BETTER LOCATION FOR STIRLING GRADUATION 2017/18The University of Stirling should take the opportunity of its 50th anniversary to allow its students to graduate from somewhere far more interesting than a sports centre tennis hall. It is, frankly, disrespectful to its graduands to do so. Stirling Castle has a main hall and a church that could accommodate - if not as many - an acceptable number of attendees. Arrangements could easily be made to allow for more guests to attend the ceremony. Furthermore, as such an iconic part of Stirling, how better to integrate the university with its surrounding city than this? Dunblane Cathedral is a far larger location, which would be perfectly suited for this occasion. However, it is obviously a religious setting and slightly removed from the campus. Practicality deems it a better place for size, but there are problems that may be a hindrance.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ross Brannigan

The Earth verses TrumpTill now Governments and their people across the globe have given good grace to commercial interests. Allowing time to change their culture and processes. Reneging on a bench mark commitment as important as the Paris Accord should be met with total intransigence from all elected and public bodies and their people. The UK Government, all EU member states and the industrialised countries have committed themselves and their people to the Paris Accord. Therefore: If the United States wishes to continue to use fossil fuels to power it's industries and commerce and to refuse to adopt the change already agreed by them - then we here in the UK and across Europe must reject and limit the harm of that country's industry by declaring all United States business unfit for trade.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Wells

Let our dogs on the beachIt's important for dogs to be allowed on the beach to have a paddle in the hot weathers even if it's in the evenings When most people have gone home ,because most responsible dogs owner don't take there dogs out in the blistering heat anyway but would be nice after 7 for them to have a paddle and cool down . And most responsible dogs owners clean up after there dogs unlike some humans lately, which annoys me greatly, us dogs owners would really appreciate if this was to be put into consideration,18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Harle

Clean up Social HousingThe UK has regulating bodies covering all aspects of life, that members of the public can complain to about poor standards of service. Yet Social Housing is not one of them, despite housing costs being the largest essential outlay for most of us. I am a Hyde Housing Association leaseholder, struggling for one year, to get answers to questions about service charges, for services not rendered. I have ample evidence, yet most of my emails have not only been ignored by staff but also the CEO, the Ombudsman and a local councilor and all published/promised deadlines have been missed. The sums involved are not worth the stress of preparing for and costs of Tribunal but that is my only remaining option. There is much evidence online, of leaseholders and tenants of leading housing associations, seeking justice for unfair charges or worse, life-threatening, unattended repairs and of suspect practices and negligence. In 2015, total UK housing association stock stood at 2,828,000 and this will have risen with new build initiatives designed to deal with the housing crisis. Potentially, the vast majority of the leaseholders and tenants of these properties, could be either unaware that their service charges do not reflect actual expenditure or are aware and are unable to get justice. It is a national disgrace that these bodies, endorsed and supported by Government, who the public should be able to trust, are not being held to account for their exceedingly poor practices and continue to win awards and new contracts at the expense of millions of households. Please support this petition, in particular, if you are a housing association leaseholder or tenant who is sick of grand statements, that are rarely lived up to.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sonia Reid

Keep High Functioning Autism as part of NHS diagnostic services.As someone with HFA, i feel this is hugely beneficial to the person and family involved. It could be potentially damaging to a childs future, if they were not to receive a diagnosis that could benefit them, their family and their education and unlock doors to them getting appropriate support.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carly Considine Âû

Protection of Loch Awe as a place of outstanding beauty.People who live here cherish the tranquility and beauty of their surroundings, many of them retired and in the autumn of their lives. This is of no importance to developers who have only money making in mind. Our investment is our time, our energy and our care to save this environment for future generations.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by June Rraven

Prevent Autism diagnoses being reduced under NHS planWould you only diagnose the most severe broken bones and forget about the rest? Does that not seem stupid. Then why would the NHS do this with autism? This has a major impact on children, adults and their families. Without a diagnosis it leads to fewer resources and funding available to those who would have been diagnosed prior to this plan. When people are on the spectrum and even before diagnosis they and their families often experience discrimation and this is another example of discrimating against them. People on the autistic spectrum are 7 times more likely to get expelled. This plan is another clear message being sent out from the government and NHS that they are a naughty child when in fact they are autistic. Ultimately it will let every child and adult who would have been diagnosed down in an enormous manor. It really does not advocate or raise awareness of autism in fact it does the complete opposite. With help people on the autistic spectrum can achieve their full potential surely we want to have an inclusive country who is forward thinking?36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy Clark-Maxwell

Fix the Chanterlands Ave Railway BridgeThe bridge is in a poor state and urgently needs work. Representatives met with local people and promised to do something six months ago. Until Network Rail have completed their work , the damage done to the heritage tiles, railings and lighting cannot be fixed. The walls are coated in slime and it is on a busy school and shopping route. It is ugly and unhealthy.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by chris dowd
