Nuclear weapons are an anachronistic hangover from the cold war and serve no useful purpose in the modern world. With the greatest risk to our society likely to be terrorist attacks in out own country or those of our allies nuclear weapons no longer have a place in our arsenal.

As you may already know gala equipment charges were imposed by South Ayrshire Council as decided by Councillors at a budget meeting on 3rd March 2016. Community representatives have agreed to gather signatures on a petition asking Councillors to reverse the decision to impose gala equipment charges, and ask that this service is fully reinstated. The gala days do not make enough money to cover the costs to pay for this equipment, and many are at risk of ceasing if the support offered by South Ayrshire cannot be provided, which would have a real impact on our communities. We were invoiced over £1400 for Kirkmichael Gala Day this year. We were lucky enough to secure funding for this years event but do not have the funds for next years gala. We intend to present our petition at a Public Processes Panel meeting in the autumn, and are being supported in this process by our Councillors. We would like to gather as much support as possible, and have been advised that the best chance of getting Councillors to overturn this decision would be for all affected communities across South Ayrshire to get behind the petition to show the impact that this budget cut will have. I am going to take the petition to the village shop where everyone can sign it. Please please take the time to pop in and sign this petition for us. It is so important for the future of Kirkmichael Gala Day. We work tirelessly throughout the year to fundraise for the gala as the costs are increasing as the event becomes more popular. This added expense is one which we feel will jeopardise the future of what has just become a date families look forward to each year so please help me with our fight. I have until 1st Aug to gain as many signatures as possible. Thank you

By removing the climate change department it is essentially sending a message that says the conservative part don't care about climate change. Theresa May has selected a cabinet that could be detrimental to the environment. The conservatives, in their election promises, promised a greener government. We now have Boris Johnson, a climate change denier, Andrea Leadsom in charge of energy; who had to ask if climate change was real and a team of people just as likely to care little for the environment. Climate change matters to everyone whether left wing or right wing. It is your future, your children's future.

At the 2015 general election the results were incredibly disproportionate and demonstrated the inability of first-past-the-post to adequately or legitimately represent the diverse range of political opinion in the UK. Whatever party you support, if you care about preserving our democratic society you will agree that FPTP is a redundant system. The current government leads on a mandate of just 36% of voters, the SNP are vastly overrepresented in Scotland whilst the Greens and UKIP received just 2 MPs between them, despite receiving almost 5m votes. This creates artificial divides and doesn't reflect what people really want. It's time for our MPs in Gloucestershire to speak up for democracy and let our voices be heard in Westminster.

The future of Hinchingbrooke Hospital is under threat and the proposed merger with Peterborough and Stamford Foundation NHS Trust may see the closure of Accident & Emergency, Maternity and Haematology and also the downgrading of the hospital. We will fight for the retainment of Hinchingbrooke Hospital. Hinchingbrooke Hospital currently provides medical and emergency care for 160,000 residents in Huntingdon and the surrounding rural area. Further housing stock has been planned and approved for development in the near future, which will increase the need to have a District Hospital in Huntingdon. Peterborough and Addenbrookes, the two nearest alternative hospitals are 40 minutes journey time at best, along very busy roads assuming you have your own transport. Not ideal if you are very unwell. We will fight to save Hinchingbrooke. https://s.bsd.net/38degrees/main/page/-/CBY/Hands_Off_Hinchingbrooke_Logo_large.jpg

Increase public transport options, put Galloway back on the railway map, remove lorry traffic from the A75, increase tourism in Dumfries and Galloway.

We are a pancake shack, we are based on a cliff where there is no shop, food outlet of facilities for 1 mile. We provide a service for people local and tourists, serving drinks and hot food to take away, we are sensitive about the enviroment where we are, and we operate from an ECO cabin, which runs on wind power, we take our rubbish home and we use recyclables. We are only open during weekends and summer months, we close the shack and move it by the end of September. We have permission from the land owner at Atlantic terrace to say we can operate from the parking space, and also the highways agency, have no objections to us being there. We have been there at New Polzeath for 6 years now, and since the road closure with the Atlantic house hotel, we have considerably lost business. But we are still open for the public, as we are providing a service, and also we only use local suppliers.

Its important to me get this e petition campaign to look at bring back to uk rivers and streams with support of farmers and anglers across england and uk.

This issue affects us all, our families and our futures. We ignor this at our peril. There are massive research and manufacturing opportunities in industries associated with climate change and the U.K. could still be a world leader in wave technologies and other such areas, if prioritiesed, subsidised and invested in.

Climate change is NOT an old drab or dull issue. Is is THE single most important issue facing humanity and our species. It will define the 21st century in the way that World War defined the 20th century. It must not be ignored by the new Prime Minister. The climate is changing rapidly. This is causing rapid destruction of biodiversity and is increasingly leading to extreme weather, shrinkage of the polar ice-caps, melting of glaciers, rising sea-levels and a catastrophic change to global weather patterns. This is leading to human conflict over space, food and resources, and is the driving force behind the migrant crisis the world is experiencing. We must not ignore this issue because it will engulf us!

We feel excluded by not being able to wear one of our favourite brands because we aren't the right size.

MAY'S CAMPAIGN is a campaign to try and get more help for people with Mental Health issues who need to be able to talk to someone when they are having a bad time or are in an unstable state of mind. At the moment people with mental health issues are advised to go to their nearest A&E department who are often over stretched and don't always have the staff to spend time talking to people with mental health issues. Sometimes people with mental health issues are put in touch with a Crisis team, but again they are voices on the end of a telephone telling them to go to A&E, or 20 minutes per day home visit. If there were walk-in centers, that these people could go to, it would relieve the pressures on A&E departments and quite often people with mental health issues just need to be able to talk to someone face to face, who is willing to listen to them and make them feel that what they are going through is important and that they, as people, are important to their families and to society in general. Today a young girl named MAY had her funeral, she was 21 and had suffered with mental illness for a number of years, but because she couldn't get the help she desperately needed, she took her own life. There were a lot of young people at the funeral who had known May as a friend, and who had also received support on-line from all across the country. People loved May for what she did to help them, she tried to help many people with their problems and she also worked as a volunteer at a center for people with suicidal tendencies, where they could go for support and even be able to stay for a few nights, so they could feel safe. Yet when May needed this help there wasn't anywhere for her to go. My daughter was one of the people at the funeral who has also suffered with mental health issues and has often been through very difficult times, where she has needed support, but has not been able to get to talk to anyone without being told to just go to A&E where she has had to sit for hours while waiting to be seen and in the meantime her anxieties have reached suicidal levels. No mother, father, family member or friend should have to bury their sons or daughters, because the support that they need isn't in place for them to use. There are walk in centers for the homeless, for food banks, people who are unable to handle the amount of alcohol they drink and other problems, but there isn't enough being done for mental health sufferers. It could be organized and run by volunteers in empty shops, mobile buses or safe houses. It doesn't have to be big new buildings, just somewhere people can feel safe and listened to. So please sign this petition and share it with your friends, family and everyone who means something to you, also your loved ones, as we all know someone who has had mental health issues from depression to suicide, and we all need to show them our support by getting something done to help them where they can go and feel safe instead of suicidal. Thankyou for taking the time to read this, now please sign it, we need as many signatures as there are people who love someone out there.
