Make 'We're in this together' real in post Covid-19 recoveryThe slogan, 'We're in this together' has been used a lot recently. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has suggested that a government deficit of over £200bn could be expected once this Covid-19 crisis is over. We have been told that everyone must be prepared to do their part to help the economy recover and prevent a second wave of austerity measures. I would suggest that one way of aiding this recovery would be to call on all those who hold money offshore and in tax havens, to ‘do the right thing’, by bringing this money back in from these tax havens and offshore accounts, so that they pay tax on the money and aid in the financial recovery. In particular I would address this call to members of the government and those who make decisions in financial institutions. If 'We are in this together' and want to avoid austerity measures, this would seem only just. There is currently no legal way of making this happen. I therefore hope that public opinion would be able to sway those concerned in offshore investment to make a moral decision to contribute to the recovery of the economy and therefore give credence to the statement, 'We're in this together.’86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jenne Gray

Review the Welfare StateThe Beveridge Report of 1942 was conceived at a time of crisis; the Second World War was at its height, and revealed huge gaps in social welfare and health care. The Report led directly to the creation of the Britain's most comprehensive National Health Service, accompanied by educational reform and social care, creating the welfare state that was envied throughout the world. Time has not been kind. The Covid-19 crisis has opened up enormous fissures in a comprehensive, inclusive and wrap-around system of care for all groups, individuals and families; it seems that the "cradle to grave" spirit and intent of Beveridge. has been lost or forgotten, and the welfare state is now in need of an urgent, comprehensive and all encomapssing reset.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Laurie Rosenberg

Stop McDonald's reopening during the coronavirus outbreakMcDonald's should be adhering to the lockdown rules and setting an example. They are pressuring employees to come back to work and potentially infect their own families, some of whom will be vulnerable or high risk.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deli Clare

Introduce a full city wide smoke control area in Brighton to protect residents from harmful smoke38% of all particulate emissions are from burning wood and coal in stoves and open fires in people's homes. In Brighton it is legal to burn coal and wood in the most polluting of ways as there is only a very small (5%) smoke control area. Particulate pollution is a risk to health in Brighton as it regularly exceeds WHO 24 hour PM2.5 health guideline levels and often it is wood and coal burning that are to blame. I ask you to kindly support me in my request asking Brighton and Hove Council to bring in this standard regulation to prevent this most polluting form of fuel burning and improve the health of its residents. Smoke Control Areas (SCA) are used in cities and towns to regulate in which areas residents are allowed to burn coal, wood in open fires, wood in non exempt stoves and other requirements intended to reduce pollution from burning solid fuel. PM2.5 pollution is lower in cities that have a full Smoke Control Area. https://www.bmj.com/content/350/bmj.h2757/rr-1 The government is in the process of strengthening the regulations surrounding SCAs with the intention to improve air quality but in Brighton that regulation cannot be acted upon due to there not being a full, city wide, SCA in place. Please share and sign this local campaign to improve the air quality in Brighton.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Hill

Consider a burning ban during the pandemichttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/07/air-pollution-linked-to-far-higher-covid-19-death-rates-study-finds PM2.5, the main pollutant when burning these fuels, has increased in some parts of the country due to people staying at home more and lighting more fires. The increase is likely to be seen more in residential areas where we now spend most of our time. This could increase further during the winter if there is a second wave of the virus. Wood and coal burning are the largest sources of PM2.5 in normal times. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/24/coronavirus-detected-particles-air-pollution A number of studies link PM2.5 to a reduced immune response to viral infections and even increase the transmission of viral infections as well as reducing respiratory health; a temporary ban could be very important in slowing the effects of this awful virus. Even if just as a precaution, can we please consider temporarily banning burning of anything non essential that may lead to an increase PM2.5 levels Links 'How Air Pollution Makes The Coronavirus So Much More Dangerous Breathing dirty air damages our health and can create underlying conditions that dramatically elevate the risk of complications and death from COVID-19.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/20/air-pollution-may-be-key-contributor-to-covid-19-deaths-study https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/air-pollution-coronavirus-health_n_5e833c50c5b62dd9f5d5f50d 'Lockdown eases seasonal smog - but wood fires and farming continue to cause pollution...A study of the Sars epidemic in China suggested that infected people were more likely to die if their area had poor-quality air.' https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/02/lockdown-eases-seasonal-smog-pollution 'Air pollutants, especially PM2.5, PM10 ... can increase the risk of influenza like illnesses' https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-019-7607-2 https://twitter.com/atreeon/status/124562689920991641916 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Hill

Save B&M and also the car parkThe reason why B&M is very important to Clevedon and also the car park is that a lot of people use them. If we lose the car park it will be a great big loss there is limited parking around the area as it is and also so we need B&M they sell a lot of things that we need without this store would have to go to either Weston or Bristol so we must try and save B&M and the car park and also we must save being m staff from losing their jobs439 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Lorraine Robinson

Let's go nuclear on health service investmentIf you have to ask this question you're probably part of the problem, and won't see the solution. How can it be sensible to continue to invest our 'public tax trillions' into something which can only end humanity, when we could invest in something that we've all now realised is actually our first and last line of defence against a threat which is real and likely to come back bigger and badder in the future?24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Taylor
