• Sack George Osborne
    George Osbourne is clearly out for his own ends and is not acting in the best interests of the people. Its time for him to go, before he does any further damage.

  • Encourage 38 degrees members to Boycott non tax and living wage paying companies
    We've been trying to get companies to pay tax and a living wage for years - unsuccessfully. It's clear we have to hit these companies in the only place they will listen - their wallets.

  • Keep pedestrians safe
    This is a blind crossing point, because of the configuration of the junction, and the fence round the adjoining property. It is much used by persons wishing to access the Sherwood House surgery at 9 Sandon Road, many of whom are elderly, disabled, or young mums. I am concerned as Secretary to the local Neighbourhood Forum that there may be a fatality at the junction if something is not done.

  • NO PRIVATE POLICING ON OUR STREETS.
    G4S is a private company and is known to charge a lot for bad service, low wages, and unreliable staff, probably because of low wages. There is no substitute for a State-owned police force.

  • stop G4S Police power
    Giving private companies more "public" power diminishes the ability of those public servants with the training and focus to use the power with the job. So, trined Police use Police powers: not untrained private G4S use police powers.

  • Keep police work in police hands!
    Because public safety and police matters should be fronted by the police, not an agency that has proven history of making big mistakes! How do you feel knowing this could be coming to your community soon? Scary isn't it.

  • Carers Allowance to continue to be paid after retirement age
    Many carers continue to look after people with substantial caring needs once they (the carers) reach retirement age, yet are no longer financially rewarded for doing so. Attendance Allowance is only payable to the disabled person once they reach 65! Unlike paid employment, where upon reaching the age of approximately 65, the State Pension is payable and those retired can spend their time doing as they please. The Government considers Carers Allowance to be overlapping with the State Pension (both are considered payments in lieu of paid employment, but Carers Allowance, according to the Government is neither a wage nor a salary). Carers continue in their role 24/7!!

  • texting whilst driving
    It puts lives at risk - its extremely dangerous not to look at the road whilst driving. Seems to be the norm lately. Witnessed car crossing red lights at speed oblivious, pulled along side later, yes texting still. To think of the fine being the same as a parking offence is unbelievable.

  • Stop the Government selling off police work to incompetent G4S
    We have a skilled, trained Police force that is having its budget carved up, officers losing pay and benefits so that incompetent G4S can make more money from the UK Government despite being bailed out by the army when they completely messed up Olympic security

  • Change 4 the ignored
    As part of our homelessness campaign,we would like to raise awareness of the homeless and what the government are not doing to help. Hopefully this campaign will help people understand the issue of homelessness and see what the government can do to prevent it. The government classify that there're around 20 homeless people in Birmingham but in actual fact their are 892 people. Homelessness is not a small concern. One of the news headlines, back in 2010, had said that one-in-three Britons will have been touched by homelessness.This is shocking,in fact,this should've shocked us into action. If something is not done about this,more of us will be living on the streets. Without a shelter. Without our everyday necessities. The government is for the people, not just those who have made the best decisions and made no mistakes. Our country has enough resources that none of its citizens should be without a home.It's quite shameful, that in a country, as wealthy as ours, we have citizens living on the streets. The true measure of a society is how it treats it's most vulnerable members. Therefore, the government should be doing much more than it is for the homeless population.They need help and understanding, and they need it from their government. Homelessness is your problem whether you recognize it or not. Everyday more and more people lose a job, unable to pay bills, and eventually end up losing their home. I have seen families live in cars and work while trying to survive. This is the harsh reality.
