Keeping Virtual Parliament would enable MPs and other elected representatives from the regions and devolved nations to continue to work from home during the pandemic. If remote working IT including Virtual Parliament are removed, our democracy can not work under the new lockdown laws, as people from NI, North Scotland, Wales and SW England can not get to London and back in a day. Law states they can not stay in their second home in London. Travel and mixing in the Houses of Parliament add risk. Also it sets a very dangerous precedent to other employers to force people back to the office without proper provisions.

Inequality within the housing sector is on the rise. Through policies such as 'The Right to Buy' scheme creating a shortage of social homes, those that still rely on this form of housing are highly criticised and categorised as 'scroungers' in today's media. Without challenge this will continue to happen, causing more divisions in our society to prosper. Outsiders perceptions of these individuals needs to change through social housing becoming a necessity within our housing sector again.

Why is this important? Many people now especially need to cycle to work and do school pick up without taking public transport but have no where to store their bikes safely and responsibly. There are many benefits to cycling - environmental, financial, health both physical and mental and just pure enjoyment. I know many more people would cycle but can’t due to: living in a flat - don't have outside space/shed have to carry your bike up/down stairs want to start cycling but can't buy a bike as have no-where to store it or don't have space for all your family's bikes

I have to park further away as some residents have more than two cars parked I have mobility issues but not enough to get a disabled line

Many women are suffering from domestic violence that is not always physical, they do not always come with visible scars. Having a home where they can feel safe can help them pick up where they left off and set them on the right path. I have had many close friends affected by this where they lose a place they call home due to it not being safe for them anymore. Left with nothing as their home was a place of security representing a family.

Understanding the issues that lead to rough sleeping and being able to address them before people are forced to sleep on our streets allows problems to be caught early and have people put into adequate accommodation The rough sleeping figure has increased by 141% since 2010 and more needs to be done to ensure this figure does not rise anymore According to Crisis, effective early interventions reduce the personal and financial cost of homelessness. Cost of rough sleeping for 12 months (£20,128) vs cost of successful intervention (£1,426) (At What Cost, 2015). Preventing Homelessness early benefits all parties!

During this time of pandemic it is not too early to plan for the aftermath. Britain will emerge into a different world economy faced with the challenges of global recession, rising inequality and poverty, and the deepening effects of Climate Change. It is imperative to begin to plan for change, and to demand change. We cannot abandon the workers from whole sectors of industry as we did in the 1980s. We must instead plan to change our economy, and support workers through this transition. We must change how we obtain energy. Fossil fuel use is releasing carbon dioxide which threatens to render significantly more of our planet uninhabitable. This also threatens our food supplies, homes and workplaces with extreme weather, particularly drought and flood. Renewable energy is still being rolled out and continues to develop; it is the way forward. Any power station that you don't have to pay to put fuel into will be cheaper in the end. Rolls-Royce should be prioritising research and investment into sustainable energy generation and storage. The city of Derby has a workforce of artisans, engineers and scientists with world leading skills that can be put to use to build a new energy infrastructure. The 2020s should be the decade during which Britain steps into the green heat of the technological revolution. Rolls-Royce plc. can be a leader in the green power revolution in Britain. The people of Derby demand that that our MPs, councillors, trade unions and community groups, convene a local recovery committee to transform our city for the common good; and to assist Rolls-Royce plc. to lead the way as a 21st century manufacturer, employing the talent which will develop and make green energy products in Derby.

Across Britain, our NHS and key workers have been working day and night to save lives and keep our country's heart beating. We are asking for the government to support us as we arrange a series of nationwide parades, when it's safe to do so, in as many towns and cities as possible. We will parade through town centres and later gather in parks to celebrate those who have looked after so many of the people we love. Please sign this petition, follow us at https://facebook.com/ParadeForHeroes and sign up to volunteer at https://paradeforheroes.com.

Supermarket staff are on the front line, we like everyone else have a right to feel safe in our place of work. Just like some of our customers have a right to feel safe and not bullied by impatient customers.

It is fundamentally unfair to penalise a self-employed person, when they would otherwise qualify under the rules, as they were only "self-employed" for part of that year, even though they have been self-employed ever since, and they have lost 100% of their income due to COVID-19. In most cases, these are small amounts of money, less than most PAYE employees will be paid until October. Yet we have been briefly offered some support, which has now been snatched away, without any appeal.

Despite Covid 19 being a devastating virus for many, the resulting lockdown has brought us some very significant benefits: - less traffic meant that walking and cycling became much safer and more pleasant activities for all of us - we got out into our communities, met our neighbours and talked to each other - we were more active and got fitter (well some of us did!) - many people enjoyed a slower, less frenetic pace of life - it was brilliant for the environment and we loved hearing the birds and seeing more of nature. As lockdown is eased and we are encouraged to get back in our cars (or continue walking or cycling), the roads are getting much, much busier and increasingly unpleasant for pedestrians and cyclists. Brighton and Hove Council rolled out 20mph zones from 2013 and boy what a positive difference it makes! Over and above the less tangible experience of 'this is a much nicer place to be a pedestrian, cyclist, resident... a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents study showed that at 20mph there was a 2.5% chance of pedestrians being fatally injured, compared to a 20% chance at 30mph. And a Department for Transport paper on setting local speed limits reports that on urban roads with low average traffic speeds, any 1mph reduction in average speed can reduce the frequency of collision frequency by around 6%. We know that returning to the old normal is not sustainable for all of the reasons above, and this is a wonderful opportunity for a really positive change. Thank you.

1) Rough sleeping Since 2019 within the Uk there has been a drastic surge in rough sleepers with an increase of 169% over the last 10 years. (Butler, 2018) Often these individuals are prone to the harsh environment of the outside world and suffer from extreme mental and physical issues. 2) Statutory homelessness Only those with priority need get access to secure accommodation, i.e., pregnant women. Local authorities in the UK do not legally have to secure single homeless people and couples without children. LETS CHANGE THIS! 3) Hidden Homeless Currently within the UK we still see many people that are considered homeless that use hotels, friends and families as a means to get a roof over their head. (Reeve, 2018) However without this then where would they go? These are the disguised and often most vulnerable societal group as they are out of sight and unable to be helped (Foster, 2017). We cant allow these people to suffer anymore! Real change happens when everyday people like you and I come together and stand up for what we believe in. Together we can reach heaps of people and help create change around this important issue. Lets sign this petition TOGETHER to raise awareness about our homeless and help give aid to those who NEED IT!!
