• Make all Rainham buses stop at the train station
    There is currently only one bus (103) that operates directly outside of Rainham Essex c2c rail station, however there are three other buses that operate in the local area. Therefore, we want the Mayor and Transport for London to direct the 287, 372, and 165 buses to stop at the Rainham Interchange bus stop (outside Rainham station). This new bus route will enable people to more easily change between buses and the train, at any time of the day. By introducing this additional bus stop, it will connect the 287, 372, and 165 buses to the 103 and provide those with specific mobility requirements with better access to different modes of transport. In addition to the station, the bus stop also directly serves Rainham Library and its nursery so the justification for better connections to it seems overwhelming. This bus stop also has better shelter for people to stand under in bad weather than Rainham War Memorial (D) bus stop, which all buses currently stop at. Residents and commuters will have a direct route towards the station and back home without having to walk through the dark, in bad weather, or out of their way to another bus stop. This will reduce the number of local and short car journeys that drop off and pick people up from the station.

  • Stop bird food in plastic nets
    Not only can birds easily get trapped in the nets. Larger birds might actually eat the whole net. Such is seen in this video of a seagull. https://m.facebook.com/groups/498560990231804?view=permalink&id=1269610916460137

  • Stop the inequality that exists in pain management in the NHS
    Pain management is an important part of treating people with chronic pain so that they can continue living their lives and functioning on a day to day basis. My mum has fibromyalgia and a degenerative spinal condition and neck. She has been offered very little help on the NHS but she was receiving steroid injections every three months that enabled her to walk again and function on a daily basis. Her commissioning group in Nottingham have now decided that they will no longer offer this service and she has received a letter informing her that if she wants to continue receiving the treatment she will have to pay £550 a time. If she lived in Derbyshire she could continue to receive this treatment for FREE. My mum is 73, she worked all of her life and has paid into the NHS and taken very little out. It is completely unfair to expect my mum who only has her pension to live on to find this money when other people are receiving the treatment for FREE. I understand that the NHS doesn't have money for everything but these injections have been keeping my mum out of a wheelchair and able to walk, able to exercise and able to live her life without the constant pain that she has to endure on a daily basis. The only alternative she is ever given is opiate pain killers which are known to be addictive and do nothing but make her feel ill. Please help me to raise awareness of the inequality that exists in the services that are offered for those who need chronic pain management and campaign for the Nottingham commissioning group to reinstate these services and offer some hope for those with chronic pain to continue receiving treatment for FREE. Health care should not be a postcode lottery. The government have caused this lottery by allowing local areas to commission their own services that they feel will benefit their areas this is causing massive inequalities in health care. The government should ensure that all patients have access to services regardless of where they live. I therefore call upon the government to end the postcode lottery that exists in health care and ensure that everyone has the same access to services.

  • Ban Polystyrene Cups, Cutlery and Plates
    This is as bad as plastic bags, plastic straws and non-biodegradable coffee cups. Posh coffee and tea are served in paper-like cups and cheap coffee and tea are served in polystyrene cups and is an equally huge problem for our environment to cope with. Worse than plastic it breaks down into tiny bits and finds its way into our oceans. Sadly then it is ingested by our wildlife and fish.

  • Recycling at BDC
    We need to lead by example and show the students that our planet is important and that we must look beyond our selves at the bigger picture. The college produces a huge amount of waste a day that is ending up in landfills which could easily be recycled. As a college we have no excuse for not recycling!

  • Keep sexism out of the olympics.
    This petition was started on International Women's Day 2018. It is on days like this when we can reflect on the mistakes of the past and look at ways of avoiding those mistakes in the future. During the first modern Olympic games in 1896, women were excluded completely on the grounds that their inclusion would be, "impractical, uninteresting, unaesthetic and incorrect". It wasn't until 1900 that women were actually allowed to compete. 118 years later, women are still segregated from men in Olympic sports and there are still several disciplines where women are excluded completely. It is time for this to end and by signing this petition we are sending a strong message to the Olympic Committee that it is time for all segregation to stop, for all athletes to be allowed to compete together and for athletic ability to be judged and awarded equally regardless of gender.

  • Check every child for tongue tie at birth.
    The Scottish Government promote breastfeeding as being best for baby and provide literature about positioning and attachment but when a baby has a tongue tie sometimes no amount of repositioning can help the excruciating pain it causes for the mother and tongue tied babies also often struggle to transfer milk. As babies need fed very often a tongue tie can cause terrible anguish for the mother and make her give up. Tongue ties are becoming increasingly common and a simple procedure is all it takes to remedy them so all babies should be checked at birth.

  • Free Parking For Hereford Halo Leisure at the Swimming Pool
    After paying £400+ for a membership at Hereford Halo Leisure pool, you then have to pay for parking each time you attend. With wanting to go 5 days a week for a good 2 hours that would cost an extra £15 a week. Resulting in £700 a year. Making the membership £1000 a year which is just crazy! I’ve made this petition as I know a lot of other people have the same issue and I think if you’ve paid £400+ for a membership, free parking should be included. People can’t justify paying parking on top of the membership so take their membership elsewhere (Holmer Park/wye leisure/Alexander park) if parking was included in the halo membership I truly believe they’d get so much more business. So hopefully if we get enough signatures, management will start to concider it.

  • HELP FOR those with Autism in Halton
    Because having only 1 Autism/Asperger group mainly for kids there is no official group for adults on the autism spectrum in Halton B.C so i feel the council is not doing enough to give help providing a group to socialize with other people with the same conditions

  • Stop McDonalds using plastic straws
    UK McDonalds Resteraunt and takeaways are responsible for Millions of plastic straws being thrown away every week. If they switched to using paper straws for their drinks, it'd be a huge step forward in the fight against the plastic pollution choking our seas. On an average day, 3.5 million people buy a drink in McDonalds- Each drink has a plastic straw. Every straw ever made is still in existence. 😭 Please sign the petition urging McDonalds to stop using plastic straws.
