• Petition for the urgent reopening of Clovenstone Community Centre
    As the only remaining Community Centre in the Wester Hailes area it is a vital hub, providing a safe welcoming space for people to meet and interact, where they can make new, and strengthen existing community bonds. We have never needed the facilities more than now, and would urge the council to consider reinstating their staff to run groups within the centre, in the same safe and considered way as their staff in schools.

  • Introduce Speed Restriction on A980 Beltie Road (Sundayswells)
    We, the residents of the area (also known locally as Sundayswells) have long campaigned for necessary action to be taken due to the built up nature of the stretch, also leading down Beltie Road. We believe a 30mph zone is required in addition to enforcement of the limit by Police Scotland. We, the residents, believe this is a very dangerous stretch of road with multiple dwellings roadside, and is used as a footpath and cycle path for young. Recent events of a car leaving the road and ending up down a bank prove that not enough due care and attention is given by road users. Only by reducing this speed limit may we see a reduction in the speed cars and heavy good vehicles pass by our community.

  • HM Government must improve Coronavirus testing
    Across the UK care home staff, social care workers and NHS staff are still calling for better and more frequent testing to allow them to avoid infecting their patients and their colleagues. Better testing leads to less virus transmission, which in turn leads to fewer deaths. We call on the government to put resources and effort behind the production, distribution and processing of Coronavirus tests to make better use of available laboratory testing capacity. * Test laboratory capacity on Mon 3 Aug 2020: 338,413 Daily tests processed on Tue 11 Aug 2020: 164,061 Data from coronavirus.data.gov.uk on Thu 13 Aug 2020.

  • Give English pupils grades teachers predicted
    Because our children’s lives matter: our young people have already suffered enough from coronavirus & interruption to their education. They are in despair over the awards process which has given generally poorer results awards today than predicted, & don't deserve to have their whole lifetime ruined. We must stand together to show them we believe in them, & use the weight of our support to get this right for them. This is too serious for delay: pupils are likely to lose their university places if they have to wait til next week to know how to appeal, make the appeal, & wait again while the thousands of appeals are processed. Pupils across the board stand to lose out for their whole lifetime if this is not put right IMMEDIATELY by accepting teacher predicted grades as Scotland has recognised & done. Our country will lose the contribution these talented young people can make to us in recovery & rebuilding, already our brightest pupils hoping to go into medicine science & IT are considering applications to foreign universities to study the subject & follow the career of their choice - they may never return to work here. Others will make decisions which may not make the most of their talents. Frustration, disappointment, mental health issues are likely to bring far reaching personal consequences if this failure in the grades awards process is not put right now.

  • Make school exam results Fairer
    Thousands of school students have had their final results unfairly downgraded. Many received a mark lower than what their teacher predicted - even though no-one sat an exam this year! The algorithm is biased against students who over perform versus their school average.

  • Protect Home Ownership For Young People
    The majority of Young waged adults can’t afford to really own a home. We need to incentivise our young people to get out into the workplace and help get our nation out of an impending recession. "It's been difficult [getting on the property ladder]. Leaving uni' you think 'I'll save up for a couple of years and get my own place', but house prices keep rising so it's nearly impossible...You can only afford a home on a huge salary, and most young people don’t get that … by the time I move up the pay ladder, house prices would have risen even more." Sign this petition to Robert Jenrick - Secretary of State for Housing for the hundreds of thousands of young earners forced to rent or live with parents.

  • Ban non-essential SUVs!
    Reducing CO2 emissions from all cars is essential to prevent a climate emergency. SUVs are typically much less fuel efficient than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to global warming. From 2010 SUVs have been the second-largest contributor to the increase in global CO2 emissions, second only to the power sector. Between 2010 and 2018 electric cars the increasing efficiency of smaller cars and electric vehicles in the UK has saved over two million barrels of oil a day but this has been rendered pointless since SUVs were responsible for over three million barrels a day growth in oil demand from passenger cars! On average, SUVs consume about a quarter more energy than medium-size cars. Despite car makers making a full commitment to lowering CO2, their aggressive and cynical marketing of SUVs has been the main cause of rising emissions. As the centrepiece of transport emissions policy the UK government also committed to an international car CO2 law a decade ago. Allowing the growth of the SUV industry makes the government’s promises to protect the environment look very empty!

  • Make National Theatre Live available to ALL
    Recently, The National Theatre provided NT at Home to keep us entertained during lock-down. It was available to all, including those who are never able to visit a theatre or cinema. The easing of lock-down and the return of National Theatre Live to (some) cinemas, means a return to the exclusion of many.
