• CCTV monitoring of Yellow Box Junctions
    Yellow Box Junctions are, in general terms, a good thing. They allow traffic from minor roads access to main roads in heavy traffic. The problem that we have had in London for some years, and coming soon to the rest of the country, is where the council uses them as ‘money boxes’ to raise revenue thru CCTV. One west London junction raised £2.7m a year, and there are many others

  • Save Royal Gunpowder Mills
    The Trustees need funding, but have only approached this one commercial operation without spreading their net wider. Too much of our history is being thrown away or sold off. The Mills supplied Trafalgar,Waterloo, and were the major supplier of propellants for WW1. The visitor attraction will not be able to continue with it's heart torn out and fenced off.

  • Stop plans to cut student nurse bursaries
    This will lead to unsafe and dangerous staffing levels being further depleted in future and put existing resources under further pressure. Those attracted to the profession and wishing for a career change will be placed under further financial strain.

  • Stop the misuse of parent and child spaces
    Far too many people are parking without children, assuming because of lazyness in patent and child spaces because they can without fine. Not leaving enough spaces for people who really need them!

  • Use the Name "Daesh" for the terrorist organisation instead of IS
    Innocent Muslims are being persecuted as a result of the mistaken assumption that they support the aims of this terrorist organisation. This is exacerbated by the use of a name which refers to Islam in general. This organisation is neither Islamic nor a State; is use implies culpability of all Muslims. It is part of the Wahhabi sect which is disowned by virtually the whole of Islam, apart from the Saudi Arabian state. They regard even other Muslims as infidels and this gives them license to treat them as subhuman. The term "Daesh" is the common name for them among their enemies; it sounds insulting in Arabic. To say "so called" is not enough; that is what they call themselves and want to be called.

  • Mandate for NHS in England
    The government has 'quietly' launched a public consultation with very little fanfare or publicity. With relatively few responses, they'd be justified in doing whatever they wanted to anyway. Go. Fill it in! https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/setting-the-mandate-to-nhs-england-for-2016-to-2017

  • Stop calling IS ISLAMIC State. They don't represent Islam.
    By calling them Islamic State we as a country are legitimising their links to Islam. This gives a negative view of Islam to the population and fuels Islamaphobia. It allows manipulation of the public by right wing political parties and press to further their agenda. It helps in the radicalisation of disenfranchised youths by the ties the name has with the community and on reflection glamourises the call to arms. Remember that most of the young people who are radicalised are young males who feel isolated and bow to peer pressure (2 of the Paris attackers were until 6 weeks ago running bars. Hardly strict followers of Islam). I want my baby to grow up in a society where we look at people who have differences with intrigue and not fear.

  • Stop the 73% cuts to youth services in Southwark
    The council plans to cut £2.5million from the youth service budget leaving less than one million to work with some of the most disadvantaged young people in London. We have 13 youth projects in the voluntary sector which could suffer as well as 8 youth centres as part of this 73% cuts. What will be left for young people in this Borough? The council promised not to cut front line services yet this is being proposed. We would also lose experienced and specialist workers in the sector as the services would transfer to the Environment and Leisure department. This will de-professionalise and de-skill professional youth workers leaving little to no varied provision. They are planning to delete ALL 122 full and part time jobs and replacing them with 42 part time posts. Southwark News report: 19.11.15 Richard Taylor, founder of the Damilola Taylor Centre after his ten-year-old son was killed on the Peckham estate, said this was no time to cut youth services as serious knife crime continued to blight the borough. “Bearing in mind the level of killing, stabbing and violence, this is not the right time. This is the wrong approach and a bad decision for the council. As Jeremy Corbyn has said 'austerity is a political choice'. Southwark must not abandon young people while sitting on millions of pounds of reserves which can be used to support the local community along with the fight to get more money from central government. Southwark Trades Council will be campaigning with the local government unions and community to stop these cuts. We will be lobbying the Council Assembly and have asked for a deputation at the Cabinet on Wednesday 24th November. Please join us.

  • Implement attendance related pay for Westminster
    This is important because it seems that they pick and choose when they want to work for us and when they have something better to do. For example the Climate Change debate which happened on the day I created this petition. It had a 10% attendance level. When they debated their own wages there was a full house. In any other workplace we would all be facing disciplinary action if we decided to pick and choose when to turn up to work. Attendance related pay would ensure that they can be bothered to do the job they said they would do when asking for our votes once every five years.

  • Use the word Daesh not Isis or So Called Islamic State
    I would like the BBC to acknowledge the power of words to unify or divide. Most members of the public are now familiar with the term Daesh and know that it is the same as Isis but it does not acknowledge any link to correct Islamic practice. At a time when Daesh is using propaganda to drive a wedge between Muslims and Non-Muslims, the BBC has to be aware of the affects of the choices of its words and unfortunately there is no neutral word in this circumstance.
