Protect Vicary's Mills and LeatWe have lost huge amounts of history over the last several decades. Newton Abbot is a thriving market town with 800 years of market history. The Mills are a substantial part of this. They employed hundreds of people during the Industrial Revolution. We must protect and restore these impressive buildings and medieval leat. As shown by the alternative proposals, the site can be converted and brought fully to life, with a greater number of homes than the current planning application. Demolition will also release countless tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, which along with mass construction is a highly damaging and backwards step in a time of climate crisis.600 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Newton Abbot & District Civic Society

Stop Mary Ball’s Death Mask and Coventry police exhibits being lost to Birmingham.These exhibits need to be put on display in the city they relate too. These belong to the city and not the county. Should they be moved away from coventry they will likely never return as a whole.610 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Peter Garbett

Stop the closure of Budhmor Residential Home in Portree, Isle of SkyeIsle of Skye does not have a lot of spaces available for old people to be cared for. At the moment Home Farm has 17 residents and if the 15 residents from Budhmor are homed there it will leave only space for 3 more residents from the whole island. The staff are being made redundant at a time when the economy on the island is at an all time low.369 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Cameron Gauld

Create a safe north-to-south cycling, walking and scooting route across NottinghamThis is an ambitious step towards making Nottingham an easier and more pleasant place to move around by bicycle, scooter, or on foot. Creating a safe route, physically separated from motor traffic using barriers, bollards and planters, will mean that active travel is an option for all residents including children, older people and those who are less confident on roads. Active travel has numerous health and wellbeing benefits, it needs to be accessible for everyone. Implementation of the active travelway, will significantly help both Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council reach ambitious carbon goals as it will enable more people to move away from using motorised transport. Air quality will be improved as the number of cars on our roads decreases. The active travelway will be a huge step towards creating an active travel network that the city can be proud of. The active travelway will connect neighbourhoods, shopping centres, employers and educational and sporting institutions, as well as providing an easier link to Nottingham rail station. It will benefit a wide range of organisations across the city.1,332 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by NorthSouth ActiveTravelway

Withdraw London Resort's NSIP statusLondon Resort first submitted an application to build a theme park on Swanscombe Peninsula in 2014. Since then this nature haven has been designated as a Site of Scientific Special Interest (SSSI), offering it protected status. The site is home to rare wildife and plants - 1,700 invertebrate species, 80+ species of breeding birds, rare orchids and water voles. Despite the environmental significance of the site, that the local roads are already buckling under the traffic demands and pollution is sky high in this area, the application to build a theme park here still remains. The project has been classed as an Nationally Significant Infastructure Project (NSIP), which means that the plans get to bypass the usual scrutiny of the local authorities. This NSIP was supposedly awarded due to the jobs being offered by the London Resort project. However, the peninsula is already home to 140+ active businesses, that provide 1,000s of skilled local jobs! The business owners have described feeling like they are on death row, having had the shadow of this application looming over them for over a decade now. We the, undersigned, ask that this NSIP status is revoked, so that the local businesses can move forward and the community can contintue to enjoy this treasured green space for generations to come.687 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Laura Edie

Make Cross-in-Hand Junction saferI write with serious concern for local people who have for many years had to negotiate the junction of the A267 and B2102 at Cross In Hand. I can remember all the changes to the junction which have been made over the years to try and solve the problem of accidents occurring when traffic is trying to exit from the Lewes Road, vehicles turning right or left onto it from the A267 as well as vehicles traveling past the junction. Let us not forget either, pedestrians trying to cross the A267 to get to the bus stop or indeed the garage. I am also aware of people who regularly cycle this route and have many near misses where drivers have lost patience with trying to get out of this junction and egressing from the Esso Garage too. Other near misses are when the bus tries to pull out of the layby and when vehicles are exiting the garage and have nearly had collisions even if the bus is not in the layby because visibility from this junction is not good as the bend is sharp enough that even at 40MPH vehicles coming from the right, must brake hard on many occasions to avoid an accident. I dare to say that in my opinion, as a proficient driver, the changes that have been made have not worked and although this has been looked into for many years, enough is enough, especially after the death of the pedestrian on Tuesday 22nd March. Something needs to be done urgently before other families are bereaved. This has hit the whole community badly many people are upset. Clearly, something could be done to help prevent this. How many more lives must be lost before action is taken? Even one life lost is too many! This is an important campaign to help save the lives of drivers and pedestrians who use this major trunk road.2,205 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Lesley Dann

Save outdoor seating Penarth EsplanadePenarth 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)4,637 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Jemma Angove

Take Scotland out of the Oscars goodie bagFirstly, 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.7,615 of 8,000 SignaturesCreated by Lesley Riddoch
