Save Our Cycling CentreThis will enable the return of a safe cycle space for all, and for the centre to be run for the community, by the community. The Glasgow Green cycling centre is not just a patch of ground with bikes on it. It is nothing without the workers, volunteers and service-users who made it what it was: A safe, inclusive community which provided a shared experience for all. We are campaigning to recreate that cycling centre - for cycling lessons, led rides, disability cycling, bike repair and volunteering. We want a safe space for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy cycling. Free Wheel North sacked its workforce with immediate effect on 21st September. They claimed that there was no funding left to pay wages and that the cycling centre was making a loss of £10,000 a month. But the financial figures they provided changed - literally - from one day to the next. Staff were sacked before they had a chance to challenge the final set of figures. Committed volunteers with years of experience were dumped. The centre is now being run by Free Wheel North Directors and inexperienced volunteers. This needs to change. Free Wheel North should be held to account for undemocratic governance. Prior to the redundancies, other organisations were interested in taking over the lease to keep the staff in their jobs, and to keep the volunteers in their posts. They are still interested in taking over the lease and running it properly, with due care to Health and Safety, PVG checks, welfare of staff, volunteers and service users, and providing a safe, inclusive environment. The Office of Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) has an open inquiry into FWN due to the number of concerns raised throughout 2022.1,045 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Carol Thompson

Days of pay lost over bus timetables and bus services in North CornwallNorth Cornwall is predominantly rural, linked by narrow winding roads. With the older population emerging from the pandemic into a transformed world, changes in bus services, timetables, and schedules have impacted the community. Accessing NHS appointments, commuting to work, and attending social gatherings have become challenging for residents. https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/2zapavgh/ltp-summary-document-52380-web.pdf The Plymouth City bus service we receive here in North Cornwall is not delivering on The Transport Plan.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robyn Harris

Save our Doggy Day CareDog Day Care has become a popular and valuable service which provides important needs for dogs such as exercise, socialisation and all day care enabling owners to go to work. There are so many benefits for dogs who attend daycare: they are more content, better behaved, well socialised around other dogs, less anxious and easier to train. Day care also creates a safe place for dogs to run around freely without disturbing members of the public. It's also secure so that dogs who have a high prey drive or cannot be trusted off lead can play and interact safely. Crufty Pups Creche played an important part and worked safely throughout Covid, meaning that key workers could still go to work and vunerable owners could isolate whilst still meeting the needs of their pets. We feel that this also prevented some dogs from having to be re homed or developing behaviours such as anxiety or losing confidence with social skills. If Crufty Pups Creche were removed from the land, we would be faced with little option but to close altogether since the set up costs to relocate would not be affordable. Not only is this place valuable to dog owners, but also the staff, volunteers, students who complete work experience with us and all of the dogs who spend their days with us. Please help us by signing this petition which I will be presenting to the council along with my special circumstances planning application.979 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Nicky Griffiths

Make being a Member of Parliament a full time jobBeing an MP is a full time job. It is not something that should be done with half measures. Right now during a cost of living crisis and government unrest, it is of extreme importance that all MPs serve their constituencies the best they can. Taking on second jobs or going on holidays outside of parliamentary recess can simply not be better for the good of constituents and the UK as a whole. When someone decides to become a teacher, they do so knowing it means they will be limited on when they can go on holiday. If you choose to run for Parliament it should be with the same understanding.90,732 of 100,000 SignaturesCreated by john clutterbuck

He's no celebrity - stop Matt Hancock appearing on I'm a CelebrityMatt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules. The fact that he is trying to cash in on his terrible legacy, rather than showing some humility or seeking to reflect on the appalling consequences of his time in Government says it all about the sort of his person he is. Families were ripped apart by Matt Hancock’s actions, and turning on the TV to see him being paraded around as a joke is sickening. If he had any respect for families who lost loved ones to Covid-19, he would be sharing his private emails with the Covid Inquiry, not eating bugs on TV. Then again, perhaps if those emails came to light no TV station would touch him with a barge pole. ITV should do the decent thing and remove him from the programme.Over 200,000 people lost their lives to Covid-19 across the UK. Matt Hancock was at the very centre of decisions such as locking down late, allowing large scale sporting events to go ahead as the virus ran rampant and failed to get our healthcare workers the PPE they needed. On top of that he was fired after breaking the rules he helped set. His profiteering and shameless search for publicity in the run up to his book launch is another insult to already grieving families.46,023 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice

King Charles should go to COP27!Our country would be both discourteous and give the impression of a downgrading of our commitment to action on this, the greatest challenge ever to confront the human race, if he is hindered from participation. In contrast, a strong groundswell of support for the King's attendance would send a message to the Conference and to our leaders here in the UK.126 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Golding

Porthleven pier safety railsPorthleven is a small traditional fishing village in Cornwall. Every year they hold a food festival that serves alcohol all day every day and is wide open to the sea, with no safety rails off the harbour or pier. My friends life was lost this year and safety modern day measures need to come into place before anyone else is lost. The dates for the next festival have been released for April 23. Barriers and safety measures need to be put into place even if its just short term whilst the festival is on. Closure of the pier from 6pm till 6am whilst the drink fuelled festival weekend takes place needs to be implemented at the very least. This old Cornish town traditional food festival has obviously grown in modern times and tourism and volume and popularity, but unfortunately the safety of the Porthleven small fishing village has remained as it was many centuries ago. There are no safety barriers or lights on a pier that goes straight out to an aggressive sea.298 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Anna Henry

Oppose Arun District Council building a 4-bedroom Airbnb in River Road, ArundelThe garages in River Road are in very poor condition and need to be demolished. But instead of rebuilding the garages or replacing them with badly needed open resident parking space, which is what Arundel Town Council have advocated from the outset, Arun District Council (ADC) are determined to build a 4-bedroom Airbnb on the site. We have been arguing against this scheme for months, but ADC simply will not listen. This petition is being organised to trigger a debate in Arun District Council. We need 1,500 signatures from people who live in Arun District to make this debate happen, so if you want to stop the Airbnb being built please sign this petition and get every person in your household to do so also. Anyone over 16 years old who lives in Arun District can validly sign this petition. If you have any questions please contact the Town Clerk at The Town Hall [email protected] Tel: 01903 882954 option 2. Other ways to sign: • Look out for a petition form through your door, sign and return to collection boxes in Arundel Post Office, Larkins and Hillside Stores or Arundel Town Council, The Town Hall, Maltravers Street, Arundel, BN18 9AP. • Sign the petition at the Town Hall For your signature to count on a paper petition you must provide your name, signature, full postal address including postcode. Arundel Town Council and residents oppose this plan. We believe: • It is dangerous to encourages visitors to drive to this location. This is a narrow road, with no pavement, and driving down Brewery Hill or turning left off Arun Street to access the location are hazardous if you are a visitor and unfamiliar with these roads. • There is not a shred of evidence to support Arun District Council’s claim that another Airbnb will increase visitor numbers and thereby deliver economic benefit in Arundel. We have asked to see ADC’s research report that supports this claim - there is no such report. There are already more than enough Airbnbs in Arundel. • Arundel needs more off-street parking sites. • A 4-bedroom Airbnb is likely to be a ‘party house’ to the detriment of the other residents in this narrow road in the conservation area. • It is inappropriate for the District Council to be making speculative investments of this kind.522 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Tracy Clayton

The English Football League should not be sponsored by a gambling companyThe government must take immediate action on the relationship between gambling and football, following the revelation that the EFL sponsorship deal with Sky Bet has resulted in clubs taking a cut of their own fans’ gambling losses. The largest perpetrator of gambling harm is not football itself, it’s gambling companies who exploit the sport and fans for obscene profit. The Sky Bet sponsorship of the football league means that all 72 clubs are essentially forced to advertise gambling on their shirts, in their stadiums and on their websites – even if they don’t want to. This is unacceptable and this latest development is the final straw in a relationship that has clearly gone too far. Only last year, Sky Betting and Gaming was fined £1.2million by the Gambling Commission for sending 100 “free spins” to self-excluded gamblers, many of whom were recovering from gambling disorder. We urge you to legislate against gambling companies from sponsoring our national sport. There are now multiple EFL clubs such as Luton Town, Bolton Wanderers, Tranmere Rovers and Forest Green Rovers who deserve praise and recognition for thriving without gambling sponsorship – it's time for every club to do the same. With the vast amount of gambling profits coming from a small percentage of customers, we know much of this money will come from addiction, from destroyed families and from those who have taken their life due to gambling. There are millions of people either at risk or already addicted to gambling in the UK and many more being severely harmed by a gambler’s addiction. Worse still, Public Health England estimates there are 409 yearly gambling-related deaths in England alone, more than one every day. It is undeniable that football is so often the starting point that draws young people into years of harm for them and their loved ones. Football brings joy to fans and communities. But benefiting directly from the promotion of an addictive product is at odds with this commendable work.22,464 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by FootballSupporters AgainstGamblingAds

Sign the petition: Sack Suella Braverman from her position as Home SecretarySuella Braverman used inflammatory language about Refugees - comparing their arrival in the UK to an "invasion". Her words came just days after a migrant centre in Kent was attacked. These kind of dangerous words stoke hatred and even her own party's MPs have condemned her for them. This comes less than two weeks after, Suella Braverman was forced to resign as Home Secretary after admitting she broke ministerial code and sent confidential documents outside the government from her private email. Five days later new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reappointed her in the exact same post! In her role as Home Secretary she will have access to sensitive information around matters of national security. Rishi Sunak is playing games to appease different parts of the Conservative Party while putting our national security in the hands of someone who has proven they can't be trusted to handle confidential and sensitive information securely. The Prime Minister must rethink his decision to reappoint Suella Braverman and put our country before his party.120,204 of 200,000 Signatures

Sign the petition: stop cuts to our NHS and public services by taxing the super richThe new prime minister, Rishi Sunak, is looking to cut money from our NHS and struggling public services. He is looking for a way to pay for the disastrous budget decisions made by his predecessor Liz Truss. But with services like the NHS at breaking point we can’t take another round of cuts. Meanwhile the super rich just keep getting richer. We need to start taxing their wealth to support our struggling public services. For example, a 1% tax on super rich people with assets worth over £10 million could bring in £10 billion a year. This money could be put straight back into the NHS and our public services. The government has to act. Rishi Sunak must raise money by taxing the super rich – they must pay their share. With our NHS under severe strain, it’s never been more important for the super rich to pay more tax.14,217 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Oscar Webb
