COSTA - Profit before taste and customers with Adez vs Alpro Milk?The Adez dairy free alternative milk now used by Costa not only tastes terrible compared to Alpro, (previous supplier to Costa) it also allegedly increases cross contamination risk as it may contain wheat. Costa made the best dairy alternative hot drinks in the UK with Alpro, now they taste dire.171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Tom Hunt

Ban HikvisionChinese state-owned companies Hikvision and Dahua are used to monitor, control and oppress ethnic minorities in China. Their cameras watch over 1 million people held in concentration camps and every corner of the Xinjiang province, with high-tech features such as facial recognition, behavioural analysis and "Uyghur alerts" to flag the province's ethnic minorities to the authorities. And these surveillance companies are not only spying on ethnic minorities in China - almost all of us in the UK are being watched by Hikvision and Dahua CCTV cameras every day. Big Brother Watch's investigation has revealed that Hikvision dominates the UK's CCTV networks - over 60% of public bodies, from schools to councils, are using either Hikvision, or to a lesser degree, Dahua cameras. Their intrusive, advanced surveillance capabilities are being quietly normalised in the UK. That means not only is our privacy and security at risk in an increasingly dystopian surveillance state - but British taxpayers' money is funding companies implicated in genocide and modern slavery in China. The USA has already banned Hikvision and Dahua. With enough public pressure on the Government, the UK can and should ban Hikvision too. Tell Rishi Sunak to #BanHikvision and #BanDahua now!6,121 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Big Brother Watch

KYFC response to Oxford United proposal to move to Stratfield BrakeWe have had initial discussions with OUFC about their proposed move to Stratfield Brake. They have been understanding and supportive of the KYFC vision to have a single football hub for the club with enhanced facilities such as a 4G pitch so that the club can continue to flourish. While these initial discussions have been positive, we recognise that there will be plenty of hurdles to come but this proposal presents a great opportunity for football to be provided for the children of Kidlington and surrounding villages with best-in-class facilities for generations to come. Please sign this petition to show your support in principle for Oxford United to move to Stratfield Brake and relocate the football pitches away from Stratfield Brake.456 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Richard Hague

Bring The Mobile Breast Screening Unit back to Fleetwood and Wyre AreasEvery time we ask or even beg for the return of the screening service we are given a different reason for the units not visiting Wyre. The personal messages I have received from women who's lives have been saved by a routine scan prove how important it is to visit ladies in the Wyre area on a regular basis. It is a 32 mile round trip from Fleetwood to the Lytham screening centre and there is no direct public transport, Palatine is a 20 mile round trip and again no direct transport links. People are losing a days work instead of just nipping for a 10 min appointment. When I started the group to raise awareness of the issues this would cause my main concern (which is sadly being proved correct ) was that ladies wouldn't attend. It is just far too difficult. It's a catch 22 situation. If appointments are kept the authorities will say it is working in its current situation but if ladies can't attend it could be read as Fleetwood ladies aren't interested (another excuse we were given is that too many appointments in Fleetwood were missed). Why can't the van rotate to different areas as it used to? It is after all a "mobile" unit.1,051 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Carol Dickinson

Buckinghamshire Council Stop Financing Fossil Fuels!CALL ON BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL TO STOP INVESTING IN FOSSIL FUELS The British public generally are rightly worried about climate change and biodiversity loss. But do you know that UK pension funds enable more CO2 than the entire UK carbon footprint? Halting the extraction and expansion of fossil fuels is a matter of survival for us all. Our local leaders must act now. They may say they do better to stay invested with fossil fuel companies and challenge them from the inside, to transition into more sustainable activities. But, “shareholder engagement with fossil fuel companies has not, and will not, lead to change on the scale and in the timeframe necessary” . (Quigley et al, 2021)* We call on Buckinghamshire to stop financing fossil fuels. Start financing a sustainable future. *https://www.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.cam.ac.uk/files/sm6_divestment_report.pdf1,196 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Cooper

Get our East Riding buses backWe are a village which is a one mile plus walk up a unlit country road to the nearest stop. This should not be happening and may take a serious incident to happen to someone before anybody listens. We are on the brink of North Bransholme - Kingswood is edging our way more and more, so we should be entitled to a reliable bus service - our children's buses go through the Kingswood area for high school, they meet their friends in these areas. Adults have asked to have choice, go to pubs and restaurants in the evenings and know they can get a bus home again. People are wanting to use a service like this. Please join this campaign to get buses back so people can get some life back out of their four walls. It's not good for anybody and their mental health. So many want this option back - a weekend bus up to Kingswood and late buses back. People need their lives back and to not feel trapped by a lack of reliable public transport.689 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Louise Jackson

Reopen Union Street AberdeenThe council are proposing to close our Main Street, Union Street and pedestrianise it. The current proposal will have a major affect on business transport and people with disabilities. Our councillors should be consulting the people of our city before making such a move. This is a major decision being proposed. It should be put out to consultation and voted on by the citizens of Aberdeen. This is causing distress to disabled people.2,769 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Derek Davidson

Save iconic views of the Totterdown escarpmentViews of the Totterdown escarpment regularly appear in local and national publications as an iconic feature of our city. The Heritage Assessment of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone includes the Totterdown escarpment as one of the principal iconic landmarks in the vicinity of Temple Quarter. Bristol’s City Design Team describe the Totterdown escarpment as “an iconic cityscape feature” that requires careful thought for the whole of the Framework area. However, views of the escarpment are threatened by inappropriate proposals for tower blocks (from 6+ground to 21+ground) in the proposed redevelopment of the Mead Street. We are not against creating a new mixed-use neighbourhood along Mead Street, but this must be at heights that do not obscure the panorama of the Totterdown escarpment.5,055 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Vice-Chair TRESAcic

Government Apology to Families of 414 British PoW Murdered in Untried & Concealed War Crime in 1943#suezmaruapology campaign: In 1949, as the decades-long hunt to convict Nazi war criminals was only four years old, and inexplicably far-east war crime trials would be closed within months, a Japanese soldier, Y. Kashiki, wrote to Allied war crime investigators. He outlined a previously unknown war crime of such barbarity it retains the power to shock and repulse today. Kashiki described, "The fact[s] of prisoners murder case, [aboard] the S. S. Suez-Maru, a Japanese transport ship, which...sailed from Ambon,...She was torpedoed and sunk... at...9.30 a.m. 29th Nov. 1943. [and] prisoners, about 270 or 280,... were killed on the reason that they could not be rescued. But, we, about 200 Japanese, who were on board the ship, were all rescued..." In fact, between 250-300 defenceless British and Dutch prisoners of war, who had already suffered nearly two years of barbaric treatment, survived the sinking of their 'hellship' transport, then spent some seven hours clinging to flotsam in the open Pacific, only to be systematically machine-gunned and shot by rifle-fire in cold blood, by c.20 named gunnery crew (headed by D. Yatsuka), aboard their Japanese naval escort, the minesweeper, W12. The W12 commander (O.Kawano) and war crime perpetrators (M. Iketani et al.), then conspired to falsify war records, and concealed the atrocity, until revealed by Kashiki, in 1949. A full investigation ensued, calling over 22 individuals for questioning, resulting in SCAP conclusion that, "It is considered that there is sufficient evidence to constitute a prima facie case against Kawano, Iketani, Yatsuka, and other[s]... officers and crew of minesweeper W12,... and to bring these participants to trial." This was no little-known war crime that accidentally 'fell between the cracks', this case was presented to the highest levels of the British Government. Significantly, the British Lord Chancellor, Jowitt, on exposure to the Suez Maru case, responded with horror, saying, “ ... the case of the Suez Maru atrocity is a particularly nasty one, and one which would arouse great feeling in this country as it concerns so many Allied men murdered at sea...” The British Foreign Secretary, Bevin, stated, "...there must inevitably be a strong moral case for bringing war-criminals to this kind of trial,...” and the British Secretary of State for War, Shinwell*, wrote that, "... the relatives of the murdered prisoners of war might well cause questions to be asked if they heard that those responsible would never be brought to justice.” The fact that this war crime was presented to the highest levels of the very Government elected to pursue justice for British subjects, that the right moral and legal decision was entirely within the gift of that Government, and that, in fact, the case had already been recommended to proceed to trial, and that the moment of justice was noted and ignored and thereby allowed to pass our loved ones by, and further, that the entirety of the Suez Maru case and the potential trial was then deliberately concealed from the very families of the men killed, is the reason for this campaign and petition.358 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jacquelyn Frith

Remove the industrial fencing from the childrens' area in St Andrews ParkWhile we accept that the council erected this fence with good intentions it became clear quite soon after that it was not required. Other areas of the park have been open for a long time and it seems this fence is just a leftover. It has though, a detrimental effect on park goers and should be removed forthwith and not be linked to any subsequent decisions over opening the paddling pool.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jonny Gibson
