Save Jackson's Lane Car ParkNorth Northamptonshire Council has approved progressing the disposal of Jacksons Lane car park at its Executive meeting on 17 February. Jacksons Lane is currently an operational, free town centre car park serving Wellingborough. Given the significance of this decision, we believe the issues raised in our open letter to the Council, including public consultation, enforceable guarantees regarding retained parking provision, and a clear assessment of community impact, remain highly relevant to residents and local businesses as this process moves forward. Significant concern has been expressed by residents and representatives through surveys, correspondence and public comment. In light of this, we have launched this petition. We call on North Northamptonshire Council to halt any progression of the disposal of Jacksons Lane car park until: - Formal public consultation has taken place; - Clear and enforceable guarantees are secured regarding the scale, accessibility and affordability of retained public parking provision; - A detailed impact assessment and transparent explanation of the wider community benefit of the proposed sale are published. Following this, the Council should strongly reconsider whether disposal of the site remains the appropriate course of action. Decisions affecting the future of a key town centre asset must be taken with full transparency and meaningful public engagement. Please sign our petition to show North Northamptonshire Council that Residents Say No. Save Jackson's Lane Car Park161 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Hornett

Improve Safety at the Junction of Greencliffe Avenue and West LaneRight now, it’s extremely difficult to see traffic coming from the right when pulling out of our road. Drivers have to edge into the main road just to check if it’s clear, which is dangerous and has already led to several near-misses. This junction is used every day by residents, families, cyclists and pedestrians. We’re concerned that without changes, it’s only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt. We’re asking the Council and its highways team to assess the junction and put practical safety measures in place as soon as possible.79 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shona Goldthorpe

Ossett Bike Park CampaignWe 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.821 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Tony Homewood

Freedom of expression at schoolsThe 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.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Zahra Sharma-Puwar

Help Save Wickham FieldsWickham 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.1,214 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by John Phillips

Fund Councils to Buy the Supply of Council HomesWe urgently need to replenish our decimated council housing stock, and part of the answer is real funding for councils to Buy the Supply. Over 169,000 children are homeless and living in overcrowded and often dangerous temporary accommodation. Millions more families struggle to pay soaring private rents, meanwhile millions of council homes have been sold off since the start of Right to Buy, with only a tiny number of replacements built each year. A Treasury-backed Buy the Supply fund is a serious missing link in the policies needed to fix this crisis. It would help more councils buy housing that already exists and turn it into brand new council homes. Whether that is buying back former council homes or snapping up other suitable houses when they are put on the market, buying the supply can achieve immediate, construction risk-free council housing near existing schools, parks and health services, without delay. This is a proven solution, with many councils across the country already buying up good quality homes where they can afford to. But much more funding is needed. That is why we need the Chancellor to look at this again, and create a huge new Buy the Supply fund to help councils make a real difference to all the families who need it. The benefits and savings add up and make this a great investment the Treasury must back at scale. And of course a Buy the Supply fund must go hand in hand with wider measures including: • an immediate end to Right to Buy, • a major scale-up of new council house building, and • making private developers deliver higher social and affordable housing quotas3,235 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Siân Berry

Break Big Tech: Dismantle the root cause of online harmsPlatforms 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.282 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Open Rights Group

University Hospitals of Leicester need to properly fund the Sleep ServiceSleep 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.88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by LSAPA Leicester Sleep Apnoea Patients' Association
