LIFT THE SENTENCE TO STONE A SRI LANKAN WOMAN TO DEATH FOR ADULTERYNo one should be put through an ordeal like this - especially someone with children waiting for her back home. I honestly could not believe this headline when scrolling through my facebook news feed. I once read a short story called The Lottery by Shirley Jackson in which a woman is stoned to death because she is unlucky enough to draw the unlucky ticket in the local 'lotery'. That was fantasy. This is reality; and the two should never be mixed. Please help prevent this barbaric act before it's too late. Surely we've had enough of death and murder?127 of 200 SignaturesCreated by A.N.M C

Withdraw 'The Sun' from circulationRecent headlines claiming that 1 in 5 Muslims in the UK are sympathetic to ISIS is wrong and inflammatory. The consequence of these types of headlines will undoubtably result in hate crimes against Muslims in our community. Yes, ISIS (although we should refer to them as Daesh') - are evil and have to be dealt with, but associating Muslims with them, does no one any favours, especially in this way. Lest it is forgotten that they already kill Muslims.41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Griggs

The Sun should be accountable for promoting race hatred.Because the Sun routinely headlines lies & mis-information that promotes race hatred & misunderstanding in the UK. The front page headline used on 23/11/2015 for instance may be mathematically correct but and its a big but, this depends what question was asked of the people they polled. The question is at best skewed. It's a general question and not specific. The question asked was "How do you feel about young Muslims who leave the UK to join fighters in Syria?" It didn't ask for instance which side these young people would be fighting on or if they would be jihadists. The Sun helpfully misguide their readers by adding a photograph of so called "Jihadi John".

CCTV monitoring of Yellow Box JunctionsYellow Box Junctions are, in general terms, a good thing. They allow traffic from minor roads access to main roads in heavy traffic. The problem that we have had in London for some years, and coming soon to the rest of the country, is where the council uses them as ‘money boxes’ to raise revenue thru CCTV. One west London junction raised £2.7m a year, and there are many others18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eamon O'Conchubhair

Invest Gloucestershire County Council's Pension Fund in RenewablesThe development and use of renewable energy sources is required to protect the future of all who live and work in Gloucestershire from Climate Change. The current strategy of the Pension Fund administered by Gloucestershire County Council Pension Comittee to invest many many £millions in large fossil fuel companies is compromising the future of those of us who live in Gloucestershire and those who contribute to or are receiving GCC pensions.320 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Lunnon

Support The Food Waste & Food Poverty MotionIt is estimated that supermarkets waste around 180,000 tonnes of food each year, with far higher waste in the supply chain caused by their unnecessary cosmetic standard policies, which contribute towards waste of around 3 million tonnes in the supply chain. In Norwich there are over 7,000 children living in poverty, with the effects of childhood malnutrition lasting a lifetime at a significant cost to the taxpayer, with increased spending on social services, criminal justice, healthcare and extra educational support arising from an upbringing below the breadline. The need to redistribute unsold food to those who can’t afford to feed themselves has become so urgent that a number of organisations have recently joined together to form Norwich Food Hub – which aims to collect food from supermarkets, bring it to a central city-centre location for sorting, and redistribute it to community groups helping those in food poverty. Since forming we’ve been in contact with over 15 organisations interested in receiving food, including 6 breakfast and after-school clubs for young children. By supplying to these groups alone we could be feeding over 250 people each day. Using food waste to feed the hungry is not a solution to food poverty. That should be addressed through fair and sustainable welfare policies. However whilst both food waste and food poverty co-exist we need to organise so that this food can be used to help people in need. Support from the Council would go a long way to achieving our aims and reducing food poverty in our city.373 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Rowan Van Tromp

Protect sport: Widen the protected listEnglish/British sport is being destroyed by such as Sky. Witness the lack of home players in the Premier league. That has to be stopped. Kids are growing up with an attitude that Sport only matters for the money. It is far more important than that.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Hope

Open up empty buildings in WrexhamTo plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.1,273 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Richard Carr

Save Dunstable Ashton Grammar SchoolThe building, which started life in 1888 as Dunstable Grammar School, has a Grade II listing but such a listing does not guarantee the building’s safety. It’s not unknown for developers who buy such buildings to leave them to deteriorate over a number of years and then to apply to the relevant council to have the listing set aside because of the condition of the building! Demolition can follow. The Facebook groups 'Dunstable -- Preserving the Past for the Future' and 'Dunstable Ashton Grammar School Campaign' are keen to ensure that not only the exterior but also the interior, which contains many beautiful architectural features, is not lost. The school is owned by Ashton Schools Foundation, which has put the site up for sale for housing development. Some of the school annexe buildings will be lost but it would be criminal if the main building and its features were also lost, especially as so many iconic buildings in Dunstable have already been demolished, and particularly as the town desperately needs a museum to keep its heritage alive. Please help us to preserve the building that educated such wonderful stars as the Oscar-winning Gary Cooper, Sam Kydd and the silent-screen and veteran talkies actor John Stuart, as well as Khawaja Nazimuddin (Prime Minister of Pakistan), Mike Bannister (chief pilot of Concorde), Roger Parrott (who played Neville Chamberlain in the film The King’s Speech) and Kevin McCloud MBE (presenter of Channel 4’s Grand Designs), who is already taking an active interest in preserving the school.2,627 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Tompkins

Save Royal Gunpowder MillsThe Trustees need funding, but have only approached this one commercial operation without spreading their net wider. Too much of our history is being thrown away or sold off. The Mills supplied Trafalgar,Waterloo, and were the major supplier of propellants for WW1. The visitor attraction will not be able to continue with it's heart torn out and fenced off.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Russell Orchard
