Save Our Music Venues in ManchesterWe all know the life and the soul of a city is its arts and culture. Equally as important is the opportunity for us to come together and spend time enjoying ourselves with other people. In a world dominated by smart phones and Netflix we need more reasons to leave our gaff, not less. We need to reverse this trend of destroying everything edgy and interesting about our city to build more beige flats for beige people. Save our city.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Thomas Barlow

Sort out the Parking Problem in Stanhope Street AbergavennyTraffic lights are needed to prevent accidents and possible disturbances of the peace. I have been personally involved in one person being injured at this 'Bottleneck ' and I have also been threatened and verbally abused by an irate driver who had to give way to me ! Reserved Parking Places are needed to allow residents a place to 'Park' when returning home etc. as there is just not enough room to 'Park'3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Roberts

Sandown bay needs a sixth formThe sixth form at Sandown bay has always been successful. The 2017 results were above average again, despite the turmoil created by the current uncertainties in the future of the school. There is no alternative in the area. Transport issues including costs will put off those who are capable of post 16 study but will have to travel. Younger students need to see a visible 6th form to aspire them to learn and give them an educational goal to work towards.551 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Dawn G

Life Saving Defibralators in Every Business with EmployeesImagine your Mum, Dad or family members heart stopping at work, the chances of them surviving the 7 minutes for the ambulance are 30%. If the ambulance takes 9 minutes they only have a 10% chance of surviving! These odds are terrible. If a colleague can administer a defibrillator shock within 2 minutes, their chance of survival is 80%! Anyone can use a defibrillator and it wont shock unless it is correct to do so.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Hurlock

Decent Internet for Cheshire's Rural Areas.At the moment on a really good day we get 5.00 Mbps, at the moment i get 1.00 Mbps. By 2013 they said they said they would upgrade our WiFi to fibre broadband (about 30.00 Mbps)(which is about 5X better than it is now) which they never did.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Nelson

Basic first aid to become part of the National CurriculumLives could be saved and injuries could be lessened if everyone was aware of even the most basic of first aid. From nose bleeds to broken bones, concussion to knife injury, if people knew the 1st steps, basic ‘what to do’ in a situation whilst waiting for paramedics, further injury or trauma could be minimised.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ali Edge

'Last Christmas' For Christmas Number 1 2017!Lets remember the iconic singer/songwriter and great man George Michael, who sadly passed Christmas 2016. 'Last Christmas' never made it to Number 1 in 1984, it would be a great honour to remember him by purchasing 'Last Christmas' again and placing it at the top spot for Christmas 2017 and for George. There have been many X Factor number 1's over the years but lets do this for a great man - George Michael. *THIS PETITION IS JUST FOR AWARENESS AND HAS NO INFLUENCE OVER THE OUTCOME WHATEVER*75 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gem Craven

BBC should rethink decision to cancel CrimewatchIn 1984 the programme Crimewatch UK was launched. This was an experiment, and no-one at the BBC had any idea if it would work. Would the public get involved? Would the police be willing to collaborate with the media? Would it really help to tackle crime? The programme was a great success, as proved by its longevity. The once a month show had various segments including reconstructions, photofits and in later years CCTV footage. It appealed for information about murders, rapes, violent crimes and theft in the main, but all types of crime were featured at some points. There was a school of thought that the show could make people more frightened by featuring such harrowing crimes, but Nick Ross was always there at the end of the show to remind us that these types of crimes were very rare and this gave birth to his 'Don't Have Nightmares' catchphrase which is still remembered today. It is impossible to quantify the positive impact that Crimewatch has had on our society. Inevitably, it is remembered for the appeals which helped solve some of Britain's highest profile crimes; the murders of Sarah Payne, James Bulger and Lin and Megan and Russell were all solved by viewers calling in to the show following reconstructions, and I know how thankful the families were for the help that Crimewatch provided. But it is with the lesser known cases that Crimewatch has made such a difference. Crimes of murder and rape which gained scant attention in the media but nonetheless had a devastating impact on the lives of those affected. Many of those cases would only feature in local newpapers and media, but Crimewatch gave them national exposure and many terrible crimes were solved, and dangerous criminals caught, by the monthly BBC broadcast. You have to wonder how much crime the programme helped deter too; how many criminals thought twice about committing a crime when they knew their face may end upon Crimewatch? Some say that in the age of social media and online news, this monthly crime show has ‘had its day’ and needs to ‘move with the times’. But I would argue it is more important now than ever. Social media is awash with fake stories of alleged crimes and missing people, which have proved to be false. The panic and misinformation that permeates social media channels following criminal acts can also cause more confusion and difficulty for authorities trying to solve crimes. Crimewatch is a flagship BBC show which viewers know can be trusted. The BBC has cited falling ratings as the reason for cancelling the show, but since 2010 it has only been shown 8 times or less per year, with viewers missing episodes due to the BBC’s sporadic scheduling of the programme. Indeed, an argument could be made that the fall in ratings has come about because of the BBC’s lack of support for the show, and the 2016 revamp merely exacerbated its decline by introducing gimmicks which distracted viewers from the important information being shared. The retention of ‘Crimewatch Roadshow’ is a sop that does little to mitigate the loss of the main show, as it a vastly different show aimed at a daytime audience. The BBC is a public broadcaster, and as such has a duty to provide a public service. The BBC has many critics, both of its output and its mode of funding, but few people could argue that Crimewatch is one of its great success stories that has done much to help the police tackle serious crime in this country over the last 30 years and more. We call upon the BBC to rethink its decision to cancel the programme, and instead to show its support to a public service programme that has done so much to bring about justice to the victims of crime in the U.K.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Valente
