Protect our children from dirty air in BirminghamAs a parent, I am extremely concerned about the impact of dirty air on Birmingham children, including my own two sons. I urge everyone who cares about their children's health to sign my petition. Air pollution is a public health crisis, with illegal and harmful levels of air pollution across the UK. We need national and local government to act to clean up our air and make our towns and cities a healthier place to live for everyone but especially for babies and children. Air pollution affects us all, from when we are in the womb through to old age. It is linked to premature births and can stunt lung growth in children. Air pollution can trigger heart attacks and strokes, worsens asthma attacks and causes lung cancer. Babies, children and older people are more vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution. We need the Council, with the support of national government, to take urgent action to clean up our air to protect the health of children and babies.728 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Sandra Green

No. 17 bus serviceThe no. 17 bus is more than just a bus from A to B. It is a lifeline for many elderly people who live in the area, they use this bus service for companionship. When this bus is withdrawn many of these people will be left housebound; not able to walk to the local shops and not able to afford a taxi. St Marys hospital is expanding with more appointments being held there, with the new service cutting out a large portion of the route many people will be unable to get to the hospital, again too far for people to walk and taxis being far too expensive for OAPs to afford. It is not only the elderly this will affect, it will also affect the kids getting to school, students attending Portsmouth College, people getting to work. First Hroup are axing this service as too many old people enjoy this service.441 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Julie Kemp

Stop First Bus from carrying out devastating cuts to timetables in South WorcestershireMany people rely on these services to enable them to carry out every day tasks such as going to work, doing the shopping, attending medical appointments and meeting with friends & family. South Worcestershire is a largely rural area where public transport is limited and isolation a real risk. In addition to this an over reliance on car use is having a detrimental impact on air quality and health and well-being. These drastic cuts would be devastating.799 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Natalie McVey

Save Penny Pie ParkBarnsley Council are wanting to build a gyratory on Penny Pie Park in Pogmoor effectively turning the remaining park into a roundabout. The objections are: It’s a much loved and used green space by a variety of people from young children, teenagers, dog walkers, disabled, the elderly, people reading papers and everything in between. Obesity levels are on the rise and to take away one of the few large green spaces would be a detriment to the community. Children would end up on street corners or in their bedroom Both noise and air pollution would rise due to the felling of healthy trees We should be discouraging cars rather than creating ways to encourage them to come into town so improvements should be made to our public transport system The park is a lifesaver as the Yorkshire Air Ambulance lands on the park due to the hospital not having a helipad this is usually to support the Embrace service The park creates an income as the Scott Pullen & Son Fairground comes several times a year The park is maintained by a Community group who organise events throughout the year. They have been nominated and won awards including Pride of Barnsley. They have raised funds to provide a pathway, trees, shrubs and are still doing the good work. Tree sculptures have been created around the park incorporating a story/nature trail for the younger children.2,882 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Lyndsey Darren

Don't cut funding for children's school busesIn September Thetford Academy are cutting funding to Lewis Coaches so that they no longer run the bus service for our children to get to school. I have no other way of getting my 12 year old to and from school. And many other parents are in the same position. Please don't compromise the safety or education of our children.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Walton

Hourly Bus Service between Ascot and LegolandThe first bus to Windsor from North Street is 10.05 am, therefore people are unable to get to hospital appointments or their places of work. The last bus from Windsor to North Ascot is at 3.46 pm, therefore anyone working or going to late hospital appointments , or travelling from Slough is left stranded. This bus service has been changed to a 2-hour service, so anyone missing a bus has to wait for 2 hours.288 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Bruce Singleton

Sacked for attempting to take his legally upheld breakBecause it sets a dangerous precedent if companies are allowed to ignore UK and EU employment law and act in contempt of the Employment Appeals Tribunal in Croydon, which ruled the Working Time Directive in relation to the Rest breaks applied. Peter Lee was a loyal employee of Network Rail, he was employed as a signaller for a total of 44 years. He had an unblemished record. 44 years unblemished service wiped out for taking a 20 minute lawful break. Arundel Signalman sacked by Network Rail. Shame on Network Rail for denying their employee a lawful break. It is also a big safety issue because signallers need a break to make sure they can work safely.8,164 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Peter Lee

Save the 77 bus to John o' GroatsFrom 20 August the 77 from Wick is to terminate in Keiss. Three villages between there and John o' Groats will lose access to any public bus service. People will be unable to get to Gills Harbour via John o' Groats by bus to catch the independent ferries to Orkney. Not only tourists are affected; locals will no longer be able to get to work. Several people who work in the area will be compromised. Locals north of Keiss will be unable to attend medical appointments in Wick by direct bus link, or visit relatives in hospital or care homes there. Children will not be able to attend extra-curricular activities. Stagecoach maintain people will still be able to get to Wick from John o' Groats - they catch the Thurso service and change buses at Castletown. But this connection might only allow one return trip a day and will add hours to journey time. No one travelling on the X99 bus from Inverness to John o' Groats will be able to get off at Wick any more. They will have to go on to Thurso, which is a longer journey, and they will have to hope there is a bus to John o' Groats at the end of it. This will affect tourism, local businesses and local people. This part of Caithness is remote enough without the bus provider making it even more remote. Not everyone has a car or can drive. It will greatly affect the elderly and the disabled; vulnerable people.178 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carole Avalon

Traffic safety measures to be installed on Garratt Lane outside Floreat School, WandsworthMotorists drive very fast along Garratt lane and it is very challenging and dangerous to cross this road with young children. It is not uncommon to wait for 5 minutes to cross and there have been several near misses. It is only a matter of time until something terrible happens.473 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Chris Nicholson
