Save Heysham Swimming Pool.Cllr Margaret Pattison, Cllr Janice Hanson, Cllr Darren Clifford and Cllr David Whittaker are very concerned with living in a seaside area such as Morecambe and Heysham that children should have a local pool to learn to swim. The pool has 54.000 visitors a year with 16 schools using the pool for swimming lessons and groups helping people to keep fit and healthy, if closed this would effect the health and safety of the people in Morecambe.1,066 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Margaret Pattison.

Referendum on the final terms on which the UK will leave the European UnionThe EU referendum represented a low point in post war UK democratic politics. Only now are problems coming to the fore that were not considered in the referendum and not debated at the time. Oeople did not know the consequences of them and Brexit impact reports are being unacceptably hidden from the people. This is unacceptable and we need a final decision when we know exactly what Brexit means and that means the full terms of an any deal.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roman Haluszczak

Name a Midland Metro tram after Jeff LynneI won't pretend that this will change the world or that it is anywhere near as worthy a cause as a great many. It will however brighten sometimes rainy Midlands days, put a smile on people's faces and would be a nice way to say 'thank you' to Jeff for such great music and all he's achieved over the years. It's a big birthday for Jeff this year, too, and what better gift to give!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy Walker

STOP ROYAL MAIL NOISE POLLUTION AT UNSOCIAL HOURS ON WYNNE ROAD, SW9The Royal mail depot on Wynne Road, SW9 operates until midnight, and starts at 4am. New flats have been built opposite (completed April 2017) and sold to young Londoners on the HTB scheme, the land was sold by Lambeth council itself. Residents are now being woken up daily due to the noise made by loading and unloading during these unsocial hours. The engines are kept running, trolleys rattled on the road, reverse beeping from the vehicles can be heard, as well as loud loading noises. Royal Mail refuses to use their car park at the back of the building and instead use the loading bay at the front of their building, and double yellow marked areas directly outside the flats.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Isabelle Burn

Universal Credit Helpline should be FREEPeople in receipt of benefits are generally, by their very nature of having to claim a benefit, in a vulnerable financial situation. The changes to the benefit system as JCP centres roll out the Universal Benefit programme is causing considerable and maybe severe financial disruption for some of our most vulnerable members of society. These persons SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FINANCE the rollout by having to pay 55p p/min to make a call with a query they have about the changes that are affecting the fabric of their lives. Many people end up on hold - AT 55P PER MINUTE! It is immoral to charge people to use this helpline.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Price

Freephone numbers at benefit officesBenefits claimants cannot afford these charges. This means that if their maney is late they are unable to ring DWP. Elizabeth Truss MP suggests claimants should go to their Job Centres, but in most rural and in some citys, Job Centres have closed or are soon to be closed. Those on benefits need support, not a government intent on making their lives harder. Stop these over-inflated phone charges now!25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaqui Barnes-Monaghan

Make self-serve plastic bags compostableSupermarkets provide an enormous number of plastic bags every day for people to buy fruit, vegetables and bakery items. Most of these bags are binned as soon as the items have been used. Most of these bags are also very slow to degrade (e.g. https://www.plasticoceans.org). This situation can easily be made better if supermarkets provide shoppers with biodegradable bags instead.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dan Lloyd

Carbon labels on supermarket foodstuffsSimilar to Reference intakes which you see on food in the supermarket, this would allow for more consumer choice. In this instance it would allow for consumer choice when it comes to the carbon footprint of you diet. It is also really important in helping to inspire and motivate retailers to worry about the carbon footprint of their produce. For example ,if it becomes clear that UK people (when supplied with enough information) will prefer local produce over 'larger' or 'better looking' international produce which come with huge airmiles and carbon footprints - then this will motivate supermarkets to act on this. Clearly the UK has issues related to our carbon footprint and related global warming outcomes. This is compounded when linked to the issue of food waste.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Liam Pryle

Make Prepayment Energy Tariffs The Same As Credit Meter Tariffs and Ban Standing ChargesA growing number of people in the UK are finding energy prices impossible to pay. Having a pre-payment meter allows tighter control of how much a low income family or individual spends on electricity and gas. Capping bills is not enough - energy companies have just hiked up their prices in preparation for capping. Lack of political will and reneging on election promises will put peoples' lives and well being at risk. Energy companies will continue to charge vulnerable families and individuals more for their gas and electricity than anyone paying on direct debit. The standing charge on prepayment meters is in the region of 28p per day, resulting in a yearly charge of around £200 before any fuel has been purchased. This is a huge burden for low income families. Prepayment meters do not need any more attention or attendance by meter readers than credit meters - in fact, less work is generated by having a prepayment meter - the bill has been paid in advance - no-one is having to generate a bill with the associated postage costs, or chase up unpaid or late bills. Energy companies continue to charge punitive tariffs on prepayment meters - always the highest tariff they charge. They are charging the people least able to pay the highest tariffs, knowing they have a captive audience of customers unable or unwilling to access credit meters for a variety of reasons. Bearing in mind that prepayment meters mean exactly that - you buy your energy in advance - this must be the only industry where the customers are charged more for buying in advance. This is not only unfair it is morally wrong. As winter approaches, people who are "just about managing", the elderly, families with children, people living with chronic diseases and long term health problems, and those recovering from cancer, are dreading the weather getting colder, presenting them with the dilemma of whether to top up the meter or eat properly. Please protect the most vulnerable people in this country from the greed of the energy companies.100 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Lillis-James

Oppose merger for route 305The 305 bus route is essential for passengers who lead very busy and hectic lives, the route is convenient for those travelling into London, as it is easy access to Burnt Oak Station, to parents dropping their children to the local school and needing to get to work promptly. The new route will mean additional travelling time for which is not possible, particularly the elderly who may suffer from disabilities and are not able to walk the 400 metres to access the route. The new route does not take into account those people who live on the 305 bus route who work late at night and rely upon this route to get home safely.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by P Shah
