• MOD look after ex service people who are on the streets
    Today is Remembrance Sunday 2016, we all remember those who have fallen in the service of our country, but what about those who are living through hell? These ex service people need somewhere safe and warm to get back on their feet, no matter how long it takes. For many, living in a military environment would be like coming home, it would be familiar to them, even though it may not be a proper military camp, the buildings, the layout and the environment would be something they could all identify with. Yes all of these people volunteered to serve our country and go wherever the MOD decided to send them to do whatever needed to be done, they didn't question it, they just went and did it to the best of their ability. Many came out the other end without problems, but many did have problems when they left the services and now find themselves living a hopeless life, on the streets, cold and vulnerable and only charities to help them, it's high time the Government and MOD faced up to their responsibilities and adhered to the terms of the Military Covenant and looked after their own. Please retain one of your estates and fully fund it for the sake of these unfortunate people.

  • Honour the Brexit campaign pledge to increase NHS funding by £350m a week
    One of the most popular, influential and much repeated campaign pledges of the Brexit lobby was to spend our EU membership fees on improving the NHS. The figure proffered was £350 million a week. Official Vote Leave posters said: “Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week.” The infamous campaign bus said: "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead" The people have voted, the electorate has spoken, let's call upon the government to honour that pledge. Let's take back control.

  • Table a referendum on the outcome of Brexit negotiations before triggering Article 50
    52% of the British people have spoken, we want to leave the EU, but we have been given no concrete details of what that actually entails. Article 50 needs to be triggered but we need assurances from the government that our voices will continue to be heard, that out best interests will be kept in mind, that the UK as a whole will be best served in this move. Some of the poorest communities in our country have, until now, relied upon EU funding. We need to know what the government will do to ensure that those people most at risk will not suffer as a result of this move. We need to know that the jobs we all rely on to put food on the table will not be at risk as a result of the deals being negotiated on our behalf. In short, we shouldn't be leaving the EU at any cost. We have to know that it is the very best move for our families and the wider UK population as a whole and the government must be held accountable for this by way of a second referendum.

  • Remembrance Sunday- The Living Men and Woman Veterans who have been forgotten by their country.
    This Generation have given us everything. They fought for our freedom during WW2. Yet we give them nothing but misery, made to live on a pittance of a State pension. Without this Generations efforts and sacrifices during WW2, none of us would be here today.

  • Improve bus services in and around Plymouth
    Public transport is very important, especially for young people, as it provides independence and improves connections between places. However, many young people find themselves unable to afford the increasing prices of buses: for example, a single to Tavistock costs £4.80 for those over 15. Additionally, many bus services to areas surrounding Plymouth are very infrequent: the bus to Wembury can be less often than every 2 hours. Better public transport will greatly increase the connections between areas in Plymouth, and will make the lives of young people much easier.

  • We demand a Local Referendum to decide the future of Poole Council
    A consultation has begun on options for splitting the county into two unitary authorities Thousands of Residents have expressed their concern over the lack of democratic process and said the consultation is not reaching constituents 8 out of 10 people asked said they “did not know anything about it, other said “it’s a done deal, what can we do about it?” Others say the Merger is 'inevitable' The Crime Commissioner Mr Underhill has been reported as saying: "Where's the democracy here? A referendum would cost less than roughly 1% of the savings projected - it's about a million pounds - but for such a big democratic change, why don't we actually give people a referendum?" Mr Underhill has been reported to also criticise the exclusion of a "single Dorset unitary" option, previously suggested and debated by councils. One of the proposals being put to the public is the merger of Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and East Dorset and the formation of a smaller conurbation of North Dorset, Purbeck, West Dorset and Weymouth & Portland, but this is not the preferred option by the councils Another option is for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to join forces with the remaining councils forming the second unitary authority A third option would be for the existing unitaries of Bournemouth and Poole to combine, leaving the rest of Dorset to merge A fourth option is to retain all nine councils There has been a lot spent on consultations that attracted 40 people or less. The consultation is not reaching ALL households as a Local Referendum would, everyone would then have the opportunity to respond It has been reported that the Councils have already started to merge services in preparation to merge the Councils which is fueling the ‘done deal’ and ‘inevitable’ fears of the Public Sign this petition to demand a Local Referendum on the merging of Councils in Dorset, by signing you will be sending a message out to the Councils that WE THE PUBLIC WANT TO DECIDE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNCILS
