Talk to who?Mental health is one of the front campaigns that our government are highlighting recently advising ‘its good to talk’. That’s great but to who. Our NHS mental health sector has no money to deliver enough quality and qualified people to talk to. The waiting lists are horrendous. People are suffering, families don’t understand, friends are few and far between. Yes, it’s good to talk, talking can resolve many a problem, but if there is nobody we can rely on and the mental health services can not provide this support then WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TALK TO? no good talking to a wall. People suffering do not want to pick up the phone and talk to a stranger, it’s hard enough picking up the phone when it’s someone we know. Provide a service where people can be seen within days/weeks not months/years4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicki Pagani

Zebra Crossing for The Orion Primary SchoolThe new parking restrictions that Barnet council have implemented mean that people will no longer be able to park near the school and children are going to have to cross the main road. It is only a matter of time before there is an accident. The council have put 5 zebra crossings near the roundabout at the top of Colindale Avenue and Beaufort park - we want 2 near the school.319 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Flynn

Not Prostitutes but Sex WorkersThe terms "prostitute", "whore" and "hooker", to name but a few, are out-dated and judgemental. Sexual services are, and have for millennia, been used for by a wide spectrum of people, from those in the highest echelons of society to the most "ordinary" person. The people who provide sexual services have the right to be respected and recognised, and not judged. They should be universally known as "sex workers" to reflect what they really do.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Barrett

Petition for Avon Pension Fund to end investment in fossil fuelsAs a fund member I am calling for divestment from this destructive industry and reinvestment of our money so it contributes to building a positive and sustainable future. 1. A climate emergency has been declared by local councils including Bristol, North Somerset South Gloucestershire and Bath & North East Somerset among over 100 local authorities in this country; 2. The Governor of the Bank of England has warned funds of the risk of ‘stranded assets’ if they continue to hold fossil fuel stocks; 3. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has given the world until 2030 to take action to reduce carbon emissions or face climate breakdown; 4. Around the world pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, investment houses and others have committed to divest from fossil fuels; 5. Avon Pension Fund now invests through the Brunel Pensions Partnership and has started to invest in a low carbon fund (though this fund does not exclude carbon intensive stocks); 6. This is the pension fund members’ money and fund members in local Unison branches have repeatedly resolved to seek this divestment. Unison has also called nationally and locally for divestment.1,302 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Conan Connolly

Give families help to buy reusable nappies and wipesReusable alternatives are easier to use than ever and the mountain of waste created by just one baby in disposables is shocking. They take far too long to break down and are clogging our rivers and waterways. I'm asking the government to provide vouchers to pregnant women to enable everyone to try cloth nappies. Even using them part time can make a huge difference. Some councils currently offer help, but it's not nationwide and many people don't even know the help is available.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Gilbert

Free Travel For Kent ChildrenFollowing an extortionate rise in the bus fares for school children, we would like the council to give us free bus travel for school age children as is the scheme for children living in London. Children in Kent often live in communities that are rural or semi rural and have difficulty getting to school so rely on a bus service. The recent increase has made this too expensive for a lot of families, especially those with more than one child.2,422 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Suzie Skelton

Dyslexia assesments to be mandatory in primary schools.Students are reaching university not knowing they're dyslexic and not getting the support they need. Grades would significantly improve, for example I get A's in my exams and D's in my written assigment making me pass, however if I'd of recognised my dyslexia sooner I would of done better. Students have sued the council for school's not testing them, this is because schools are meant to recognise it and continue to fail. I therefore believe this clearly isn't enough as so many go without diagnoses and support.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Katy Curran
