This guidance is out dated, legally questionable and deeply traumatising to individuals experiencing losses. The surveillance and accusations aimed at grieving women and birthing people is a gross betrayal of public trust, lacks empathy, substance, justification, and needs amending. It is deeply rooted in patriarchal views and reinforces worrying views around policing female bodies. We petition for the NPCC to review and amend the guidance with urgency.

Peers who break the rules get to keep their titles and return to the House of Lords to make our laws. They may serve a suspension, but then simply walk back in. This includes peers found guilty of bullying, inappropriate lobbying, and other serious breaches of the Code of Conduct. Meanwhile, MPs who commit serious breaches of the rules have to resign or face being chucked out by the voters in a by-election. We think peers should be banned for good if found guilty of serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.  Those who break the rules should NOT have the power to make our laws.    Sign the petition today to send the Lords Conduct Committee a clear message: if you seriously break the rules, you lose your seat. No exceptions.

Because the current tax burden is hindering the growth of small businesses and therefore hindering economic growth.

We are deeply concerned that this residential area, currently subject to the national speed limit of 60mph, has been excluded from the initiative—despite lacking pavement provision and being home to families, children, and elderly individuals. In contrast, we note that the Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, which contains no residential properties and is also in a 60mph zone, has been selected for a 20mph limit. This disparity is both unfair and unsafe. We believe our road clearly meets the intention of the national strategy to protect communities with higher footfall and residential activity.

Chyngton Primary School has grown significantly over the decades and now has a roll of nearly 400 pupils. Over the same period the number of children being driven to school has also risen dramatically according to government figures. As a result, the residential roads around the school have become increasingly congested and dangerous at school drop-off and pick-up times. Existing safety provisions such as zig-zag lines and the voluntary one-way system are difficult to enforce and ineffective. Children are at risk crossing the roads near the school, this means fewer children are walking to school, and more come by car, even for short journeys, exacerbating the problem. Access for emergency vehicles is severely impeded, and local residents frequently have access and driveways blocked by inconsiderate parking. More needs to be done to keep the children, parents and public safe around Chyngton school.

More research needs to be done to establish: -The reason for the return of bluefin tuna to Channel Island waters and whether warming sea temperatures have forced them to relocate here to find prey -The true extent of current bluefin tuna stock in UK waters

The Bath House is more than just a local issue, it’s a symbol of what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead. At a time when public spaces are disappearing and decisions are made behind closed doors, The Bath House shows that another way is not only possible, it’s already working. People should join this campaign because if we allow this space to be taken away, we send a message that community-led, inclusive, and self-sustaining projects don’t matter, even when they succeed. Standing up for The Bath House is standing up for fairness, for transparency, and for a future where people, not just profits, shape our cities and the world we live in.

An amendment in Parliament could finally bring the rest of the UK in line with Northern Ireland – making abortion access a human right and protecting women from prosecution for having one. It’s a common-sense step that would stop future attacks on womens' rights before they happen. And it can’t happen a moment too soon. This week Nigel Farage called our current abortion access “utterly ludicrous” -  he's joining forces with a wider movement inspired by Trump’s crackdown on women in the US. From attacks on abortion buffer zones by Vice President J D Vance to attempts to roll back care, there’s a real danger that what’s happening in the US could happen here. This is our chance to move forwards – not backwards. MPs need to see that the public backs this change. Add your name now!

Fixing bikes in a garage shouldn’t be treated like a crime — especially when we’re helping people travel sustainably, affordably, and safely. Our small local project, Spokey Dokey, is facing a planning enforcement warning from the council for doing just that: repairing bikes in a residential garage. It’s being labelled a “change of use” — as if we’re running a factory, not helping neighbours keep their bikes on the road. This doesn’t just affect us. It sets a worrying precedent for anyone trying to do good in their community — whether that’s fixing bikes, running a tool library, or creating local solutions where the system is falling short. By signing this petition, you're saying: • Communities shouldn’t be punished for stepping up. • Councils must support, not stifle, active travel and repair culture. • Common sense should guide planning — not bureaucracy that blocks climate and wellbeing goals. If we stay silent, this kind of enforcement could quietly kill off the very projects our towns and cities need. 🛠️ Help us push back. Sign and share.

New data from the High Pay Centre shows that the median FTSE 100 CEO now earns £4.58 million a year – 122 times more than the typical UK worker, with some, like Tesco’s CEO, paid 431 times more than their median employee. Pay at the top has reached record levels for the third year running, while most employees see little growth in their wages. This extreme pay gap is unfair, widely unpopular, and damaging to our economy and society.  This proposal builds on our earlier pay ratios research and offers a simple, evidence-based step to tackle extreme inequality and promote a fairer economy. The pay gap between CEOs and their employees has spiralled out of control. In 2023/24, 18% of FTSE 350 companies reported a CEO-to-median employee pay ratio of over 100:1, while 5% reported ratios over 200:1. Incredibly, some CEOs earned more than 600 times their workers. But polling by the High Pay Centre and Survation shows that 63% of people believe CEOs should not earn more than 10 times their low- and mid-level employees. This reveals a stark gap between public expectations and reality. CEO-to-worker pay ratios are published, but this has not reduced the gaps. High Pay Centre analysis shows pay ratios have remained largely unchanged over five years. Research shows that the UK has some of the worst levels of income inequality in Europe, and that vast pay gaps damage morale, reduce trust, and lower workplace satisfaction. At a time when millions face rising costs and stagnant wages, this level of inequality is not just unfair — it’s socially and economically damaging. A 10:1 ratio would incentivise higher wages at the bottom, rein in excessive rewards at the top, and help rebuild a sense of fairness.

Back in 2017 the Council selected developer Guildmore to restore and redevelop ‘The Playtower’, to provide housing and a local cinema.  Seven years on, however, the building continues to deteriorate with the Guildmore scheme apparently stalled. It’s the Council’s duty to lead decisively on this project and to put local people at the heart of the process, but it has failed to do this. Local people have a right to expect better and want to see some progress over the next year! A community petition has been launched which can be signed by anyone who lives, works or studies in the Borough of Lewisham. Local people deserve better.

If the Childrens Wellbeing and Schools Bill is not stopped or significantly and substantially amended, it will cause harm, it erodes the role of a parent and reduces children's rights and educational opportunities.
