  • Get the EU commission to reverse their ivory ban decision
    Because by allowing even a limited trade in ivory it will lead to the extinction of elephants in the wild within 25 years. The ivory trade is also a driver of criminal activity that causes misery and hardships to many African Communities.

  • Make politics a compulsory part of the National curriculum in secondary schools.
    Considering that only 72% of the U.K. Population voted in the recent EU referendum and that many voters seemed to have not realised what they may have been voting for it is now time to offer pupils at secondary schools an education in politics. This subject is vitally important to not only empower people to exercise their right to vote but to also encourage younger people to engage in a democratic process that affects their lives in so many ways. A career in politics seems to be exclusive to those who have received a university education and this will further exclude those from less privileged backgrounds. If we do not teach the next generation about the value of politics then we are faced with a narrow minority of our population affecting the day to day lives of the inhabitants of this country furthering the political divide we already have. Vote for politics in all schools!

  • Save lives by installing cameras & barriers on Stratford Road
    The council have stated that they will not take steps to improve this area until there have been fatalities. Why? It seems ludicrous to wait for this to happen when there could be improvements made quite simply. There have been several accidents at this site and this whole area is made more dangerous by the lack of speed cameras in this area of the Stratford Road. Residents have described seeing cars regularly travelling at excessive speeds (day or night) which of course will make any incident more serious! They have also described constant skidding, racing, speeding and boy racers/motorbikes doing wheelies around the Island. As a result, residents have heard and witnessed some upsetting road traffic collisions(RTC's) including injuries since the Island has been built. The railings at the pedestrian crossing have been totally destroyed in an incident that happened on a Sunday morning at 7.30am - 3rd July 16.There were actually 2 accidents that morning and one the day before. A temporary barrier has been put up but this has been either blown or knocked down leaving pedestrians totally exposed to danger! This crossing is now too dangerous for people to use, which is potentially lethal considering the speed of the vehicles travelling here. THE COUNCIL CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE RAILINGS DUE TO COST - we would like to ask them to reconsider. This is an accident hotspot which could have a tragic incident at any moment. We would like to ask you to make it safer BEFORE a death occurs.

  • Single use plastic must stop
    Single use Plastic as a whole needs to stop. I feel as though this should not need petitioning and should just be done, every bit of plastic we have ever made still exists today, killing animals and destroying environments. Let alone to mentions the chemicals in plastics that enters our body via food and beverages.

  • Try Tony Blair for the Iraq war
    Iraq is now a failed state and home to terrorist groups such as Islamic State. There is great intolerance between shi'ite and sunni communities which did not exist before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Many British and American servicemen lost their lives and millions of civilians have been killed,displaced or orphaned.

  • SAVE NEWSON'S TIMBER YARD
    Belgravia residents do not want this new development. As well as the timber yard, by threatening to relocate locally owned independent retailers, Grosvenor’s plans will put local jobs, the vibrant local economy and Belgravia’s heritage at risk.

  • Hold a General Election to decide Brexit Government
    Because the UK must now to take steps to begin to function as a sovereign country independent from the European Union, it is only democratic that the people of Britain are given the chance to elect a party who they believe are best suited to run the country following the Brexit vote. The state of the country has changed vastly since the last election and many would agree that a conservative government are not desirable in a post-Brexit Britain. The people must seize back the power by voting in a new election for the government in which they now have confidence.

  • Team Orders
    F1 is a viewer based sport, without viewers, both at the venues, and at home watching on tv, there would be very little point in racing. Viewers don't want to see a race outcome decided by team orders, they want to see the best driver win in his own merit. At the moment Mercedes are at the top of the pack in F1 and offering some thrills to viewers by letting their drivers race wheel to wheel if the opportunity arises.

  • Referendum on more powers for Welsh Assembly Government
    When we had the last referendum on more powers being devolved to Wales the question included this statement, which had been agreed by both groups of politicians, AM's and MP's "The Assembly cannot make laws on subject areas such as defence, tax or welfare benefits, whatever the result of this vote.". Since then Ministers in both Westminster and Cardiff repeated that promise of asking the people again before more powers are devolved. That promise has been quietly dropped and so when more powers, such as tax raising powers, are allowed they won't be legitimately endorsed because there has been no opportunity to agree or reject them, another broken promise from politicians.

  • Sack the Transport Minister - Get our train system back
    This is important because it should be possible for all sections of society to travel peaceably and with reasonable certainty to their destinations safely and on time. The present minister has been instrumental in promoting the railway companies to engineer strike action which she can avoid instantly by telling them to stop all such actions and leave the system as it is. By not doing that and avoiding her direct responsibility in this she has forfeited her right to be a minister of the crown, as she has clearly demonstrated that she is prepared to let millions of the electorate suffer day in day out for ideological reasons only. This is an abdication of her supreme responsibility as a Minister of the crown. We the electorate are now no longer willing to tolerate her and the railway companies able to inflict this economic and human stress on the population.
