Stop Speed in ShottonOne life lost is too many and the people of Shotton want to let the irresponsible speeders know that enough is enough. Pedestrians and other road users need to feel safe in Shotton and the only way to stop speeding is to slow the irresponsible drivers down before another life is lost.293 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Susan McDonnell

Pedestrian Hazards in AldeburghWith the high proportion of elderly and/or infirm residents, added to the increasing population of mothers with baby carriages, the condition of the pavements in the Leiston Road and Victoria Road areas are extremely poor and liable to cause trips, falls and damage to persons and personal property. In particular the pavement on the east side of Leiston Road from The Drift to Mariners Way and on the south side of Victoria Road from the entrance to Kings field to the junction with Park Road, at the library, are main routes to both the supermarkets, and the town centre for residents of the Plantation estate, especially the supported bungalows.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MICHAEL FISHLOCK

Rural Safe School Routes RSSR (Glenavy)This area has become increasingly populated with young families and children. Our children are forced to walk, cross and attempt to make school Transportation in a highly dangerous and om some of the most dangerous pedestrian areas in N.I. There are cars speeding up to 80mph on these roads, and the village doesn't contain one safe passage way for a child. Children are walking and crossing on blind bend's, nonpaved roads and blind spots upro a horrendous 8 times per day with out so much as a pedestrian crossing yet still expected to reach there school transportation in the village Main Street safely. This is particularly unfair for disadvantaged families who have no transportation, are disabled or have disabled children. I wish to raise awareness around my child making it to school everyday alive and that ofnorhers or a safer alternative put in place.as a temporary measure immediately.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by DEBORAH MCGARRITY

Save Salisbury's Wildflower MeadowThe building of a three-story GP surgery is being proposed to replace three of the four surgeries in Salisbury, with the favoured location situated south of Lime Kiln Way to the west of Odstock Road, grid reference SU145282. Just three years ago the proposed site was designated a County Wildlife Site, and it supports a large population of wildflowers, insects, and birds. This site is of great importance not just because of its beauty and the luxury of having a patch of natural meadow on Salisbury’s doorstep, but also due to the sad fact that in the last 70 years Britain has lost 97% of its wildflower population[1]. Even if you do not have a particularly strong feeling towards wildflowers, you must appreciate the sheer importance of having a site like this to support insects and the birds that depend on them. Other options for the site’s location include the now-empty Friends Provident buildings in Castle Street, and the agricultural field directly opposite the proposed site, to the east of Odstock road. In total there are 17 proposed sites, with Lime Kiln Way being preferred presumably because it is cheaper to build on as it is owned by the Council. This proposed site will inevitably lead to increased traffic at the already highly-congested Harnham interchange, which would in turn lead to difficulties getting ambulances to and from Salisbury District Hospital as residents would need to get buses or taxis to get there. Though we all understand the need for a new surgery in Salisbury, our argument is that the currently-favoured site is not suitable. As a local resident I have seen many oil beetles there (three of the UK’s native oil beetles are extinct, and the remaining five species are on the decline[2]), among the numerous species of wildflowers, and the Red Bartsia Bee is also a resident to the site. The land surrounding the site supports breeding birds such as the curlew, lapwing, snipe, redshank, and turtle doves. This is a small, precious refuge of natural green space that is incredibly rare to find in a city – especially one undergoing concentrated housing development like Salisbury. On behalf of my fellow residents in Harvard Heights and East Harnham (both areas share boundaries to the Lime Kiln Way site), I implore Salisbury City Council and local MP John Glen to look more closely into more suitable, alternative locations, and preserve the rare habitat that we can still enjoy in Salisbury. The Lime Kiln Way site offers a sanctuary for flora and fauna to thrive in an area left largely undisturbed by human activity, and future generations will be thankful for us having protected it. Thank you for taking the time to consider this petition.

Reject the application to demolish the Citadel at Pearl Street/Splott Road Cardiff.The Citadel building is of historical significance. The plans to demolish it without any notification of what will replace the site is not acceptable. Potential developers should meet and consult with the community, to discuss their wishes for the building, before any action is taken.112 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Owen Jones

OPPOSE THE 1 HOUR PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN TICKHILLWe feel the proposed restrictions are a threat to local 'non convenience' businesses who offer leisure activities with a longer stay time than the one hour proposed limit. Our local salons, coffee shops, restaurants, clothes shops, bars and other shopping outlets fear, that the restricted parking would deter visitors from spending time using a number of facilities in the village; causing the local economy to suffer as a result. We do feel that the parking congestion in the village needs to be addressed, but do not feel that this is the answer. Please support us in our campaign to put a stop to the proposed restrictions BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY 8 NOVEMBER 2016, and keep Tickhill the eclectic place that visitors love to spend time in.437 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Lindsey Jones

Exeter Fire - Rebuild Our HeritageLike me, the people of Exeter and Devon were devastated to watch the recent destruction by fire of the beautiful and historically significant buildings on Cathedral Green - including the Clarence Hotel, the first true hotel in England. The reconstruction of these buildings must follow the same restorative approach taken at Windsor Castle following the fire there some years ago. Sympathetic reconstruction of both internal and external fabric is the only appropriate path to follow; one that will not damage the heritage and aesthetic value of this historically important area. We must not make the same mistakes made after World War 2, when much of Exeter's surviving heritage was destroyed in a fit of modernist madness. This is not just about restoring beauty, this is also about valuing the contribution of heritage to the economic and social life of the city and the wider county. In their recent 'Heritage Counts' report, Historic England explain the link between economy and heritage. I urge you to read the linked document and support this petition: https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/heritage-and-the-economy/heritage-and-the-economy-2016.pdf/ Photo by By Pymouss - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=449372414,290 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Ian Carr

Save the Paterson family from evictionJohn Paterson and his brother have been farmers on the Isle of Arran for more than 20 years. They provide more than just produce to feed the economy and jobs so that local families may thrive, but they are a social hub and a part of Scottish heritage. Working farmland is not just important to the families that live and work there, but to the entire community. They now face eviction because of poorly written legislation, allowing landlords to take back land promised to tenant farming families, forcing the tenants onto the streets with no compensation, nowhere to go, with nothing, completely alone. When Andrew Stoddart, a tenant farmer in East Lothian, was faced with a similar eviction last year, 38 Degrees members came together to demand that the Scottish Government step in. 20,000 of us put our names to it, and together we forced the Government to intervene and make sure Andrew Stoddart got a better deal. We are calling on the Scottish Government to step in here too.26,415 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by John Estlick
