CYCLE ROUTE ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH FROM KENWOOD TO THE LADIES' PONDDaily pond swimmers like me, who are being fined and taken to court for riding to the Ponds on No Cycling lanes, are being victimised. I have already been fined £500.00 after 2 court hearings. I'm nearly 70 and can ride far more easily than I can walk. My bike is like a disability scooter, only healthier! There seems to be a prejudice against cyclists on the Heath in favour of dogs. Many dog walkers walk as many as 10 dogs at a time and yet they seem to have the lobby which deprives cyclists of the right to ride on the Heath. Routes running North to South are particularly scarce and do not serve cyclists in the Highgate, Golders Green and East Finchley areas nor those coming up from Kentish Town, Gospel Oak and Parliament Hill. Surely we are kinder to the environment than cars on Merton and Millfield Lanes!53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Massey

Better cycle storage for CanonburyThere are currently no secure cycle storage facilities in Canonbury, despite huge numbers of cyclists in the area. Bikehangars aren't expensive, only take up half a car parking space, and each provides secure, covered storage for six bicycles. For every one car space, 12 cyclists could be provided with storage. A recent consultation on the placement of additonal bikehangars in Islington led to plans for 18 new bikehangars, but all are in the north of the borough, with a third of them placed across 4 adjoining streets in Upper Holloway. The nearest proposed bikehangar to the Essex Road area is a mile away. Islington prides itself on being a green borough and supporting cyclists benefits everyone - reducing traffic, noise and pollution and encouraging healthy lifestyles. The Council needs to represent the interests of residents in all areas of the borough, not just the north section. As more people cycle, the borough will become cleaner, greener and healthier. With better cycle storage, everyone benefits!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Waller

Introduce bus service from Dundee to Stratheden HospitalHundreds of students (nursing, medical and allied health professions) are placed at this hospital a year from Dundee University, Dundee & Angus College and Abertay University (and the surrounding area) and using public transport can take up to two hours to get there and back even though it is only a 30/40 minute journey. Its not only students who would benefit from this, stratheden has staff, visitors and patients who would find this bus route useful. At present, anyone getting to Stratheden Hospital via public transport has to get a bus from the hospital into the town centre of Cupar (which only runs once an hour so you often have to resort to a taxi) and then wait to get either a train into Dundee or another bus. The hospital itself plays a big role in mental health care within NHS Scotland but is currently facing a staffing shortage and from personal experience I believe this has a lot to do with how unaccessible the hospital and as many of you may know, staffing & student shortages leads to poor care delivery. I urge anyone who works at the hospital, is a student and understands the struggles of travelling to placement, someone who understands how important good staffing levels within the NHS are or just anyone who wants to support the cause to please sign this petition. Thank you.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by J H

Stop the Trafalgar College mergerOur children have found a school blessed with great teachers, a brilliant work ethic and fantastic sense of community. This is now at risk due to a short sighted, financially motivated decision. One which has either been done either before Icontracts were signed on taking over the GYHS or far too hastily (6 weeks). It also removes choice of religious freedom, meaning pupils of a secular school will be forced to go to one with a religious designation. This is something the parents are hugely against.451 of 500 SignaturesCreated by James Dwyer

Keep Open Holday PlayschemeMany parents/guardians rely on this facility to enable them to go to work during school holidays at an affordable price at £23 from 8am - 6pm! The playscheme itself offered sports activities, trips out & craft workshops enjoyed by the children. Their alternative las left many parents who arn't able to drive thus commute further to these alternatives, stranded. Let's get some signatures and keep this valuable facility running!128 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sammie Alexia

Improve bus times for workers!So many people rely on the bus service to get them to and from work. First bus york dont take into consideration the staff that start as early as 7:00am. The number 7 McArthurglen route is one of the busiest park and ride services there is so they would be silly not to put extra busses on. The number 9 and 3 service runs as early as 6:00am and 6:30am so why can't the number 7 route?9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sammi Hardy

Against PSPO of social cleansing in Poole to prevent the homeless sleeping on the streetsThe council want to impose social cleansing and take away peoples rights to sleep on the streets in Poole. A Public Space Protection order would prevent the homeless in Poole of gaining access to basic needs such as food, shelter, warm clothes and benefit advice. Homeless peoples human rights are being taken away.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Holly Leppington

John Bercow. Stop MPs behaving like Children during Prime Minister's Questions.Every time MPs persist in this disgusting behaviour they cheapen our democracy. They trivialise the important issues that affect many ordinary people in the UK. I believe it is an important reason why politics and politicians are held in such low esteem by the general public. Our democracy deserves better than this.34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Savage

The Smiths ReunionPlease sign this petition to encourage The Smiths to reunite for a one off gig in Manchester for the original fans and also to raise money for charity. This would be the biggest concert in Manchester history and it could possibly raise an extravagant amount of money for charity whilst giving their die hard fans the opportunity of a life time. Imagine the money that could be raised for charity and remember its the fans that made you who you are today. I think they deserve a one off concert as it has been approx. 30 years since the best band ever split. We are not asking for a come back but surely it would not kill you all to reunite for one /two nights for a good cause would it?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donna Webster
