Include people with autism and Asperger’s into the covid vaccine policyIt is important because people in the above groups have been forgotten about in this pandemic and it needs to stop. People with autistic spectrum disorders and all people with learning disabilities should be included not left out. And put on the scrap heap as they usually get done to them so they have a voice now121 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Mark Barnett

Save Bewerley Park & East BarnbyBoth Bewerley Park and East Barnby have been providing Outdoor Education to pupils in North Yorkshire for many years. The staff at these centres are the most experienced you will find. It's not just a case of taking some kids on a trip to try a few activities. What they provide are vital life skills. No other centres (that I have taken school groups to) come close to the knowledge, understanding and support like BP & EB do. In a time when mental health and the aftermath of COVID will have a ripple effect for many years to come EB & BP are equipped and ready to roll out support across the county ASAP. They support schools with learning outside the classroom, pupils with SEND, introducing pupils to new activities, provide experience to gain life skills. They support staff with training, confidence to deliver, first aid and Midas training along with opportunities to gain qualifications in various Outdoor Adventurous Activities. There are 45 staff at risk of losing jobs but also North Yorkshire and all the schools within North Yorkshire losing a vital place that can't be replicated anywhere else.

Improve Central Hill, Crown Dale, and Elder Road junctionElder Road junction has split highways management between Lambeth and Croydon and for years has been left without improved crossings. It is cross border, where Central Hill is principally managed by Croydon, and Crown Dale is principally managed by Lambeth. We request a joint cross-border approach to: - investigate, consult and report what layout changes and other interventions would improve road safety at the junctions with Elder Road and Central Hill and Crown Dale; - introduce new road safety measures by schools (Croydon and Lambeth side), especially to address school opening and closing; - reduce dangerous speeding by drivers, and consider 20mph due to the concentration and number of local schools, and its steep hills; - and encourage increased walking and cycling locally, to make safer access to local parks, to many local schools and health services on this road, and to seek funding for highways improvements. Also important, is to tackle other dangerous junctions on Central Hill (at the Salters Hill and the Westow Street junctions), and further along Crown Dale. This section of A214 (from Crown Dale to Crystal Palace) sees too many Killed and Seriously Injured (KSI) casualties. We want a safer future for everyone who lives, works and goes to school on these local roads. Add your reasons for signing with concerns you have about safety on this road.192 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Fran Bernstein

STOP the Goods Vehicle Operator’s Licence in Station Road BricketwoodWhy is this important? 1) Environmentally, Bricketwood is already suffocating from road traffic pollution from the surrounding motorways and A roads. 2) Residents in this small village cannot and should not be subjected to any further impact by the addition of 12 heavy goods vehicles plus 6 heavy goods trailers continuously entering and exiting the site multiple times every day via all connecting local village streets and roads. 3) The applicant should find a site specifically built and managed accordingly and suitable for there business operating needs, ideally being located within a business park or industrial estate from which other similar businesses operate and of which were built solely to accommodate such vehicle use and business operations as the applicant provides. 4) If the site is to be developed and or used, it must be used solely for the provision of new housing, though officially the site is registered as a green belt site and as such should be left empty. If not, then the only consideration of use must be for new housing, enabling inner London home owners and or first time buyers to move out and enjoy village life, without the daily pounding of heavy goods vehicles on our streets. 5) Many people walk to the local school of which already, the pavements are not wide enough and on many occasions pedestrians are forced to actually walk in the roads to pass others also on foot and especially more so now with COVID! 6) Increased numbers of heavy vehicles will create additional noise and vibration for residents and will set off car alarms as lorries thunder pass and potential damage to building. 7) Station road (the road in which these vehicles would be operating from), has a public foot path on just one side as the other side is woodland. This endangers pedestrians and motorists on the on coming opposite Lane, when heavy goods vehicles such as in the application, have to drive over the centre white lines (as the existing roads are no wide enough), simply to get to to link roads. 8) There is a small bridge also on Station Road with a low height restriction. The bridge is positioned on what is a very sharp bend (90 degree corner and blind spot), which these large vehicles cannot maneuver around without crossing the centre white lines, causing a possible fatal accident with an either an on coming vehicle on the opposite side and or a pedestrian. 9) The amount of vehicles within the application are approximately 6 times as many as operated by the previous site users. Not only 6 times more, but will probably access the site 2 to 3 times every day, creating 54 individual heavy goods vehicles up and down our residential roads every day, 7 days a week from 6.30 in the morning to 18.30. This is unacceptable. Please sign so this can be stopped immediately360 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Darren Kopitko

Stop the Green Lanes/Totternhoe Knolls Dog Poisoning IncidentsMany local residents are worried by these incidents and many now feel unable to use this area (the largest accessible area of green space in North Dunstable) to exercise their dogs due to the risk. This will force more people to use other green spaces in Houghton Regis etc. It's not ideal in a pandemic to have to travel in the car to exercise dogs. There are at least ten dogs dead or very seriously ill in the last year (and possibly many more, as many people didn't realise the frequency of the issue until last summer). We're deeply concerned by the ongoing nature of these incidents and worried about the safety of families and pets who use the area.2,262 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Stronge

Plastic Pollution: Producers Must PayWhen Exxon or BP create an oil slick, they are made to pay for its clear up. Rightly so! But the likes of Coca Cola and Nestle and many others are creating a plastic slick all over the world and they walk away without a care in the world. And they blame us! The world is struggling under the weight of all our waste, very little of it is actually recycled, and wildlife especially then oceans is suffering. Plastic is being found in the guts of innocent creatures everywhere and they are dying as a result. Fishing tackle and nets are being dumped overboard killing countless animals needlessly and no one does anything to stop it. Its time that producers were made pay for the costs they cause us in dealing with the waste disposal and recycling and also for stopping and clearing up the pollution in our environment. A scheme to incentivise fishermen not the chuck nets away is overdue. It is time for the environmental cost of plastic pollution to be taken account of. It is well documented now that certain chemicals in plastic are causing fertility problems in humans and wildlife. The end result of all this pollution is unthinkable. It is in humanity's power to stop it and we should start with making the polluters change their ways.374 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Adam Biggs

Save our schoolPowys County Council wants to close our local primary school. If Churchstoke primary school is closed, children could go to English schools, and Powys County Council would have to pay to bus them there. This school is important because there are more family's moving into the area and would have an impact on working family's like myself to have a school that is local to us. My partner works full time as a support worker my boys go to that school and 1 of them have autism the other suspected autism/adhd since we moved to the area and the boys went to the school they have come on realy well my oldest has 1to1 and if the school closes down will have a negative impact on them mentally and emotionally and with change will take them back to square 1. Keeping the school is really important for both the children and the local area.265 of 300 SignaturesCreated by brendon dolan

Pay award for District NursesDistrict nurses have 24 hour responsibility for caseload of patients, most of the time over 100 patients, DN are first line mangers to teams of community nursing staff. District nursing is losing experienced nurses to hospital environments due to the lack of professional recognition and associated pay scale. As DN service transforms to meet the needs of the population, the care DN provide is complex and unlike hospitals, our wards are never closed, we are the wards without walls. Any investment in District nursing is to protect admission to acute care and not as a specialist service in its own right. With money invested in prevention admission , enhanced community care and acute frailty teams. District nurses were previously thought of as pillars of the community, supporting families for centuries. Now they themselves are requiring to be supported The people of Scotland deserve to have highly specialised community nurses in the heart of their community; improving health outcomes, supporting self care and providing end of life care at home. Please give the DISTRICT NURSES the professional recognition and the financial equality of hospital based nursing staff in Scotland5,711 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Jacqueline Finnegan

Stop Chelmsford City Council increasing bereavement charges by 12%Chelmsford City Council has proposed to raise bereavement charges from April 2021 by 12%, which equates to about £100 for cremations and £200 for burials. At this immensely difficult time, the City Council must think again and look for other savings, or indeed utilise reserves. It is simply immoral to hike up these charges during a pandemic. We believe the City Council should be caring for its local residents at this difficult time. Please lend us your support in this endeavour.1,409 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Thorpe-Apps

Preserve the last of our railway heritage - Bridge 234Since the 60's Bourne has lost its entire railway heritage. The few remaining buildings are private residences and at present a children's nursery. Bridge 234 is perfectly located between the community of Bourne and that of Elsea Park. The bridge can stand as a monument to represent our lost railway heritage. The immediate area surrounding the bridge can become an area where locals and visitors alike can feel welcome and comfortable viewing this last public remnant of our golden railway age. Bourne was a fourway line in Victorian times. The Bourne to Saxby line which included bridge 234 was the first complete system in England to be dismantled giving it national significance. This is our last chance to save a piece of Bourne's history Thank you1,388 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Steven Giullari
