Name one of our new Royal Navy T26 Frigates HMS PLYMOUTHPlymouth has a long standing relationship with the Royal Navy and Defence as a whole, acting as a natural port and strategic location, it boasts world leading capabilities, employing thousands of dedicated local people to support the men and women who serve on Royal Navy Warships. The history of Plymouth and it’s military links can be traced back to before the formation of a Royal Navy. We want the Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, the local MPs and the nation as a whole to consider rewarding Plymouth and its dedication to the Royal Navy by naming one of the new Type 26 warships ....

Tell Amazon.co.uk To Reduce Fees For CharitiesMany UK charities rely on selling donated goods on Amazon.co.uk to raise vital funds. Amazon now take a 20+% cut of ALL charity revenue and make literally millions of pounds each year off the back of UK charities. This is money that needs to go to good causes and not to line the pockets of a US corporation! Amazon did charge a massive 15% commission but have recently increased this rate further. Tell Amazon this is just plain greedy and needs to stop now! eBay offer charities heavily discounted fees for selling on eBay.co.uk and we demand that Amazon follow eBay's lead in offering reduced selling fees for charities.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Douglas Gurr

Move the Emett Clock backIt looks out of place and hasn’t been given the chance for new generations to admire and appreciate the work that went in to it. Regular visitors and residents of Nottingham remember the clock as it should be and have great memories of it. Now it’s been shoved to the back of the shopping centre it’s ignored by hundreds on a daily basis.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Lambton

STOP the Severnside incineratorThis petition urges MCC to overturn the decision to allow DC/2017/00563 to go ahead and furthermore to reject the application DC/2017/00700 by DPS waste incineration. This directly affects your health and that of your family and friends. YOUR VOICE MATTERS and IT DOES COUNT. If approved Severnside air pollution WILL increase forever, with significant predictable life threatening and life changing health consequences for many, including the most vulnerable youngest members of society. Research has proven unborn babies; infants and children are most at risk from incinerator emissions. Incinerators are associated with direct causal links to all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and lung cancer, including both adult and childhood cancer. Other associated issues include: birth defects, increased respiratory issues, emotional and behavioural problems in children including autism, dyslexia, ADHD, learning difficulties, and delinquency. And, furthermore potential cell level genetic changes pose a risk to future generations. Whilst in adults: violence, dementia, depression and Parkinson’s disease are all attributable. These findings come from a wide variety of peer reviewed research and reports conducted by The World Health Organisation, British Heart Foundation, British Lung Foundation, DEFRA, Asthma UK, and many others. The latest planning application (DC2017/00700) is needed to build Chimneystacks for the operation of both the incinerator unit and storage units for the waste both pre and post incineration. The planned chimneystacks are out of keeping with surrounding local village architecture and may potentially contravene NPPF guidelines. Equally the granting of this application may contravene The Future Generations Act 2015 and this must be considered in any decision made. No one can guarantee that waste incineration is totally safe for public health. The toxic emissions and particulate pollution have to go somewhere. It is enshrined in EC and UK legislation that reducing emissions produces true health benefits, reduces the burden on healthcare, and protects against the impacts of acid air, and its effect on water including local and wide ranging ecosystems and the food chain. . Research has demonstrated that the hazards of incineration are greater than previously realised especially relating to fine and ultra fine particulates. Operating waste incinerators in urban areas results in dangerous health and environmental consequences from both construction and operation. The proposed site is adjacent to a community Greenfield site (The Cornfield project), used daily by dog walkers as well as families using the numerous picnic areas contained within it. Caldicot Castle and Country Park are within ½ mile, which is also used for food festivals and outdoor concerts exposing even more people to potential harm. In the village there is an infant/junior school whilst a newly built comprehensive lies within two miles. Furthermore there is already one housing development locally of 212 houses and a proposed development of 285 houses and dementia care facility to be built virtually opposite this facility. Residents of Severnside have the human right to clean air and their health protected. Transport of the Waste to the plant causes another issue, with huge diesel lorries coming and going from Bristol to the property throughout the day passing both the country park, new development and dementia care facility on the Crick Road site in Portskewett. The company will be self regulated meaning they would be responsible for reporting their own breaches. In other self-regulatory plants it has been reported there have been over 1000 breaches recorded. And whilst it is implied the emissions from the plant “Will not harm the health of residents”, what safeguards are there for more vulnerable groups, including those with asthma, COPD and youngsters whose lung development can be stunted by pollution This plant may potentially release a cocktail of particulate matter, chemicals, metals, dioxins and furans - the most toxic chemicals known to science. The major source of dioxins & furans in the environment come from burning waste! Experts have warned these are all a major cause of cancers, birth defects, breathing difficulties and heart disease. These poisons will fall over a wide area around Severnside and beyond, wherever the winds take it. We urge MCC to disallow planning for the proposed stacks and to overturn its original decision (DC/2017/00563) to allow the site to be used for incineration. Sign this petition. Save our future generations by saying no to incineration.270 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Gary Turner

Licensing of Social Housing Managers.In my Tower Block at one time 41 flats out of 86 had dubious people living in them. This was highlighted was the Gas Supply was turned off from the whole block, and Gas-Engenderers needed to enter every flat, in one day but after 2 weeks still could not get into 41! and we all had 2 weeks warning of this essential safety check, as the pipework had to be pressurised to remove any residue. WE Have Homelessness simply because of Social Housing Fraud!. People who will not integrate so are a danger with water leaks, infestation or just call at night to collect the latest batch of Credit Cards or mail in general using the address as a Fraud Factor or to water the Cannabis Plants after hot wiring the Electric meter. Sending a letter or making a phone call is not enough but all they do to protect bonuses connected to the percentage of rent collected!. Run a Crime Hub-but pay the rent OK, Be made redundant or be taken seriously ill and owe a weeks rent and the legal process to evict you will start.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rev/Mr Payl Nyles

Council's investment in Social HousingThanks to the Government's 'Right to Buy' Policy, local government are forced to offer Social Housing at heavily discounted prices - at approximately up to 70% of value - to elderly, disabled and vulnerable residents in Independent Living Accommodation; thus reducing the housing stock in Social Housing overall. Affordable Housing is only offered at 20% of value which most cannot afford. If residents cannot get social housing, either through an association or the council, they are forced into the more expensive - ON AVERAGE 4 TIMES AS MORE - private renting. For example: In the last six months, 130 Independent Living Accommodation Sites have been lost, never to replaced, amounting to 2% of the current total Social Housing within the Stroud Area alone; an issue that is being replicated across the United Kingdom.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Merrick

Castle Ward Air Quality Petition | Colchester Green PartyColchester Green Party have been monitoring levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in a number of locations in Castle Ward. Five areas exceeded the World Health Organisation's recommended safety limit of 40 micrograms per cubic metre. These high levels of NO2 pose a serious health threat to the public, particularly residents living in the following areas: St Botolphs Street - 52.72 East Street (Ipswich Road junction) - 60.74 North Station Road - 58.02 East Street - 52.76 East Hill (Priory Street Junction) - 44.17 We therefore call upon the Colchester Borough Council to decrease the levels of pollution, starting with the implementation of our three proposals. These proposals would encourage drivers to consider alternative modes of transport (cycling and walking), deter drivers from idling, and incentivise electrification of motor vehicles.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt Stemp

Sheltering homeless people in Weston Super MareCurrently homeless people are huddled in sea front seating shelters which have broken glass in them. In the current wintry conditions this is not adequate . There are a number of beach huts on Weston sea front that are vacant and could house people much more adequately . We do not want more needless deaths to occur.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Edward Elliott

Motor Cycle FatalitiesIt is important to reduce the number of fatalities and encourage car drivers to be more vigilant careful , ,conscious and aware of motorcyclists . We would not accept the excuse that the driver had a temporary lapse of vision if he or she collided with a pedestrian . Making it safer for bikers and indeed cyclists is wholly achievable and I suggest it may help if the punishment for careless driving is increased.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rupert Smillie
