Driving is a skill that most people will need in there life and to be charge almost double the price of the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland is being treated unfairly and it will put off people wanting to learn to drive. Not everyone can afford £62.50 for a first NI Provisional so it would be beneficial to reduce the price so that it is in line with the rest of the UK at just £32 for a first GB Provisional

Our children play and whilst they play need to feel safe and secure without feeling threatened or intimidated by groups.

The letter was shown to have been written by owners of small UK businesses, instead many of the "owners" were non existant, no longer owners of the businesses, or simply denied that they ever signed anything. It is important for the integrity of both the Telegraph group and the Conservative party to apologise for the misleading article, which appears to have been deliberately created to be deceptive.

King’s College London has received planning permission to demolish the unlisted 154-158 and to façade the Grade II listed 152-153 the Strand. These charming buildings with their narrow medieval plots provide important context and setting to the Grade I listed Somerset House and St Mary-Le-Strand. Their loss will be hugely detrimental to the conservation area, the surrounding listed buildings, and will substantially harm one of London’s most historic thoroughfares - the processional route from St Pauls to Buckingham Palace. The buildings are protected by both national and local planning policy as designated heritage assets: Nos 152-153 are listed and part of a conservation area; 154-158 Strand are identified as Unlisted Buildings of Merit, which contribute to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. The proposed design of the replacement building does not respect Westminster’s heritage and local distinctiveness - it removes a group of buildings with distinctive façades and replaces them with something bland. It will also be dominant in its environment, unbalancing the composition of Somerset House, and repeating the mistakes of the past: when the neighbouring Brutalist building was built a large group of precious late-17th and early-18th century buildings were destroyed, similar to those at 152-158. At the planning committee meeting on the 21 April Westminster Councillors regretted the loss of these buildings and construction of the Brutalist block, yet still approved the demolition of 152-158 Strand. No further encroachment of this kind should be allowed. The character of central London depends on a balance between large institutional and commercial buildings and smaller scale buildings on narrow plots. This case has triggered national interest. The amenity societies have made substantial objections, and there were many individual objections. The proposal has struck a nerve with all who love London. As a national institution and a seat of learning, King’s should be leading the way in respecting heritage and planning law. Demolition would fail on both accounts. We call upon King’s College London to shelve the plans for demolition, and reconsider their proposals. Historic buildings are an asset to a historic campus, and should be celebrated as such. Britain is respected worldwide for its sensitive approach to historic buildings, indeed John Ruskin himself was an alumnus of King’s College London. Do the right thing by history, and by the future: save these buildings.

There is always a shortage of suitable organ's for transplant leading to the deaths of people whose lives might otherwise be saved. Equally there is a shortage of cadaver's (bodies) for medical students and surgeon's to practice on. They cannot learn the skills they need on artificial bodies.

For over forty years thousands of dedicated trade union members have benefited from the educational opportunities provided to them by the Trade Union Studies Unit at Stoke on Trent College. Not only have the courses students have undertaken benefited them personally they have also benefited countless thousands of their colleagues in hundreds of workplaces across North Staffordshire, regardless of whether they are trade union members or not. The training has led to safer workplaces. Where well trained health and safety reps are present accident rates & fatalities at work are considerably lower than in workplaces with no health and safety trade union rep. What could be more important than protecting your health and safety at work? It's not something to take for granted and it requires dedicated well trained volunteers, like trade union reps to make sure that it happens in your workplace! Industrial relations are better & disputes avoided where you again have well trained, confident trade union reps in place able to work directly with employers. This saves millions of pounds every year to our economy by avoiding unnecessary conflict. This couldn't be achieved without reps having access to quality training. As things stand we face the very real prospect of losing a vital local cog not only in adult education but also one that directly benefits the economy of North Staffordshire and plays an indirect part in helping to deliver safer workplaces for us all. Without the Trade Union studies Unit at Stoke College it will be far more difficult for reps, who have your best interest in the workplace at heart, to access training. Reps will have to travel much further afield to gain the skills & knowledge they need which will be a significant barrier to their learning which not only lets them down but also lets their colleagues down. Colleagues no doubt like you. With the imminent closure of the Trade Union Studies Unit at Derby College the area along the A50 corridor from Stoke to Derby and beyond will also have no dedicated facility for the training of trade union reps. Rather than closing the unit at Stoke the college should be actively seeking to secure it's long term future and embracing the opportunity to fill the void which will be left when the unit at Derby closes. Please don't allow the management of Stoke on Trent College to shut what is such a valuable education resource. Without it your life and livelihood could be put at risk.

The victim deserves justice to be brought against her murderer (no matter who that is). Allowing the Metropolitan Police to hide crucial information prevents this and sets a precedence that protecting a murderer is acceptable. This petition aims to do the right thing by Joyce and her remaining family and looks to prevent such cover ups from being made in the future.

It is very important to all familes who use this service. There are parents who start work early, parents who have to take another child to a different school plus the parents who have no personal transport at all! The local traffic is also reduced as a result of parents using this bus service. This traffic will increase significantly for everyone on the school run by having at least another 20+ cars on the road in an already extremely busy village.

To halt the warming of the planet which is getting dangerously near to the 2 degree 'tipping point' unless something is done in the next 5 to 10 years. This is a petition set up by 12 year old 'Laurel' who presents her appeal at cagw-uk.org. Rightly she is concerned about her generations future if we continue to ignore the warning signs of climate change. Laurel is now becoming a leading campaigner and spoke at the recent climate change march in London which can be seen on You Tube. This is a petition not just for children but for anyone who is concerned for their future, and that of the planets,

Not doing so gives an unfair advantage to the parties 'chosen'. Politics has moved on since the debates were 'agreed'. The BBC needs to take account of this move to include wider opinion and the great possibility of a hung parliament. To focus on the three parties chosen would be tantamount to vote-rigging and certainly shows favouritism. Let the people decide and give them ALL of the facts and range of parties.

It will alleviate the pressure for these on the NHS, provide wonderful educational opportunities in IT, Maths and Making/Building for children plus create a positive shift in public attitudes and awareness of those affected by upper limb loss. To do this we want the go ahead for GPs/NHS Prosthetics Depts to work alongside local schools with 3D printers to get these cheap, colourful, funky and working upper limbs made. This would be achieved using free software, on a voluntary basis, at minimal cost. These are not currently available on the NHS, what is available are primitive & cumbersome contraptions that are not at all child friendly - please help us change that by signing this petition.

For those of you who don’t know this, PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK. It is officially classified as a "Money Service". Therefore, PayPal does not have to follow Federal Banking Guidelines. These guidelines are in placed to help protect an individual's bank account from being frozen without warning, explanation, or recourse, for months at a time. Sadly, PayPal continues to do just that, to thousands of PayPal accounts, every month. There are numerous stories from Ex PayPal Employees and Managers who resigned because of PayPal’s business practices, as well as thousands of detailed horror stories posted all over websites about people being Robbed, Abused, Unfairly Treated, Lied To And Cheated By Paypal. Why is the goverment allowing this company to Operate in the UK? Every day there are tons of emails from people who thought they could trust PayPal with their business only to discover, as so many before them already have, that there account has been limited and their funds frozen, money held, or money pulled right out of their account. These people placed their trust and livelihood in PayPal's hands only to be told that their accounts have been locked indefinitely without appeal. Explaining your version of what happened, in most cases seems to make no difference. PayPal can refuse to provide you with detailed information from their investigation and does not have to disclose documents they relied upon to make their decisions. You can expect to wait AT LEAST 6 MONTHS before you see your money again. In some cases, the wait time can EXCEED 6 MONTHS and run into a shady Grey area, where "NEVER" Seems To Be A More Realistic Time-Frame. People who complain about it have reported experiencing terrible Customer Service including extra long hold times, delays, and dead-end auto-responder e-mails. 100,000 COMPLAINTS OUTSTANDING AT PAYPAL. In many instances disputes can run on for months leaving people frustrated and out of pocket as they are unable to access their accounts. A common allegation is that the company brushes off or stalls customer grievances for months and meanwhile freezes the customer's account and pockets the interest (So that's how they make their money!). No wonder they freeze so many accounts! When you open a paypal account, you agree to allow PayPal to play Judge, Jury and Executioner in every dispute situation. Your money is taken from a customer’s credit card, or paypal account, and transferred into a paypal account, not your bank account. Make No mistake about it: PayPal profits handsomely, earning interest on the millions of dollars left sitting inside thousands of frozen paypal accounts. From worldwide users vast experience in trying to get Paypal to pay them their rightful money is that PayPal completely ignores user complaints, phone calls, faxes, & email, but does respond to government investigators and private lawyers. This company requires a Full stop and not welcome to trade upon holding UK citizens money illegally. Please sign this petition, share on Facebook and on Twitter, tell your friends and family most particularly those who have businesses and who use Paypal. They may well have had no problems so far, but this can happen without warning and so quickly and without justified reason.
