This would protect both staff and residents help improve the care the elderly receive and cut down on neglect and abuse.

Stevenson Square is a space that the people of Manchester could own, in a city that lacks publicly owned community spaces. It was once a space for open-air speakers, a meeting place for all and the starting point for processions and celebrations. Today we're seeing the revival of that culture with street parties, markets, cafes, bars and restaurants spilling out into the square. But it can never be the vibrant public space we need whilst cars continue to dominate it. By removing the right of cars and buses to use Hilton Street the square could be a permanent space for music events, festivals, community gardens or just people enjoying their lunches in the sun. Just look at what happened when Levelz took over the square for just a few hours as part of Record Store Day https://twitter.com/LEVELZMCR?lang=en. Pure fun.

Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths. ___________ As a recent graduate taking my first steps in my career, I'm considering long term housing rather than long term renting. Many like me are doing the same in Birmingham, but sadly we may be being cheated of feasible means of settling in our nation's second city. Bottom lines left unchecked don't add up to fair societies. Let's hold companies accountable to their legal responsibilities in required affordable housing. -Sam, Campaigner

It's important to allow easy acces for UK voters to vote in a way that fits around modern life. It's also important that if we open up this access that we get a clear understanding of the pledges each party are making so that voters can make a truly informed decision that aligns with people's values and principles for the UK should be run.

16 & 17 year olds are more politically engaged in the last generations 16 & 17 year olds . 16 & 17 year olds participate in society so in fairness they should be granted the vote!

Lucklawhill is a country lane, which is consistently plagued by dangerous speeding traffic. Despite its narrow boundary parametres, and limited traffic capacity, it has been historically a 60 mph zone. Recently, following ongoing concerns, residents sought a reduction in the speed limit, resulting in a reduction to 30 mph. However, this outcome is not sufficient for a number of reasons. Firstly, a 30 mph is an unsafe speed for a narrow country lane with over a dozen blind entrance/exit ways. There are no pavements or pathways to avoid vehicles travelling on the lane. Dog/ leisure walkers, pony hackers, and local wildlife continue to be at risk of speeding cars. Many of the residents have pet animals, and live stock which are placed at increased risk of accident, injury, and fatality. Indeed several residents have had animals killed, and have been faced with significant physical damage to property from vehicles driving at uncontrolled excess speed. It is clear therefore, that local residents and other lane users/ visitors are at best disadvataged, and at worse vulnerable to harm. Secondly, the local authority have not pledged to provide and erect any clear road signage on Lucklawhill which is essential in order to inform road users to reduce their speed. In addition, practical measures such as speed bumps would ensure forced speed reduction, thus increasing safety on the lane. However both speed signage, and practical speed bumps are not considered to be financially viable by the Fife Council. By signing this petition we can demonstrate to Fife Council that we are serious about our concerns, and we wish them to consider our requests.

2015 saw 1.5 million 16 and 17 year olds were denied their democratic right to vote in a referendum which impacts this generation the most. June the 8th of 2017 the U.K. will see a general election and a repeat of young people being denied a voice. Lowering the voting age will help the UKs voter turnout deficit. Giving 16-17 year olds the opportunity to cast their vote will help create manifestos which are targeted not only to the older generation but also to the younger generation.

Edmonton is one of the most deprived areas of the U.K. It is also perhaps the most ethnically diverse and community spirited. Since busking in Edmonton I have had children dancing, pensioners singing along, people taking videos and selfies and nothing but support, smiles and good will from everyone who has heard me playing. We have had many troubles in Edmonton....particularly gang-related murders, but people here strive to live in harmony, and amidst the struggles of their day to day living they seem to enjoy my busking more than those at Covent Garden, Piccadilly Square, the London Underground and all across the U.K. and places I have played over the globe. I generally believe that my attitude and music contributes to the joy and beauty of this very special town. I have been stabbbed, struggled through mental illness and foster care, but have been a youth worker for the twenty years I have lived in Edmonton and I merely want to give something to these wonderful people and help my own journey a little in an honest positive way.

An escalation of hostilities could result in a nuclear war that would kill thousands of innocent people with no tangible outcome.
