Girl Footballers to earn the same amount of money as boy footballers!The players allege they have been subject to ongoing institutionalised gender discrimination, including unequal pay, despite having the same job responsibilities as the men's national players. The women's team have won the world cup, they have the superstars, they are the drivers of football in their country. The global gender wage gap overall sees women earning 63% of what men earn. Women’s bodies can do a lot more than we give them credit for. Most of what society thinks women’s bodies can do is based on fairly arbitrary speculation by men. Until 1972, women were not allowed to run marathons because they were thought to be too frail!12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Addison C

Windfall Tax on Large Companies to Support Small BusinessSmall businesses in retail, hospitality, leisure and entertainment sectors, are bearing the brunt of lock down measures. On the run into Christmas, they will be pushed to the edge. Elsewhere some very large companies will be raking it in, and sucking up the expendable money in the economy. At the same time some opportunist businesses are making large profits from tax payer funded public services. Government has introduced some measures to help businesses, their employees and the self-employed, but without further spending it is unlikely to be enough to save many small and medium sized businesses and the employees that depend on them. When the money borrowed by Government needs to be repaid, a business as usual approach to taxation will see an increased burden on all of us, whether that be through increased taxation, or poorer public services. It only seems fair that the largest companies, who will make the biggest profits during the Pandemic, should bear a greater proportion of that burden of taxation.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mick Harwood

Lymm supports the Climate and Ecological Emergency BillThis is a Private Members’ Bill, and taking it through parliament will be a hard-fought process but it has been done before with major climate legislation. This is an alliance bill that has been written by scientists, lawyers and activists; it is gathering support from a broad range of campaign groups, businesses, charities and individuals, and Lymm Parish Council believes it is an important piece of legislation. The bill has the potential to become the most significant move forward since the Climate Change Act 2008. Passing the CEE bill ensures that: Our entire carbon footprint is taken into account (including all of the emissions linked to the production and transport of goods from overseas that we consume in the UK We don’t depend on technology (NETs) to save the day as an excuse for inaction We focus on nature as much as climate, protecting and conserving habitats in the UK and internationally on supply chains Citizens are central to deciding how to move forward, in a Citizens’ Assembly with real teeth “This Bill outlines the path needed to avoid the catastrophe outlined by the United Nations... it is farsighted aiming to protect those at risk now and in the future.” https://www.ceebill.uk/134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Graham Gowland

Support for businesses forced to close or operate under restrictions due to the COVID-19The government is heavily focused on job retention and the furlough scheme, of which there is no doubt is beneficial to employees and is keeping the unemployment figures down. However, without adequate and realistic financial support many businesses will not survive the pressures which the COVID-19 restrictions are placing upon them. Many of these employees will find there are no jobs for them to return to without the government offering realistic support to the businesses employing them. The grants being offered at present will not even cover the rents or mortgages on many of the premises occupied by these businesses. Being the owner of a small rural public house (rateable value under £51,000) I can tell you that £500 a week is not covering my £800 a week rent let alone the insurance, electric and rental contracts, etc (which have no interest in pandemics) all which require paying. I am now extremely worried for the future of a business which I have worked hard to build up. It has been in the family for almost 30 years. We are self-employed operators who are not eligible for very much by way of self-employment support as we don't make much from the business by way of profits. So the pressure is now building as we are unsure how long we can continue. This not only puts the livelihoods of myself, partner and children at risk but the 10 local people who we employ. I beg this to be looked at as a matter of urgency as we are only a very small representation of the country and there are countless others in our situation.138 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Victoria Wood

Stop Councils and Housing Associations Punishing Those in Rent ArrearsThis is discriminatory to those who are for example disabled or elderly. It shows housing providers are more interested in their pockets than human decency. It implies that those in rent arrears aren't entitled to food deliveries , companionship . It seeks to punish those already struggling for no clear reason at all . In the current climate of self isolation due to COVID 19 rules such as these seek to further isolate those who aren't able to leave their homes , need assistance , or need to be able to park in close proximity to their home.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Dadzie
