The traffic at all times of day constantly comes to a standstill, people jump the lights or take dangerous cuttings to get through the backed up flow. Changing the traffic light sequence will speed up flow dramatically and be much safer.

We believe that this is important because there are no council provided outdoor youth facilities on the west side of the District and this contributes to rising levels of anti-social behaviour and poor physical health leading to potential issues in later life.

The misconception that multiple piercings or wearing certain jewelry could disrupt the educational setting is not only outdated but harmful. Schools should be a landscape for personal growth and freedom, where diversity and individual expression are not just valued but encouraged.

Other people should join my campaign as teaching younger people about politics reduces apathy and would increase real participation. Without this education, younger people may be inclined to follow footsteps of friends or family, and not have an opinion of their own.

Wickham Fields is one of the last open green spaces left in this part of Haywards Heath. It has been used by dog walkers, families, and residents for generations. Crest Nicholson want to build 50 houses on it, despite the council's own District Plan not allocating it for development.  The site sits next to two Grade II* listed buildings dating back centuries, local schools and GP surgeries are already stretched, and all traffic would be funnelled through a single quiet residential street.  Recent decisions show that community opposition works. An 80-home proposal at nearby Colwell Farm was refused after residents objected, and a 725-home scheme at the golf club was blocked. But that only happened because people spoke up. If we don't act now, we lose this field permanently. Once it's built on, it's gone.

Platforms like X, Facebook and Instagram harvest our personal data so that they can target us with ads. Their platforms are designed to keep us online, pushing out content that will keep us engaged. Their power to shape and control what we see online is not only harming children and adults but democracy itself.  But we often feel locked in, not wanting to leave the spaces where we still have friends, family and followers.   The Government says it’s holding Big Tech to account over online harms but it’s doing nothing to challenge the surveillance capitalism that underpins these companies' business models.  Proposals to age gate the Internet or ban under 16s from social media are treating the symptoms not the cause. They may restrict some children’s social media use, but they risk pushing children into unregulated spaces and don’t change the system that created the problems in the first place.   And for adults it means all of us having to provide personal data for digital identity check to access lawful speech. This just feeds more personal data into the machine that is causing harms.  To tackle online harms, we must reform the surveillance-driven business model at the heart of Big Tech.

 Sleep apnoea is not a minor inconvenience. It can severely affect physical and mental health, increase the risk of road and workplace accidents, and contribute to life-threatening conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical. Yet persistent underfunding has led to excessive waiting times and limited access to essential equipment, leaving many without the urgent care that they need. 

Uber make the complaints process a complete nightmare and make what should be a straightforward process unbelievably difficult if not impossible.

The situation is dangerous and getting worse.  • There are no pedestrian crossings on any of the three crossing points.  • There is a lack of effective speed limit and traffic light enforcement.  As a result, some residents feel trapped in their own homes because it is too dangerous to cross the road, including parents with children, elderly people, and those with limited mobility or disabilities. The pedestrian refuge islands are too short for a bicycle, too narrow for a parent with children, and inconsistent for those using mobility aids, making safe crossing impossible. Without safe crossing and speed management, residents cannot safely access essential services including schools, GP and dental services, pharmacy, the Iffley Turn bus stop, shops, library, sports facilities, Florence Park, and community spaces.  Some residents report waiting several minutes for a safe gap to cross. Most have experienced dangerous situations. Many residents feel forced to drive even very short journeys because walking across the junction feels unsafe. Near-misses happen, and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt. The safety of this junction must be the paramount priority. This has been previously discussed with councillors, with reassurances made, but it only resurfaces as a topic when local elections approach. This petition is about basic safety and dignity. People should not be trapped in their own neighbourhood because crossing the road has become too dangerous. Sign to demand action before someone gets hurt. 

Current verification platforms, such as Yoti, have alternative methods, but places like Discord are not using them. They seem to rely on government IDs or face scans. The face scans are very precise and for a totally blind person who might want to do this independently, it's impossible. I, myself, have tried several times. However, platforms such as Steam or Microsoft provide other methods that don't require a face scan. Such as entering a credit card number. This has worked first time for me.

This is important because sewage pollution directly harms people, wildlife, and the environment.  1. Protect Public Health – Sewage carries bacteria, viruses, and chemicals that can make people sick if it enters rivers, seas, or drinking water. 2. Save Wildlife – Rivers, lakes, and oceans are home to fish, birds, and plants that are killed or damaged by untreated sewage. 3. Preserve Ecosystems – Clean water is essential for healthy ecosystems. Sewage disrupts the balance, leading to long-term environmental damage. 4. Prevent Climate & Environmental Damage – Polluted water contributes to wider environmental issues, including harming the oceans, coastal areas, and local communities. 5. Uphold Human Rights – Water is a basic human need. Everyone deserves safe, clean water, not water treated as a profit-making commodity. In essence: clean water is life — we can’t let profit destroy it. Privatised water companies have been allowed to prioritise shareholder dividends over environmental protection and infrastructure investment. The result has been widespread sewage dumping into our rivers and seas, damaging wildlife, harming public health, and polluting our natural environment. We call on the Government to:  • End the system that allows water companies to effectively self-regulate.  • Legislate to remove the routine use of sewage overflow discharges into rivers and coastal waters.  • Introduce a clear and time-bound plan to return water services to public ownership.  • Require mandatory reinvestment of profits into infrastructure and environmental protection. Clean water and healthy ecosystems must come before corporate profit. 🧪  Sewage spill scale • In 2023, water companies discharged untreated sewage into rivers and seas for around 3.6 million hours — the worst on record. That’s more than 410 years’ worth of raw sewage dumped in one year.   • There were approximately 464,056 sewage spill events reported in 2023 — up about 54 % from the previous year.   📉  How frequent and long • On average, each monitored storm overflow spilled around 31.8 times during 2023 — far above the government’s target of less than 10 per year.   • Untreated sewage spills often lasted around 8 hours each time they occurred.   🌊  Coastal pollution • Analysis shows over 68,000 incidents of sewage released directly into the seas and estuaries in 2023, lasting more than 440,000 hours near coastal waters.   🐟  Environmental impact • Sewage discharges contribute to widespread water quality failures — with many waterbodies not meeting ecological health targets because of sewage and wastewater pollution.   🧍‍♂️  Health & Recreation • High sewage spill rates have been linked with increased illness reports after swimming in bathing waters, with thousands of people falling sick in recent seasons.  

Our money could be used to fund much needed Social House building and local services. A managed phase-out of fossil fuels is the only fair way to solve our climate crisis and end the creation of new plastics polluting our planet.  Allow us to spend our taxes where we want them spent.
