• Shepperton Health Centre Service Charge increases
    The practice is essential to the community and over inflating running costs without justification is detrimental to the people that it serves.

  • Allow my wife to return to the UK asap
    My wife has just had to 'voluntarily ' return to the Philippines after being in the UK for 3 yrs. She was a victim of typhoon Yolanda in 2013 and we have been married for almost 8 years. Due to red tape she was detained with no warning and held in an immigration removal centre for several weeks in a very distressed state. She was not allowed to be released temporarily in order to pack and prepare etc even though we had 2 bail guarantors. She has committed no crime other than being regarded as a ' visa overstayer ' and has been treated in a disgraceful manner. We have been fighting this matter for the last 3 years in a proper manner through an immigration lawyer. I have just recently discovered that our lawyer is not in fact a qualified lawyer but an ' Immigration advisor ' She is now banned from re entering the UK for a minimum of 12 months. She departed the Philippines homeless and in a traumatised condition and has returned homeless and traumatised . Her state of mind has always been dismissed and she has never been shown an ounce of compassion. We have built a home together in the UK and now we have been forced apart. I am very concerned for her wellbeing as I am for my own.

  • Bring back egg run
    For many years the egg run has been the heart of the Wirral. Bikers travel far to do this amazing thing for the children of the local hospitals. They don't just give out Easter eggs they donate so much of their own money too help fund for variety of things.. more people with get involved if it it's brought back to how it used too be. I vote that we sign this petition too get the egg run back.

  • Stop developers avoiding social housing needs in London
    Displacement caused by gentrification is exacerbated by developers greed for increased in land values. Gentrified areas cover 1/16th of London's area (Akinson, 2008).In a number of instances (Heygate Estate, Aylesbury Estate and Carpenter Estate) whole communities have been displaced in the process of physical renewal. Many areas of London have been occupied by the middle classes causing the original working class residents to be displaced (Glass, 1994). Developers magnify the problem by creating indirect and direct causes of displacement. Developers are directly avoiding the social housing needs of the city (Booth, 2016). Their new buildings put pressure on the housing market leading to the indirect pricing out of low income individuals (Atkinson, 2000).Developers are even willing to pay fines implemented due to the lack of social housing as they see the beneficiaries in avoiding their implementation (Wainwright, 2015; Booth, 2016). Private developers benefit, from gentrification, at the expense of communities in London. The City Claim back campaign is worried everyday Londoners will be displaced, by the greed of developers, through gentrification.

  • Keep Lynton's Emergency Response Team
    We are a remote rural area with a large number of elderly and retired residents. As well as the locals, we have many tourists visit us, a lot of them are walkers due to the mountainous terrain around Lynton. Add to that the fact that we have a harsh rocky coastline and the fact that the roads in this area are far narrower than those in cities or other urban areas, and it's fair to say the Emergency Response Team (ERT) is kept busy here. Moving the ERT to Ilfracombe and/or Barnstaple would increase the response time of paramedics dramatically and it would increase the workload of already heavily burdened first responders. As a Scout Group, we feel passionately about this and we are against the decision to move our ERT %100. One of our Scouts was treated by our ERT and it took nearly 10 minutes for them to get to him - if they had to come from Barnstaple or Ilfracombe, it would have taken 3 or 4 times longer! The proposed relocation of the Emergency Response Team would leave all residents and visitors to the Lyn Valley area even more vulnerable than they already are and lives will be put at risk. Please sign this petition to ask Cllr Andrea Davis to stop the decision made by South West Ambulance Service Foundation Trust (SWASFT) to relocate the Emergency Response Team and keep the Team here in Lynton.

  • On line gambling
    It is important because I went from being a responsible person who had never gambled, to losing my home my job and all my self respect. This awful disease found me late in life and the devastation it caused is unimaginable, my fear is for the younger generation, they are growing up thinking it is normal to gamble on phones, iPads etc 24/7. It is the new crack cocaine of our generation. These sites produce slots that are addictive and hypnotic and they don't care how much they take from you. I am not saying that everyone who uses these sites become addicts, but for the many that do, it is devastating. Please help me to try and stop more people having to go through the horror of what I went through.

  • Reduction of sugar content is wrongly worded
    By just making manufacturers reduce the sugar content by 20%, they will just reduce the weight. "We reduced the amount of sugar from 100g to 80g, we cut the weight from 200g to 160g!". By wording the reduction to 20 'by volume' then they will have to keep the size the same but reduce the actual sugar percentage, which will make the snacks healthier.

  • Remove Eagle Couriers NHS Contract
    This is important because, Eagle Couriers are exploitative towards the drivers who do the work, and in both the manner in which they treat them and pay them. Drivers are expected to work a 10hr day and also be on call at all other times, which is unsafe as drivers can be on the road for a sustained amount of time. For example, a driver may have worked a long shift during the day, then be called out after his/her shift to make another long journey which could be anywhere Britain delivering emergency blood supplies/drugs/human tissue. All though drivers are "self-employed" they are unable to refuse the work as the company will then withold future work from them, as a means of punishment. Drivers pay for there own fuel and van. When considering the length of hours involved and costs accrued to the driver, they are regularly working for far less than the minimum wage, often £2-3ph. We believe this is unacceptable behaviour for a company who's contracted for vital work within our NHS. Please sign this petition to help bring this to the attention of Shona Robison MSP. Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for your support. Stuart Morgan.

  • Frontline Services could miss out on Social Care Funding
    If you or your family depend on social carers to help you live at home please join me in Standing Up for Social Care. In response to the Social Care Crisis, the government has allocated a phased increase to Social Care Funding via local authorities. However, it is not as straight forward as it appears to be, because some local authorities already know there are funding conditions that prevent funds being allocated to the ‘frontline’ of social care services because funding will be shared or influenced by Health. What does that mean to families depending on Social Care? It means Health Services will get the funding and Social Care Services will remain in the same ‘Crisis’! The ‘Social Care Crisis’ is a serious warning of the potential collapse of the essential Social Care Services in our communities. Social Care Services and the amazing people who work at the frontline of Care in Our Communities are seen as the unskilled poor relation of Health Services. In reality our social carers are the highly skilled workforce throughout the UK who are the key to reducing part a significant part of the burden on Health Services. Unless we find a cure for all degenerative diseases (MS, Parkinson’s, Dementia, Motor Neuron Disease to name but a few of a very long list) we will always NEED Social Care Services to take the pressure off Health Services. A hospital stay currently costs £400 a day & 4 daily Social Care Visits currently costs £60 for 4 hours. It is not difficult to see why the appropriate use of Social Care Funding can stop ‘bed blocking’ completely and save the NHS huge amounts of money. So why can’t hospitals find Social Care Providers to discharge their patients into the care of?? Because Social Care is in CRISIS – and providers cannot continue to be underpaid to provide care and are in urgent NEED of increased funding at frontline of social care. If we keep doing what we are doing – we will keep getting what we are getting – and we are very quickly losing Social Care Providers every week! So if we don’t take this crisis more seriously – Social Care will collapse. David Mowatt (as our Parliamentary Under Secretary for Community Care) can ensure that announced funds will be used to resolve the social care crisis. But WE need to petition him to listen to the voice of Social Care. Do you know or love someone who could not live at home without social carers coming in? Together we can make a difference – please sign this petition. Thank you.
