Save West Kilbride LibraryOur very attractive Library Building overlooks the village of West Kilbride and has stunning views across to the hills. Our Library is one of the most well used in North Ayrshire and has the potential to increase its service by developing links with other creative and educational projects. The IT suite was in constant use. Attendance at a public consultation drew one of the largest oppositions in the Local Authority. This is one of the most unpopular moves suggested by the Council and compares with their disastrous decision to close public toilets and swing parks - both of which are now viewed by communities as a complete mistake.1,061 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kay Hall

British Gas to return furlough paymentsBritish Gas received £27m of government support during the Covid pandemic for employment retention. During their claim for tax payers to support furlough payments British Gas issued a fire and rehire notice which has resulted in over 1000 engineers leaving the company and up to 700 being dismissed by not signing new contracts on worse terms. It is morally wrong for British Gas to accept tax payers money while deciding to dismiss their engineer workforce. Sign this petition to support our request for British Gas to return tax payers money immediately.335 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Chris O'Tool

Save the Couper Institute and LibraryThe Couper Institute and Library are important community facilities in the southside of Glasgow. Built in 1887, the Institute has served as an important venue for community groups and organisations for generations. The attached library was build in 1924 and is an important community resource we cannot lose. The Couper was under threat in the 1990s and the community came together to fight the closure - we need that same solidarity again. The Couper is noticeably missing from any reopening plans and this is extremely worrying. The community calls upon Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life to ensure both the Institute and Library are reopened as soon as COVID regulations allow. The Couper must not be forgotten!2,482 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Craig Carson

Let Sussex Homeless Support use Elmore Rd's available wastelandWe have asked for it to place 2 or 3 of our pods, the first one is ready to place, these are single story 20ft x 8ft they will sit on stilts so do no damage to the ground, we will not be taking trees down or digging mass foundations. The area is used a fly tip and is often full of rubbish as it was on the day we visited. Our idea is to blend in and join a community, we hope the community engages with us. None of our clients require parking spaces. Our tenants will be selected to match this project and the rents set low will allow them to start work build up savings and move on to a bigger home. It is so important for us to get this project running and it has to be central. Please show your support and sign this petition. By 2022 there will be an estimated 250,00 homeless in England. They will be living in Temp, Emergency and the Streets. Our project is a first home and a genuine plan to lead people back into the community and away from being homeless. All we can do is be there give support and hopefully see a change. If these changes do not work a recent study shows by 2030 we could have as many as 2 million Homeless. We believe the community hold the solution.516 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Jim Deans

Immediately Pause Gravel Extraction at Watersplash Farm, SheppertonThe Watersplash Farm area is at high risk of flooding due to climate change and no 3-D modelling of fluid flow in the subsurface. The Farm is adjacent to vulnerable areas such as Fordbridge Park mobile home park. The effects of Climate Change have not been fully disclosed by SCC or CEMEX who are extracting the gravel, a vital flood defence, and replacing it with impermeable clay brick. This is a risky venture with potentially devastating effects on the community. A flooding disaster is just around the corner if we do not pause this anti-scientic project. Who will pick up the bill? The community, of course.657 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Paul Hollingworth

We don't want the Super League"Football is nothing without fans" It is the beautiful game and steeped in history and culture. It is a game full of stories of the 'little team' overcoming the odds to win. Young girls and boys dream of growing up to play for their hometown club, to lift the FA Cup, or winning their first cap for their National team. Leicester City won the hearts of the nation (and even the world) when they went from the brink of relegation to Premier League champions and playing in the Champions League. A story that will be told for generations to come. The 'European Super League' threatens all of this. The proposal comes from the millionaire and billionaire owners who now run our beloved clubs. They have no respect for the fans and the long history of the game. Why are they doing this? For one reason alone - to make more money. This is a shameful move and will rip the heart out of football.41,669 of 45,000 SignaturesCreated by Sam Keyte

UK to recognise its 1 million + Spanish & Portuguese speakers.Latin; Iberian; Hispanic; Lusophone; South/Central or Native American; Spanish; Portuguese; Brazilian; Luso-African and Hispanic or Luso Asian peoples together are the UK's largest ethnolinguistic minority. They do not want to be considered as “others”, but as one block as happens now within the Greater London Authority, and also in the USA where 60 million of them have an official heritage month to celebrate their rich culture and contributions, and can tick a special census category as well as their own national identity. According to official data from the ONS, HO and FO there are more than 1 million UK residents born in Ibero America and the Spanish and Portuguese speaking nations without counting their descendents. They constitute a very significant community who has been contributing to Britain from many centuries and they deserved to be recognized in all monitoring forms and having a History Month.199 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lady Pilar Brennan

Science Museum: drop Shell now!It’s just been announced that Shell is sponsoring a major new climate exhibition at the Science Museum. This is completely irresponsible! The museum should represent the very best of what we can achieve when we work together. It’s about discovery, facts, and creating a better world. It’s where children come to learn. We must not let Shell, which has spent decades devastating the planet for frontline communities across the world, anywhere near this exhibition. The museum cannot let itself be used by a fossil fuel corporation - especially in the year the UK is hosting the COP26 climate talks and must show climate leadership. We demand they reverse their decision - now.51,933 of 75,000 SignaturesCreated by BP or not BP?

Tax F.A.S.T. fashionNew research has uncovered the real cost of fast fashion - showing that a £4 t-shirt should cost over twice as much (almost £9) if fast fashion brands were held accountable for the true cost to people and planet of manufacturing their goods irresponsibly. It is proposed this tax would be flagged to shoppers with clear ‘health warning’ labelling that explains why the item is taxed. This would make it easier for consumers to choose ethical and sustainable products, plus close the price gap between fast fashion and ethical products. The F.A.S.T. tax would be levied on companies who cannot prove their supply chain doesn’t include: · Forced or child labour · A negative impact on local water supply · Sub-living wages for workers · Toxic chemical and non-green energy usage Please help us ask the Government to make unethical companies pay for the damage they’re causing on planet and people by signing this petition.774 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Georgeson

Utilising the Square in Petersfield for bars/restaurantsIt would encourage more locals to eat and drink out and sit outside whatever the weather. And could put Petersfield on the map for tourists as a nice place to stay and to eat out.568 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Natalie Gosden
