• Save The Potting Shed Project@Radstock
    The Potting Shed@Radstock is an important resource for local people who suffer with mental health and isolation issues. Closing the project will result in the loss of a valuable wellbeing project and a possible route into employment for people living in Radstock and the surrounding areas. Many people have benefited from the project. The community also benefits from the project. It makes no financial sense for the Trustees to charge the group rent and water charges to maintain the gardens voluntarily, as without the group they will need to pay a gardening contractor to do the same work. Without a Support Worker managing the project and encouraging people to attend the project is doomed to fail.

  • Keep Walkers at Peterlee open
    As the North East is one of the most unemployed areas in the country, an additional loss of around 400 jobs, on top of the jobs lost last year from steel works closures, would be a massive loss to the area and would also see a number of families left without an income.

  • Stop Josh & Sam from being evicted from their family home.
    Josh (21) and Sam (19) sadly lost their Mum just 3 months ago in November 2016. They are still suffering the trauma of this loss and are grieving but trying to keep going. A major part of the stability they have left is living in their family home full of memories of their mother and a sense of familiarity and comfort. Sovereign Housing Association has taken the decision to evict Josh and Sam. In addition Sovereign Housing Association has stated that they have no obligation or intention to rehouse the boys. This immoral and heartless decision threatens the emotional wellbeing of both Josh and Sam and could have a detrimental impact upon their capacity to try to rebuild their lives. Please help to urge Sovereign Housing Association to make an exception and allow Josh and Sam to stay in their family home. To Sovereign its just another house but to Josh and Sam its their home and its where they need to be.

  • Fund PIP properly and stop trying to save money on the backs of the disabled

  • Companion bus pass
    Other counties such as Nottinghamshire, Devonshire, East Sussex do pay for companion bus passes for carers of disabled people. They get grants for the government to do it. It is a discretionary thing not a mandatory. However, Lack of the findings for other counties is jeopardising people's independence as it is unfair and immoral for carers to having to pay to go on a bus with a disabled person.

  • Save Shipley Jobcentre
    Closing Shipley Jobcentre will impact on vulnerable local people and the local economy. Customers will be burdened with additional transport costs to access vital services, increasing poverty within the town. Closing the office will impact on the local economy as customers will be less likely to visit the town centre and spend money in local businesses. Supporters are also being asked to send in comments in response to the DWP consultation - which can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/proposal-for-the-future-of-shipley-jobcentre

  • Save the Corrib Pubs Community Rooms
    These rooms are a well-regarded facility in the area with a great future when used by the community. Many people have attended events at the Corrib Rest and recent attempts by local residents have tried to arrange activities. Pensioners now evicted from their weekly get togethers here have now had to use an unheated hall. Community facilities like this are far more important than 9 luxury flats. The petition was delivered to the planners and now we have the Committee hearing. On Weds 28th June at 7pm we want to try and get as many people as possible to attend the hearing to support the community rooms being kept. please attend if you can at Brent Civic Centre, Engineers Way, Wembley, HA9 0FJ. support is important so please help and attend if you feel strongly about loss of community spaces

  • Stop Job Centre Closures
    The DWP is planning to close 20 more job centres to try to reduce costs. This will create more problems for jobseekers, who are likely to be short of funds. If they can afford the fare, they will most likely to depend on public transport, which seems to be becoming less reliable. Surely then they will be more likely to be sanctioned, only increasing their difficulties. This government is supposed to be helping job seekers into jobs. Closing job centres is instead going to make life harder for many.

  • Reduce speed limit outside Haygrove school
    Currently the speed limit outside Haygrove School, Bridgwater is 30mph. I think it would be beneficial to change the speed limit to 20mph. This is a road that needs to be crossed by many students immediately after they leave school. Not only would this ensure students have a safe walk to and from school, it would encourage them to walk which has a positive impact on the environment. However, parents drop children off directly outside school which can become unsafe for other drivers and children.

  • Stop closure of Deerpark surgery
    There is no public transport to the other surgeries meaning elderly/disabled patients unable to attend unless prepared to pay £14 for a taxi. The other surgeries are already struggling with their list and finding GPs to fill positions. Right now it's 3-4 weeks wait for an appointment there which will only increase when 10,000 patients are added to their lists.
