• Ban Battery Farming
    I first heard about battery farms when I was about 12. I was shocked at how I humane people could be and I wrote to my MP about it. When that achieved nothing I had to start this petition. I really hope to help the chickens in their horrible conditions. Battery chickens don't get enough space to live. It is shown that they have high levels of stress and as a result they peck at each other and themselves. Cannibalism also occurs due to the stress caused by the lack of space. In response to this their beaks are chopped off with electronically heated blades which causes acute and chronic pain. Most of them never get to go outside and never get to see the sun, they remain in cages or crowded barns their whole lives until they are slaughtered for us to eat.

  • Affordable Houses for the People of Devon
    Local people cannot afford the new houses being built because the price is set by national demand. A restrictive covenant with the District Council would limit the new build houses to local people only. It will reduce the Sale Price of the new properties and the rent they can achieve (As an example a house local to me with one of these restrictive covenants sold for a third less than neighbouring houses). District Councils claim that the houses are going to local people and they have the statistics to prove it. Teignbridge Council Post Occupancy Report 2018 is based on a survey where only one in four people to be sent surveys responded. They freely admit in their opening paragraph "the sample size is too small to be statistically significant"!!! A restrictive covenant will not stop people from outside of Devon from moving here but houses will not be built for them. This will reduce the demand for new houses and the devastation of our beautiful Devon countryside. The only losers will be the Planners and Developers who are making obscene amounts of money with the current house building program (Persimmon's CEO received a £75 million bonus). Lots of Devon's beautiful countryside is being destroyed. The photo of the field above is just one under threat by a Planning Application. It is a winter feeding ground for large flocks of Exe Estuary Wading Birds. See my other petition to ask the RSPB not to Accept Money for Loss of Birds and their Habitat :- https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/rspb-to-stop-accepting-money-for-loss-of-bird-habitats

  • Bottle and Can Return Policy
    This is essential to remove all bottles and cans from the environment. It would mark the UK as a world leader in environmental protection, encouraging other countries to follow suit. Vulnerable ecosystems (e.g. 3rd world water supplies, the Pacific) would be protected.

  • Protect our right to be European.
    I believe that any Brexit, deal or no deal, will affect my right to carry a passport which carries the words European Union on the cover and title page. I believe that the Prime Minister’s actions and intentions will reduce my human rights as they exist under the UK’s membership of the European Union.

  • Ultrasound all newborns hips
    My daughter is 17months old and was diagnosed with DDH (developmental dysplasia of the hip) at 16months old, this was missed from her newborn checks, she has just had to have an operation on her hip called a closed reduction and is currently in a spica cast. She may have to have further surgery. So many children and adults are diagnosed late and have to go though the pain of surgury and the frustration of being stuck in a cast, this could be avoided!! In European countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland all newborns undergo an ultrasound with in the first 5weeks and treatment if needed . They have a significantly lower number of late diagnosis. Why isn't this happening in the UK! Cost that's why. But if you weigh up the cost of treatment earlier on and the cost of surgery later in life you can gaurentee what's going to be cheaper. Change is what we needed!!!

  • plastic wrapping on chocolate bars
    we no longer want to buy products wrapped in plastic due to the impact plastic is having on our planet. Our oceans are full of plastic as are landfill sites. We want a healthy clean planet for our children & grandchildren. We want you to use biodegradable wrapping instead of plastic.

  • Fund our Ambulance Services to arrive in time every time
    A BBC News investigation shows there are "some rural areas in Britain where it took over 20 minutes on average for the ambulance service to reach a patient during January to October last year." Let's make it personal. In February an ambulance was called for me by the 111 service because of a suspected life threatening condition. The Community First Responder was on duty and arrived first. The ambulance itself took 80 minutes to arrive. We've had instances of elderly people lying-in the cold pavement with broken hips in my area waiting, waiting, waiting, for one of the 22 ambulances we have in our very large area. Twenty two! We have an ambulance station in our town, but it goes to any incident where it is required, as it should. There are insufficient staff and vehicles to cover our and every other area correctly, and this is down to funding and government cuts. The Ambulance Services are backfilling the lack of funding, vehicles and staff with volunteer Community First Responders, who are unpaid, though well trained. But this minimal cost service is not 24/7, and cannot replace a Dual Crewed Ambulance. Nor can a single manned emergency response vehicle, a Paramedic Car, manned by a single technician, however well trained and skilled that technician is, because it cannot provide emergency transport. The UK is being sold short. Our rural areas are beautiful, but those living there pay a heavy price. Ambulances simply do not arrive in time. Even our city areas fall outside the expected national service levels Austerity has crippled our public services. It is beyond time to fund the Ambulance Services fully, but not at the expense of other services,. If we need to pay more tax to fund it then we need to pay more tax.

  • STOP EXPLOITING ZERO HOUR CONTRACTS
    Many of Sports Direct, Deliveroo and Cineworld employees face quite a lot of disrespect and unpaid hours just because they have a zero hour contract. They have statutory rights which employers must follow. The number of zero-hours contracts rose by 100,000 in 2017 and there are around 900,000 workers in the UK who don’t know how many hours a week they’re going to get. We must have a voice. Employers must find a way to help zero hour contracts as we are facing an injustice and unfair labour. Let’s help each other to understand and end precarious contracts. #0hrcontractemployeesmatter #stopexploitingzerohrcontracts #ihavetheright
