• Compulsory Licencing of UK car wash sites
    Car Wash Advisory Service have been working within the car wash industry since 2011 and are specialists in the issues that surround unregulated washing. Further to the Environmental Audit committee's investigation in to hand car washing and their findings that the main faults lay with lack of understanding of the industry and lack of engagement from enforcement of current legislation. The EAC asked for mandatory licencing but the Government failed to grant this and offered voluntary licencing instead. They have clearly failed to understand that without mandatory licencing, the issues that surround unregulated vehicle washing (modern slavery, environmental damage, tax evasion) will not change, as the issues are so deeply ingrained, after years of neglect by successive Governments and their agencies. The only way to ensure that the issues that surround unregulated car wash sites stop is to introduce mandatory licencing.

  • Prorata Redundency Pay
    Thousands of women change their hours at work and then whom are made redundant are being given a redundancy package based on the part-time salary, even though they may have works full time for a longer number of years. e.g. A female member of staff has worked for a company for 15 years then decides to have a family and go part time, as soon as she goes part time her redundancy package is based on the part time salary / hours not the pro-rata of her total career.

  • Stop Public Funding for New Non-renewable Energy Projects
    Man-made climate change is scientific fact [1]. It is a national security problem unprecedented in scale that requires radical action. Without action we will see severe environmental and social damage like drought, famine and mass displacement of people within our lifetime. We want change. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are contracts where government pledges public money to private investment plans, reducing the financial burden on the private company and attracting investors to the UK. With the recent collapse of public-private nuclear energy deals at Wylfa and Moorside, we the undersigned ask the government to reconsider its energy policy. Passing legislation prohibiting the government from investing in the construction of new fossil fuel and nuclear energy infrastructure projects will help phase out these environmentally damaging technologies [2]. The future of energy is carbon neutral and renewable and it's time government policy reflected this. Renewables have the potential to meet our energy needs [3], but the sector lacks the public investment that the fossil fuel industry enjoys [4]. Legislation of this kind would encourage governments to make this investment available.

  • Outlaw the digging out of foxes
    Digging out terrified animals who have tried to hide underground is a hideously cruel and unnecessary activity. Those who get their kicks from slaughtering our wildlife in this way are posting their grisly images and videos on social media and bragging about their exploits. Sometimes, after hours of digging to reach the terrified creature, s/he is hauled out and thrown to the dogs. Often the mutilated corpse is mocked and photographed and displayed as a sickening trophy for the groups who take delight in killing animals. This ugly pastime has no place in the UK in 2019. The police have powers to punish hare coursers by crushing their vehicles and confiscating their paraphernalia. Hare coursers may also be sent to prison. If your government is serious about protecting our wildlife and the environment, we the undersigned respectfully request that you make the digging out of animals that have gone to ground illegal, and punishable by imprisonment, confiscation of equipment and dogs and hefty fines.

  • Save Enterprise Pre3+ Early Learning and Chilcare Centre
    The Enterprise Pre3+ Early Learning and Childcare Centre ensures that children of all ages and stages of development, receive the best educational experience, tailored to each individual child's needs. In addition this service has proved vital for parents returning to education or work, who otherwise would not have been able to do so. Previously having held close links with James Watt College/West College Scotland, many local students have heavily relied on this childcare facility. Closing this service due to funding cuts would not only be a terrible shame for the children of those working and studying in Inverclyde, but is also proposed to be counter productive. Inverclyde needs the Enterprise Pre3+ Early Learning and Childcare Centre to stay open for the sake of the children and for positive development of the local economy.

  • Scrap plans to cut housing support services for homeless people in West Sussex
    West Sussex County Council is proposing huge cuts to support for homeless people. Up to £4 million could be slashed from services and hostels, as well as support teams and drop in centres. These cuts will affect some of the most vulnerable people in our county: rough sleepers, victims of domestic abuse, care leavers, and frail older people who rely on support from the council. These vital services are often life saving, and provide a pathway to recovery and independence for the most vulnerable people in the county. Charities estimate that the cost of the proposed cuts will be high: human lives could be lost, and the financial costs will simply be transferred to the NHS, child protection, homelessness provision and the criminal justice system. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/20/lives-lost-housing-cuts-rough-sleepers-west-sussex-homeless?bucket=email-blast-22_2_2019_westsussex_seeder&utm_campaign=blast2019-02-22&utm_medium=email&utm_source=

  • Decent transport infrastructure for the north of England
    We've been neglected by successive governments. For the economy of the whole country this is essential as well as for the health and well being of our citizens. To meet climate change targets we need fewer polluting cars on our roads and this will only happen with efficient, reliable public transport. Too many people have difficult and stressful journeys each day because of a broken, inefficient and neglected transport system. Urgent action is needed NOW not by 2030.
