Bus service for residents on the quay and Riverside viewThe Riverside view estate is quite isolated and can be dangerous to walk to and from. With the wagons that speed down the quay with no obvious speed limit indicated and the industrial estate behind is a hazard to walk through. The nearest bus service is the 11 from the marsh which is 15-20 minute walk away, or a 35 minute walk into the town centre which can be issue for young families, people who are unable to drive, disabled and the elderly.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Leanne Owens

Make UK government recognise same-sex relationships in divorce lawCurrently, if you enter a same-sex affair, whether you are in a heterosexual marriage or a same-sex one, the affair is not considered adultery. This is because the UK law around this does not recognise a same-sex relationship in the same way it recognises a heterosexual one. This is not equality.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by L SCHORN

Gambling adverts on tv and everywhere on the internetIt's important because they are using techniques which give you a little and take a whole lot more back like a stereotypical drug dealer offering you a little try to get you to buy into it... I believe it's a scam and only destruction can come from it to the majority.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danny Storton

The Crimea Monument. SheffieldThe Crimea Monument is a listed war memorial, It was errected in memory of the men who fell in epic battles including The Charge of The Light Brigade, and according to The Victorian Society is in the top 10 of endangered buildings in the UK. The disgrace is that the memorial was removed for the Botanical Gardens when they were renovated on the understaning that it would be resited within 2 years. This never happened and this monument which was paid for by public donations has been left to gather dust out of sight of the public. Repeated requests to Sheffield Council have been met with disinterest. It seems that Sheffield does not respect its war dead. We call on Sheffield Council to find a site and put this fine listed monument back on display so that the public can pay their respectsto Britain's war dead.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nick Williams

Let's break up earlier for the summer holidays!British schools break up long after the summer solstice. By August, the season feels positively autumnal and the hottest days have usually passed. Rather than teachers and pupils sweltering in hot classrooms (and children having to do homework during the'long' evenings), families could be holidaying in Britain at the peak of summer. This would boost our tourist industry. Our continental neighbours break up in June (as do American children); why haven't the term dates been reformed (something the government has been talking about since the 1990s)? Our children deserve better!74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue Springall

Private and work pensionsTry living in a home with no furniture, cooker, fridge freezer or washing machine; having to pay towards rent and council tax. My monthly rent and council tax is more than my meagre private pension. I have to pay this as I am on JSA contribution based and when I go onto income based, I will have even less though rent will be paid I'll still have to pay council tax. I have no chance of being able to buy the necessities. I have been told to go to charities etc but why should I, I don't want charity and I can certainly guarantee that not one MP could live on what I get and try to furnish it without anyone helping them.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Copeland

Ban the sale of eggs from caged hens!I urge all of you reading this to support this idea. Factory farming in general needs to come to an end, but for this petition I focus specifically on the cruelty the chickens are oppressed to in factory farms. Ideally I would love to put an end to all the suffering that farm animals are subject to on battery farms, but realistically we need to work one step at a time. This way, even though it is hard we can make a real difference for the animals and one by one they can all be saved from torture. I have done my research, I have read and seen horrific evidence and footage of what goes on behind the closed barn doors. Some companies will even admit how their animals live and somehow think it is acceptable, but what they don't realise is that we know the truth about the animal abuse which also goes on. The living standards are NOT acceptable in anyway, but the pure abuse which they are also forced to endure just makes it so much more sadistic. Their living space, I kid you not, is just over the size of an A4 sheet of paper which is now classed as an 'enriched' cage. That is the way the big companies legally get away with it, claiming that they are now sufficient for living by adding 20cm of floor to each cage! That is the floor size of the metal cage which they have to stand in every hour all day, every day, every month of every year which they are alive. The cages are also so low that they cannot stand up straight. They can't even stretch their wings. They fight and peck each other for the food, and the weakest ones that can't reach are just left to die underneath the others. Just imagine from your own perspective being locked in a small room with no fresh air, no sunlight, nothing. Now imagine that there are other people also locked in there, and there are so many of you in such a small space that people are stacked on top of you and below you, desperately trying to get out. The poor chickens have to endure that. I have seen chickens being kicked by the workers like they are not alive or capable of feelings. They chuck them around, break their bones and cut off their beaks with a hot blade. Male chicks are crushed alive in machines, as they are not useful for the industry as they will not give them eggs, they are not classed as 'worthy' to the apparent humans that think they own animals. It makes me sad that humans can be so inconsiderate and lack compassion. What have we become? I would like to put a complete end to the sale of battery eggs! I would like to be able to go into ALDI the supermarket and no longer see 'caged eggs' for sale as that is what they are labelled as. I beg for people to refuse to buy these eggs, as this is the first step to ending this inhumane process. Please, just think for a moment. Do YOU want to be a part of this callous abuse? Would you feel the same love for someone if they consciously abused animals? All of us good people can help others become more aware, tell all your family and all your friends to openly refuse to purchase eggs from caged hens and support free range only. We can make the change, and this is the first step. I have made my first step. I have rescued 5 ex-battery hens through the British Hen Welfare Trust and now they supply me with beautiful free range eggs (which for me are just a bonus, I love them eternally regardless of eggs). I plan to rescue more chickens in the future. Will you make your first step today? Please, sign this petition! Me and the chickens will love you forever. #Help the Hens.

Save Charing Cross HospitalThese plans will lose more than 300 acute care beds, and London will lose a hospital with a world class reputation for treatment. This is important to me on a personal level as my mother was treated there during her illness and received really excellent treatment. Here are the key findings of the Independent Healthcare Commission regarding the closure: - There is no completed, up-to-date business plan in place that sets out the case for delivering the Shaping a Healthier Future (SaHF) programme, demonstrating that the programme is affordable and deliverable. - There was limited and inadequate public consultation on the SaHF proposals and those proposals themselves did not provide an accurate view of the costs and risks to the people affected. - The escalating cost of the programme does not represent value for money and is a waste of precious public resources. - NHS facilities, delivering important public healthcare services, have been closed without adequate alternative provision being put in place. - The original business case seriously underestimated the increasing size of the population in North West London and fails to address the increasing need for services.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anouska Sutherland

Reuse of domestic plastic bottlesThese bottles are typically sturdy enough to be used many times and reusing a bottle ten times would reduce plastic consumption and waste by 90%. It would reduce transportation and consumer prices. The retail technology is readily available and the public are highly motivated to adopt such initiatives.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Mawdsley
