  • NHS Day.
    While the whole country now recognises the horrifying danger of COVID-19, we have all come to rely on the astounding courage and fortitude of our National Health Service to respond to its continuing effects. From paramedics and ancillary staff, to nurses and doctors, this extraordinary assembly has selflessly turned up for work, risked their lives for us, and in over a hundred cases, died for us. We now have the opportunity, on July 5th, the day of the inauguration of the NHS in 1948, to institute a National NHS Day, to be celebrated in perpetuity, to recognise our debt, and to join hands with our health workers on whose determination we all depend. Lets get this done, together.

  • Make the NHS and social care one system.
    Covid-19 has shown the problems we have with our social care system as it is. A country can be judged by how it treats it's older population. Not only is social care often inadequate, but many are staying in hospital blocking beds as there is not the support available in the community.

  • Re-flower our Roadsides
    Environmental diversity and preventing the decline and destruction of nature is crucial right now, and not tomorrow. We urgently need strong policy and guidance from the County Council to to prevent the ongoing decline and disappearance of native species. It was great that South Glos donated so many sapling trees last Autumn, but very few landowners were willing to plant them. The willingness to leave grass verges to flower has met with even less enthusiasm. We need strong leadership and sanctions to give nature a chance. The way the natural environment is managed needs strong guidance from those who have the power to make this change.

  • Re-flower our Roadsides
    Environmental diversity and preventing the decline and destruction of nature is crucial right now. We urgently need strong policy to stop the old habits of land misuse continuing. The decline and disappearance of native species is everyone's responsibility and especially those who are responsible for public highways and byways, our Councils. Last Autumn South Glos. donated many sapling trees to be planted by local community groups.However, very few landowners were willing to let them be planted on their land despite the free labour of planting them. Their willingness to leave grass verges to flower has met with even less enthusiasm. Councils have the power to make big changes to counteract climate change. Let's encourage them to do it now, and sign this petition.

  • Scrap Trident in light of Coronavirus
    The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is resulting in a huge loss of life around the world with a shrinking of the world economy. The International Monetary Fund predicts that the UK will be one of the top six worst-hit economies. However, the UK Government plans to spend billions on replacing a nuclear weapons programme that it could not possibly consider using without catastrophic consequences for all it's citizens and the world.

  • NHS Staff Deserve Pay Increases.
    NHS workers were on the frontline every day even before Covid-19 reared it's ugly head. It is not morally right to expect NHS workers to work long hours and punishing shift patterns in a medical war zone without having the proper PPE and acceptable remuneration. We ask that the Government grant NHS workers a 25% reduction on Residential Parking Permits, National Insurance and Council Tax, and that it raises the salaries of everyone working on the NHS frontline by 25%. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has raken a voluntary 20% paycut for the next 6 months and set herself as an exemplary moral role model. The British public ask the British Government to do likewise and take a temporary 20% reduction in your pay. Now more than ever we need to have faith in our Government, and although most of you are working long hours trying to manage this situation and get the country back on its feet, we need to know that you are prepared to take a small financial hit to show solidarity with the British people who have had the financial rug pulled out from under them. Your 20% reduction could help to feed the families who have no idea where the next meal is coming from, or pay the rent of the people who are terrified that they are going to lose their homes. It won’t be forever, and it could make all the difference in the world. In summary we ask:- 1. Grant NHS workers 25% discount 2. Salaries of NHS staff to be increased by 25% 3. Pay student nurses a full nurses wage 4. Government officials to take a temporary 20% reduction in pay The NHS saved our Prime Minister's life. There is a way we can show our appreciation. Clapping on the doorstep is great, but let’s do something that will really make a difference to people’s lives.

  • Add a Food Bank Donate Button to Supermarket Orders
    With Food Banks being so vitally needed at the moment and with the huge increase in online supermarket orders adding a donation field seems a good way to raise loads of money. I used to drop a few items in the food bank baskets when shopping but as I am now not actually going to the supermarket I don’t have this option, I have donated money directly Food Banks but think the Donate button would encourage more people to do so easily.

  • COVID-19 NHS MEMORIALS: Waive the 10 Year Principle for Monuments in Westminster
    As it stands over 110 NHS workers have lost their lives to the coronavirus disease, putting themselves in harms way on the front-line to treat sufferers of COVID-19. The war against COVID-19 is primarily fought by the many health workers up and down the country and they should be recognised as soldiers of war under these circumstance. Those NHS workers who have lost their lives to this war on coronavirus must be commemorated and remembered in a Westminster monument before the year 2030.

  • Protect our NHS services
    The NHS can be broken down into different services and those that could make a profit could be sold off, with the buyer having the ability to charge the NHS fees to use those services.
