Reduce “rat running” along Kidbrooke GardensOver the last 10 years there has been a significant increase in traffic along Kidbrooke Gardens/South Row. Up to 8000 vehicles a day are using this minor residential road, resulting in increased air and noise pollution for local residents. The high traffic volumes make it dangerous for pedestrians and other road users. As the only East/West routes south of the A2/north of the A20, it is vital that the council provides a safe, healthy street to encourage families to choose “active” travel options when taking their kids to one of the 10+ schools within 1mile radius.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael O'Byrne

More help for the vulnerable the elderly and youngI have been trying to look after my son who is now 29 he has autism and mental health issues. I have tried for the last five years to access him some help, since he was discharged from hospital. I have complained to social service's, local MP, police and mental health services. It seems they are not and don't want to work together to help people like my son. There are policy's in place saying that the above services are there to help by working together but as I've experienced there is a small majority of the service's that do try. I've even experienced a social worker who tried to help actually stand in his own council office and say that "the people in this office are trying to ignore the issues so they don't have to deal with them" whilst on the phone to me. The police turn up every time my son has an episode and say it's down to social services. Social services have now refused to speak to me due to my son being over 18. The MP has tried for the last two years to try and help, after a dozen letter's and numerous requests to have a meeting, we still haven't met. There are a lot of people whom have no family or friends to support them and are just left with no help and this is where the crisis grows and people either end up on the streets or arrested for behaviour which is more an illness. Our government has a duty of care through the services they provide.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sneta Kumari

Start a Space Cadet ForceThis will help young people to develop important life skills and pride in themselves, but through a non-military pathway. It will encourage them to look to the future and strive for excellence in a broad range of learning challenges. It will create new relationships as "esprit de corps" develops, and give participants confidence through a "start in life" that so many need in our uncertain world.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Luke Dunn

Dennistoun parking permitsIt is important for everyone in the Glasgow city council to understand, that you are about to impose an extra financial burden onto some of the most poorly paid people in the United kingdom. I live in dennistoun and I just manage to pay my way, and to ask for £85 per year to park outside my home is just another insult. I pay my council tax and I get less every year for my hard earned. This stealth tax may work in the West end where people can afford this. Make the permits affordable for the good residents.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Lewis

Child Poverty- lets put an end to holiday hungerHungry children feel anxious and they don't know why. During the school holidays, children who are entitled to free school meals are going hungry and experiencing social isolation because their parents can't afford to buy food or take them out.68 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joanne Moffat

Stop selling plastic water bottlesAfter watching the BBC programme on war on plastic and working in a school myself, I see plastic water bottles thrown around the school premises. We need to stop the demand for these bottles to be made in the first place, where better to start than in education.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paula Chivers

Continue the Dolly Parton Imagination Library in DoncasterOver the last 4.5years my eldest son has received some fantastic books from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. This has not only enhanced his love of books and stories but has encouraged him to begin to learn to read before starting school. As a parent, I think it is a great shame that such a wonderful scheme that has enabled many children to access literature, is set to close in September. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of United Kingdom is a free book gifting organisation devoted to inspiring a love of reading in the hearts of children everywhere. Each month, enrolled children receive a high quality, age appropriate book in the post, free of charge. Children receive books from birth to age five. This means my other children will never know the joy of these free monthly books, or get to share the joy of reading future wonderful stories with parents and grandparents alike. This will mean families across Doncaster will not have future access to books that land on their door step every month.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Burton

General Hospital area Residential Parking Survey - Impact on Howards GroveThe boundary ends at Howards Grove – see a full list of road names listed below. There are already weekday parking concerns, and overrun from Shirley workers and shoppers. Plus with the pending Lidl being built it will only get worse. First port of call will be Howards Grove (I work at UHSFT and know dozen’s that park in the surrounding roads near the church and Upper Shirley). It doesn’t help Church St being one way and Howards Grove being two ways as it’s the rat-run to miss out Shirley High St, or get to Sainsbury’s. Details Southampton General Hospital employs over 10,550 staff, many of whom travel to the site from across a wide area. Although the General Hospital provides parking and park & ride facilities, together with promoting travel by bus or cycle, some staff continues to commute by car and park in residential areas beyond the existing Residents Parking Zone 7. Residents raised the issues caused by staff and periodic visitor parking in their roads with Ward Councillors and in response a consultation event was held at the General Hospital in November 2017 attended by around 300 people. In the response to community concerns, a survey was then undertaken in 2018 of residents in localities agreed with Ward Councillors, to see whether they would support permit parking schemes where they live. Where the survey responses indicated community support, permit parking schemes are now being proposed. The formal 21-day public consultation will commence on 14 June 2019. The schemes would introduce parking restrictions in the following localities: • West of Warren Crescent (Zone 7 extension) locality: (Bindon Close, Bindon Road, Coxford Close, Ross Gardens, Warren Close, and Warren Crescent (36-66). • Dunkirk Road/Coxford Road locality: (Arnheim Close, Arnheim Road, Dunkirk Close, Dunkirk Road, Falaise Close, Salerno Road and Taranto Road). • Hollybrook locality: (Hunton Close, Linford Crescent, Malvern Road, Malwood Avenue, Seagarth Close, Seagarth Lane (from 21 Seagarth Lane northwards), Seymour Close and Seymour Road. • St James Park & Wilton Road locality: (Queens Road, Wilton Road (2-92 & 1-107), St. James Close, Bellemoor Road, Church Street (133-161 & 132-142), Morland Road, Shayer Road, St. James’s Road (as far south as Salem Street) and Twyford Avenue. • Maybush, Coxford & Aldermoor locality: (Alder Road (1-37, 2-26), Aldermoor Avenue, Aldermoor Road, Brightside Road, Conifer Road, Coxford Drove, Hardwicke Close, Holly Oak Court, Holly Oak Road, Larch Road, Linden Road, Myrtle Road, Olive Road, Outer Circle, Palm Road, Peach Road, Rowan Close, Thorndike Close and Thorndike Road). (Please note that if a scheme proceeds in this locality (including Olive Road), it is also proposed to change the zone for the permit parking restrictions outside 26-38 and 27-48 Olive Road to the new zone). Housing car parks within these localities are also included in the proposed permit parking schemes. All the workers that parked on roads near St James, Church St or Upper Shirley will encroach on Howards Grove. This will cause even further congestion.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew King

Parking and similar motoring fines should be frozen while you Appeal!An Appeal should be heard at the original penalty fee and not a penny more. I could also add that the Appeals process ( in my experience ) is far from fair! Citizens need to feel that even petty laws are fair and evenhanded and not weapons for jumped up officials.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by ALAN CLARK
