• Plastic-free fruit and veg
    We are drowning in plastic. If we left the packaging at the till (which we are entitled to do) they would soon stop. They don't want a mountain of plastic to deal with. So why are we accepting it? Loose fruit and vegetables means a weekly shop without contributing to landfill and carbon emissions. It is a no-brainer. The supermarkets need to know how it is entirely unnecessary and unwanted to package fruit and vegetables.

  • Tottenham Hotspur: Kick gambling ads out of football!
    My name is James and I'm in recovery from a twelve-year gambling addiction. This devastating period of my life took everything from me and started at 16 years old with a £5 bet on football. In my teens, I was on the end of an extreme amount of gambling advertising and sponsorship through my love of football. Even the club I supported, Tottenham, had an online casino on the front of their shirt. I trusted football and because it kept telling me to gamble, I did. Once on the sites, the bookies cross-sold me their more profitable and addictive casino and slots products, which is where the addiction and harm really happened for me. Football's constant reminder to gamble made cutting down or stopping nearly impossible. I love Spurs and they are a club that does so much good work in their community and bring a lot of joy (despite on-field performances...) to a lot of people, but promoting gambling to young fans in this country and around the world is jeapoardising this. There are 409 deaths related to gambling every year in England alone and so many recovering addicts like me attempted or contemplated suicide. A YouGov study from this year shows that 2.9 million people are either already addicted or at risk of being so, with a further 3.3 million classified as “affected others”. These stark figures show what we already know: gambling harm is not an issue affecting just a small minority, it is severely harming – sometimes killing – many. To prevent any young fan from experiencing what I and so many others did, I'm urging Spurs to cancel all gambling partnerships, say no to any new offers, and back The Big Step campaign.

  • Stop Centrica stealing from the British people
    Somehow normal people need to find a collective voice, loud enough to get the Government to listen. A petition is worth a go. It might get traction and become a noise that they can’t ignore.

  • Introduce railway-style drugs and alcohol screening and testing in Parliament and Downing Street
    Parliament and Downing Street have been turned into a worldwide vision of chucking out time at 'Spoons. We pay £84k plus £200k in expenses for this performance: the least we should expect is the sobriety and drug-free standards we expect from railway workers.

  • Block Boris Johnson's honours list
    Boris Johnson resigned in disgrace. But despite his actions around the Partygate scandal he's still had an honours list approved that gives the likes of Jacob Rees Mogg and Priti Patel knighthood and damehood. People who tried to defend and prop up Johnson's dodgy behaviour should not be rewarded with a lifetime position in the House of Lords. Right now the list has been approved, but the honours have not yet been awarded. A huge public outcry could get Rishi Sunak to rethink this list - and block it before it goes any further!

  • NHS staff forced to pay for parking
    Many NHS staff do their job with a sense of purpose and to contribute positively to society in a meaningful way. Many are poorly paid, particularly in todays economic climate. Many have been front line staff involved with direct contact with covid amongst many other infective organisms which poses a risk for them and their family. I cannot see any moral reason to charge hospital staff to park where they deliver the healthcare to the nation. I don't think we should have to pay anything at all - any costs should be included in the hospital budget

  • Scrap unfair ticket price hikes after the Oasis fiasco
    Tickets for Oasis much anticipated reunion tour went on sale on Saturday morning with unprecedented demand. But once fans had got to the front of the virtual queue they saw  tickets had risen unexpectedly as a result of Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing policy. Dynamic pricing are standard tickets which increase in price due to supply and demand, similar to those you could expect to see on airline websites. This unfair system meant thousands of Oasis fans missed out with tickets priced at £350, up from £135 when the sale began. The Government have announced they will look into the use of "dynamic pricing" with a consultation starting in the autumn.  This is not a one off and is being used for the sale of multiple artists’ shows. This new system may be run by official websites but effectively acts like a glorified ticket tout.

  • Birkrigg Park - keep & repair the bus shelter
    It seems a real shame to lose a facility that is for all residents, particularly young residents who get the school bus. The council had previously agreed to take ownership of the maintenance of this shelter on behalf of the BP residents but is now suggesting other uses for it. If we lose the shelter we wont get another. To make the shelter less of an eyesore, removing the perspex panels and cladding it in tanalised wood has been suggested. This would weather naturally and would last year 5 - 10 years. The cost of doing this would be covered by the council. If you'd like to keep the shelter and have it repaired as suggested please sign this petition. The more signatures the better. Please ask everyone to sign in your household, including young people.

  • Car free zone in The Slade Village
    The increased parking on The estate to ravine grove will de-crease congestion by having a park and ride to the new Elizabeth line, which will decrease road pollution. A pedestrianised village on the Slade will increase footfall for businesses and create a community playing area for children
