Minimum wage for under 25sYoung adults under the age of twenty five years old should be entitled to the minimum wage and not descriminated because they are under 25. Young adults hold jobs and responsibilities the same way as a twenty five year old. They can offer the same skill set but are paid far less than than the minimum wage. Why should one bartender over twenty five be paid the minimum wage and a bartender doing the same job for far less pay because they are under twenty five years of age.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kay Lelliott Graham

Bexleyheath Police Station Front Office ClosureWe believe that the alternative location at Sidcup will restrict the majority of Bexley resident’s access to police services. Not all residents have access to internet facilities nor do they have their own transport to travel to Sidcup. Both of these points are particularly relevant to Bexley’s older and more vulnerable residents. Bexleyheath police station is central to the entire borough with superb public transport links to all locations. Travelling to Sidcup by public transport is challenging. There is a very limited bus service to Marlowe House and parking facilities are both limited and costly. The proposed new location would therefore make using the front office extremely difficult, especially for people living in the north of the borough. Neighbourhood policing – a strategic priority for the London Mayor – would also be adversely affected. SNT officers will be spending more time travelling from this Sidcup location to their wards thereby limiting their time engaging with ward residents when on duty.4,162 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Bexley Safer Neighbourhood Board

More Funding For the Mental Health department in Southmead HospitalWe are a group of ten teens who are participating in the National Citizen Service Programme. For our social action, we decided to address issues around Teens' Mental Health. Statistically 1 in 10 teens struggles with their mental health. However, there are many more that don't speak out because there are many restrictions in their way. One of these restrictions is stigma which we want to address in our social action. Another big restriction is the lack of support available. We want more funding's from the NHS to help people around Bristol who are suffering with their mental health. One of our group members struggled with their mental health; here is her story. "Over the past few years, depression has been an unwanted friend. During this period, I also dealt with abuse and bullying which affected me emotionally. This caused me to give up with everything. I couldn't be bothered to get up yet alone revise. After my GCSE's finished life at home got worse. I lost the only friends I had. I didn't leave my bed. I started to get bad thoughts about suicide which lead to self harming. I was too afraid to tell people because of my severe anxiety. Once i opened up and told my friend, I realised there were people that wanted to help me. I was just looking in the wrong place. I decided to not end my life there and then but now I continued it until this day where I can say I'm recovering." Another member of our team had an experience where their sibling's treatment for anorexia was significantly delayed due to a bed shortage because of the lack of funding. These are just two peoples stories. Since so many teens have their own experience, we want to help make it easier for others to receive the support they need as early as possible so they don't have to suffer in silence.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stigma Stoppers

Remove Trevor Kavanagh from the IPSOArticles by Trevor Kavanagh in The Sun about "The Muslim Problem" have serious fascist overtones. Someone with such extremist views has no place in a press standards organisation.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bertie Phelps

MAINS GAS FOR INFILL VILLAGESVILLAGES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ARE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE EXTRA HOUSING WITH A PARTICULAR REQUIREMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. FOR SUCH HOUSING TO HAVE MAINS GAS SHOULD BE A RIGHT TO HAVE PAID FOR BY THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS EXTRA HOUSING JUST AS THE SUPPLY OF WATER AND ELECTRICITY IS. GAS IS MORE EFFICIENT FOR HEATING THAN ELECTRICITY AND OIL OR DELIVERED PROPANE IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WITH YOUNG FAMILIES AND THE ELDERLY IN PARTICULAR. VEHICLES DELIVERING OIL OR PROPANE (CALOR) ARE POLLUTING THE AIR AND CAUSING EXTRA WEAR TO WHAT ARE OFTEN NARROW COUNTRY ROADS AND A MAINS GAS SUPPLY WOULD OVERCOME THESE NEGATIVE ASPECTS COMPLETELY.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nigel Hillier

Safeguarding Seaton Sluice BeachWithout lifeguards and lifebuoys at Seaton Sluice beach, we are both risking the lives of everyone who visits the beach and putting more pressure on the RNLI, who must be called out when people encounter danger in and around the waters.58 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Kelly

Hold Trump To Account On Charlottesville CommentsPresident Trump made comments saying there are 'good people' on the side of the white supremacists in Charlottesville, effectively condoning racism, prejudice, violence, hatred and the neo-Nazis. This is immoral, unjust, dangerous, and wrong, and echoes sentiments last expressed by a major world leader in the 1930's - and they must be condemned. He must take responsibility for his comments, and we must petition our world leaders to hold him to account.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Prescott

Believe in a brighter futurePlease take your time and read this all my own research here all to do with the British legal system how it clearly fails ex prisoners like myself 😯. In Britain there are 82,056 prisoners and a total off 59% off them will re offend in the first 12 months😢. There is a total off 150 active prisons in Britain today😮. The government are complaining about the over crowding off them now 9% off these prisoners are in for petty crime shop lifting breach of the peace ect😔 yet there are supposed to be other ways to deal with this community pay back order and so on but these people are receiving custodial sentences what then leads them to be institutionalised that leads to them again re offending🙇. There are no support networks in place to help people in Britain with this that's where re offending comes in to play. You can get help with offending behaviour from sacro if your under the age off 18 only (5%) but if your over the age off reabilitaition the governments own words you don't get the proper support😒. Now what am getting at is that the only way off bringing down the population in prison is to put positive appropriate sensible measures in place and that's having a support network in place 24 hours a day 7 days a week instead off using all the government funds on idiotic projects🙊 a tried my best to get this to make sense for you guys to see what am getting at here so a hope you get my point🙏10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Mcgettigan

Safer city cycling. And towns too!This makes use of the paths that are already in place alongside most roads in towns and cities. Generally each road has two paths. For example the north to south path could be for pedestrians, the south to north for bicycles. More zebra crossings would be required to allow people to get to their side of the road. Side roads exiting onto main roads would need ’stop' signs rather than ’give way’ signs to ensure the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. The onus should be on the cars to stop as they are the ’stronger’ vehicles, can start and stop more readily and are the more dangerous in every sense. It would subtly shift the emphasis away from the cars dominion. Perceived danger deters people from cycling. From personal health to environmental issues, the fewer cars compared to pedestrians and cyclists there are the better. Why continue the way we are? There are so many issues to face, this is a small step in the right direction, it would not be costly to implement and could revolutionise the roads for us all. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/aug/04/fewer-cars-not-electric-cars-beat-air-pollution-says-top-uk-adviser-prof-frank-kelly The attached article, courtesy of Guardian News & Media Ltd, argues that we need less cars of all types (including electric) on the roads: “Prof Frank Kelly said that while electric vehicles emit no exhaust fumes, they still produce large amounts of tiny pollution particles from brake and tyre dust, for which the government already accepts there is no safe limit. …Toxic air causes 40,000 early deaths a year in the UK" Time for a change.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kate Chamberlain
