Stop selling British Citizenship!We saw the governments refusal to budge on the earning threshold for British Citizens bringing a non-UK/EU partner to live with them. Now, even if someone can afford to bring their partner to live with them, they may never be able to afford to become a British Citizen, meaning they will live with a constant threat of having to leave because of expired visas. The government has now approved its decision to increase the cost of settlement by up to 22.5%. This could increase a single applicant's costs to over £2000. More when you have a family. The government need to stop "selling" citizenship. They need to stop penalising people just because they want to become citizens of this great nation. Surely people's commitment and desire to be a functioning member of society should be of higher importance than the size of your wallet. I have heard first hand, story after story of British Citizens leaving the UK because they cannot afford to bring their partner to live with them. Families get torn apart because it is unaffordable. In addition, there are people who have committed 5 to 10 years to living and working in the UK to building a life here with the hope of become a British Citizen. Not because they want benefits (on the contrary, these are people who have not been allowed access to public funds), in fact, these are people who have only paid in to the system. They want to make a formal commitment to a place they have come to call home. But the government want to charge them extortionate fees to do this. It is time for the government's targeting of hard working people to meet their outrageous and unattainable migration targets to end! Stop penalising or not penalising people based on where in the world they come from. Stop selling British Citizenship to the highest earners! Work for the good of families and people who love this country and focus your efforts against the abusers of the system.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Cockrell

Allow my wife to return to the UK asapMy 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.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Robert Bristow

Bring back egg runFor 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.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tori Daisy Lynam

Stop developers avoiding social housing needs in LondonDisplacement 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.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Dew

Keep Lynton's Emergency Response TeamWe 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.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Whitfield

On line gamblingIt 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.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Cornwell

Reduction of sugar content is wrongly wordedBy 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.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Upton-Huang
