ELITE 100During the 40s 50s and to a lessening degree, the early 60s Middlesbrough was home to 15 cinemas, Eight of those existed within One Square Mile of the town centre ... Today, only two remain standing, both purpose built, both designed by James Forbes. The Elite never did get the two organs for which it was designed, settling instead for one, a Compton 6 Rank Organ which years later, thrilled those ABC Minors as it arose from the ' Depths Of Hell ' From its' opening in 1923 nothing changed until it closed for modernisation in 1964 when, everything changed. Gone was the ornate plasterwork which surrounded the audience with passing passing references to Greek Gods ... Now ( I believe ) hidden behind dropped ceilings and studded walls. Gone is the Art Deco Ballroom and Restaurant ... Gone, the quaint Tea Room of yesteryears. The great Domed Glass Roof remains ... Magnificent, Vast, Cathedral like. In a town which has seen many of its' Heritage Buildings destroyed in the name of progress ... This building which holds memories for the people of Middlesbrough as numerous as the bricks from which she is built must be saved ... For, where else would the ' Ghosts Of Cinema ' play51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Malcolm Nellis

Johnson Must ResignJohnson is refusing to resign. Even though other people resigned having broken the rules. For example, Matt Hancock. If Johnson won't do the honourable thing and resign, it needs to go to a full Parliamentary debate, and make it clear to him - the UK population are not going to stand by, and let him get away with breaking the law, and yet remain in a leadership position35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jools R

Lets save the country and get renawable power now.It is up to everyone to join this campaign. if you have panels you know what they can do, if you haven`t, you are missing out. It`s a no-brainer really, with a hot water cylinder you can have free hot water for most on the year. In around 2015 a report said that photovoltaic panels on the rooftops of private houses has out performed the coal fired power stations. Not long after Boris was PM another report said panels on domestic roofs had out performed all other methods, including nuclear for energy generartion. I wrote to Boris and the then energy minister but nothing came of it. Now we need clean, own generated energy. It`s time for the public to join this cause and tell the energy minister and the wider Government where they should be putting our hard earned tax money. Please support this campaign, it does make sense.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Martin Garside

Broken Borris Must GoAt a time where the British people are going through “heat or eat” issues, ongoing tax hikes, war in Ukraine, attacks on U.K. institutions, secret lobbying, uninvestigated profiteering the public deserves a government and leadership that can restore trust by telling the truth and be accountable to the electorate4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Hopcraft

Rename Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine StreetDemonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine by renaming Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine Street. As you are reading this petition, the entire 40-mln nation of Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against Russian aggression. People of various professions are being armed to protect their native cities, thousands are volunteering to join the Armed Forces to bravely protect their country. Civilians spend their nights in bomb shelters because residential areas of Kyiv and other cities are being shelled from army-grade missiles. Living away from Ukraine, it is sometimes hard to know how you can support the people under attack. However, there is one way you can, simply by supporting the campaign to rename Melville street to Ukraine street. This would be a simple but incredibly meaningful act of symbolic support for the courageous Ukrainian people who defend the values of freedom and democracy from the 2nd strongest military power in the world. As you know, Russia with its leader Vladimir Putin demonstrates quite poor historical knowledge about Ukraine. Russia seems to forget that Ukraine is a sovereign state. At the same time, Ukraine is the homeland of people whose long struggle for independence has been a testament to their unyielding, indomitable spirit and free will. Walking down the Ukraine Streets for Russian representatives to their embassies and consulates all over the world would be a great daily reminder of Ukraine's sovereignty with democracy and freedom as its highest values. Several European countries have already changed the Russian embassies’ address lines for Ukraine. Albania gave part of a street a new name "Free Ukraine Street," Lithuania renamed a street to "Ukrainian Heroes Street" and Latvia – "Independent Ukraine Street". Scotland has a great track record in solidarity with what is right. In the 1980s Glasgow’s St George’s Place was renamed Nelson Mandela Place due to its position as the home of the Apartheid South African consulate. Let’s do it again for Ukraine! We call for global solidarity and address officials, mayors, activists to initiate and support the renaming of the streets with Russian Embassies and consulates into Ukraine Streets all over the world! Thank you for standing with Ukraine and adding your name. Please share widely to get more support. #StandWithUkraine21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Viktoria Semenova

Protect Clayton Road and Stour Close from Traffic ChaosWe have to move quickly to prevent Persimmon Homes from going ahead with this request. The additional traffic along our already congested residential roads will lead to further congestion and the potential for more accidents. We see this as an attempt by Persimmon Homes to overturn the planning condition to build the access via a new roundabout on the A120.167 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Stephen Wright

“CLEAN" ENERGY TECHNOLOGY PARK IS A NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE“Clean” Energy Security? The raw material for nuclear is uranium which can be found in in the UK in the Orkneys but which our government buys from, for example Kazakhstan where it is largely mined by leaching out the uranium from the rock using massive amounts of fresh water and chemicals. “Clean” Carbon footprint? Nuclear is at least the third highest carbon emitter after coal-fired plants and natural gas. As uranium becomes more scarce more energy and chemicals are needed to get the uranium out of the ground. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority have calculated their carbon footprint for 2019/20 as 1,046,950 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). This does not include operation of nuclear reactors or include the building of Hinkley Point C with the biggest pour of concrete in the UK ever. The nuclear and fossil fuel industry are mutually intertwined. The biggest gas plant being constructed in the UK right now is at Sellafield, home to 80 percent of the UK's existing nuclear waste which needs to be kept cool. The heating effect of discharges to the atmosphere and sea and also the use of water as a coolant for reactors and nuclear wastes are all contributing to ocean temperature rise and climate change. An honest description of Nuclear would be : Radioactive Fossil Fuel by proxy. “Clean” Radioactive Emissions Radioactive emissions occur at every stage of the nuclear fuel cycle from the mining of uranium to enrichment, to fuel manufacture, to operation of the reactors, to the “disposal” of nuclear wastes. These emissions occur both routinely and accidentally and have already resulted in large swathes of the world’s land and oceans becoming irreversibly polluted with man-made radioactive isotopes. "Clean" and Healthy? Radiation can damage the DNA in our cells. High doses of radiation can cause Acute Radiation Syndrome or Cutaneous Radiation Injuries. There is no such thing as a “safe dose” of radiation The “Clean Energy Technology Park” just 3.9 miles from the centre of Preston is planning an incinerator to burn intermediate level radioactive wastes from across Europe. This would result in daily plumes of chemical and radio-toxic airborne fine particle emissions blowing accross Preston City Centre. We call for the word “Clean” to be replaced by - Nuclear - at the "Clean Energy Technology Park".232 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Marianne Birkby
