• Get EDF to re-instate their cycle/walking path on the A39 in Bridgwater
    If we lose this opportunity we fear that the land will be built on and we will have lost the chance to link safe cycling routes into and through Bridgwater forever.

  • Do not turn Hillside Park playing field, Bodmin, into a car park.
    It is the only public access sports area in West Bodmin. There is no indication they would replace it. Bodmin is already an air pollution management area. The traffic fumes in the area of the car park will remain at the bottom of the valley and increase the already existing air pollution problem.

  • Anglesey Says No to Pylons
    This petition is relevant to all rural communities who face new electricity transmission lines due to the growth of nuclear and renewable energy Anglesey is a rural, island community in North Wales, with a small population. Income and house prices are well below the national average. Agriculture and tourism are vital to the local economy. We oppose National Grid’s proposal due to the impact on: 1 - The landscape - which will adversely affect tourism 2 - Property prices - which will not be compensated 3 - Health - there is growing evidence of adverse effects of electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) 4 - Farming - leading agricultural organisations are opposed If Ofgem considered these impacts, National Grid would use underground or subsea cables.

  • Protect our children and residents, by saying no to fracking in Haxby and Wigginton area
    As parents and other local community members, we are worried about the health impacts, among many other impacts, that the exploratory drilling and fracking in our area will cause. Licences have already been granted in this area, and exploratory drilling may well take place before the end of 2017. Water companies have already warned that drinking water could be contaminated with methane gas and chemicals used in fracking, in any drilled area. These are our villages, where we and our children live, grow up and go to school. This is their home and safe place. If there should even be the smallest risk that their health would be affected by fracking or exploratory drilling, we should be able to object to it and our MP should object to plans*, in the best interest of his or her constituents. *We ask that they object to action which includes exploratory drilling as well as actual extraction, whether it uses less or more than the prescribed cubic volume at each stage or in total - if less, it can slip through and be carried out under current legislation, without planning permission, or giving locals the chance to formally object.* Fracking uses huge amounts of water that must be transported to the fracking site, which is going to have an environmental impact. Other possible risks include: - disposal of significant quantities of radioactive waste water - thousands of HGV movements for every frack - noise pollution - risk to local wildlife and our beautiful villages and surrounding countryside - It is understood that house prices may also be negatively affected in a fracked area. Whichever way we all vote, we want the elected MP to pledge to proactively fight fracking in this area, for the sake of the people who live here.

  • Save the Euston and Somer's Town Parks
    Euston Road and Hampstead Road are two highly polluted areas in Central London not far from the Telecom Tower. 12 to15 mature large trees in St. James' Gardens and several more in front of Euston station, highly valuable in combatting pollution damage to our health caused by constant heavy traffic, are to be cut down to make way for a HS2 which is being built to knock 20 mins off a journey to the West Midlands. St. James' Gardens provides a very pleasant haven of tranquility in the midst of a busy, polluted area at the back of Euston Station and supports wildlife- young birds. Historic gravestones and a monument provide an impressive reminder of our history ( sailors intercepting slave ships) in the 19th century. I used to play there when I was a child on the swings, now replaced by a well-used sports pitch; a toddlers' playground also exists. HS2 has been passed by Parliament but is there really NO WAY that this company cannot preserve the scarce bit of beautiful nature that has existed in this area for so many years and gives respite to so many? Furthermore, Camden Council has, apparently of necessity, sold community green space to private developers. Again, in a built-up residential area, these green spaces are precious for adults and children alike : of course, it's the trees again which have to go to make way for the luxury flats. If you value peace of mind and your health, please sign this petition. I can't tell you how much it means to me mentally and physically, to be in a beautiful, quiet space and, judging by the scarves which have carefully been tied round all the trees to be chopped; so do many others.

  • Stop Commercial flights at RAF Northolt
    RAF Northolt has a proud history in the service of Britain, but after years of changes by the back door almost every flight is now commercial. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recently increased the number of non-military flights from 7,000 to 12,000 every year with no consultation with residents. That’s in addition to the thousands of flights over west London’s already congested skies. Any other civil airport would have had to go through the proper planning process, allowing the public to have their say. But the MoD just hid behind the veil of national security and the local council seemed happy to let them. A secret report recently revealed Northolt could take up to 50,000 commercial flights a year, including regional airlines using bigger jets. Now they are preparing to spend £45 million of taxpayers’ money on renovations. With regional airlines like FlyBe lobbying hard to use Northolt “right now”, it’s not hard to work out why these changes are being made. This is the next step on the road to becoming a fully fledged regional airport. This could be your last chance to stop up to 50,000 commercial flights a year and Northolt effectively becoming Heathrow’s fourth runway. If you don’t want this to happen, join our campaign and tell the Government to end commercial flights at Northolt now. Please visit http://stopnortholt.org for more information.

  • Save Our Trees
    The trees are an important area for the environment, for the birds nesting and roosting in them. The trees form a magnificent canopy over the village green, an amenity used by the general public and also by photographers especially for weddings and Christenings. The area is extremely attractive and sets off the approach to St. Peter's Church.

  • Zebra crossing on Horseferry Road
    The road is heavily used by both vehicles and pedestrians. Unfortunately my son was hit by a car while attempting to cross at the island crossing. There has also been other pedestrian incidents including near misses. It is also used by two local schools as well as local residents and businesses. There needs to be a safer crossing in place for pedestrians which will encourage drivers to slow down and be more vigilant.

  • Save Studio 24
    As a resident of Edinburgh and long term clubber Studio 24 has, is and ALWAYS WILL BE a safe haven for unique, gifted and individually minded youngsters to share a safe common space to express themselves fully and safely, as well as perpetually. Hundreds of thousands of patrons have spent a multitude of nights enjoying the culture created within the club, one that has kept alive a special flame ignited in the golden eras of freedom and love throughout time. Those moving into the area obviously have a proper chip on their shoulder about what this venue stands for, and as such should PROPERLY have considered what environment they were choosing to live near and act accordingly rather than bullying the staff and patrons into the situation currently in process. This appeal is for anyone and everyone who has ever made lifelong connections, memories and values on the beautiful club dancefloor of Studios and the world, and an impassioned plea to keep said environment open to allow real love and passion to continue to flourish exponentially and forever. PLEASE SAVE OUR VENUE

  • Residents of Burnley Against - The Local Plan 2016
    Burnley Council have created a Local Plan for the Town for the next 16 years. The Residents have not been properly consulted over many aspects of this plan over the past 6-10 years. Local Councillors and County Councillors have failed to inform their electorate. The Majority Labour Council have forced the Local Plan through all the voting schedules with a total disrespect for Public Opinion and disregarded comments and local public knowledge. This Local Plan includes:- The Destruction of Greenfield sites by development of 500+ Houses and New Factory estates. The Building of a Gypsy Traveler site in Stoneyholme the heart of the town center next to a primary school, a new housing development and in a socially underfunded area. The absorption of local villages such as Worsthorne & Briercliffe by speculative developers into the Town boundary. The Destruction of Areas of Rural Natural beauty in Padiham to build warehouse space on the hillside at Shuttleworth Mead. This creation of the Local Plan has NOT included. Consultation with residents through the appointed working party of Councillors Continually working with residents or groups in the town, or the setting up any resident committees. A fully costed viable business plan to show how this plan will benefit the Town. Alternative sites and solutions within it should the Local Plan be shown to be failing in its execution over the 16 year period - no Plan B. The Cost of this Local Plan to the Tax Payer of Burnley is over £2million - the last plan in 2006 cost around £250,000, an 1/8 of the cost of the 2016 plan - this needs to be made public.

  • STOP HUGE VODAFONE MAST IN WELLS RESIDENTIAL AREA
    This proposed telecoms mast is huge (17.5 meter) and totally out of proportion with it's surroundings i.e. a residential area near the historic Wells city centre. It will dominate the skyline for many nearby. The mast and associated cabinets will affect pedestrian safety further in an already notorious black spot. The mast will emit a forever increasing amount of radio waves; local residents are very worried about possible negative effects on their health, and it is thought that children and elderly are even more vulnerable to the effects. There are several schools in the area and the mast will be sited along the school routes. We also need clarification of possible effects of other associated electro-magnetic radiation on residents living near a mast. The mast will lead to major value loss of the properties in the neighbourhood especially the ones near to the actual site. Local residents argue that the planning application may be in breach with their human rights of enjoyment of their property, in particular because it is thought that there are more suitable alternative sites in non-residential areas, so the service can be provided if this is seen as absolutely necessary in the interest of the wider public. In addition the installation of the mast will totally remove the individual's choice to be able to avoid exposure to the signals.
