Save Beehive Cottage, FerringSAVE ENGLISH HERITAGE. FERRING is a beautiful village on the Sussex Coast and this cottage is a landmark. Named Beehive Cottage for it's unique shape. The Government is forcing councils to build so many properties that we are in danger of losing history. Most of the new housing built in surrounding areas has yet to be sold. Councils are not building to meet the needs of people who need social housing and a lack of planning to increase infrastructure has put great strain on roads, transport, GP Surgeries, Hospitals, Schools etc. Read more here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-33835631160 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nathanya Deakin

Don’t make a dustbin out of Clapton E5I live on a quiet residential estate literally right next to the proposed site. Thousands of people live in this area adjacent to the site. We all deserve a better quality of life than to live next door to a waste dump. Our community would suffer significantly reduced quality of life because of 24/7 noise from trucks, foul smells, debris and litter from escaped trash, increased vermin, pollutants from dust and emissions. Our residential area has a very high percentage of young children. They play outside in a quiet street and in a playground and grassy area. There is a local primary school across the street. Local children would be in constant danger from tipper trucks and lorries coming and going right next to the school entrance and residents’ children at play. We will lose our GP surgery, chemist, supermarket, and bus route. These amenities were purposefully added by Hackney Council while the residential area was being built, and now the Council wants to take these amenities away and replace with can crushing machines and incinerators! Here is the Draft Plan map and details for Theydon Road area from the North London Waste Authority website. http://www.nlwp.net/downloads/consultation2015/1-7_Draft_Plan/Appendix_2_Hackney_site_and_areas.pdf Please add your support to stop this happening! Our residential area is a diverse multi-racial, multi-cultural mix by design. Many residents are vulnerable due to language barriers, because they are small children, or have health issues. They are not able to be vocal and contest this plan to process waste on their doorstep. Please give them your support and your voice!998 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Susan Downing

Save Brimhay's Woodland Home to Endangered Bats and DormiceThese are highly endangered species and are protected by laws. This wooded valley is a beautiful area and highly valued my hundreds of people in Dartington. It needs protection, not destroying. An alternative community led proposal for housing is available, so destroying the wooded habitat is only for greed not need.391 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Alan White

Save our open public spaces - Lambeth CouncilLambeth Council has given notice to dispose of public open space given to them by the Greater London Council in the 1980s. This land has been leased to Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB) with the specific condition that it will remain free public open space for everybody to enjoy without long term commercial development. However the Garden Bridge Trust (GBT) needs this land in order to build a commercial building and CSCB wish to change the terms of their lease to allow this to happen. This completely goes against the core principles of community values fought for - by CSCB. We must not let our open public GREEN space be taken over by private developers. The Thames is London's largest area of central open space, its largest nature conservation area, and its greatest natural feature. Its openness is under threat as there are plans to put a Garden Bridge in the busiest tourist part of London, from Temple Tube Station to the South Bank, at a cost of £175 million. At least £60 million of this will be public money which is utterly iniquitous in these times of great austerity!435 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Quigley

Save The Kensington Odeon from demolitionWe risk losing a magnificent iconic community venue. Kensington does not need any more empty luxury flats being bought up by foreign investors. Hear from the leaders of this campaign just how they feel about the imminent closure. http://youtu.be/czyi8SvcHto With the largest screen in London, a beautiful Art Deco exterior, stunning marble staircases (see end of video) and a mosaic floor in the foyer as the best cinema in London for premieres (already this year it has hosted Sir Ian McKellen in Mr Holmes and Sir Alan Rickman and Dame Kate Winslet in A Little Chaos), special events or just the best family night out! Sir Ian McKellen just interrupted his enjoyment of a Mahler prom at the Royal Albert Hall to sign this petition as he feels so strongly about it! When we went to hand in the petition on Thursday 27th August at 4pm at DCMS, we were very disappointed that minister John Whittingdale was unable to meet us. So we plan to visit Greg Clark at DCLG next week once we have invited all the public figures who have been kind enough to sign our petition (and found which day suits them best), including man of the moment Benedict Cumberbatch and his parents, actor Timothy Cumberbatch & actress Wanda Ventham, those knights of the theatre & film Sir Ian McKellen (Gandalf signed at the Royal Albert Hall during Mahler 6), Sir John Hurt (I first saw Alien at the Kensington Odeon), Sir Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard to you), two different Doctor Whos, Colin Baker & Sylvester McCoy, three members of the Star Wars cast, namely Darth Vader himself, Dave Prowse, Kenny Baker (R2D2) & Jeremy Bullock (Bobba Fett), not to mention the two greatest guitarists in the world, Jimmy Page of legendary 70s British rockers Led Zeppelin, http://pic.twitter.com/qiXF2fJesQ who wrote a letter to the council & posed for a selfie with campaigner & film director/composer Paul Wiffen outside the Odeon last weekend when he came down especially to sign the petition & astronomer http://pic.twitter.com/BPVKvUid1n Dr Brian May of Queen (who featured it on his Soapbox and Twitter feed) both of whom live close enough to walk to watch films at the Odeon, Brian's wife Anita Dobson of Eastenders' fame, supermodel Elle Macpherson (and supermum) who brings her kids to the Odeon regularly (as did the People's Princess Diana with Wills and Harry, of course), Jeremy Clarkson's big crush Kirsten Scott-Thomas, Narnia's White Queen Tilda Swinton, fashion designer Bella Freud and father and son combination James and Jack Fox and last but not least Richard "Four Weddings" Curtiss who gave a magnificent headline quote to the Evening Standard on hearing that it was to be demolished, "London will be a lot less fun without the Kensington Odeon!" http://twitter.com/wiffen/status/635260713435574272/photo/1 Benedict Cumberbatch & his parents have been part of this campaign since 2011 as has the now MP for Kensington & Chelsea, former Deputy London Mayor, Victoria Borwick aka the Lady Borwick! I shall return here to inform you who has accepted our invitation. I am also inviting the Evening Standard (who have been marvellous) and their brand new TV channel London Live (who have interviewed me live on air and outside the Odeon), the Independent (also good), the BBC London news team (who have been absolutely appalling and didn't even mention the Kensington Odeon in a piece on old cinemas under threat on their website recently), the much better ITV London Tonight (who covered our Batmobile march from the Odeon to Kensington Town Hall) and the national press (who have been even worse than the BBC in covering this) to witness the press conference before we go in and the news when we come out (I shall be demanding the announcement of a public enquiry there and then as The Odeon is now screening its last film on August 31st!). I'd like to invite all of you wonderful people who have signed this petition to join us next week outside DCLG in Mar too! Please sign now to Save The Kensington Odeon for all Londoners to enjoy for another 90years. **This petition total includes 20,000 people who have signed a physical petition to 'Save the Odeon Kensington'**27,526 of 30,000 SignaturesCreated by Caroline McLean

Celebrate Suffragettes not serial killersA new museum gained planning permission by promising ‘the only dedicated resource in the East End to women’s history’, but has now been unveiled as a venue dedicated to the violent crimes of Jack the Ripper Originally billed as a celebration of East London women and the suffragettes this museum now celebrates the life of the serial killer who viciously murdered women across London's East End, from 1888 and 1891. The original application for the museum said: “The museum will recognise and celebrate the women of the East End who have shaped history, telling the story of how they have been instrumental in changing society. It will analyse the social, political and domestic experience from the Victorian period to the present day.” The document cited the closure of the local Whitechapel’s Women’s Library in 2013 to stress that the “Museum of Women’s History”, as it was billed, would be “the only dedicated resource in the East End to women’s history”. Now we are faced with a museum that celebrates gory violence against women. The founder (a former Head of Diversity at Google) claims "It is not celebrating the crimes of Jack the Ripper but looking at why and how the women got in that situation in the first place”. This victim blaming attitude is unacceptable and cannot be condoned. Shut this museum down now.14,331 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Becky Warnock

SAFETY AT FIVEWAYS MILDENHALL SUFFOLK - A11Now that the Dual Carriageway has been completed we are experiencing an increased capacity in traffic volumes, this has therefore impacted on the Fiveways Roundabout at Barton Mills Mildenhall Suffolk. Residents of Mildenhall and other regular users of this Roundabout are seriously concerned about motorists safety due to the volumes of traffic that are now accessing the A11. There are several concerning issues surrounding this as follows:- A Traffic leaving Mildenhall queue excessively at peak times when approaching Fiveways Roundabout (this can tail back past The Hungry Horse Public House - Half Moon mini Roundabout) as motorists struggle to exit as the approaching traffic coming from Newmarket has increased dramatically and flows very fast B Traffic approaching from Thetford direction wishing to exit at Mildenhall Junction find the lanes are not easy to follow also the volumes wishing to continue in the Newmarket direction, plus the additional motorists that have managed to join from Mildenhall and Brandon Junctions, have increased and this is causing accidents to occur. C The addition of McDonalds and other retail units including a garage forecourt and car wash are only going to impact further around the Mildenhall Junction, when opened shortly, causing even more excessive pressure on this road and the Fiveways Roundabout, which in turn will probably cause even more accidents and congestion. D We have had concerns raised by local businesses and National Companies regarding time schedules due to current tail backs - this is only going to get worse at weekends during the summer months when holiday makers using this road will also make an impact causing further delays.. E The majority of people local to Fiveways Roundabout Barton Mills and other regular users have stated that they would like to see Traffic Lights at the Roundabout and or a Flyover, these improvements would ease traffic congestion and help accessibility for all motorists which in turn would reduce the risks of accidents happening by people taking "chances" on Fiveways Roundabout. F. There is also the issue with the joining onto the A11 heading Newmarket Direction from the Tuddenham Road Junction motorists are queuing and those that want to go to Barton Mills, who have to cross over the A11 are causing problems when tailback joins onto the fast lane of the A11 - this could cause a massive accident if someone approaching cannot switch lanes in time due to traffic volumes and an impact occurs this could in turn cause a concertina type impact and all queuing traffic could be affected this is causing concern already when traffic volumes are yet to increase in the summer months. These are the initial points that have been raised, obviously there will be impacts on the ambulance, fire, police, air ambulance services which could be minimized if improvements are carried out hopefully in the manner suggested. It is unreasonable to suggest, as has been made, that we will have to wait for volumes of traffic to increase further before traffic lights would be installed, thereby running the risks of loss of lives before something is done. The amount of money that would be needed to make these improvements should have been made available when the A11 was made a dual carriageway. To suggest that it will be considered when the traffic volumes increase is an insult to our intelligence, as surely this was whole point of the alterations to this road, and it will cost far more to do in five, ten, fifteen years and how many lives may have been lost in that time?2,480 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Louise Foreman

Save Woodside CopseWoodside Copse is a precious wildlife sanctuary. Untouched for 50 years, it is home to many species of birds and animals. It adds to the biodiversity of the area and forms part of a vital green corridor. Designated a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, it is under threat following Haringey's decision on 6 July to allow the site to be developed. There is an alternative. The development could be put on the applicant's own site nearby, which would take up only a small portion of its site.626 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Isabel Popper

Please keep public toilets in BroxtoweAre you aware that the public toilets in the new Beeston transport Interchange are temporarily closed, and that Broxtowe Borough Council is reviewing the provision of public toilets in Eastwood, Stapleford, Kimberley, Broadgate and Beeston? One possible outcome of this review is that there may be no public toilets across the Borough as a means of saving money. Local residents, shoppers, travellers and visitors to the Borough, need access to appropriate public toilets in the right location and should not have to rely on private provision. The tram is bringing more people into the Borough and they need access to public toilets.880 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Robinson
