ID legislation needs to be brought in. We need to stop teens and children from using dating sites and known sex offenders by using ID to verify ages and to do background checks on people

We are living in a Nature crisis, this last year our Insect populations have crashed . We need to do better. We need to save our nature . Raising awareness is vital to their survival 

Currently, tenants are being charged excessively, with some landlords demanding £25 per pet per month, despite landlords' insurance covering pets for just £25 a year. This needs to be regulated to a fairer rate of £15 per month if tenants don’t have their own coverage for pet-related damages. If tenants do have coverage, there should be no additional charge. Furthermore, if a pet dies and the landlord charges, no new charges should be imposed if estate agent/landlord made aware . This is particularly unfair given that those in council housing or who own their homes aren’t subjected to these fees, and pets often contribute to tenants' mental well-being and life in general. Additionally those tenants who already pay for contents insurance that includes liability get their damaged property fixed under the tenants insurance. So they may not get money into their bank but they get a "whatever" at no charges to themselves but higher charges to the tenant for claiming on their liability insurance 

This is important as walking through Evesham I do not feel safe and feel uneasy. Seeing frequent reports of anti social behaviour happening in our area shows something needs to be changed

This can’t happen. Officers claim the car park is surplus to requirements and people can simply park elsewhere but this contradicts local knowledge and experience. There will be a net loss of 12 disabled parking bays. High St/Mary St car park is the most accessible car park for many disabled people and older people who cannot walk far to visit High Street businesses or events/venues/groups in the vicinity. Many often can’t find a spot in the Crescent car park anymore and find Orchard multi-storey next door a nightmare by comparison. It is also the only place you can park in the area after 7pm (its lowest level is not locked) as Orchard is shut then. Removing that night time parking facility in particular would spell disaster for the popular nearby venues including CICCIC (Creative Innovation Centre) and the Lawns Social Club, businesses and churches, whilst also restricting the opportunities for many local residents to access a social life and increasing isolation. Taunton aspires to be a destination - for arts and culture, festivals, social activities, retail -  but removing this car park will do nothing but damage to town centre footfall, our cultural life and the town’s economy. Worshippers at churches in the area would also be deprived of the ability to attend services.  Vivary Park (owned and managed by Somerset Council) across the road hosts major popular events through the year attracting thousands of visitors, making the nearest car park - the High St/Mary St car park facility - absolutely vital to the continuing success of these and to avoiding traffic and parking chaos. People do not yet have an adequate level of public transport opportunities to always leave the car at home. We demand that Somerset Council presses PAUSE on current plans, undertakes a proper impact assessment, looks at all the options and commits to proper consultation and joint working with local residents, businesses and stakeholders to secure continuation of effective parking provision in the area (including at night) in the interests of Taunton’s community and economy.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. It certainly takes families with children to maintain a community like ours. A recent policy change by North Yorkshire Council threatens to make our community fail, with implications for all. The Council has decided it will no longer provide free school transport for children living in our dales if they want to go to Richmond School. It will pay for children to go to the nearest of Leyburn, Barnard Castle or Kirkby Stephen schools, each entailing winter journeys over mountain passes. But not for the safest, cheapest, and most sensible option that keeps Swaledale and Arkengarthdale children together at Richmond school. I know it sounds like a wind up. It isn't. This decision is already causing nightmares in families with children in Year 6 who must decide what to do in the next few weeks, and have been given no sensible guidance to help them. If this policy continues, families with the freedom to choose will no longer choose to live in our two dales. There will soon be even fewer working age families than there are now. Reeth and Gunnerside schools will close. Businesses will close. Services will disappear. So please don’t ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for us. People make the dales, the children their families and their communities. Without them it will be a wilderness! We need councillors to overturn their decision. If we present a petition with over 500 signatures councillors must consider it. The last petition fell just short of this number. If we present a petition with over a 1,000 signatures, and present it with some pizzazz, it will wake up those councillors who were asleep at the wheel when they voted for this awful policy. So please, please sign this petition.  

This is important because thousands, if not millions of people depend on this benefit to maintain themselves. The Modernizing Support Green Paper also proposes changes to the Work Capability Assessment that denies those with mobility or mental health issues extra Universal Credit.

I have seen that wet wipes have been in rivers, and just in the smallest piece of a riverbank, a mountain has been made out of them. This also makes pollution and climate change much, much worse; if people love this planet then we should look after it or one day it will be gone.

If you want your child to have a warm lunch then you have no option but to buy school dinners whose options include pizza, chips, muffins, and chocolate crunch... hardly healthy. 

For too long pedestrians, cyclists and motorists have had to deal with traffic approaching and leaving Rugby at high speed along the A426. The number of pedestrians trying to cross the road has increased in recent years as more development of residential areas along side this busy road has taken place. More children are walking down the side of the road to get to school, and the number of cars and lorries using it has increased as more logistics depots have been built in Coton Park and Rochberie Heights. There are frequent minor accidents at roundabouts along the length of the road as road markings have worn away and drivers do not observe lane discipline.  Pleas from local councillors to Warwickshire County Council Highways for action to be taken have fallen on deaf ears. We are now calling on the County Council to take action to reduce traffic speed along the section of the road that is currently 60 mph to 40 mph and to review and repaint the lane markings at the roundabouts.

The proposed cuts to inclusion will affect ALL children in Edinburgh schools, disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable.  Some of the proposed cuts are currently as follows - Removal of a central Additional Support for Learning (ASL) service - Removal of Forest school. - Removal of Hospital education services  - Restructuring of Educational Psychology department. - Removal or paring back holiday hub service that supports disabled and ASN children in the school holidays.  - Adding more duties to PSA job descriptions including the expectation that they will have to deal with physical violence as standard.  - It is unclear what will happen to English as an Additional Language services, one of the largest additional support needs in the city. Why is this petition important? Despite the spin that this is merely restructuring, it is quite clear that this is a cost-cutting exercise for an already overstretched service.  The cuts will have a huge negative impact on ALL children's education: disproportionately impacting both children with disabilities and those from minority ethnic backgrounds. Over the last year, the  families of children with ASN have already fought CEC attempts to remove Edinburgh Childcare for All (afterschool care for disabled children), the Enhanced Support Bases (support for ASN pupils in mainstream schools) and Holiday Hubs (holiday support for disabled children who can't attend typical holiday clubs). Concerned parents have attempted to consult with CEC over the last year but are extremely disappointed with how this has been handled. Surveys and engagement meetings appear to be tick box exercises, with concerns expressed by parents and teaching staff not being addressed and unrealistic timescales being imposed.  Therefore we need your help. We  ALL need to work together and raise our voices to make CEC listen and realise that their plans are not acceptable. By sharing and signing this petition and writing to your councillors,  you can add your voice to tell Edinburgh councillors loud and clear to STOP INCLUSION CUTS. What’s the bigger picture? School should be accessible to all children, regardless of disability or support needs. 48% of school pupils across Lothian have some sort of Additional Support Need, a percentage dramatically rising. Removal of any of these services is going to be detrimental to ALL our children. According to the Scottish Government, “Disabled people should have freedom, dignity, choice and control over their lives. We want to remove the barriers that stop people from enjoying equal access to full citizenship.” These plans are clearly at odds with this ethos.  The Holyrood Education, Children and Young People Committee 2024/4 inquiry into Additional support needs in Education found that local authorities were already failing to implement mainstreaming properly, saying 'the situation for children with additional support needs is intolerable' (Susan Webber MSP Committee Convener) By signing this petition, you are also telling the Scottish Government that they need make good on their promises and provide adequate budgets for councils to be able to protect these services.
