People on ESA universal credit and disability benefits need a fair increase not a mere 30pence .

James Pember from Caerphilly is a fantastic intelligent young person who is the most kind thoughtful and funny boy I've ever met. His approachable and empathetic personality always puts everyone at ease and anyone who ever meets him thinks the world of him. He definitely deserves more praise for how much he is there for others but he doesn't always appreciate himself. This petition is to show him that we all care, and to encourage the Welsh Government to provide recognition of James in whatever way possible. Let's bring him to public prominence for his kindness!

The lanes and roads of the adjoined villages are dangerous for pedestrians and school children as there are few pavements and little street lighting. The Primary school is situated on a narrow lane between the two villages and due to the lack of pavements, people, prams and mobility aides all have to use the roads. Reducing the speed limit to 20mph will make the villages safer for everyone.

Because we play a vital role in the care of a loved one like me who cares about my wife who has cerebral palsy and epilepsy

It is unacceptable and cruel to make the millions of self-employed wait months for a fourth SEISS grant that may or may not be even at the 80% trading profits of those whom own their own businesses. Whilst billions of pounds are given to the economy by the self-employed, annually we are not being financially supported enough during the pandemic and the length of time between payments is unrealistically long for most families. This is causing undue suffering and worry and is wholly unacceptable, especially to those who are unable to access benefits.

Because if they are taught this at this age it could help them actually experiencing it

It’s almost impossible to believe, but once again the government has opened up a new free school meals fiasco. Headteachers in England have been told not to provide free school meals for the children who need them over the half-term holiday next month. Instead they want councils to trial a new scheme especially for half term, which creates huge confusion and risks leaving children hungry. Children can’t learn on empty stomachs. Huge public pressure has meant that the government has already U-turned on their decision not to provide free school meals vouchers during the holidays. And just yesterday they U-turned on their decision to send out inadequate food parcels, and instead agreed to send out vouchers in term time again. If thousands of us sign this petition, it could be enough to force them to do the right thing again.

A lot of people who work in hospitatlity , events , music and related services have been unable to work properly since March 2020 and a lot are ineligable for furlough payments and grants. This is causing a great many people to struggle with bills through no fault of their own.

The government has replaced free school meals vouchers with food parcels, which are being provided by a private company. Parents are posting pictures all over social media of the shocking contents in these parcels and the ingredients provided are worth only a fraction of the original £30 free school meals voucher. This is a massive disrespect to families across the country and to parents trying to feed their children at home. Back in November, parents up and down the country told the government about the struggle to feed their children throughout this pandemic. But families with children feel like they’re back to square one again. This is unacceptable. A petition signed by thousands of people like you and me would send a clear message to the government: free school meal vouchers cannot be replaced with food parcels.

This was a huge help to many in the first lockdown but hasn't been repeated. The pandemic is worse than it was at the start and it makes sense to do it again now, so that these members of society can feel safe while they shop. While some people might argue that these groups shouldn't be going anywhere, the reality is that some still must because they're unable to get delivery slots or someone to help them. This might be the only outing older members of society have in a week to combat loneliness and keep their last bit of independence. Also, NHS staff are exhausted and burnt out so it would be great to help them out again by giving them some space to get their shopping done more peacefully.

Don’t leave this to the goodwill of Priti Patel. Offering a cereal bar to a lorry driver that has been stuck on the M20 for 2 nights is an embarrassment and an outrage. Basic welfare provision should be provided for any worker irrespective of the job you do.

Keeping more stores open is increasing the risk of infection rates and allowing this new, higher-risk mutation of COVID-19 to spread quicker. Hardware stores were never classed as essential during the March lockdown and thus should remain that way. I am pretty sure the public can survive the Coronavirus without Christmas Lights, Dinner Plates or Bathroom Mirrors. Food however is your main concern and should be limited to these stores only. Unless of course, the government is willing to put money situations over people's lives.
