• Help a wheelchair user retain the decking outside his council flat
    Jack Milnes is a disabled wheelchair user. Four years ago he had verbal permission from his housing officer at East Riding of Yorkshire Council to retain his decking just outside his door of his ground floor council flat. Three days after making a complaint about outstanding adaption to his flat that have been waiting for nearly three years, he has now been ordered to remove the decking and been given 21 day to complete it. Within the estate there are several properties that have similar facilities outside and, as far as he is aware, none of these have been ordered to remove them. This is a very important area for Jack to be able to greet and socialise with his neighbours and enjoy some needed fresh air. Please sign this petition and encourage your friends to help Jack.

  • Say no to euthanising animals of Southend Sealife Centre
    When purchasing any animal or aquatic creature, a responsibility is taken on to care for that creature humanely for the duration of its life. It is costly looking after creatures, nonetheless, at the point of purchase a commitment is made to adequately meet its needs for food, shelter, and giving a stimulating environment. The recent announcement that the animals and aquatic creatures of Southend’s Sealife Adventure and Wild Centre may be euthanised due to the rising cost of their care with the energy price rises is therefore not acceptable. This letter urgently calls on Philip Miller to seek alternative means to recover costs, safeguarding the welfare of these creatures throughout the winter, and to not euthanise any creatures on the grounds of affordability of looking after them. By joining voices we can persuade the owners of Sealife Adventure and Wild to save the lives of tens of creatures, including meerkats, monkeys, and sealife creatures, who may be euthanised due to cost saving measures.

  • Stop Bad Law
    A document which is supposed to inform future housing policy in our area should be clear and precise. Paragraph CH9 does not achieve this. If the wider community had been given the opportunity to engage at the time when the policy was amended, clarity would have been sought and a better outcome achieved.

  • Liz Truss: freeze prices AND profits!
    Our energy bills are being capped to an average of £2,500 a year. But the Government is planning to loan energy suppliers, like British Gas, EDF and E.ON, tens of billions to keep their prices down. Instead of making energy giants like BP and Shell cover the cost by taxing the enormous profits they’ve been making, we’ll still all be paying for it via taxes or artificially inflated energy bills for years to come. We need the Government to tax their enormous profits to fund proper support so everyone is warm this winter, and it is energy giants rather ordinary working people like nurses, teachers and those already struggling with the cost of living who foot the bill.

  • Close SeaLife Brighton
    WATCH OUR UNDERCOVER VIDEO EXPOSÉ - CLOSESEALIFE.COM SEA LIFE BELONGS IN THE SEA STOLEN FROM THEIR NATURAL HABITATS LIKE THE GREAT BARRIER REEF AND FORCED TO TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES, ON A PERILOUS JOURNEY FOR THEIR DELICATE BODIES. OFTEN RESULTING IN THEM DYING. SEA LIFE IN CAPTIVITY IN UK AQUARIUMS HAVE NO CHANCE TO EXHIBIT NATURAL BEHAVIOUR, INSTEAD PACING, CIRCLING, HEAD BOBBING SPIRALLING, IS ALL EVIDENCE OF ZOOCHOSIS. DUE TO T0 STRESS AND BOREDOM. BREEDING PROGRAMMES ONLY SERVE TO KEEP TANKS FULL, VERY FEW SPECIES BRED IN CAPTIVITY MAKE IT BACK TO THE WILD, CONSERVATION CLAIMS ARE WEAK, AND AQUARIUMS DON'T HELP ENDANGERED SPECIES, IT’S NOT EDUCATION IT’S ENTERTAINMENT. LULU THE SEA TURTLE IN SEA LIFE BRIGHTON HAS BEEN STOLEN FROM THE SEA OVER EIGHTY YEARS AGO AS A TINY TURTLE TO APPEAR IN A TV SOAP COMMERCIAL. HELD CAPTIVE EVER SINCE AND SHE'S NEVER SEEN THE SEA OR HER NATURAL HABITAT. TURTLES LIVE A LONG TIME, AND NORMALLY COVER THOUSANDS OF MILES, LAYING THOUSANDS OF EGGS, YET SADLY LULU IS UNABLE TO DO THAT IN HER TINY TANK. 𓆟 90% of fish need sunlight to live reads a poster in SEA LIFE, Brighton. An underground prison with no windows, sunlight, disorientating lights and a relentless soundtrack.  𓆟 SEA LIFE Brighton used to house dolphins until public opinion changed causing a backlash. They were removed, only to be replaced by sharks among other larger species and sea turtles. 𓆟 79% of animals held in UK public aquariums have been taken from the wild and put into tanks. 𓆟 The myth that fish only have a 3-second memory recall has been proved untrue. Research shows fish recognise other fish, and human faces, talk to each other, remember feeding locations months after visiting them, form bonds with other fish and feel pain like humans do. 𓆟 Killing healthy unwanted animals in zoos and aquariums is common practice. The industry is reluctant to share figures for fear of public outrage and losing their licence. 𓆟 SEA LIFE promotes activities such as animal petting which is not an ethical practice.  𓆟 Chemicals used to clean the tanks and water are harmful to the animals. 𓆟 Kids like to see all the fish from Disney’s Finding Nemo together in the same tank. Pufferfish and Clownfish placed together caused the Clownfish to be eaten and regularly replaced. 𓆟 Merlin Entertainments own SEA LIFE, Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Madame Tussauds. It was discovered in 2014 that they also own Changfeng Ocean World aquarium in Shanghai that kept 3 Beluga whales captive. Once exposed, Merlin announced they were rehoming the whales in a natural sea sanctuary. In 2012 Merlin also owned theme parks in Italy and Germany where dolphin shows took place. They promised they would be given to a dolphin sanctuary, instead, they were sold to zoos and other aquariums. Whales and dolphins are no longer held in captivity in the UK since the 1990s when legislation was passed to ban it, yet large and small species like turtles, rays, sharks and octopuses are still held captive in tanks too small for them. Never visit SEA LIFE or any other aquarium.

  • Energy Referendum
    Although a freeze on energy prices might initially sound good, these prices are already extortionately high and although it will stop them rising further for the next 2 years, we will still end up paying back that £100b (£100,000,000,000) so it will still affect us all in the long run. Nationalisation would cost £3b (£3,000,000,000) which would be a lot less to pay back and would mean we ended up with cheaper utility bills in the long run. Plus profits would go back to the country helping the many things that we need help with such as hospitals, schools, policing etc. The £100b (or £3b) will be in the form of a loan that will need to be paid back, and it is us, the average person, that will be paying it back, so we should get a say on what we do.

  • Make The Greeny Safe & Secure
    With over 200 individuals , adults and children involved on Gurnos BGC FC we are looking to make the greeny field as safe and secure as possible . The football club has grown so much over the years and the football club has been a pillar of the community with so many players joining. It's a community club that emphasises the impact of enjoyment , team work and to give so many people the opportunity to be involved in a family friendly community club. Without making the ground safe and secure the risks are massive and potential accidents are going to occur. We as a club are looking for the support to make the field safe and secure at all times.
