• STOP Ali Mohammed al-Nimr's crucifixion in Saudi Arabia
    A Saudi pro democracy teenage protester lost his appeal against a death sentence by crucifixion, and could be killed at any time. The justice ministry still says that it would not be in the “wider interests of the British government” to withdraw the bid at this late stage. The UK cannot condone the abuses taking place in the Saudi system because of its financial interests! It is urgent to pressure the Justice Ministry to DROP THE BID and save a life.

  • Save the fruit and veg stall at RSUH and Stafford Hospital
    The offer of affordable fresh fruit and vegetables should be available at all hospital sites, surely it's preferable to have a healthy option than having fast food or snacks and chocolates. The fruit and vegetables are sold by local people who are in danger of losing their jobs, but this is also about supporting our local economy.

  • Include Syrians in Calais in UK Refugee Plan
    Syrian refugees are living in desperate and degrading conditions in Calais. These people have survived deadly journeys out of Syria - many through Turkey, by boat to Greece and then smuggled into France in the hope of being reunited with family members in the UK. Now they're surviving on the cold steps of Calais. A friend and I were personally moved by the situation in Calais, enough so that we decided to go and spend a few days there. During that time, we got to know the Syrian people who have camped in front of the church in town and asked them if they could give us an idea of how many Syrians there are in Calais. They said they didn't know so we suggested that we collect names. One of the Syrian guys took it upon himself to compile this list, which consisted of handwritten names of all the people camped in town and in the "Jungle". The names added to 269. Two hundred and sixty nine on the 6th of September 2015. That's 269 Syrian people who have made it this far and seek only safety and the love of a family member who is already in the UK. We ask David Cameron MP to review the situation of the Syrians in France and to allow them refugee status or humanitarian protection in the UK.

  • Free school meals for all ages
    There are so many unfortunate families out there who struggle to finance healthy, nutritious meals for their children let alone finance any food at all. A daily free school dinner could be the difference between a child surviving and starving to death. Just think how much pressure this will take off the parent who is struggling, worrying, preying for a bit of help, All children deserve a healthy, nutritious diet not just the smaller generation or children who come from more fortunate back grounds. We have homeless shelters and open kitchens for adults and such like so why shouldn't we be giving back to the children too? Children are vulnerable and should not be taken for granted they deserve the option!

  • No Gas Works East Lothian
    A large agricultural anaerobic digestion plant is planned in East Lothian, between Longniddry and Ballencrieff on the B1377. The plant will convert energy crops and agricultural by products into gas which will be fed into the national grid. It will be the largest agricultural (non-food) in Scotland and one of the largest in the UK, three times the size of the current largest agricultural plant. We believe the plant will have a detrimental effect on the local environment, and pose serious risks to wildlife. Other issues such as increased HGV traffic, noise, and odour will also be of concern to local residents and commuters along this road alike. The site sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with the size, and especially height of the development far in excess of any other nearby structures. It will also sit less than 400m from residential property. The proposals are not yet on the online planning portal, but we expect them to be very soon. There will be a short window where objections can be lodged against the proposal and we will provide more details as they become available.

  • Stop Bristol Airport charging for passenger Drop-Off
    By charging for this, Bristol Airport gives the impression that they are trying to squeeze their customers for every last penny. Particularly for those making frequent visits to the airport, why should they be forced to pay for a simple drop off? What exactly is the service that Bristol Airport is charging for? The concept of airport drop off is merely a means of delivering the airport's customers to the point of business. The knock on effect is that the police at the airport waste time policing the airport roadways where people elect to drop off as an alternative to paying the fee.

  • Disabled access on Plymouth streets
    I have been fighting for nearly 2 years to get drop kerbs installed on Cunningham road in Plymouth, to allow access for wheelchair and mobility scooters. I have mobility issues and rely on a scooter to get around, but with no drop kerbs, i cant leave my house. I have been lied to and treated like I don't matter by the council, and put onto a list for a fund that simply doesn't have enough money to do the work, meaning it will never be done. I have been told by the council that they don't have a budget for disability access issues and the only money available is £4000 in the living streets fund, while the work has been quoted as £5000. Why don't the council have a budget set aside for disability access issues? The discrimination act was put in place to prevent businesses from discriminating against disabled people yet the council don't have to do anything about it? I may only be one person asking for them, but not having them means my life is seriously effected as I do not have access to my GP, the hospital, the pain clinic or anywhere else. It is important that the council listen to what it's constituents need, are taken to account for failing to fulfil their job and are prepared for such occurrences with suitable budgets.

  • Green Belt to Houses
    Five years ago Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council had voted and promised to turn Bedworth Woodlands, a green field site, to Green Belt. They are now pushing to build homes on it. When I bought my home I chose one that felt rural and was apparently going to be protected. I love this area because the richness of the wildlife is amazing but it is likely to be lost. My resident hedgehog will have to go, along with the dragonflies and myriad other wonderful creatures. Local developers have been building 200 - 240 new homes a year in the borough and struggling to sell them but under this 'plan' this has to be accelerated to about 650 a year. To build these extra homes the council want to move a population of protected Great Crested Newts for 1200 'executive' homes even though the area needs simple 2 and 3 bed homes for local families and the development is likely to remain largely empty. Their excuse is that they must build 14000 homes in their plan but many of these homes are overspill (approx. 8000 - 9000 they are hiding the actual figures so it may be more) so not necessary for the area. Especially if it means building on green field sites. There are many empty buildings and brown field sites that can be used before a green field site is built on. If they do build on it the last area of green fields in the Borough will have gone. Please help us save it from pointless development.

  • Solihull Referendum on West Midlands Combined Authority
    The establishment of the West Midlands Combined Authority is the most important change in regional local government in the last 25 years. The new authority will have a budget of many billions of pounds. There are genuine concerns about the extent to which members of the new Combined Authority will be democratically accountable to local people in the control of both policy and finance.

  • Better Buses for Littlemore
    Labour is launching a ‘Better Buses for Littlemore’ campaign. “It’s a scandal that Littlemore residents don’t get the same standard of bus service as people in Blackbird Leys or Rose Hill”, says Labour councillor, John Tanner. “With the number 16 only turning up every half an hour, and the T2 every hour with nothing on Sundays, it’s no wonder people get in their cars, adding to traffic on the roads”, says John. “More people are moving into Littlemore and we need a much more frequent bus service”. This petition calls on Stagecoach and Oxford Bus to dramatically improve the buses in Littlemore. “We need a regular 15 minute service with routes serving the centre of Oxford, the Cowley Shopping Centre and the Littlemore Science Park”, says John.

  • Improve Mental Health Care in Hull and East Yorkshire in Memory of Jarrad Joseph Grainger
    This petition is highly important to myself and my family, our friends and the local community. This is because on 6th September 2015 my cousin Jarrad Joseph Grainger took his own life, he was only 21 years old. I am starting this petition on behalf of my auntie Nadine West - Jarrad's mother. We are wanting to stop this from happening to more people as this is an all to common occurrence these days. We need help in reinstating 24/7 care for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Kingston upon Hull. Vulnerable patients do often need 24/7 care and sometimes need to stay in units for anywhere between a few days and months at a time, the closest unit to Hull is approximately 42 miles away meaning that when children/adolescents need to stay in the units they are kept many miles away from their families making it hard for them to visit making them feel even more isolated. We need to improve the care that Hull and East Yorkshire currently has to make it ALOT better than it is, patients need better care and for it to be more accessible. People searching for help who contact these Charities are often left for days or weeks without a reply to the shout for help, we need to change this urgently! The stigma surrounding Mental Health and Illness needs stopping, we need to raise more awareness about this to give people a better understanding, the more people that know about Mental Health/Illness the better chance we have at helping those in need. We couldn't help Jarrad and we lost him, we were too late. So we will do this in his memory, we will help those we still can. We will improve the services in Hull and East Yorkshire and we will prevent people deteriorating from Mental Health/Illness and we will save them. Jarrad Joseph Grainger, Forever Young - this is for you xx
