Ask Tesco to release land at Hazelwell Lane, StirchleyResidents are increasingly frustrated by delays to the Tesco development project on Hazelwell Lane; with work yet to start some 14 years after it was first proposed. Despite assurances that Tesco is committed to building the store, we have yet to see a start date. The site is lying derelict and unused, is being used by fly-tippers and has become a dumping ground for old fridges and freezers. Local business owners have told us that it is even affecting sales as the area is now a ghost town. This land could be put to use for the good of the community in the surrounding area. If Tesco were to release the land the local community could have a say in how the land is used to its benefit.256 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ian Jamieson

Ban Spitting In BRADFORDSpitting is not only rude and disrespectful, but also has health implications and aids the transmission of infectious diseases. Why we now seem to allow this grotesque social tick to continue in public is beyond me. Not only do people spit outdoors over anything they can, I have also noticed this occurring in some public indoor venues. Also the amount of times I have nearly been inadvertently spit on by people in cars and walking in the street is one too many, it needs to stop!352 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Emily McKinley

Disbarred by AssociationBecause this type of discrimination is absolutely abhorrent. Three hundred teachers have been prevented from teaching because somebody else in their household has a criminal record of a proscribed nature. The household could include lodgers, children, people who are being cared for by the relatives within the household. A wayward family member, or worse any person living in the house such as a lodger could precipitate suspension and even removal from a job. The restrictions are independent of timescale, and so a single criminal act from many years ago could precipitate problems for all others within the household.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Philip Walton

Deaths and the Sanctioning PolicyMalcolm Burge set fire to himself in Cheddar Gorge, after being told he was subject to court action for £800 by Newham Borough Council, after his Housing Benefit was cut in half. Malcolm had written often to Newham Borough Council to tell them that he couldn't pay, he had never had that amount of money, and that he was suicidal. Also, David Clapson, who died after his benefits were stopped. He then had no money for food, had no money for electric to keep the fridge going that had his insulin in. The coroner stated that David had no food in his stomach and £3.44 in the bank. Esther McVey (The previous Employment Minister) stated to MPs that there is no link between the deaths and the sanctioning policy and that 'we ensured that all of our processes correctly'. If there is no link between the stopping of benefits and the deaths of 49 benefit recipients, why won't the DWP release the reviews? The sanctioning policy needs to reviewed when used in relation to vulnerable people, not used as a blanket policy.12,935 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Linda Theaker

End unfair VAT rules which cripple NHS servicesThis anomaly means private delivery companies look cheaper, but are not. My hospital neurology dept "saves" £250k a year on VAT on beta interferon alone this way, but the private healthcare provider offers a lamentable service, not turning up, letting patients run out of meds, etc. There are few companies to compete, and the NHS cannot afford to take service back. Jeremy Hunt and HMRC know about the unfair advantage private companies have, but ignore it. This means the NHS is paying £200 million A YEAR on drugs to the Treasury in VAT. Why penalise the NHS? Let the NHS compete fairly!90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mags Lewis

Make Colchester Safe at night, Turn on the lights!Crime, accidents,injuries and a general feeling of not being safe on our streets after midnight is not something the people of Colchester should be having to suffer, especially when we still all pay council tax but it seems to give us less and less in return. The switching off of the lights at Midnight even has an effect on local businesses, as people going to pubs and clubs etc, are making plans to leave early so as not to be going home in the dark. The chief executive of Essex County Council earns £210,000 a year!92 of 100 SignaturesCreated by bruce seaton

Stop The Royal Cornwall Hospital sell offCurrently two very vital depatments are under threat of being privatised. Sterile Services who ensure that all the instruments and medical devices used in the trust and throughout the county in GP surgeries,minor injury units etc are sterilised to a very high standard. Also the IT department who are responsible for all patient data and all computer systems that are used in the trust. Do you want a private company having all your personal medical data? I for one do not!. It is important that the people of Cornwall get the service that they deserve. This is your NHS!7,253 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by colin basford

ADVOCACY IS NOT A CRIMEJSA claimants have the right to have someone with them when they go to the jobcentre, and the agreement that they make with the Jobcentre (their Claimant Commitment) has to be reasonable and consider their circumstances. In the Arbroath case the agreement was far from reasonable, but when Tony, who had accompanied the claimant to a prearranged meeting, attempted to help negotiate more suitable terms, the Jobcentre manager responded by telling him to leave the building and calling the police. By the time the police came, Tony and the claimant had already left (with the promise of a further meeting), but he was still arrested and charged. This has serious implications for Tony personally and also for benefits and welfare activists everywhere. This example of harassment of welfare activists is far from an isolated incident. We demand that welfare activists are not prevented from conducting their work and nothing be put in the way of benefit claimants’ fundamental right to advice and representation.2,094 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Glynn
