• Save outdoor seating Penarth Esplanade
    Penarth Esplanade used to be the heart of Penarth, however the Vale of Glamorgan Council seem to want to do anything they can to destroy it and put people off visiting. The outdoor seating area was a welcome addition to the Esplanade so it is now disappointing to see that the license for this to continue has not been renewed all for the sake of 13 parking spaces. Considering there is a big push to get to net zero this is hardly discouraging people to drive and shows a lack of commitment from the Vale of Glamorgan Council to achieve this. Please sign this petition to try and get the Vale of Glamorgan Council to hear our voice and reconsider their decision. We all want to do our part to contribute to reaching net zero so therefore do not see how the Vale of Glamorgan Council can prioritise car parking spaces (therefore encouraging people to drive over supporting local businesses)

  • Take Scotland out of the Oscars goodie bag
    Firstly, the offer of meaningful titles is false, as land reform campaigner Andy Wightman has outlined. Secondly, it's a wounding insult for all Scots to see parts of our land traded like trinkets. For centuries, Scots have had almost no chance to own our own land thanks to clearances, absentee owners, and sky-high land prices. Actually not much has changed. It's why the Highlands are so full of empty glens - not people. Scotland is one of the last places in Europe where land can be bought and sold on a whim with no questions asked. As a result a tiny number of people own the land - fewer today than in 1872. This storm in a Goodie Bag reminds Scots why land reform is urgent and necessary - to turn the ownership of our beautiful country into the shared responsibility of Scots, not a trinket to be traded by strangers.

  • Crossing needed by Oatlands Park, Weybridge
    Oatlands Drive is a fast and busy road. Used as a cut through especially when there are problems with the M25. We have local schools, residents, parents, children and dog walkers who are unable to cross this road safely. Parents walking to the park with pushchairs risk their and their children's lives when having to lead with the pushchair into the road. Dog walkers have to wait for the traffic to disappear which is virtually never. With summer coming up the park will be used even more especially as we have the only outdoor paddling pool for miles. We need a crossing and we need it now. Everyone in Weybridge or Oatlands knows someone who uses the park. That's someone that risks their life to get recreation. When recreation in a park is one of the few free activities we have nowadays, it shouldn't be paid for at the cost of safety.

  • Give us our replacement parking spaces
    Apart from the very real problems this lack of parking will cause in a residential area of family housing, it is completely unacceptable that the council as a developer is failing to meet its own conditions which are there to protect the community. The council is failing to value the established local communities in the Orchard Road area and is acting with out any regard for the needs of existing local residents

  • Respect and Protect Queen's Market
    Queen's Market in Upton Park, East London, is very important to us - we want the market to grow and keep going into the future. That’s why we need the Council to RESPECT AND PROTECT QUEEN'S MARKET and look after it. We value Queen's Market for its Low-priced food - Trusted traders - Fresh, culturally-appropriate food - Generations of experience - Unique products - 166 stall pitches - It’s our social place where communities meet and feel safe - It’s historically over 120 years old, so it’s part of our heritage - It’s an ‘Asset of Community Value' - A great place to start small businesses. Shoppers and traders don't feel part of the big changes Newham is proposing for historic Queen's Market. Sign the petition to show your support for the Market and get the Council to respect shoppers and traders and put us at the centre of talks so our unique market can be preserved and improved.

  • Tesco, don't shut down the 24 hour Petrol Station and Shop
    With fuel and food prices hitting the roof , not all customers can afford to buy in bulk and need to make small manageable purchases on a frequent basis. The shop provided the conveniences for the section of the community who are not in position to buy bulk so the around the clock opening meant they could "buy on need basis." Small items on a frequent basis in line with the income. The loss of 24 hours opening will result in a serious squeeze on peoples budgets as they will now have a shortened window to purchase necessary items which will lead to deprivation. Families on low income will also suffer intensifying child poverty in the community. Turning the fuel station into "pay on pumps only" will also exclude people who either don't have a bank card ,have insufficient funds leading to being overdrawn and into unnecessary debt and those folks who are not IT literate or have the confidence to use the keypads/technology. The loss of jobs and reduced hours of work by the Tesco employees will also exacerbate the unemployment and poverty in the community. The lack of personal touch will also go against Tesco's ethos of being visible in the community and customer care/service. I hope you will seriously consider this matter empathically.

  • Removal of P&O operators licence
    Companies, especially those owned by unscrupulous foreign holding companies, cannot and must not be allowed to show such a flagrant disregard for UK employment law and has no place in the economy of a country that still attempts to hold some semblence of workers rights. In addition, I call upon all British citizens to boycott all P&O services until these staff are reinstated.

  • STOP BIG FASHION HIJACKING THE GRASSROOTS REPAIR MOVEMENT
    The Grassroots repair movement is not here to be used as window dressing for the contested sustainability ambitions of major fast fashion corporations. This is not the first time a Big Fashion brand has co-opted an important sustainability event for its own ends. We know from bitter experience that the wrong sponsorship can destroy an important movement. It distracts from the deep work that needs doing and ultimately reinforces a status quo that creates more stuff, more waste, and more emissions. Founding Signatories: The Restart Project; Lucy Siegle, journalist; Tansy Hoskins, journalist, Aja Barber, author; Livia Firth, sustainable fashion campaigner; Eco Age; Ealing Repair Cafe; Repair What You Wear; Hackney Fixers; Sustainable Hackney; Emma Mathews, Socko; Ros Studd, Repair What You Wear; Sophie Benson, journalist; West London Restarters, Hillingdon Friends of the Earth, Transition Tooting; Zack Polanski, Green Party London Assembly Member; Olivia Pinnock, journalist; No Sweat, & Brett Staniland, model and sustainable fashion editor. (More founders welcome!)
