END THE STRIKE CHAOS BY PAYING WORKERS FAIRLYThe country is grinding to a halt. Visits to families delayed, items you ordered arriving late in the post and hospital appointments potentially cancelled. These are just some of the issues we have or may face as workers across the UK reach breaking point. Deciding to go on strike and lose pay is not an easy decision for our key workers especially in the midst of a cost of living crisis. It’s about time the Government were part of the solution and stepped in to help hard working nurses, train staff, postal workers, firefighters and others get the wages and working conditions they deserve. Instead, they've announced a new law - which is being described as being anti-strike - that would make it even more difficult for hard working people to get a better deal. Enough is enough, the Government needs to do better.95,070 of 100,000 Signatures

Wakefield Council - Fence off Gorton Street Park!To Wakefield Council With reference to the planned Regeneration improvements to Gorton Street Park in Kinsley WF9, we, the residents of Kinsley ask you to please fence off the entire field on Gorton Street, not just the area currently used as a rugby pitch. We ask that the park area be left in its existing position, but with more play equipment than is currently available. The area to which Wakefield Council is proposing to move the playpark is right next to a road where illegal car racing takes place. Its existing location is at least at a point where the racing cars are forced to slow down in order to turn onto another road. If moving the park is unavoidable, then the entire green area absolutely needs to be fenced off to avoid accidents happening in the future. This is the only green space left in Kinsley and it needs to be kept open for the community88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carol Whitehead

Save the trees in Morten CloseThere are 18 trees on the green at Morten Close, and they comprise ecologically valuable specimens, including a large group of Norway Maples, a mature Oak and mature Ash tree. 11 of these are to be removed under present plans, including all the Norway Maples. The amount of green space will be reduced by more than 70%, with the two broad roads constricted to a single narrow entry. In a climate emergency, we can no longer afford this way of developing. Removing the trees will have several negative consequences: - They are a biodiverse habitat supporting insects and birds. - They are a major carbon store and once cut down, this carbon is lost to the environment. - They have been on this site for many years, and in some cases decades. - Replacing them with new trees, even semi-mature ones, is a costly and wasteful option. It will be many years until they “make up” the carbon and biodiversity toll. - They form part of a natural landscape close to the hearts of Clapham Park residents. It is five years since the planning application was first written for Clapham Park. Since then, climate change has worsened. It is now acknowledged that we are undergoing an existential threat. Lambeth Council recognised this by declaring an ecological emergency in January 2019. Lambeth’s Climate Action Plan makes the priority of green space abundantly clear: Green infrastructure, just like traditional forms of infrastructure, provides essential support to every living being on the planet. Trees, shrubs and plants absorb carbon dioxide and pollutant gases, purifying the air we breathe. Green spaces slow the rate of water runoff, reducing pressure on drainage systems and regulating flooding. Urban greenery provide habitats for birds, insects and other species and cools surrounding areas, providing relief from hotter temperatures. The present plans mean losing a large proportion (>70%) of the green space and over 60% of the tree coverage. We can no longer afford to be going backwards on our commitment to green infrastructure.193 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Ed Allnutt

Clean up private parking. Clamp the cowboysIndividual motorists too often find themselves in a situation where a £2 transaction has gone wrong - the machine misoperates or the credit card process says it has worked when it hasn't. The operator begins quasi-legal exercise which quickly ramps up from an initial £100 to £300+. It is a racket that is UK-wide. It is only when people get together that dubious enforcement patterns become visible and the operators can be encouraged to improve their practice.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dee Gee

Stop Katie Hopkins From Coming To Stafford’s Gatehouse TheatreThe people of Stafford have always come together through challenging times and have always supported those that Katie Hopkins mocks. We have made gigantic leaps in trying to eradicate bigotry and racism and she is voicing opinions that are dangerous, hateful and damaging to the advancement of acceptance. Katie Hopkins has never been a woman known for inciting peace but only hatred. She brings nothing to this town of any value and instead, by booking her, Freedom Leisure are telling our children that we give value (£) to her opinions. We are disgusted that you thought that the people of Stafford would welcome this person. A person who is infamous for spewing bile and causing division. A person who is know for being bigoted and inciting racism. A person who in 2021 was voted the most hated woman in Britain after boasting about breaking lockdown rules. A person who was BANNED from Twitter for breaking their rules on HATEFUL CONTENT. Just to be clear ( and incase you didn’t know) it is this: Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against or directly attack or threaten other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. We also do not allow accounts whose primary purpose is inciting harm towards others on the basis of these categories. So, what has this far right extremist said? Some examples and in no particular order: Someone killed themselves in front of my train today! AGAIN! how many times do I have to tell you? Stop being selfish. I’m a busy woman. Hopkins posted a series of insensitive tweets while watching a Channel 4's documentary which showed a nine-year-old girl being diagnosed with autism. She wrote: "Honey can't complete the autism assessment as she is too busy being a complete t***. But the s*** mum assessment is complete #bornnaughty." On depression she wrote: “UK has seen a 500% growth in anti-depressants since 1991. Like being bullied, being depressed is a fashionable thing to be… The ultimate passport to self-obsession.” She has mocked the Black Lives Matter movement by tweeting: "Today is #whiteoutwednesday. I will shortly be posting a picture of my arse. Thank you." Claimed that overweight people are lazy . Said that: Meghan Markle will be preggers faster than an 11 year old in #Telford. On Trump calling for a ban on Muslims entering the US,- "I think it wouldn't hurt for everybody to have a temporary ban while we work out what the hell is going on given that we have people blowing themselves up in suicide jackets," Has compared refugees to cockroaches then said "They might look a bit 'Bob Geldof's Ethiopia circa 1984', but they are built to survive a nuclear bomb.’ Suggested that Ed Miliband, (who has often spoken about his parents' flight from Nazi persecution, ) could "gas" his wife Justine. following the Manchester bombings Katie tweeted that there should be a "final solution" - the language used by Hitler and the Nazi party towards the minority groups they targeted. On Fox News she spoke out against the "silencing" of those with right-wing views who are "calling for action". At a Ukip's party conference Hopkins said that the photograph of a drowned 3 year old Syrian boy lying on a beach (that sparked a wave of compassion across Europe ) was staged. Provoked outrage by saying "Dementia sufferers should not be blocking beds. What is the point of life when you no longer know you are living it?,” "Bang me over the head." She claimed that she wouldn't let her children play with lower class children that have names like Chardonnay. ( teaching her children to be judgemental 👏🏻👏🏻) ( when a Glaswegian Ebola patient was moved to a London hospital) she tweeted: "Sending us Ebola bombs in the form of sweaty Glaswegians just isn't cricket." Of breastfeeding women: "I loathe all breastfeeders and the Mammary Mafia. And I can't stand this 'full-time Mummy thing' - you're just unemployed." November 20, is the Transgender Day of Remembrance,- Katie Hopkins took to Twitter to write: “Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance “Most people will be wearing red testicles. But I am wearing mine white as a symbol of cis-testicular peace. #RockOnCowboys” Joined forces with leaders of the Birmingham school protests against LGBT education equality -taught as part of the equalities act, which includes lessons on protected characteristics such as disability, race, religion and sexual orientation. Described LGBT education as “indoctrination Mocked Marcus Rashford and his campaign to feed hungry school children. Routinely attacked Muslims and Islam, calling for a burqa ban, goading Muslims with photos of ISIS-themed cakes during Ramadan, claiming people were more violent while fasting, labelled Islamic culture as “homophobic”, and described Muslim ‘no-go zones’ as being run by “Muslim mafia”. ‘Just been asked a question by a very fat child. Said I don’t answer fat children’ Should we go on…. This list is ENDLESS. Katie Hopkins has many times stood accused of displaying views that have been described by critics as Islamophobic, racist, classist, and misogynistic. STAFFORD does not want Katie Hopkins. unlike: refugees, breastfeeding mothers, overweight and underweight people, people of all religions, people of all nationalities , All cultures and colour, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, non binary and every one else on the gender and sexuality spectrum , Disabled people, Autistic children and adults, those suffering with mental health issues, and people with dementia WHO are ALL WELCOME. KATIE HOPKINS is NOT and NEVER WILL BE, WELCOME HERE. The people of Stafford INSIST Freedom Leisure cancel her show.822 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Marnie Phillips

Liz Truss should refuse the Prime Minister pensionThis is one issue, among many in recent years, where we have seen our leaders appear to be in Politics for their own benefit as opposed to Public Service, and to refuse to take responsibility for their errors. If Liz Truss were to decline the Prime Minister's Pension it would begin to redress the balance and we do need to restore faith in our elected officials for democracy to begin return to a meaningful level in the UK.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jackie hurman

Save Arran Outdoor Education CentreThe AOER is a wonderful purpose-built resource that has taught many youngsters real values, and given thousands of memorable experiences that have lasted their whole lives. Being on the island the resource has introduced young people to the island, giving them a love of where we call home, resulting in them drawing parents and friends on return visits and boosting our visitor numbers and tourism. It would be devasting to us if it were allowed to be shut and as a community we must fight to keep this valuable asset, which the shutting thereof would save very little money, but in fact, in the long run cost us very dearly.2,909 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Sheenah Fletcher

Bus pass in England for over 60sPeople should join the petition not only because it is totally unfair but also for the good of the Enviroment & Climate Change. Currently, people living in Wales,, Scotland , Northern Ireland & inner City London can obtain a free bus pass at 60 years old, however in the rest of England, you can only obtain one when you are of pension age. We believe this isn't fair or equitable and in fact totally discriminates against England and so we call upon the Government to pay towards free bus passes to all those who are over 60 years old. Providing these passes from 60 years old could also be better for the environment. Air pollution & Climate Change with less people traveling in there cars etc as it would encourage more people to use public transport, which could reduce car use or maybe result in people getting rid of there car's altogether.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian And-joan

Allow mansards in Islington conservation areasOur conservation area policies are over 20 years old, from when house prices were one sixth of today’s level and climate less revelant. Islington now has a clear problem with families leaving the Borough, with the Local Plan evidencing high resident turnover and the number of primary school pupils in decline. Mansards have a clear role in creating space for families or additional flats, whilst also serving as a tool to improve energy efficiency (improved insulation, solar). These needs have been recognised for 50% of the Borough which sits outside conservation and they should be recognised for the rest. This petition is only open to those living, working or studying in the Borough.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Keval Khiroya
