• Roll out “Scores on the Doors” disabled accessibility ratings accross the UK
    If bars and restaurants displayed accessibility ratings: It would be easier for disabled people find establishments that meet needs. I believe disabled people should have the same choices and options as everyone else. It would highlight a lack of facilities in areas of towns or cities and hopefully drive change to make places more accessible. It would make people think about disabled access and facilities when they build public places such as bars and restaurants.

  • Save Ward 6 Bishop Auckland Hospital
    This is of vital importance for people of the County Durham area. We are a nurse led unit who admit patients from Acute sites who are medically fit for discharge but may need more social input or would be unsafe to discharge home for example dementia patients, non- weight bearing patients and obese patients. The plans for these patients now is to discharge home for district nurses to see to but there are no proposals to increase the number of district nurses and when people spoke to them they were not aware of the proposals or how they were going to staff them!

  • Road Safety Measures for Long Road Lawford
    It's important because it's an accident waiting to happen especially in the afternoon when there is no crossing patrol to help parents and children to cross this extremely busy road. My 3yr old daughter and in-laws were involved in a near miss crossing this road on 4/10/18. Following a message on social media I have found out in the last month since the school returned from summer break there have been at least three other near miss incidents and one child has been knocked over. A crossing has been talked about for years on this site but nothing has been done. With all the extra traffic created by the new housing estates in the area the situation is only going to get worse. We need Essex Highways to take action ASAP before a serious accident occurs.

  • No more plastic waste in the oceans and help clean it all up
    The plastic in the ocean is set to double in the next 5 years! It's now already too much. It's now or never. The tipping point for plastic has been long over run now. Please watch this bbc documentary that was aired this week. Its a ticking time bomb that is fast running out. The dolphins and the fish and whales can't do it, so we have to! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bmbn47/drowning-in-plastic Plastic is in the arctic, plankton at the bottom of the ocean, and has been found to transmit diseases to coral (only discovered a year ago) and potentially humans and all mammalian life.

  • New Youth Clubs For Peterborugh - UK
    This is important because the amount of anti-social behaviour is increasing rapidly. This can also help reduce crime within the area if the younger generation are surrounded with a happy, more fun, environments where they can meet new people and try new things.

  • ReFit - prominent traffic light recycling information on packaging
    The current detailed recycling information on packaging (while necessary) is often complex, and doesn't allow the consumer to make rapid and informed judgements on packaging when shopping. The system will succeed because it is voluntary. The population will drive change through market forces. Companies who use environmentally friendly packaging will be keen to display the logo (and thus gain sales), companies using non-recyclable packaging could lose sales and will thus be encouraged to adopt recyclable packaging with a greater urgency. This scheme will work because it is simple. It's a rapid way to push through change without waiting for Government to legislate. There really can't be any excuses when it comes to the environment. 'ReFit' is a short form for 'Fit for Recycling'.

  • Wembley must stay in English ownership
    When everything worth having in the UK is being sold off to foreign investors it seems about right that Wembley Football Stadium will be added to the list. But no one seems to realize that its our proud heritage, the one place that all that is good in English football comes together, players and supporters alike, it belongs to Englands proud supporters!. It is said that it would be better to play England games at local Grounds to allow more people to gain access to the matches but nothing is said about Pride, Joy, experience and Atmosphere created all be it expensive taking into account travelling expenses and ticket costs for a very special day, its a day out to be remembered for years to come. As for Grass Roots Football I am sure that the Premiership teams would not miss a small percentage of the cash allocated by the FA each year if it given to the teams that could benefit from the extra money, and I do not think this will effect premier teams too much as it just means reducing huge payments to players by a small amount knowing that they are helping teams and supporters from the very pool that the future of English football comes from. Come on Greg Clarke and Martin Glenn football should not be all about making Money, surely there is room for Passion, Heritage, Tradition and our Football History!, not Greed. Leave Wembley Alone.

  • Ban the importation of animal fur into UK
    100 million+ animals are killed for their fur every year and 30 million of those are killed in fur farms where the lives of these animals commonly end by having their necks broken, being gassed or being electrocuted. The gassing is not always effective, and animals are sometimes still alive while being skinned. The Agreement on International Trapping Standards is aimed at the protection of the practice of trapping of wild animals for their fur with ‘humane’ standards. However, the trapping of wild animals for their fur can never be benign, the standards set in this agreement fall well below humane standards defined by veterinarian experts in the UK.

  • Challenging the DBS system
    The DBS system is designed to show if people have convictions. Being homeless is not a crime. Within the care sector we cannot employ people without a DBS. Being homeless prevents people from being able to obtain a police record check which will prove that they are not a criminal. being homeless could happen to ANY if us and is NOT a crime. There is currently around 11,000 care vacancies in this country right now. Legislation needs to be changed to be more inclusive.

  • Black plastic trays
    Currently most black plastic is not recycled. Many local councils do not have the equipment to recycle it and therefore it goes to Landfill. Black plastic trays (used for meat, vegetables and ready-made meals) could easily be replaced with clear plastic trays which are recycled. Supermarkets continue to supply products to market over-packaged and worse in non-recyclable packaging with little regard for the environment. I am asking supermarkets to make a change and reduce the load to landfill. Please stop using black plastic trays.
