Leasehold Reforms Must Apply To Shared OwnershipShared Ownership is just as flawed and toxic as 100% Leasehold. Shared Ownership needs legal reform to address these issues: 1. Lease extension premiums must be affordable. It has been left unregulated and unchecked, housing associations can, and do, charge 100% premium to extend! not 'affordable' or fair. You should pay your % owned of the premium not any more. 2. Selling shared ownership houses is complicated and costly. High admin fees and extensive fees are just the start 3. Unregulated and unchecked service charges are a huge issue - you are paying your council tax twice 4. Staircasing is overally complicated, not encouraged, and extremely costly in legal fees/admin fees alone. Shared Ownership is supposed to promote buying your home not hinder it 5. Rents are reviewed at RPI which seems unfair considering CPIH is used in housing costs, not RPI. 6. Housing Associations should have some financial responsibility to the house since they own a actual stake in the property.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by sophie whitmore

CHC FUNDING FOR DEMENTIA SUFFERERSTo ensure that free care is offered to alI patients who need 24 hour care for what ever reason are provided with information about continuing healthcare. Dementia care is a prime example of this. As a family we have had to fight to get this process under way and sadly it appears each council cherry picks bits of the The National Framework to suit themselves, even though The Framework states different And is backed up by caselaw. Nobody should have to see a loved one fade away in front of them and then have to deal will bullish bureaucracy.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Annette Burnett

Invest in additional car parking in Locke Park & implement parking permits for local residentsOver the last few years, the number of events in Locke Park has steadily increased meaning more & more people enjoy what is a wonderful community space. However, that increase in footfall hasn't seen increased investment for parking & the recent double yellow lines on one side of the road has exacerbated the problem. On top of this, the council's decision to grant business licenses to residential properties on the road & the continued use of these homes as HMOs is adding more demand for the very limited amount of space.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Liam Dyson

Ban the import, fishing, purchase and sale of Shark/Shark Fins in the UK.According to many conservative estimates from multiple sources, 100,000,000 sharks are slaughtered for their fins every year. That’s roughly 274,000 sharks a day. That's nearly double the population of the UK - Dying every year. We need regulations now, to protect these species imperil. Fishermen will hack the fins off living sharks and simply throw the rest of their bodies overboard, allowing them to bleed to death. Sinking fin-less, slowly to the bottom of the sea. Shark finning is a wasteful, barbaric practice, but it also has a devastating impact on our oceans. The use of these atrocious practices in the name of archaic traditions and cultures, must stop. How are we to grow as a species if we continue to act like our poorly educated predecessors. We have no excuse.24 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Liam Right
