Stop the Trade Unions BillYesterday, our MPs debated the Trade Union Bill again. And the Government won. The Bill passed with 305 votes for, and 271 against. This is devastating news - but the fight goes on. As the debate moves to the House of Lords, we need to highlight the attack on democracy that is contained in the Bill. The Conservative party want to be in power for a generation, and are fixing the system to make that happen. They’re making it harder to register to vote, and are redrawing the Parliamentary map in a way that benefits them. The Bill is seeking to impose limits on minimum returns and vote percentages of total membership, for those seeking to take industrial action. This reeks of rank hypocrisy from a Government who only polled just less than 25% of the electorate, yet they deem that a clear mandate to continue with their ever more punitive and regressive policy making But that’s not all. Hidden in the Trade Union Bill is a clause that is deliberately designed to restrict trade unions supporting the Labour Party financially - while doing nothing to limit the hedge funds and millionaires that support the Tories. Another clear case of "Do as we say, Not as we do!"60 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lee Ball

Change Inverness airport's name to Inverness LOCH NESS International AirportThe vast majority of visitors to Britain fly into London, with a list of things they want to see and do. Visiting Scotland is often high on their list. LOCH NESS is arguably the most world famous destination in Scotland. People across the world recognize the name LOCH NESS. To attract more visitors we should capitalise on this. Change the name to "Inverness LOCH NESS International Airport". We will then be competing strongly with Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports. This should also help to make the new Heathrow to Inverness flights busier, thus helping to retain this vital link.108 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Feltham

Free/cheaper public transport for children under 18We are asking for all children under 18 years of age to be given free transport at the very least for school journeys. • Some children cannot afford bus/tram fare – walking could lead to crimes • Walking home is not an option; children live too far from their school; also winter is approaching Public transport is safer, there are many people; which also reduces crime rate on public transport3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Muhammad Pathan

Stop landline charge increases!Most houses still have a landline which is controlled by BT and therefore there is no real competition except for Virgin who seem to increase prices in line with copper wire providers. Consumers have no option but to pay and that includes many pensioners on fixed incomes but who may need the landline because it is required for their link to emergency services.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Wilson

20's Plenty for Stony StratfordStony Stratford is the jewel of Milton Keynes. A mandatory 20mph speed limit will make the town safer for children and adult pedestrians, cyclists and the elderly and vulnerable. 20mph is safer then 30mph. Safer streets encourage increased independent mobility for children and the elderly. It will make our town a healthier, safer place to live. Other areas of Milton Keynes have a 20mph limit. It's important that we demonstrate to Milton Keynes Council the level of local support for 20mph speed limit in Stony.254 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Louise Walker

Introduce Fair Council TaxThe present system is grossly unfair. Everybody benefits from Local Government expenditure but only a few have to pay, and then regardless of their income. Many of the poor subsidise many of the rich. Sharing a home should not exempt any of the occupants from assessment/payment.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Len Bell

Open up empty buildings to shelter the homeless in UK this WinterI have felt compelled to start this petition since meeting a homeless lad in our local train station one night, there is a piano set up at the station, I've no idea why, probably for us to entertain ourselves while we wait for yet another delayed or missing train, anyhow, this young homeless lad, his bedding wrapped around his shoulders sat at the piano and played like a professional pianist, he moved me to tears...sadly it was reported recently that the lad had passed away on the street where he had gone to sleep. Homelessness can happen to anyone at any given time, it can come from a variety of situations, young people leaving home because of abuse/familial breakdown, being thrown out, relationships breaking down, bereavement, domestic violence, job loss, rent arrears or a lot of the time just because of bad/greedy landlords. According to statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Governments Rough Sleeping in England has risen by 55% between 2010-14 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/407030/Rough_Sleeping_Statistics_England_-_Autumn_2014.pdf I'm sure you will agree with me that this is unacceptable and will see the urgency to act immediately to remedy this shameful situation otherwise how many more lives will be lost as the winter months fast approach? Please join me in telling David Cameron and the Conservative Government that instead of passing laws to criminalise homelessness they should be treating this social ill as the moral crisis it is, open up empty buildings this winter to accommodate homeless people.2,116 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen McNay

West Berkshire Mencap's Disabled Children's Short Break Funding CutsFamilies of disabled children who attend After School Club, Youth Club, Holiday Play Schemes, Residential Holidays, Saturday Clubs and Overnight Breaks at West Berkshire Mencap do so out of sheer necessity. West Berkshire Mencap support the most complex and vulnerable of children who quite literally have no other respite options. These short breaks enable families to cope with day to day life and in most cases, enable them to spend quality time with their other children who are often overlooked due to the time. Parents must invest to meet the care requirements and demands of their disabled child. Parents also use these services to enable them to access social activities, maintain friendships and relationships, access further training or to have down time to recuperate so they can continue to care for their child at home.3,733 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Pointer

Open up empty buildings to shelter the homeless in Teesside this winterTeesside has been hit severely by the actions and inactions of this Government. There are increasing numbers of the homeless, including those with long term mental health difficulties and ex Forces personnel. We should show our humanity by supporting these at this difficult time and providing them with on site statutory services to assist them.370 of 400 SignaturesCreated by David Abrahams-Edley

Collect the £120 billion in unpaid taxes by corporations like Google & StarbucksAusterity Cuts are affecting the most vulnerable people in society, as well as hard working families, local authority budgets, and the NHS as well as other public services. However the money saved through austerity is an insignificant amount when compared to the amount of money being lost through tax evasion and tax avoidance. Collection of this unpaid tax would negate the need for austerity all together and could boost the economy improve the standard of living for everyone in the UK.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Dalton
