SAY NO TO WASTE INCINERATION IN RYBURN VALLEYThis is NOT the right site or company to be operating a 24hr incineration operation. The proposal will see a 12m flue protrude from the valley bottom with an incinerator to burn waste that cannot be reclaimed. With steep sided valleys and frequent temperature inversions, fumes, smoke and particles will NOT disperse from the valley. 24 hour operations will cause noise disturbances for residents. As those living nearby know the noise travels much further due to the topography and acoustics of the alley and will be amplified during the night when there is no other ambient noise. Even run effectively this site would present potential health and quality of life issues for local residents. However, CVSH have a track record of failing to meet conditions associated with their original planning application and are subject to frequent complaints of noise, odour and environmental damage that could be avoiding with better management. The lack of pro-active environmental impact reduction and tendency to act only under duress when complaints reach critical mass do not bode well for their effective management of a waste incinerator! Please SIGN NOW to challenge their planning application and keep the Ryburn clean and free from environmental damage.1,972 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by I Stone

Ban Britain First from FacebookBritain First is hate speech. Its activities violate Facebook's community guidelines and are deliberately divisive and misleading. Hate speech must not be given a platform no matter if it has 1 or 1million likes. It is Facebook's responsibility to ensure that thier platform is not abused by hate preachers.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Oliver

FAIRNESS, TRANSPARENCY & LIVING WAGE IN HIGHER EDUCATIONBecause for many staff working in Universities their pay is squeezed while others are paid extortionately. Wage rises have not kept up with inflation, staff face job insecurity and regradings, and privatised services often pay only the legal minimum wage for working at the same site. Meanwhile private remuneration committees set the highest wages without criteria or accountability, at up to 25x the pay of staff at the same institution and pay rises of up to 40% per year. It's just not fair! This campaign is led by UNISON.148 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lorraine Fitzsimons

Lift Cap on GP referrals in North TynesideThe restriction on GP referrals was introduced in July 2015. We had heard nothing of this and it appears it was sneaked in under the carpet. The excuse given is an overuse of hospital services in particular outpatient appointments. Does anyone go to an outpatient appointment unless required?. If a GP has decided that your ailment requires further investigation or treatment that should be the case. This cap on appointments could undermines the GPs professional status. The decision to refer a patient for treatment should not be based on purely financial reasons. The Referral Management System (RMS) is a scheme with a committee that take the decision on whether a patient will be referred for further treatment or tests. (what does that committee cost?) My husband is waiting for a decision from the RMS committee. His GP is in support but states that it is outside of her control. In the meantime he has to wait. Will it be yes or no. Please sign the petition to try to stop this cut, Many thanks We had a result this morning (1st December) a referral letter arrived. It shows that a little bit of pressure goes a long way.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fiona Mathieson

Call for: Children's Unit and Dementia services for Ainsdale, SouthportWe put forward something this town has needed since 2003, a minor injuries unit for children alongside an extension to the wonderful Brookdale dementia services, already next to that site. Let’s give something back to the community that is more important to our hearts than more shops. Margaret Brown and I (Cath Regan) are the co-chairs of CARES (Coalition Against Removal of kids Emergency & other Services), the team who fought tirelessly years ago for the return of our A & E and maternity services for our children. It is about time the powers that be FINALLY did something right and good for our children and elderly. We don’t want more shops or houses; there are plenty of both lying empty in Southport, just somewhere closer than Ormskirk and Liverpool to take our sick children to. Junior doctors are currently striking and A & E units are pushed to their limits. A minor injuries unit would give us the immediate peace of mind for our children, without 4 hour waiting times at an already full A & E. It is also a ‘perfect’ location between Formby and Southport with room for parking. Let’s finally return something that should never have been taken away thirteen years ago. I ask all parents, grandparents and families to support this and make it happen.132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Regan

Bring back the Dane Park FountainDepriving the local community of an amazing centre piece to the park and is disrespectful as its a memorial to the man who donated the land in the first place to the town so we could have a park . We want our kids to see it in its working glory like we did years ago.. History..... Dane Park was previously farmland and a great local resident, John Woodward, purchased it at an auction in 1895. Mr Woodward presented the land to the inhabitants of Margate to form the park, together with additional land for forming and widening the surrounding roads and six acres of building land on the south west side of the park, with the proceeds derived from the sale to be devoted towards the expenses of the park. Dane Park was opened by the Lord Mayor of London on June 1, 1898. Dane Park had a substantial lake, rustic bridges, swans and peacocks, refreshment rooms and a bandstand. The fountain was erected by the corporation of Margate as a memorial to the late John Woodward, who was a native of Margate and a great generous man! . The lake has been filled in and the Fountain shut down and lost to the town . Shame this memorial to an enormous gesture to the town has been turned into a flower pot !! . So disrespectful to a great man...712 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Frank Leppard

Parking Spaces For Motorcycles In PinnerThere are no parking spaces for motorcycles in Pinner. I cannot park my bike in front of the shops. Got stung with a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice). The parking spaces for cars are always full all the time. I cannot park in the disabled parking spaces (I am profoundly deaf, which therefore makes me disabled so I should be able to park my bike in these spaces - the chances of a wheelchair user needing the space to park his/her car is very slim), I parked my bike in the disabled bays and got stung twice withe the PCN both on the same day which is just way way way beyond ridiculous. There's nowhere to park my bike in Pinner if I need to do some shopping in Pinner. If I cannot park my bike in front of the shops, the car spaces are always full and I cannot park in the disabled spaces, then where am I going to park my bike if I want to do some shopping in Pinner????? I don't want to get stung by the blasted PCN yet again! They already have parking spaces for bikes in Harrow and Uxbridge. Why should Pinner miss out? The shopkeepers in Pinner will want to attract and encourage business to Pinner. Plus bikes are greener than cars. If Harrow Council wants to claim it has green credentials, then they should consider setting aside some parking spaces for bikes in Pinner so that bikers and scooter riders (I ride a 125 c.c. motorised scooter) can park their bikes in Pinner whenever they want to go shopping in Pinner. Not every biker is a Hell's Angels-type biker.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Chapman

Say No to bombing campaig against ISISBecause it's a really bad idea. Everyone is appalled by the terrorist acts in Paris instigated by ISIS and the easy reaction is to back the idea of bombing ISIS in revenge. If I beleived it help stop ISIS I would agree with it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately the reality is trying to bomb ISIS would play right into their hands and act as recruiting agent. Jürgen Todenhöfer one of the only journalists to speak to ISIS know the reality of this. Your heart will say back the French and attempt to bomb ISIS. Your head should say it's the worst idea posible.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Morris

No to UK air strikes in SyriaThe UK should not be involved in air strikes in Syria. We should have no military involvement as a country. The UK should only be involved as a member of the UN and contribute an even military action etc evenly with all other members. What good did out involvement in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya achieve.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by david west
