• Bring back public service announcements
    As a child I remember the impact these announcements had on me and many others from my generation. Shocking as they were the impact was instant and effective. This is a very powerful form of advertising and creating these as realistic as possible can only have a scary, yet positive effect on current issues such as knife crime. The country is shaking their heads for solutions, the police are at their wits end and the government are far too slow to respond to this epidemic. We need to educate and reinforce the eternal damage caused by these crimes. Stop pussy footing around trying to protect people and give them a stark, reality shock. Bring back public service announcements.

  • Personal Independence Payments for Over 65s
    Over 65s are as likely if not more likely to need these payments as their younger counterparts. As people get older their joints and body become less able to cope with public transport especially if they have disabilities, but they also need to be able to remain independent in order to maintain their quality of life.

  • Vital NHS Phone Calls Are Being Blocked!
    The telephones of NHS GP Surgeries and Talking Matters (which deals with mental health issues) in Northumberland have changed to using withheld numbers, which means that many people with urgent medical issues are missing vital calls; this is because if you use BT Call Protect - which blocks many nuisance calls - NHS calls are blocked too! The NHS seems totally disinterested in rectifying this problem; meanwhile I have missed several important medical calls and have even been discharged from Talking Matters after waiting over a month for a telephone appointment because "Your phone won't accept withheld numbers". I wasn't told about this beforehand and no apology or explanation was necessary, apparently. (In many places locally mobile phones simply don't work.)

  • Open Glasgow Subway normal hours on Sundays
    The Subway provides an affordable, reliable and safe method of transport for a large part of the city of Glasgow - extending this service to normal opening hours on a Sunday would increase access and use of the subway, and make travelling to work on a Sunday for those that work unsociable hours much easier and safer.

  • Keep Castle Green Public Toilets Open Beyond 4.30pm!!
    It feels like there is zero logic behind the open hours of the public toilets in Castle Green. They close at 4.30pm each day, the same time as many students finish college and a full hour before the shops in town close and before many people even finish work to come out to enjoy the park and the beautiful weather. This seems absolutely absurd and ridiculous (and unheard of in any other city I personally have visited) that public toilets should close so early. For MEN, it means having to, still in the prime of the day, find a bush or tree to relieve themselves behind (which is a public decency issue). For WOMEN however, this is made an issue which is in fact deeply sexist as they are left no option but to have to end their time in the park to either go home, or have to trek a long way away from the park into town to find a shop, in which toilets are intended for paying customers only. People should be able to visit and sit in the park after work without having to find a bush to relieve themselves in, or worse yet, feel they have to go home when they begin to feel the need to use the bathroom. Access to the taps to refill water bottles should still be avalaible throughout this period also. There is no reason I can see either why this should be an issue for the council employee who opens up & closes the toilets. Surely, it is only necessary for them to come out briefly to clean and lock up the toilets so why should it make any difference if this is done at 4.30pm or 7.30pm? I can understand them closing earlier in the winter, perhaps at 5.30 or 6pm, but in the summer why should they not remain open until 7.30pm as in other normal civilised cities?

  • Fuel cost
    Because many people like me work some distance from home. And one of the biggest cost for most is actually getting to work.

  • Stop selling faux/artificial plastic plants
    There seems to be a fashion now for fake plants, particularly succulents at the moment and unfortunatley these are made of plastic. In this time of climate crisis and when we are drowning in the sea of plastic already on this planet, why on earth are retail outlets including many of the major supermarkets, making/selling more, for something so frivolous and when plants can so easily be grown, maintained and seeds bought cheaply. Not to mention how real house plants improve our oxygen, health and wellbeing. Let's stop this insanity now.

  • Allow tattoos in cabin Crew
    This is a big thing to me as I want to be cabin crew as a child but I got a scar covered with a tattoo on my hand and most airlines don’t allow tattoos at all which I think is unfair as considering it isn’t hurtful.

  • Ban Stephen Yaxley Lennon from Kenilworth road
    Racism has no part in our society, especially in our wonderful diverse town. We must stand up to it together. Football clubs have sadly in the past been used as recruitment centres for fascist troublemakers, let's not let our stands become the same.

  • Erect a statue of Dean Hoyle outside The John Smith's Stadium
    Dean has brought the club from mediocrity to success in such a short period of time and has given so many fans an era which they never believed would be possible.
