Tens of thousands of children have used and played on the facilities at Kidzmania for generations. If it were to be lost, there is nowhere in the immediate vicinity that parents can take their children to play safely and securely. It is a venue open to all children, irrespective of their age and encourages them to play together. It is a focus point for the community in Hackney. A place where mums can get together, where contact visits can be arranged when there are issues between parents, where children with special needs can be accommodated. Hundreds of children celebrate their birthday parties there every year. http://www.kidzmania.co.uk/Kidzmania/Opening_Times_files/shapeimage_2.png While everyone accepts that new housing must be created, there are plenty of vacant or derelict properties. There should be no need to choose a site that already has an existing use, and is used by so many. It is wrong to deprive thousands and thousands of children just for the sake of 25 flats. It is too high a price to pay, and the community of Hackney should not stand for it. Please sign our petition to say to the Planning Committee of the London Borough of Hackney and to the proposed developer (identity as yet withheld) that the Community puts children before profit

St Erth is a characterful, one pub, one shop small village and cannot cope with any further development. With this new development By 3MS Construction on Green lane off Church street, St Erth is now developed to capacity. The ancient bridge over the River Hayle on Tredrea lane will be damaged by construction traffic. Traffic egress from St Erth is difficult, very difficult at busy times. The small village roads are not suitable for heavy/large vehicles. We must stop St Erth becoming another urban sprawl.

The construction of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR) from Postwick to Norwich Airport will cost over £133 million, with UK taxpayers funding £88 million via the Department for Transport. However local councils intend to spend at least a further £45 million of Norfolk taxpayers’ money to extend the road by 4 miles to the A1067 - a double-whammy for Norfolk residents. This at a time when budgets for the emergency services, health and social care, libraries, museums and education are being slashed. This is socially, financially and environmentally reckless. Please sign this petition to urge the council to put people before roads.

If we do not prevent this contamination even the rich will become impoverished! No Barry Ash Dump - Stop the Incinerator Ash 'Facility' in Barry Town! We’re challenging Council approval of a plan to bring Cardiff’s incinerator ash to Barry -75000 tonnes per year on unused dockland close to homes and businesses. They would not simply dump the ash but extract metals, then aerate the ash in open-air heaps and grade the matured ash into building aggregate. Not only are these operations very dusty, but the dust is toxic, with lead, cadmium etc. The strong winds across the open site will carry scarcely visible toxic dust particles to many residential areas around the Dock and into the town center. Other incinerator ash sites are in rural locations, far from housing. Our community is the first to have it imposed on us. The regulators are concerned about harm to bio-conservation, but not about humans! Our lawyers are up to challenging this precedent that would dismiss the special health hazards and toxic nature of incinerator dust. The Vale of Glamorgan Council had to check risks to health, but failed to do so. They had asked Public Health Wales for their view on incomplete materials. A non-reply was used as excuse for ignoring risks to health of inhaling and ingesting the incinerator. Infants are especially vulnerable, being more sensitive to toxic metals and ingesting via. finger-licking. This crassly ignorant, almost criminal decision by the planning committee on 3rd Sept. 2015 can only be quashed by Court Order. Leading environmental lawyers Richard Buxton have lodged a case on our behalf. As well as part funding under Legal Aid, the community has to raise funds several £1000s towards it.

My mother shopped at Stockport Market and I along with thousands of others have done so all my life. SMBC's policies over the last few years have had a negative affect on the market, particularly since the renovation of the market hall which allowed fewer stalls to operate. It feels that this has been a deliberate policy to run the market down. The market provides a low cost, high quality environment for people to shop. There are three good quality grocers, the only independent butcher, apart from Titterton's, in the town, an excellent independent bakers and again, the only independent delicatessen in the town. There is the only independent haberdashers alongside an ironmongers, stalls selling books, clothes, curtains, bedding - all of them independent. Stockport town centre is a heartless shrine to big name consumerism. The Market is a refreshing alternative to this and deserves to be cherished and nurtured, not have the heart ripped out of it.

Free open space is important for everyone, for town dwellers and those living outside towns. The Green Belt provides that free open space between built up areas. Surrey has areas of outstanding natural beauty which will be destroyed by excessive development around towns that will happen if Green Belt land is released for housebuilding

Tesco's huge delivery trucks repeatedly break the law on a daily basis. This forces traffic onto the wrong side of the road endangering other drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. It also causes congestion slowing down and hindering emergency vehicles and public transport (buses). Camden Council's current policy of fining the company is simply not credible nor is it effective and action needs to be taken to ensure Tesco HGVs are no longer a serious risk or hinderance to the lives of citizens.

Oil & gas companies are looking to explore for more fossil fuels within Mole Valley even though Climate Change scientists and most world powers demand that we move away from our dependency on them to renewables. To be looking for more fossil fuels at a time when we have already found over 5 times more fuel than we can potentially use is utter madness and criminal.

Golborne Road is one of the few remaining authentic markets in West London. You can still get a bargain antique, a good piece of vintage and a tasty meal from the food stalls and cafes. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea wants to gentrify it by widening the pavements and adding a complicated drainage system. A long period of disruption will harm people's livelihoods and could change the area forever. All of us love this unique place for its friendliness and sense of community. We refuse to see this spirit replaced with chain stores and expensive boutiques. If you want to save Golborne Road as we know it, please sign this petition.

Victoria Embankment Nottingham is "not for profit land" has been given to the Citizens of Nottingham and the Locality (and visitors from further afield) for their mental and physical health & well-being, somewhere to escape all the pressures of life, including time and financial pressures. This Breathing Space should remain an oasis of unpressurised serenity. Despite some cars abusing the facility there is still plenty of space for Park Users to park up free and enjoy the simple Green Spaces. This highly protected Covenanted Land, all Gifted to the City, must be preserved from becoming another Income Generating Scheme.

Since the opening of McDonald's large numbers of children and the public are risking their lives crossing the road to get to McDonald's from Mildenhall by foot or bike. It is widely known children do not have the ability to judge car speed and hence this situation is serious. The road is extremely busy and dangerous with traffic exiting the roundabout at speed and there is a real and true danger of a fatality due to this. .

In the last couple of years, through no fault of my own, l became homeless. I am one of the lucky ones in the sense that l have a piece of land. I moved onto it because l had nowhere else to go. During the last 18 months l have been threatened with eviction, surveillance and have suffered abusive and intimidating behaviour from the enforcement officer involved. Plus complaints from various people who, not only have all they need, but also did not even bother to find out anything about me or my situation. Although l have now been given a council bedsit this is shocking and absurd. Someone else who really needed it could have benefited from it if l had been allowed to stay on my field. I am not disturbing anyone and my shepherds hut cannot be seen as it is tucked away behind trees. We have a huge housing problem in this country and the number of homeless people is escalating out of control. While l fully appreciate that, as the housing officer said 'we cannot have the countryside littered with caravans' (who said anything about caravans??), the countryside is already 'littered' with some truly monstrous buildings and, of course if it suits the council they will grant planning for anything. If the planning laws were relaxed and councils worked WITH people instead of AGAINST them, this 'littering' should and can be avoided. Planning restrictions have now been lifted for agricultural barns, but this has meant such an increase in price that most people can't afford to buy them. Once again it is the few rich elite who can. I know many people who want to live on their own piece of land but are unable to do so. This doesn't mean to say that they are unwilling to pay their council tax, as some people are so quick to judge that they are; they are 'normal', resourceful people just wanting a slightly different way of life. What's so wrong with that? Please sign this petition to lobby Brandon Lewis and his colleagues to change planning law to allow people to live on a piece of land if they choose to do so. Thank you.
