Return the Elgin marbles to GreeceOn a recent visit to Athens and the new Acropolis museum ,I became aware of the significance of these sculptures to the national cultural identity of Greece.(If a similar thing were to happen to a British monument such as Stonehenge there would be an outcry). The UK has a long and friendly history with Greece and the Greek people.Returning the sculptures would lift morale in Greece and help to strengthen that relationship. The marbles should take their rightful place in Athens where they truly belong.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by STEVE MARTLEW

Tesco: Stop Using Black Plastic PackagingEVERY SINGLE PRODUCT SOLD IN THE UK COULD BE PACKAGED WITH 100% RECYCLABLE MATERIALS As the largest UK supermarket chain, Tesco should be the market leader in sustainable packaging. Packaging is important to protect their products, and recycling is important to protect our environment. If ALL products were offered in recyclable packaging, we would dramatically cut the unnecessary filling of further landfill sites each year. WE WANT TO RECYCLE! Households across the UK want to recycle. Year-on-year, recycling figures are increasing. Consumers are increasingly engaged and increasing the levels at which they recycle. It is the responsibility of retailers to ensure they offer their products in recyclable packaging. WHY CAN'T I RECYCLE BLACK PLASTIC?! Black plastic packaging is one of the easiest packaging items that could be swapped for a recyclable alternative. Almost every local council offers a household collection service that recycles clear plastics, a simple alternative to non-recyclable black plastic. Black plastic can't easily be recycled, as there is no efficient way to sort it at a recycling facility. The solution is simple: don't use it in packaging! BE THE LEADER As the market leader, Tesco has an opportunity to set the precedent on sustainable packaging. Starting with black plastic, many other non-recyclable items such as expanded polystyrene should be phased out. In their place, recyclable and/or bio-degradable alternatives should be utilised as standard.1,212 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nick Gates

Ban Dangerous Pesticides in AltonThe use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

Save Sally the lollipop ladySally the local lollipop lady for my sons school Burraton primary school is being cut. People drive too fast along the stretch of road outside the school and without her in place it is dangerous for the children. The council have decided to cut 19 sites throughout Cornwall and without these men and women in place it is dangerous for the children. There are no alternative crossings for the children to use in the area. Always polite and curtious the lollipop men and women are not just a safe way to help the children cross the road but also help teach Road safety and manners. Without them in place I believe we will see an increase in accidents and even deaths along the stretches of roads they patrol. The 19 sites are 1 REDRUTH, WEST TREWIRGIE ROAD 2 DELABOLE O/S SCHOOL 3 SALTASH, LISKEARD ROAD 4 ST COLUMB MAJOR, NEWQUAY ROAD 5 REDRUTH, JNCT CLINTON ROAD HEANTON TCE 6 TROON 7 SALTASH BURRATON, FAIREMEAD ROAD 8 CALLINGTON NEW ROAD 9 FALMOUTH ALBONY ROAD 10 DOBWALLS ON CROSSROAD 11 NEWQUAY, ST COLUMB MINOR ON PORTHBEAN ROAD 12 SENNEN 13 ST AUSTELL, MOUNT CHARLES WOODLAND ROAD 14 CAMELFORD CLEASE ROAD 15 NANPEAN 16 CAMBOURNE FOUNDRY ROAD 17 CAMBOURNE DOLCOATH ROAD 18 NEWQUAY TRENANCE ROAD 19 NEWQUAY EDGECUMBE AVENUE Please everyone sign and share this1,639 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Stapleton-Yabsley

Save Adlington LibraryOur libraries do more than simply loan books. They provide events for children, internet access for the elderly, book clubs and more. They’re places for the whole community to come together and learn. Libraries are a door into the world, we need to protect them for future generations.57 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Hesketh

Keep Camden Town Food Market IndependentCamden Town is one of London's major tourist attractions and part of its charm is the amount and variety of small business owners who each sell a wide range of food from all around the world. Some were in tears yesterday as the new market management told them the news.The independent traders were also told to keep very quite about this development or they would be turfed out before the month was up ,The new management intend to replace the 200 present food traders with a corporate style concept where every trader is working for them with a till system taken .4,228 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Tom Maloney Maloney

Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Hastings and St. LeonardsUntil there is conclusive evidence to contradict the World Health Organisation declaration that glyphosate is a 'probable carcinogen' we propose that Hastings Council identify and apply safe methods of weed control. In the interim, please notify residents when glyphosate spraying is planned so they can manually or otherwise deal safely with weeds and also ensure pets and children are not at risk.

Save Barrowford LibraryBarrowford Library is an active and much-needed resource, with users ranging in age from the very young to the very elderly. A dedicated and professional library service is a must in any civilised society and the scale of cuts proposed to Lancashire's library facilities are unacceptable. The library has regular reading and dedicated events for children and a variety of library-based activities for locals. The removal of the library and sale of the building would mean that there are no other community spaces to do these activities. Once removed these facilities will not be replaced. Barrowford is a growing community and should not be deprived of a library.175 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Gregg
