Bring the life changing migraine drug Erenumab to England and Wales.Migraine is a common health condition affecting 1 every 5 women and 1 every 15 men according to NHS. Based on my own experience and according to the Migraine Trust, Migraine is more than just a headache. As a migraine sufferer myself it really affects my personal and working life. As a mother of two young boys I have to cope with the amount of pain and discomfort in each migraine attack that I have to face regularly. Since migraine is a debilitating condition , it severely affects sufferers ability to work while having migraine attack which can be regular and long lasting.143 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nafiseh Lashmore-Davies

Save Brown's Lane's cobbles!Brown's Lane has the biggest concentration of murals in Paisley (eg. the Gerry Rafferty, Paolo Nutini & St Mirrren murals) and has a unique, quaint character, to which the cobblestone street surface is pivotal. The lane receives many visitors from far and wide who come to experience the authentic atmosphere and the lane frequently serves as location for photo shoots. Instead of relaying the cobbles smoothly, Renfrewshire Council is proposing to replace the bulk of them with slabs, yet keeping and relaying the cobbles in adjoining George Place. Removing the cobbles will ruin the character and appearance of the lane and irrevocably destroy a part of our heritage that has remain virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. With the cobbles, festoon lighting and colourful buildings, Brown's Lane is Paisley's own 'hidden gem' and forms a cohesive visitor experience with the cobbled Shuttle Street, George Place and Sma' Shot Cottages, celebrating Paisley's rich local heritage. We implore the Council to keep and fix the cobbles in Brown's Lane in order to improve access and preserve our valuable built heritage.1,148 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Friends of Brown's Lane

Don’t turn away NHS patients without IDsSome GPs are turning away patients who can’t produce ID or proof of address. It means vulnerable people can’t see the doctor when they need to. This is against the rules. The NHS is clear - you don’t need to produce ID to see a doctor. But the rules aren’t being enforced. We need Health Secretary Matt Hancock to make sure they are. And together, hundreds of thousands of us can convince him. There are many reasons you might not have ID on you. You might be homeless, or fleeing an abusive partner, you might have moved here recently and not have a permanent address yet. It doesn’t matter - turning people away from seeing the doctor is wrong. Not only that - it could end up costing our NHS more down the track when people get sicker and show up at A&E. Please sign the petition today. Together we can convince Matt Hancock to crack down on GPs who are turning people away.3,617 of 4,000 Signatures

Thomas Cook’s bosses should pay back their bonusesWhen travel company Thomas Cook collapsed, thousands of jobs were lost and families were stranded on holiday, desperate to get home. Our taxes ended up paying for the clean-up. But the bosses in charge at Thomas Cook walked away with millions of pounds in bonuses. It’s not right. Now the government is considering making them return the money, and stripping them of the right to run companies again. It would be a huge step forward in holding big business to account. Forcing Thomas Cook’s bosses to pay back their money won’t bring our jobs or holidays back. But it could send a message - you can’t walk away while the public clears up your mess. It could make other bosses think twice before taking risks with our jobs and savings. By signing the petition, together we can create a wave of public outrage - it could tip the government into cracking down properly on businesses who cause a mess and walk away.106,680 of 200,000 SignaturesCreated by Debbie Prior

14c busPeacehaven is becoming a large community, and we are told not to use cars, as at one point they were trying to encourage people to use a bus, hence they created the "bus lanes" for this reason214 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Shelley West

PARK IN DROMORE LIMAVADYKids Can Play Safely In The Park, There Not Near Any Of The Country Roads. It's great for kids development. Parents that live in the Dromore Avenue Area That Have No Availability of Cars dont have to worry about taking their kids 3miles into limavady to let them go to the park when it is at their front door. Dromore avenue up baranailt road really needs a park for the kids growing up in the area & for other kids near by that have no access to cars.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kim Patten

Ban single use plastics in the UK.In the UK alone the amount of plastic waste generated annually is estimated to be nearly 5 million tonnes. With only 9% of all plastic ever made actually being recycled that means that our beautiful planet is filling up with toxic plastics. It is clogging up our seas, killing our wildlife and is in our food and in the air that we breathe. The saddest thing is that most of this plastic is completely unnecessary and we now have so many solutions and alternatives available and we need to put pressure on our governments to put laws and solutions in place to stop this devastation now. Everything that is made from plastic can be made from hemp and this is easy to grow, it enriches and heals the soil it is grown in, cleans the air, and reduces pollution. It has some of the longest, strongest natural fibers known to man. I feel so passionate about this issue as I have seen first hand in Bali the waterways and beaches awash and full of plastics. It is heartbreaking and I set out to help make people aware of what is happening and bring about positive action and change. There are millions of images of animals that are being tortured and killed by our everyday plastic use. Plastics that are completely disposable and that last forever on our planet.4,633 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by shelley Hayes-Williams

How accessible is your local train station?Because I believe everyone should have equal rights regardless as to whether you have a disability or not. I believe the local train stations should be accessible for everyone. Less than 60% of Greater Manchester's train stations have step free access. If ramps were available at my local train station I would have used these instead of the steps as they were hard to manoeuvre and I fell over.1,501 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Nathaniel Yates

STOP the petrol station on Bolton RoadThe sale of new petrol cars will be outlawed in eleven years time. Building new Petrol Stations is an impractical business move, it causes immense disruption to local residents in a suburban area who will suffer from light and noise pollution throughout the day. The TFGM report into the plans suggested that significant traffic problems would be caused by cars trying to turn in and out of Watling Street and has been underplayed in the developers submission. They suggested a full reconfiguration of the site but the developers have not taken this into account. Environmental reports shows that a brook is culverted under the site which feeds into Elton Reservoir, a site for sailing and swimming as well as a water reserve. The risk of contamination reaching this brook through the soil is not insignificant and poses a public health risk. Air quality on Bolton Road would significantly deteriorate in an area that already suffers from poor air quality, another health risk to residents in the area. This plan is unfit for purpose and as such, we implore the committee at it's hearing to dismiss application 64138172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Samuel Turner
