Save the former Rapid building, LiverpoolIn light of recent losses to our cityscape it is vital that this parade of Edwardian shops which defines the character of the whole street should remain intact.1,804 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Dave Bridson

Stop the lights going out over GainsboroughIn the interest of safety and security we request that the switching out of lights in residential streets between midnight and 6 am be withdrawn and that LCC follow the example of Doncaster Borough Council by replacing lamps with energy efficient LED lights that will reduce electricity costs by 70% and reduce maintenance costs due to their long life (25 years compared with 6 years). Residents are very concerned that the creation of dark spaces in the town at night will encourage burglaries, anti-social behaviour and accidents. Do let us know of your concerns and any experiences you have related to the lights being out.1,253 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Barry Coward

Traffic PetitionIf these companies are allowed to follow through with these proposals then the entire way of life of the residents of Ardersier will change for ever. The high level and type of vehicle they want to use before and after construction will damage not only the roads but the 200 year old properties which are along this route. These properties need to be preserved not destroyed. Help us stop these companies from destroying our historical village.119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Bear

Excessive vehicle speeds around LyndhurstThese roads are constantly used by both vehicles and pedestrians and cyclists. Most drivers drive at a very high speed along these roads which the Parish Council feels could have a serious or fatal consequences There have been 2 fatalities in 2014 After many failed attempts to persuade the authorities to act and assist Lyndhurst Parish Council, we feel it's time to ask the public to support our cause to prevent anymore injuries or fatalities.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Suttichai Se-upara

No to Edinburgh Rugby at MyresideThis development of the stadium will fundamentally change the nature of our quiet residential area. Thousands of people will regularly be travelling to and parking in the area - Myreside, Merchiston, Craiglockhart, Shandon/Harrison Park and Morningside/Craighouse. These plans will result in: Very large volumes of traffic being brought into the surrounding area, with road safety being a concern. There is already heavy congestion in the vicinity during peak times and these plans will significantly increase problems on roads leading into and out of the area Parking in residential areas and private developments – Edinburgh Rugby estimates what we believe is a conservative 500 cars per match for the trial period. We believe the limited public transport in the area will result in many 100s of cars, minibuses and buses parking in surrounding areas - and those without resident parking permit restrictions will be most affected - as supporters follow their teams for across UK and Europe. Visual and environmental impact of a large stadium complex being built. Noise and litter problems, temporary food stalls and bars, anti-social behaviour.304 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Mark Coyne

Protect The Arts in The ArchesThe railway arches on John Street have housed independent arts based businesses for nearly 30 years. It has been a vibrant cultural space for the nurturing of grassroots talent in music, dance, theatre and various other arts. There are few other spaces in the city centre that have this kind of thriving arts community. Currently the arches are home to 3 independent businesses, The Cardiff Arches, Jukebox Collective and Only Drums Aloud. All 3 have been based at the arches for over 10 years. The Cardiff Arches rehearsal and recording studios provide a vital city centre resource for all Cardiff based musicians including young musicians who don’t have the transport or budget to travel to out-of-town studios. Jukebox Collective is a leading company for street dance education and performance in the UK and was recently awarded National Portfolio Organisation Status by Arts Council Wales. Only Drums Aloud has been providing award winning drum tuition to children and adults of all abilities for over 12 years at the arches, and as well as a samba band and group tuition it also double as a rehearsal space. A recent planning application for office blocks the land adjoining the railway arches is threatening their continued use as music and dance studios by restricting the access and parking that are currently available to users of the arches. We believe that some minor changes to the proposal will allow the redevelopment to go ahead whilst retaining access and parking for all 6 studios on the row therefore allowing the arts in the area to continue to flourish.3,119 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Tom Pinder

Everyone 4 SquashDear Squash Fan! We hope you can take a moment to sign our online 'e-petition' to help our squash courts in Scarborough. Four years ago we registered our interest to become part of the new Scarborough Leisure Village which is due to be completed in May 2017. The Council pledged to replace the existing facilities and 3 new glass back squash courts were centrally located in the plans. Today we face the threat of having no courts as the potential leisure service operators want a larger gym. So at this 11th hour the Council are wanting to change the original plans and completely remove the squash courts. This would leave us with no courts in the town centre and far too many gyms. Therefore we are starting this 'Everyone 4 Squash' campaign to secure the presence and long term success of squash in Scarborough fo our current players and generations to come. We would be grateful if you could show your support and by signing our petition and spreading the word to all fans of squash and other competitive sports. Many thanks for your support, 'Everyone 4 Squash' Scarborough Squash Players1,098 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jamie Gledhill

Cleaner air for all Londoners!Over 9,000 early deaths are caused by air pollution in London every year. There are areas in London that exceeded annual pollution limits just eight days into 2016. These pollution hotspots are on our high streets, by our children’s schools and where we work. We’re finding out more and more about how damaging air pollution is - not to just people with asthma, like myself, or other respiratory or even heart conditions, but to children whose lungs are smaller, whose growth is stunted, because of the dirty air they breathe. That’s why, despite living in Zone 3, I was shocked to discover that both of my children’s schools are in air pollution hotspots, where legal limits are regularly broken. Sadly, this is not unusual, as many primary schools are on roads with heavy traffic and this is the biggest source of air pollution in our city. Even more shockingly, under current plans by the UK Government, London won’t meet legal limits of air pollution until at least 2025 – 15 years after the original deadline. At the moment the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) will mean only the cleanest vehicles can enter central London from 2020. This is still, however, not enough to clean up all of London’s air even by 2025. That’s why Sadiq is looking at whether the ULEZ should be expanded to the North and South circulars. Yet, there are pollution hotspots outside of this area. So, the ULEZ needs to be expanded to cover the whole of Greater London to protect all Londoners. The UK Government has been taken to court for failing to protect us from air pollution and the previous Mayor did very little to clean up our air. While I welcome the considerable efforts that the new Mayor has taken, I encourage him to be bolder, braver and faster with action to address this crisis.1,290 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Bailey

Protect Cornwall from Diesel Power PlantsThe proposed plant sits within a cluster of fields just across the road from both an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) regions. There are two Bronze age barrows that are Scheduled Ancient Monuments and a third non-scheduled Iron Age round that are in close proximity. Concerns exist on both the visual impact on the beautiful countryside of National archaeological importance and the environmental impact this brings. http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MCO8831&resourceID=1020. We believe that the affect on this Archaeological site* will be profound. As such we think that the decision should lie in the Secretary of Sates hands. *Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 Section 61(9) Lets not set a detrimental precedence that allows the subsidies for burning Fossil Fuels and polluting an area heavily devoted to Green energy sources. Join us in opposing this inappropriate development.132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Julian Bass

WOODVALE: STOP THE ROTA redevelopment of Sandbrook Way in (Woodvale, Southport) has been promised again and again, only to have scheme after scheme flop. We still have a badly lit, down-at-heel, area around the shops, which attracts antisocial behaviour. One sticking point putting developers off is the fact that there are many interests and owners to relocate or agree to change. As a result the problem persists. It can be solved if the Council uses its powers and is willing, when there is deadlock, to compulsorily purchase property at the market rate. If they show they are willing to do this it will potentially encourage developers to take more interest. Those who are holding up development will have to sell. So far the Council has NOT been willing to use its muscle and as a result the area remains blighted. We do not run the council but we can put real pressure on by petitioning the Council to take action and use its compulsory' purchase powers. We need your help. Cllrs Lynne Thompson and Haydn Preece are also collecting hard copy signatures.119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Pat Regan

SAVE "POLZEATH PANCAKE SHACK" (mr surfys)We are a pancake shack, we are based on a cliff where there is no shop, food outlet of facilities for 1 mile. We provide a service for people local and tourists, serving drinks and hot food to take away, we are sensitive about the enviroment where we are, and we operate from an ECO cabin, which runs on wind power, we take our rubbish home and we use recyclables. We are only open during weekends and summer months, we close the shack and move it by the end of September. We have permission from the land owner at Atlantic terrace to say we can operate from the parking space, and also the highways agency, have no objections to us being there. We have been there at New Polzeath for 6 years now, and since the road closure with the Atlantic house hotel, we have considerably lost business. But we are still open for the public, as we are providing a service, and also we only use local suppliers.1,070 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Seahem Sodhi
