  • Restore wardens to Sheltered housing units
    I live in a sheltered unit with no on site warden, we have a warden visit the unit once a week, we have had two residents die and left until friends or family came to check on them as no warden is checking on the welfare of the elderly and disabled, when we had a warden based here they were able to spot deteriations in residents as they knew them well, now we don't know when they are here and they do not know anyone personaly, it has also destroyed the community spirit with people just staying in their flat and not socialising

  • End Rough Sleeping and Homelessness in the UK
    Since 2010, the number of homeless people in the UK has doubled. In the last year alone, there has been a 10% rise in the amount of people accessing homeless services. The cuts to council funding is forcing their budgets on housing services to be slashed. Housing services and homeless organisations offer help to some of the country's most vulnerable people, yet the lack of funding has meant that temporary shelters, hostel beds and soup kitchens are having to close. The government must recognise that councils are struggling to cope with the demand. Recent cuts to housing benefit has put many young 18-to-21-year-olds at risk of becoming homeless, by denying them access to the private rental housing market. We are calling on the government to re-think funding cuts and make the necessary changes, and give local councils the support they need in order to offer lifelines to the most vulnerable people in our society.

  • End Homelessness in the UK
    130,000 people a year in England alone are asking for help regarding homelessness (Shelter, 2017). Homelessness is a matter of social injustice not just personal responsibility, everybody in Britain has a right to accommodation, it is not just a lack of shelter, it involves a deprivation over a number of dimensions, lack of physical and mental comfort, lack of privacy, lack of rootedness in the world and a lack of purpose in life (Somerville, 2013). Even in affordable social housing there is now an uncertainty in security, resulting in an increase in rough sleepers by 102% since 2010. The reason for homelessness is simple, not enough housing,not enough social housing, the ridiculous peak in house prices and the uncertainty of short hold tenancy in private sector housing. This needs to be stopped, we need to stop allowing housing associations and landlords putting vulnerable people out on the streets. Most of us are one wage slip away from being on the streets so help us today to change the lives of thousands of people. Sign today, save tomorrow.

  • Get rid of the 'Bedroom Tax' cut to Housing Benefits!
    These cuts are unfair and further disadvantage people who are in a position of need. Approximately 660,000 UK social housing residents have been impacted by the cuts (Fullfact, 2013). This has had significant negative impacts on lives across the UK, leaving thousands of people desperately struggling to pay rent and make ends meet. Hundreds of thousands of residents have gotten into rent arrears, resorted to food banks, and been kicked out of homes they have lived in their whole lives. This is drastically immoral and WRONG. Sign the petition to help us rid the unfair Bedroom Tax!

  • Lymington council – stop using glyphosates in our parks and open spaces
    Exposure to which has been linked to cancer in humans (World Health Organisation), and has led to degradation of ecosystems. Lymington Town Council are aware of this, yet are happy to use it until it's prohibited. Why wait? Many town councils across the UK have switched to a safer non-chemical alternative – it's time Lymington followed suit.

  • Limit the age to 18 for Snapchat users
    Our children are our legal responsibility until they reach the age of 18 and from my recent experience I know how much of a negative impact Snapchat can have on our children's lives! Many parents just assume it's silly filters and photos but in reality it's the perfect app for people who don't want to be monitored or for anyone to be able to see any trace of their conversation the disappearance of all communication is a huge red flag as we are unable to monitor what information our children are sharing with each other, not to mention the streaks which see our children obsessed with sending a snap every 24 hours to 100 odd of their friends and the whole world comes to an end if they loose the streak! How can we know what our children are getting up to if the evidence is deleted almost immediately i for one know how hard it is to get the truth out of a teenager who doesn't want her or her friends to get in to any trouble, parents need to educate themselves on what this app is actually doing to our children and sign this petition. Take a stand against cyber bullying and take responsibility of our children.

  • Make housing developers be transparent in Manchester
    Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths.
