Keep the Colwyn Bay Rat-Run CLOSEDThe Council are at present improving the promenade between Victoria Pier and The Toad, in Colwyn Bay, Conwy. To carry out this work they have closed the road between those two points. The result is that a fairly large number of vehicles which usually use this road have to choose a different route. After a month of this it is clear that such traffic is readily carried by other roads in the town. Most importantly, the promenade is now vastly safer for pedestrian users and cyclists, who no longer have great difficulty safely crossing the road. Also the beachside atmosphere is far more relaxed. There is no disruption to using your car to drive to the beach from the East or from the West, the only change is that you have to return the way you came. For beach users this is ideal. Nowhere has access been denied and there is one community, who live in the Dingle, who now only have the option to leave their houses and drive East two minutes to access the local expressway (A55). The construction works on the Promenade are due to be completed in May 2017. I am hereby petitioning the Council to KEEP THE PROMENADE ROAD CLOSED2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Hemmings

Support Luton Town football club relocation plansA football club is a vital part of any community which draws people together. This was demonstrated in 2009 when 44,000 residents of Luton attended the new Wembley stadium to watch the team win its last major trophy. It was great to see fans from all sections of the community coming together in hope and celebration, and I would like to see more. The game is called 'association football' with good reason! The current stadium at Kenilworth road is located in a very inaccessible part of town which leads to congestion and traffic problems on match days. The limited capacity of the current stadium also restricts the progress of the team going forwards. The consortium behind these plans (2020 developments) are mostly local businessmen and true supporters of the town. Having already saved the club from being disbanded in 2009 they have sustained the club through five long years of non-league football - this is not an exercise in profiteering. This development is not just about football, but the football club can be the centre around which the community can coalesce. Luton has received a bad press over the years. It has suffered a decline in common with many other post industrial towns across the country. This development will regenerate the town center and provide employment for many people locally both during construction and going forward. Also, in contrast to the current trend for taking things 'out of town' this development will revitalise the town centre, providing a venue for concerts and other cultural activities which are currently sorely lacking. Please support this application.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Michael Lee

MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO PARK ON PAVEMENTS!Many pavements are now impassable walkers due to the growing number of vehicles parked on pavements. Add to that the wheelie bins that remain on pavements all week long! This is my understanding- Footpaths are for pedestrians. Roads are for vehicles. Wheelie bins can only be put out on the pavement on the day of collection another taken back within the boundary of the property. Ever watched a parent with a pram push their precious child into the road to get past a vehicle? Ever seen school child step into the road to pass a vehicle parked on the pavement? Vehicles are parked without consideration. Vehicles are parked straddling yellow lines. Vehicles are parked ON pavements! Who cares? Who should be stopping it? Who should be enforcing the law? PAVEMENTS ARE FOR PEDESTRIANS!13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Linda Brady

Endometriosis awareness should be a part of sex education & HRT should be free on the NHSI would like to understand why HRT is not free on the NHS. I would like to know as at the age of 29 year old I have to pay £8.45 a month for HRT as I have endometriosis when the contraceptive pill is free. I do have a prepaid annual prescription card that costs £104.00. But not every woman can afford this. Endometriosis awareness is very important. I started my period when I was 11. I didn't realise that they weren't 'normal.' If I had been made aware of the condition it may not have taken me so long for me to get diagnosed, as was one of the common side effects of endometriosis is Irregular and painful periods.132 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Feetham

Ban Dangerous Pesticides in South & Vale of White Horse OxfordshireThe use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

Stop the HS2 rail lineIt is going to cost in excess of £5,650 per INCH!!!! and for what gain, just to get to the destination 20 minutes sooner. And as Bill Bryson says in his book: if you have 20 minutes to spare, what do you do - have a cup of coffee!33 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sue Williams

Re-instate Sound MoneyThe current system of creating money through the sale of ever increasing layers of debt, and now, the BofE operating an unaccountable balance sheet which defies principle or prudence, is plumbing the depths of fantasy economics, is unsustainable in nature. It is starting to resemble a listing pirate ship liable to sink at any moment. Only Sound money can deliver a reduction of inequality, a sustainable future for the environment and the next generation and re-establish trust in government, creating a new united kingdom that everyone can believe in.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Naysburn

Summergroves speed wayWorryingly the speed of all vehicles including buses is on an increase with sometimes speeds at excess of 60mph by some cars and in excess of 30mph by some buses. Children are becoming at risk and it will only be a matter of time before the inevitable happens with either a child, pedestrian, cyclist or motorist being severely injured or worse, a fatality.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darian Finn

Invest more money in schools in developing countriesThe Hunger Project have shown that poverty and hunger decrease when a country's population is educated. Investing in education in developing countries, and offering businesses incentives to do the same will lead to more educated citizens, a better quality of life and a decrease in the 805,000,000 people who currently go hungry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq80vZJ8n2k48 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Sherlock
