• Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Alton
    The 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 lady
    Sally 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 this

  • Save Adlington Library
    Our 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.

  • Keep Camden Town Food Market Independent
    Camden 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 .

  • Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Hastings and St. Leonards
    Until 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 Library
    Barrowford 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.

  • Keep Tytherington Free School Buses
    This is extremely important as children's safety is paramount. The Council say that the Middlewood Way is safe enough for children to walk, but its not. There are many reasons that they have obviously not taken into consideration!

  • SAVE MUSWELL HILL LIBRARY
    Muswell Hill Library is under threat! 1. Haringey Council are trying to close Muswell Hill Library so that they can sell off the building. 2. They want to fund projects elsewhere in the borough. 3. Muswell Hill Library is a listed building of great significance - yet the council claim "investing in this building is not a priority". 4. Instead they are offering a downgraded library service in a dark, oppressive space with low ceilings, beneath a major luxury flats development. 5. There will be no disabled parking or possibility to set down passengers with limited mobility - despite being located on one of the steepest hills in London. 6. The 'consultation' only offers two possible options - stay in the existing building with no improvements, or move to the alternative site. Our Campaign 1. The Friends of Muswell Hill Library have been given a quote to improve the existing library for just £60,000. 2. We are campaigning for Haringey Council to go ahead with this option 3. This modest cost would cover a lift, a disabled toilet, better disabled access 4. Haringey Council claim that these minor modifications would cost £680,000! This is 11 times more than the true cost! 5. Catherine West MP has written to the leader of Haringey Council in support of our campaign. What can you do to help? 1. Sign this petition - and get your friends and family to do so! (link goes here). If we get 2,220 signatures we can trigger a Full Council debate! 2. Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/save.muswell.hill.library 3. Spread the message in the media and follow us on Twitter @FriendsN10 4. Go to www.haringey.gov.uk/survey/mhl-consultation and fill in the questionnaire. Respond ‘Strongly Agree' to Option 1 and ‘Strongly Disagree’ to Option 2. Remember to click the ‘Submit’ button. 5. Write to the responsible councillor, Bernice Vanier - you can email her at [email protected] 6. Write to the responsible civil servant, Zoe Robertson - you can email her at [email protected] 7. Make a formal complaint to Haringey Council - that they have not consulted on all options - you can do this by clicking here: https://eforms.secure.haringey.gov.uk/ufs/ufsmain?formid=CST_CACS&FBT=CSC
