Make Hopkinstown Road SafeThere are too many injuries and sometimes deaths on Hopkinstown Road. We need some traffic calming measures at least. It is irresponsible of any highways agency to ignore this serious problem. How many times do people have to suffer loss and injury before highways authorities take notice. How many times do we have to ask?840 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Gareth Williams

stop automatic organ donor opt-inPeople should be able to donate their organs by choice, not assumption. I want to give my organs as a gift, not by the Assembly making the decision for me. They are my organs and I have that right.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Greg Last

Allow clapping in the House of Commons and improve other 'Parliamentary behaviour'.Because the Speaker admonished SNP MP's for clapping (a traditional way of showing approval) yet allows braying, guffawing, jeering, gestures and bellowing week after week, particularly at PM question times- which is one reason MPs are not respected.352 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Gregory Parker

Votes for 16+This vote is not an election. It is a referendum. Young people will be affected more than the elderly. They have as much right, if not more, to have their voices heard.48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Heather Bodden

Stop the sale of housing association housingIn the first place, it advantages folk who are paying far less rent than those who have to rent in the private sector. They should not then be able to buy the houses at a cut price, while reducing the stock of affordable housing. It isn't as if we have an oversupply of such housing and it really isn't fair! People in affordable housing should use their advantage to save a deposit and buy on the open market, like everyone else has to do which would free up their housing association house for those who need it. We need more affordable housing not less. We have families in bed and breakfasts.159 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Christine Emms

Save Sophie's Nursing DegreeSophie has been a care giver for her grandmother Violet for many years and has still managed to enter a degree level course and achieved amazing grades. Since Sophie is unable to prove that she is an independant learner the NHS bursary are refusing Sophie the money she needs to finish the course. Sophie will be an amazing mental health nurse and I dont think a person sat in front of a computer should have the power to take this away from her. Sophie is not asking for any more money she just wants what she usually gets so she can finish her course and become a NURSE, something that the country is crying out for! Sophie has become a great friend of mine and I hate seeing her so upset please sign this petition so that she can at least get a chance of finishing with her friends.484 of 500 SignaturesCreated by kellyann kay

Child Tax Credit Helpline - Not fit for purpose!We are frustrated that calls are not answered, message states busy call volumes - this is not acceptable. We are frustrated that average waiting times are 30 -45 minutes with calls costing 9p a minute this is often more than most people can afford. Advisers seem to struggle understanding the notes on screen, letters sent seem not to make it on to the system, advisers are not able to say what will be paid when or how much -this helps no one. Advisers require further training! " Recently called CTC over 4 days before able to get through when money dropped due to their error - no food for the kids or petrol to get to work -left on hold for 45 minutes- money I couldn't afford but had to choose between food and the call to get the mistake sorted out!" This service is entitled a helpline but this is far from the service experienced, which leaves many in financial hardship and without a clear answer to the initial reason for the call.50 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marina Humphreys

Ban Incoming Premium Text MesssagesI have recently been the victim of an Incoming Premium Rate Text Message scam. Fortunately TalkTalk, my Mobile Phone Provider eMailed me to warn me I had gone over my monthly allowance, and this is how I learned that I was being charged £4.50 for each one of these messages I had received. I had not knowingly subscribed to this. After doing some research I found that this scam is by no means an uncommon incident & is growing all the time. It even seems to have an authority (PhonePayPlus) which is supposed to monitor it. This, in itself, is ridiculous. It is clearly a way of making money under false pretences. All Premium Rate Text Messages are a rip off, but at least when making outgoing ones at least the customer is making the concious decision to throw their money away. These, however, are INCOMING. Most of all I was amazed to learn that this way of covertly taking money by deception is actually legal. This, to anyone with any sense of common decency can see this to be morally outrageous. Incoming Premium Rate Text Messages are theft, plain and simple, making use of some loophole in the law, targeting the most vulnerable. This loophole needs closing.142 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jerry Gamble
