• Reinstate the 'A' Licencing course at Northbrook MET
    To work on in the Aviation industry as a Aircraft Maintenance Engineer you are required to hold either an A or B licence. For many years Brighton MET formally Northbrook College (Shoreham Campus) ran the EASA 'A' Licencing programme through part 147. Recently, MET decided to shut down the courses due to a series of unfortunate events. We are petitioning to reinstate the course.

  • Save Buckinghamshire's Children's Centres-Delay decision - new council should decide in 2020
    The option to invest in Early Help Services and keep all children's centres open should be considered now that a decision on the unitary authority has been made. With the council said to make savings of £18.2m per year (Net 5 year revenue of £45.4m) when the new authority is formed, the decision should be delayed until then. By closing all 35 children’s centres, the Council wish to make a saving of £3.1m in early help overall. However, if they are saving £18.2m per year with the unitary, then why not wait until this is in place and look at investing in Early Help services to improve them? All options on the current consultation involve making cuts and are inadequate. In addition, there is no 'other' option (see question 18 consultation) when having to decide what their preferred choice is, people are feeling as if they have been forced to chose an option they don't necessarily agree with. Investing in children, prevention and health will lead to savings overall and in the long run. Closing children’s centres in the long run will affect children, their families and could lead to isolation and an increase in mental health issues. For more information, see link https://www.buckscc.gov.uk/services/care-for-children-and-families/improving-early-help-services-for-children-young-people-and-families/consultation-process/ (public consultation closes 11pm 13th December 2018)

  • Remove plastic packaging from celery in the UK
    Us and our families drink celery juice every morning for its healing properties and use 2-4 bunches each per day. Between us that is 2,920 packets thrown away a year, minimum. Most of our celery is bought from Sainsbury's and if they stop putting it in plastic we will commit to buying all our celery from them , as will our families and encouraging our followers to do so also as we are documenting our healing via social media and a blog. Of all the all the Americans we see posting about juicing, their celery is always tied with string in the stores so why in the UK are we causing ours to sweat in plastic and damaging our environment in such a catastrophic way?!

  • Support clean air for Bath
    We have heard plenty from those unhappy with measures intended to improve air quality. The council needs to know there are also many people who support cleaner air for Bath, even if it does come at the price of some personal cost or inconvenience.

  • A fine on unwanted sexual attention on the streets
    It is important because this kind of behaviour needs to be stopped asit is disgusting, unnecessary and intimidates and frightens those who are victims of it. It dters me from walking places on my own because of how disturbing this kind of behaviour is to me. In particular, me and many other girls I know have been victim of wolf whistling and unwanted vehicle horn beeping whilst walking home from school - very obviously underage in our school uniforms.

  • Make Alan Turing the ‘face’ of the new £50 note.
    Despite being key to the effort to break the Nazi ‘Enigma’ code in World War Two, and in doing so also being fundamental to the development of computing worldwide, Turing was shoddily treated by his country. He was arrested and charged with offences because he was homosexual - for which he has subsequently (and posthumously) pardoned, but was also given chemicals in order to prevent his sexual desire (chemical castration). He committed suicide on June 7, 1954. The UK, Europe, the Far East and indeed the world, owe Turing and his colleagues a debt of gratitude. This would go a little way in further repaying this debt.

  • Improve the university experience for autistic students
    Countless students struggle with issues of isolation and distraction, feeling overwhelmed by everything around them during their transition to university. For students with an autism spectrum disorder, these struggles are magnified and are an every day struggle. There are many difficulties that people with autism may face when transitioning from school to university and we are urging universities to be proactive in bettering their existing services as well as introducing new ones. We are not trying to help students overcome an autism spectrum disorder or get around it. We are campaigning the university to help ensure that students with autism are achieving their full potential during their studies. We are beginning this campaign at Cardiff University, with the aim to expand it across all Russell Group universities.

  • End Loneliness
    If we can end loneliness with a little community spirit then this will lessen mental health issues down the line. This will have a positive affect on the NHS and community spirit in general. If someone knows they will get at least one visit a month it will give them something to look forward to.
