Stop the 73% cuts to youth services in SouthwarkThe council plans to cut £2.5million from the youth service budget leaving less than one million to work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in London. We have 13 youth projects in the voluntary sector which could suffer as well as 8 youth centres as part of this 73% cuts. What will be left for young people in this Borough? The council promised not to cut front line services yet this is being proposed. We would also lose experienced and specialist workers in the sector as the services would transfer to the Environment and Leisure department. This will de-professionalise and de-skill professional youth workers leaving little to no varied provision. They are planning to delete ALL 122 full and part time jobs and replacing them with 42 part time posts. Southwark News report: 19.11.15 Richard Taylor, founder of the Damilola Taylor Centre after his ten-year-old son was killed on the Peckham estate, said this was no time to cut youth services as serious knife crime continued to blight the borough. “Bearing in mind the level of killing, stabbing and violence, this is not the right time. This is the wrong approach and a bad decision for the council. As Jeremy Corbyn has said 'austerity is a political choice'. Southwark must not abandon young people while sitting on millions of pounds of reserves which can be used to support the local community along with the fight to get more money from central government. Southwark Trades Council will be campaigning with the local government unions and community to stop these cuts. We will be lobbying the Council Assembly and have asked for a deputation at the Cabinet on Wednesday 24th November. Please join us.

Implement attendance related pay for WestminsterThis is important because it seems that they pick and choose when they want to work for us and when they have something better to do. For example the Climate Change debate which happened on the day I created this petition. It had a 10% attendance level. When they debated their own wages there was a full house. In any other workplace we would all be facing disciplinary action if we decided to pick and choose when to turn up to work. Attendance related pay would ensure that they can be bothered to do the job they said they would do when asking for our votes once every five years.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Spencer

Use the word Daesh not Isis or So Called Islamic StateI would like the BBC to acknowledge the power of words to unify or divide. Most members of the public are now familiar with the term Daesh and know that it is the same as Isis but it does not acknowledge any link to correct Islamic practice. At a time when Daesh is using propaganda to drive a wedge between Muslims and Non-Muslims, the BBC has to be aware of the affects of the choices of its words and unfortunately there is no neutral word in this circumstance.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Ransom

Build More Storage Container Homes in Brighton & HoveI have been homeless for a few years myself, I have suffered along with many other homeless people in the city and as a Brightonian myself should not be in position where I could potentially be on the streets by Christmas. The are vulnerable people out there on the streets a nightly basis, suffering from mental illness, substance abuse and poor health, we walk past these on a daily basis along western road, but we need to help them and myself. Having a stable home with a secure tenancy will help to change peoples lives, we can save money on public services by rehabilitating people and start to put right the wrongs of the past. There obviously has to be a master plan for housing, on average since 1991 the council have only built 100 homes a year, this is unacceptable. If you live the in the City you will understand, rents are too high, wages aren't enough to keep up with ever increasing living costs its just not right. The council will have money on housing benefit payments paid to private landlords. Please help the cities homeless by signing the petition today. Thank you36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Johnson

WE WANT PEACEThis is very important for the humanity. Peace will end the suffering of millions of people in the world and create stability everywhere and allow the earth to flourish. There will not be need to kill or be killed every one's life matter, rather than profit of weapons manufacturers. Peace and abolishing the use of weapons including nuclear will protect the climate of the earth as well. Interference of the UK in wars is not bringing any good to anyone but the weapon trade and we do not want to sacrifice our children and kill people for this ugly business.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nada Najar

Definition of affordable homesThe government have said an affordable home is up to £250k outside London and £450k inside but even with a reduction of 20% it it still 5 or 6 times an average family annual income. It's important so that first time buyers can get on the ladder.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Lenton

Stand Up for Stirchley - Save Fitness First and PSL BowlingOn 22nd December 2016 Birmingham City Council’s Planning Committee approved Lidl’s application to build a new supermarket on the Pershore Road site currently occupied by Fitness First Stirchley and PSL Bowling. Having previously rejected the application, the decision left the whole community, including its local councillors (across several political parties), shocked and disappointed. The community came together and petitioned against this decision, mounting a legal challenge with the Environmental Law Foundation. We were successful, and Birmingham City Council agreed to quash the application, admitting their errors. The latest news is that Lidl allegedly want to buy the land regardless. We are disgusted by this behaviour and petition Birmingham City Council to support us in saving our leisure facilities. We also petition Lidl to reconsider other vacant sites in Stirchley, of which there are plenty. We feel that this site is the wrong location for the Lidl store for the following reasons: Loss of PSL Bowling - a family run, independent business that supports local economy. Nearest alternative approximately 4 miles away Loss of Fitness First Stirchley – a popular fitness gym with over 3800 members amidst reports of a growing obesity crisis costing Birmingham over £2 billion every year Loss of jobs – 62+ people are set to lose their jobs across the 2 sites with Lidl only committing to 20 full time staff Further traffic disruption – concerns over increased volume of traffic on an already highly congested route and impact on residents parking Alternative Stirchley sites available – derelict site owned by Tesco and proposed new Aldi store on Magnet site Already enough supermarkets – 19 supermarkets in a 3 mile radius2,607 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Steve Bridger

Do Not Bomb Syria -We do not know who Cameron will really be giving orders to our Air Force to bomb,.We do not know for sure that Britain is not arming IS in order to bring the Syrian Government down, in order to impose an American chosen Islamic dictatorship in Syria. We are getting conflicting reports but what we do know for sure is that we shall bomb Syrian civilians. Give peace a chance even if it means British Arms sales suffer.106 of 200 SignaturesCreated by ostarra langridge

Save the New White Bull in Nottingham from DemolitionThe New White Bull is a community asset acknowledged by Broxtowe Borough Council in its decision to list the pub as an Asset of Community Value (ACV). A national brewer formerly owned the pub but refused to sell it to the local Blue Monkey brewery, which is based just around the corner and apparently would dearly love to use the New White Bull as its brewery tap. The site was initially sold to become a supermarket and is now earmarked for demolition for housing. But it could still be a viable and thriving community pub. The New White Bull has been a public house since at least 1876 (Post Office Directory) and so has given some 140 years of service to the local community. With your help, it could give another 140 years as a public house. Please sign this petition to protect the New White Bull.1,642 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nick Molyneux

Re-opening the independent living fund for disabled peopleThis petition is important as it will widely help disabled people live their life independently and efficiently. 18,000 people with high support needs relied on the fund and said it "transformed their life". The fund has recently been closed resulting in changing peoples lives greatly in a negative way. This petition may contribute towards re-opening the independent living fund even if it is a small difference. Please take a couple of minutes out of your time to sign up for this campaign. It will be greatly appreciated :)31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sonia Haider

Keep CQC registration fees reasonableThe 567% increase in fees payable to the Care Quality Commission for Primary Care registration will financially cripple many Primary Care Providers and will negatively impact upon service provision. Practices could find themselves in a position where they are closing branch surgeries in order to move down a bracket in the fee structure, i.e. pay less fees for one site rather than two. This will adversely affect the quality of care we provide, as practices will have no option but to cut services and personnel in order to meet the extortionate fee currently being suggested. Such an action would be damaging to the patient/doctor relationship and would discriminate against patients with disabilities/those unable to travel to other branch sites. This would conflict with the CQC commitment to ensure “that people receive safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care”. We respectfully request a review of the Primary Care Registration Fees structure, as we do not feel that a rise in fees of 567% is justified in any way.1,424 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Hayward
