Additional Study Spaces at University of Bristol for 2020/21As the university has asserted that study spaces and libraries will remain open for the 2020/21 academic years, while "implementing social distancing measures" with "one-way systems, queues and distance markers", there will likely be restrictions on entry numbers to these facilities. Lots of students cannot effectively work from their university accommodation and houses, so restricted accessibility will disadvantage many who typically study elsewhere. The purpose of this petition, therefore, is to ensure that adequate study spaces are available to students while existing university facilities are restricted. The university can provide this by utilising university buildings and sports facilities, and/or through outsourcing.33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darcy Wilson

Keep Clarence Embankment SafeOver the years there has been significant growth of the planted and wild trees and growth along Clarence Embankment. There are many factors to now seriously consider:- 1. The high winds often experienced along Clarence Embankment due to the infrastructure of the street and river often create branch breakages and debris in the road which may be dangerous or hazardous. 2. The roots lifting the pavements create hazards for walkers and children going to school. 3. The street has experienced sewer problems which may also be due to tree root growth and age of sewers in the area able to cope with this growth. 4. The street experiences movement in the houses creating new cracks regularly which may be affected by the growth of the trees. 5. The trees are now overcrowded not allowing for healthy trees and growth. 6. The river bank is overcrowded with weeds and trees which gather rubbish and debris potentially endangering the birds and wildlife. 7. The significant size of the trees affect the natural light into the houses on Clarence Embankment 8. Every Autumn there is significant amount of leaf loss which creates drain blockages and slippery pavements (which were not cleaned for 6 months after the fall last year). 9. The street is used regularly by locals and visitors for walking and cycling as part of the Taff Trail and therefore presents further danger due to high usage. 10. The falling debris onto the road creates further potential risk of road traffic accidents. Overall, the street is becoming unsightly with the excessive plant and tree growth on the street and riverside for residents and regular users of Clarence Embankment this should be a street for Cardiff to be proud of and ensure it is safe and beautiful for all to enjoy!17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen McCarthy

Justice for Belly MujingaBecause Belly Mujinga was only doing her job working in public transport in London in this COVID-19 situation. She has family, friends who are devastated of her death. Her family deserve justice. The police have decided to drop the case but this needs to be reinvestigated. There was a man using London transport knowing that he had COVID-19, so he purposely spat on Belly Mujinga. She then died two weeks later. The man spat on two of the railway staff, and the other transport member also got sick, as well as Belly Mujinga who sadly died.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashley Hanson

New start ups and self employedPeople who are prepared to strive to set up their own business. Paid taxes for many years, perhaps never claimed anything during their life should be given the same consideration and support as other workers. They should not be left with no support to pay loans and other living expenses taken to start their business. My son is shielded (heart transplant) he and his partner had to move in with us before lockdown and has had no support other than using all of our savings - oh yes (Universal Credit - £73 a week) which is still not forthcoming. As pensioners it should not be solely the responsibility of us as parents to use all of our hard earned savings when millions of others are receiving government support!!!9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David McGarry

Drivers should stop once they hit a catBecause the cats have a family lt maybe a family with young children or for elderly or people with problems to keep them company and for them to get the news that their cat has been hit is very heartbreaking, if it was another drivers cat that got ran over by someone else they e be upset so I don't think it is right at all to have it that you don't have to stop. I really think drivers should stop and alert somebody or take them to the nearest vets88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marc Chapman

BELLS FOR BIKESSo that cyclists can alert pedestrians that someone on a bike is approaching them from behind. Pedestrians have no way of knowing that they are being overtaken until the cyclist is upon them, then it’s too late.A simple ‘ring ring’ would make almost 100% aware that someone is approaching them.Then they would step to one side and allow the impatient biker to pass. It must be made compulsory.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael McKeown

Conduct Independent Inquiry into Bristol EnergyBristol Energy is an energy company owned by Bristol City Council. Following huge losses, the Council has decided to sell the company. At least £35m of public money has been put into the company, but it is unclear exactly how much mismanagement of Bristol Energy has cost Bristol residents. A well supported petition is needed to demonstrate to Councillors that there is a public demand for this inquiry, and that we as Bristol residents expect an explanation for the expensive failure of the energy company we collectively own.
