  • Voting for younger people
    Take the EU referendum for example. Many older adults voted to leave the EU, but the people who will be affected in the future by these changes didn't get a say in what happened. If the leaving the EU has its difficulties, then the younger people will be affected. That is why I want you to sign this petition.

  • Pay child benefit monthly.
    It's difficult to plan finances around payments that move around the calendar each month. Direct Debits in particular don't cope well this this. The system is out of touch with modern family finances and needs to be changed.

  • Alcohol and Tobacco Tax to N.H.S
    Firstly; https://fullfact.org/economy/does-smoking-cost-much-it-makes-treasury/ Secondly; https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2015/09/alcohol-tax-revenue-outweighs-cost-of-abuse/ Drinkers and smokers, non drinkers, non smokers, please join my campaign. We all need the fabulous NHS .Please help me to petition the Government to give at least half of their revenue to the good old NHS, not sure where they're spending that money other than short films telling smokers and drinkers of alcohol to quit, better spent on the NHS I think. We may not all choose the same lifestyle but we should be able to decide where our taxes go and I want mine to be spent on the NHS, social housing and education. Put people first and bureaucracy last.

  • U.K. fails to keep its promise
    This is an important matter because it effects the lives of so many young children. Every child deserve the right to a childhood, unfortunately many children from a war zone country like Syria are having this right snatched away from them. Many countries are opening their arms to refugees, and the U.K. should definitely participate purely for the purpose of an act of humanity. Please sign this petition and do share with your friends and families. If they were our children we sure would want the best for them. Let's make the UK the accepting tolerant country it once was. Her recent meeting with Donald Trump has influenced her with this decision, she has also failed to speak against the Muslim ban, despite her being the Prime Minkster of many Muslims. Many people have spoken against this. It just goes to show how the corrupt Donald Trump is beginning to have an impact onto the rest of the world. Not so long ago, there was a meeting held in parliament, for which they were discussing the matter of sending some aid in Syria, the members of parliament who were present that day was truly appalling, not to mention Theresa not even being bothered to show up. Being a British Muslim, and a daughter of two immigrant parents I have always been so proud of how Britian has given a hand out to people desperately seeking for help.Living in a country like this has meant I show pride in my nationality, however with the recent events, I am beginning to question this. Please don't let this country go down. Sign this petition today, and allow refugees to be welcomed in this country.

  • Ask to Government to stick to their commitment of helping 3,000 unaccompanied child refugees
    There is an estimated 90,000 unaccompanied children and teenagers across Europe Help Refugees, one of the British charities working in France, had already launched legal action against the government's handling of Dubs. Its judicial review, which will be heard on Friday, argues that ministers failed to consult local authorities properly about how many unaccompanied children could be housed.

  • Stop The Rot Carlisle
    Residents of Carlisle take great pride in their city yet feel exasperated by the decades that buildings are left to rot without the council taking any action. They're an eyesore that damages trade, deters local investment, are a poor advert for the city to tourists and make the city feel and look unloved. Many of these buildings may also be a hazard to the public walking past them as they have not been maintained for decades.

  • Commercial TV companies must pay public sector organisations for their involvement in documentaries
    The commercial TV companies have it made, no studio, no actors/actresses, low overheads etc. It is frustrating that the public are having to fundraise for the NHS when there is an obvious pot of money which can be gained from a small change in the law. These services are overstretched, the staff are overworked and they are struggling with a lack of funding. Please remember that we the national insurance and tax payers are paying for the services above that commercial TV programmes are being made out of, with the commercial TV companies for far too long being allowed to make such huge profits out of national insurance and tax payer funded services. EVIDENCE/RESEARCH THE INFORMATION BELOW HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS AND SIMILARLY IS STILL GOING ON TODAY, (Investigation over the period of one week sat 6th January- Friday 12th January 2018 more than 103 hours of TV footage was shown of the police over various commercial Freeview channels, and over 29 hours of footage featuring the NHS. This equated to over 24 hours of advertising revenue (YES ADVERTS!) during the police programmes and over 6.7 hours of advertising (YES ADVERTS!) during the NHS programmes). This is a typical example of just one week of the year, and similar will be happening every week which would equate to 1257.7 hours of advertising (YES ADVERTS!) during police programmes and 351.8 hours of advertising (YES ADVERTS!) during the NHS programmes per year. As you can see the amount of advertising (YES ADVERTS!) revenue the emergency services could be taking advantage of is huge, even if they only had a small percentage of the profits from advertising alone it would make a huge contribution towards their funding. I.E. NHS Additional income for more NHS staff & Equipment Additional income to be able to pay for free car parking for staff & visitors POLICE Additional income to be able to pay for extra police officers (policemen on the beat) Additional income to fund local donations to good causes

  • Fairness for the 70+'s
    The population is living longer so more and more people will drop into being 70+. Surely a switch to a 75 year old threshold and then a yearly confirmation of healthy status, would be a much fairer approach!

  • Open sports centre cafe on a monday
    There is a pre school sports session on and then many use soft play after, would be good to get drink, snack or lunch. Vending machines wouldn't work for hot drinks and the snack one is filled with fizzy juice and chocolate and crisps

  • Save our sports facilities Save our greenland
    Because at the moment these plans are quickly being put through whilst the general public are unaware of the new plans. They intend to knock Richard dunn's down and rebuild on Sedbergh playing fields but without any of the slides, cafe, squash courts, badminton, tennis, cycle track, various exercise classes, children's zone etc . They are chopping down a large amount of trees some with tree preservation orders all on the green land at sedberg that local people have always used as we have no park. This is on top of the loss of the other bradford pool's that they are already closing.

  • Save the Polio Fellowship South West of England Development Officer Role from Redundancy!
    THE PETITION Rebecca Colpus's role as the Development Officer for the South West of England has been made redundant! The polio fellowship central office offered only limited support to the Groups in the South West beyond Bristol prior to her arrival. Rebecca has built up the southwest as a strong network of members connecting post polio survivors and providing them with resources that have been life saving and the demise of her role will be catastrophic! In addition the action directly contravenes the British Polio Fellowships Mission statement! This is the British Polio Fellowships Mission Statement:- "The British Polio Fellowship seeks to empower and support all people in the UK living with the effects of Polio and PPS by: Actively campaigning in support of their rights and needs and those of their carers Providing information, welfare and support to enable people to live full independent and integrated lives and being the first resource on Polio and Post Polio Syndrome Supporting a Regional / Branch / Group structure that enables mutual support amongst members to be carried out in a caring and inclusive environment Raising the profile of The British Polio Fellowship to enhance its effectiveness and to seek out all those who may benefit from our services Developing world-wide alliances with other Polio and Post Polio groups for the mutual benefit of all our members The British Polio Fellowship is committed to supporting and developing its staff and volunteers to the most effective use of its resources."
