeIn the early 60's the sculptor James Butler RA was commissioned by Maxwell Fry, the architect who designed much of Hatfield Town Centre, to produce a fountain for White Lion Square, which he did and it was subsequently installed and formally unveiled on 18th April 1970. The fountain was decommissioned in 1986 and the centrepiece sculpture, carved from Portland and Derby stone, of a reclining female nude in a shell, locally known as ‘Pearl’, was moved to Hatfield School. The school closed and the site became New Barnfield Library and Resource Centre, which in turn has also closed. In early 2013 the sculpture was removed from the former school site, some minor restoration work was done to it and it is currently languishing in a storage yard forlornly waiting to be re-situated, in a prominent location that’s as yet to be decided despite numerous requests, in Hatfield, where it rightfully belongs. We, the undersigned, request that as part of the forthcoming redevelopment of White Lion Square that the iconic sculpture of a Reclining Nude in a Shell, ‘Pearl’ by James Butler RA, which formally constituted the centre piece of the fountain in the square, that was commissioned and created specifically for White Lion Square, be reinstated in a prominent location back in White Lion Square. The sculpture ‘Pearl’ was created by James Butler RA who is an internationally renowned artist as a site specific piece to adorn White Lion Square and as such it forms part of Hatfield’s historical and cultural heritage. Every effort should be made to return it to its intended location so that it can once again be enjoyed by the public and once again form a focal point within the square, as was its original intention.479 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Mark Lampert

Save Our Free Shuttle BusThe free shuttle serves everyone in society including the vulnerable, elderly and disabled. It benefits local businesses and has helped reduce congestion and traffic into our town centre. The shuttle is now the only remaining free shuttle running in the UK and is also an important part of our way of life in Ipswich. It is time to stand up to the Council and be heard, remember your signatures count!381 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Shofik Ali

Stop the St James's Surgery relocation to North LynnMany elderly patients who live opposite in the care homes will now have further to travel with no easily accessible bus routes. It's current location is close to the center of town and therefore easier to get to a chemist after your visit to the surgery.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Francis Bone
