AFC Bournemouth: Kick gambling ads out of football!Today, AFC Bournemouth announced a two-year partnership with Dafabet, a Phillipines-based online betting company. As a result, the company’s logo will appear across the club’s Vitality Stadium, its shirt and various other online promotions. Why do I care? Because gambling doesn’t just destroy lives. Gambling kills. Gambling-related harm impacts millions of people either directly or indirectly. Research indicates there are between 250 and 650 gambling-related suicides in the UK each year, with football often acting as the hook that draws gamblers in. This industry has been normalised by the increase amongst young people through gambling advertising during live sport. There is evidence that children of primary school age have brand loyalty towards certain gambling companies: a degree of normalisation has led to four in five university students losing an average of £30 every week to gambling. Children shouldn’t be exposed to gambling advertising at all, so at the very least it should not be marketed in football stadiums. If you don’t think that’s a problem, the numbers are there for all to see. Ipsos Mori found that 37% of 11-16-year-olds in England and Scotland have gambled in the last 12 months and almost 2% of these are classified as ‘problem’ gamblers. It’s not just children who are affected. Former Cherries midfielder Warren Aspinall has said that his gambling addiction almost drove him to take his own life. He’s not alone. There are between 430,000 and 1.4 million people currently addicted to gambling in the UK, with those suffering from gambling disorder up to 15 times more likely to take their own lives than members of the general population. Could you imagine any other industry that causes this much harm being shown to millions of people every weekend? AFC Bournemouth proudly claims that ‘Together, Anything Is Possible’. They know it doesn’t have toi be like this. Earlier this year, 20 clubs wrote an open letter to the government calling for a ban on gambling adverts in football. Reports show that if gambling sponsorship was banned and replaced, it would lead to just a 2.5% cut in revenues. I believe that’s a price worth paying and so do clubs like Bolton Wanderers, Luton Town and Tranmere Rovers. In the Scottish Premier League, Hearts have openly commented that they found it fairly easy to find alternative sponsors. I’m calling on AFC Bournemouth fans to join with a growing wave of support for an end to gambling sponsorship in football. In doing so, we can: Make football a safer place for its community, young and old, to not feel pressured into gambling. Give children the chance to wear the same shirts as their parents and the players they adore. Make AFC Bournemouth a club where those who have been harmed by gambling can watch the club they love without encouragement to gamble. Please support me by adding your name to this petition.864 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by James Swyer

Miller Highbrae Homeowners Dispute of grassed areas.We have all invested in our homes and chose Highbrae to meet our expectations as homeowners. The first impression of the development is well below par and not what we collectively bought into. Miller have been able to turf other areas of the estate - so why not the grass verges on Damselfly Road, Goldeneye Green and the areas up by the playpark? Collectively we are paying factor's fees when there is little or no grass to maintain. Miller have a responsibility to us all to rectify the areas mentioned to an acceptable standard.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Karen Falconer

Get Our Government to draw up a written Constitution!This is important to ensure that any future governments cannot take advantage of the people's trust ever again as this most recent administration has done. Most U.K. citizens will be unaware or apathetic to the fact that we do not have a codified constitution. However, they must realise that this is paramount to securely protecting our interests for the future and future generations to come.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Benjamin Alexander Ross

BT Group: Pay your staff a proper wageIt was recently revealed that one BT call centre has set up a food donation point that staff can use when their pay won't stretch to the end of the month. But BT Group made £1.3 billion in profits last year, and paid out £761 million to their shareholders. Instead of asking staff to help each other out, BT Group should pay their workers enough that they can afford to live and eat.11,356 of 15,000 Signatures

Martin Lewis deserves to be in the House of LordsWe have found someone who fights for the ordinary people, concerned for their well-being in this financial crisis. We need this person to balance the odds against those who are self-serving and only interested in their own bank balance. And in fighting the wealthy corporations and companies who are supported by the government. It's for us, the ordinary people, who need people with a platform to voice our interests.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by judy thurlow

SAY NO TO TRIPLE ENERGY PROFITSWe all have a voice in the decisions that affect our everyday lives and this current energy price crisis is questionable at best.

Reinstate Evening bus service to Locharbriggs and HeathhallThe evening service No.1/2 has not been reinstated since the pandemic. Ten thousand people cannot get a bus to or from Dumfries town and are therefore excluded from being part of the rest of the town in a form of apartheid. We therefore cannot visit people, go to work or partake in social activities if we are not willing to walk up to four miles there and the same back. Please join the campaign to put pressure on the Stagecoach company and on Dumfries and Galloway Council and Swestrans to provide their customers and community with a decent evening bus service like we had before.404 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Arthur Ramsay

Double Yellow Lines At Westover Road/Northdown Hill, BroadstairsPlease help us to have some traffic measures for this junction to ensure all can use the road safely. Drivers don't want to cause accidents but unless action is taken lives could be lost. Improvements are urgently needed. Those relying on the bus for transport often cannot cross the road and have to wait until another bus comes along. Anyone going to the Cabin Cafe, Revolution, KCC Social Services is at risk trying to access them at peak times.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Matterface

Pay student nurses for placementsNurses are vital in the huge undertaking that is healthcare, and we must make sure they are trained and recruited properly. Being a student is hard in many aspects, notably financially. Student nurses are unable to work over summer as they undertake placements during this period in order to become fully qualified practioners. We are already short of nurses, its why the government must consider easing the financial burden on student nurses. This will drastically improve the quality of our healthcare system and incentivise more students to continue their studies. It is also fair and the moral thing to do.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daniel Johnson
