Termination of the 797 Greenline-London coach from StevenageThis service is used by a lot of local residents every day to go back and forth to London where they work. Without the 797 they will have to use the train at nearly double the cost. The students at Herfordshire University will be affected in the same way. Patients having to go to major London hospitals will be in the same situation. Old aged pensioners with freedom passes won't be able to use it in the train and won't be able to afford the train fare. Arriva operates the 757 service from Luton to London -Victoria. They run 45 coaches 24 hours daily. If Arriva says that they are discontinuing the 797 because it is not economical. The same applies to the five 757 services both ways between 1.00am - 5.00am in the morning. Arriva could cancel these five services and instead run a minimum 797 service which in the end will be more profitable for the operator. This way customers of the 797 won't be so badly affected by Arrivas decision.787 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Kay Ashley

Say no to George Osborne spending £50m on the National England Football TeamAfter Abu Dhabi's leading royal Sheikh Mansour committed to investing in the UK, at the opening of a new £150m football academy by Manchester City Football Club, the Chancellor wanted to do the same. This is important to campaign against because there are currently almost 1,000,000 people in the UK who are having to resort to food banks to survive whilst the Government splashes £50 million on something that isn't a priority.10,719 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Lee Kemp

Manifesto Comitment to Ban Sugar BoardingEveryone knows what is going on here and it is getting ridiculous: We talk about a "bad food environment" and yet there is little legislation to prevent the powerful retailers who supply most of our nutrition from using pernicious sales tack-ticks. Supermarkets know that will power is finite resource and the most effective way of getting customers to crack, is to tempt them with high sugar foods in close proximity for a long time. These counters are designed cause sugar cravings. They are deliberately overriding the consumers free will and in light of the obesity and diabetes pandemics it is a disgraceful business practice.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Baines-Buffery

Stop the bubbly at the House of LordsIt is a disgrace that during this time of austerity when so many people do not even have enough to eat, and benefits are being cut that tax-payer's money should be wasted on champagne for the elite. The budget for champagne in the House of Lords alone is £65,000 according to an article in the independent http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/if-you-want-to-see-the-gap-between-the-house-of-lords-and-reality-for-yourself-then-just-look-at-their-champagne-budget-9910611.html Why should the tax payer pay for any alcohol at all for members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons? Surely this money could be better spent in this time of austerity.147 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Susi Liles

Wheelchairs have priority over buggies on buses.Because buggies can be folded up. Some wheelchair users are bound to their wheelchairs for LIFE as they are disabled. Mothers or fathers can push buggies and can always wait for another bus.62 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Wishart

Stop Cafcass & Family Court Child AbuseThis campaign seeks to protect children from emotional abuse caused by parents conducting Family Disputes in Courts. Schools ignore the abuse children suffer when one parent separates them from the other through Family Courts. Losing a parent is mortifying for every child. Courts decide this chiefly from badly written Cafcass Reports. These delays MUST stop. Judges meeting children will help, but only a professional Inspectorate will guarantee this.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Caring Parent

Stop fracking!: Bob NeillFracking is a dangerous and polluting way of getting oil and gas out of the ground. It's dangerous in so many ways: it poisons our water, it can cause earth tremors and produces a huge amount of toxic waste. And, it gives the land under our homes to giant oil corporations.7 of 100 Signatures

Make the vacation of wheelchair spaces on public transport a legal requirement.The recent case of Doug Paulley vs First Group ended with the judges ruling that the wheelchair spaces on buses do not need to be vacated by persons refusing to do so. Effectively they have ruled that persons using wheelchairs may be discriminated against by those who feel it is too much trouble to fold away a pushchair, or simply move to another seat. This throws the whole situation into confusion. The majority of persons using wheelchairs are doing so because they are not able to stand for long periods, if at all, and do not have the luxury of being able to fold their wheelchair away while on public transport. Able bodied persons can stand, pushchairs can be folded, and infants carried. Refusing to vacate the more easily accessible areas on buses and trains is discriminating against those who are physically unable to reach the other areas, and must be made an offence. There is no excuse for a wheelchair user to be denied transport in a situation where it is physically possible to accommodate them should other users show consideration. The current regulations are too woolly, and the manner in which they can be interpreted leaves them open to rulings such as the above, which renders them effectively null and void.4,558 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Nick Beck

Save 7 Bruce Grove, TottenhamNo. 7 Bruce Grove is one of the most important historic buildings in Tottenham. It is one of a pair of grand Georgian town houses in classical style. It lies within the Bruce Grove Conservation Area, and is one of the buildings that lines the important approach from Tottenham High Road to Bruce Castle Museum. It is the only building in the whole of Tottenham to bear an English Heritage blue plaque, which commemorates Luke Howard, the ‘Namer of Clouds’, who lived there in the 19th Century. The building is nationally listed, but it is also on the English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register, because of its current derelict condition. This is a tragedy, and the building is currently an eyesore that blights the whole area. Tottenham Civic Society is calling for the urgent rescue of 7 Bruce Grove, to save it from further structural decline, and to restore it to its former glory. The restoration of the building would encourage economic regeneration of the area, and help transform perceptions of Tottenham. Planning permission was granted in 2013 for the building to be restored to its original outward appearance, the interior converted into new flats, with the building of some new homes in the rear garden. It is our view that this planning permission should be acted on as soon as possible in order to save 7 Bruce Grove.2,784 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Bradby
