• Mill Lane School Crossing
    With new houses are either end of Mill Lane traffic has increased and the safety of our children has reduced. With 2 near misses in just 1 week where children have nearly been knocked over by vehicles driving both up and down Mill Lane we feel it is only a matter of time before this is a reported incident.

  • Pelican crossing urgently required
    This road is very dangerous!!! I was nearly wiped out this morning due to one car stopping and one not. This could have been a child! I'm concerned that it won't be long before someone will be seriously hurt or killed. Every morning, cars are having no regard to parents and children wanting to cross over the road to go to school and are flying past like maniacs! Some children walk to school themselves and it is frightening what could happen. Something urgently needs done, sooner rather than later, for the the safety of our residents.

  • STOP back door privatisation in Frimley Health Trust
    NHS staff are facing a new peril that is sweeping across the UK. Frimley Health Trust is creating a Wholly owned subsidiary company that is another route for the Trust to cut terms and conditions for staff and save money through avoiding VAT. Frimley Health will have a private company which will be set up by them to deliver outsourced NHS services. Please support our NHS workers who are under threat of being privatised by signing the petition. #NHSmeansNHS

  • Demand Spotlight Change their Gender Options to Include People Who Identify Outside of the Binary.
    Spotlight is “the industry’s leading casting platform”. As such, and in such a competitive field of employment such as Stage and Screen, Spotlight is gatekeeping to prevent Non-Binary and Gender Non Conforming persons from even entering the field to apply for a large percentage of the work due to their binary choices of gender options available to register. This prevents us from both applying for work as so many casting calls require spotlight, but also, from applying honestly. This wastes both the time and money of both performers and professionals seeking artists to cast for specific roles. Non Binary people are valid and performers should not have to identify as other than who they are in order to apply for a very necessary Spotlight membership.

  • Increase the fines for breaking electoral law
    We're now facing one of the most important elections in the UK’s history. And yet it’s still far too easy for millionaire donors and political parties to break the laws that keep our democracy fair - and get away with a mere slap on the wrist. You can be fined more for touting tickets at a football match than you can for subverting British democracy, with the maximum fine only £20,000. This is often a fraction of the money that parties are spending on elections. There needs to be a stronger incentive to follow the law. The Electoral Commission, whose job it is to police the rules that keep elections fair, have asked for the power to impose much bigger fines on those who break the law during elections. But so far, our political leaders have refused. More of us need to sign the petition so we can pile the pressure on our political leaders to change this law before we’re faced with another election. Will you join us and sign the petition today? We know the extent of election abuses thanks to investigations by us at openDemocracy and other journalists at the Guardian, Channel 4, Byline and elsewhere. Please consider signing up to hear more about the important work we do.

  • ASCEND CLIMBING GYM - Bring Climbing To Louth
    We started this project because the sport of climbing is completely unrepresented in our area. We want to give people the chance to experience the fun and excitement involved in climbing and to expand their resources to achieve a healthy lifestyle. The people in our community have already showed a huge amount of interest in this project and with climbing's debut in the 2020 Olympics there's no better time to make this project a reality.

  • Keep the HGV Cap on Chalkpit Lane
    Very disappointed, but not surprised, to see that Southern Gravel have appealed the decision by Surrey County Council to cap the number of HGV movements on Chalk Pit Lane and protect residents in the area. I worked with local Councillors and residents over several years to get SCC to even introduce this cap and we will absolutely continue to fight this. For several years residents have been fighting to ensure Southern Gravel behaves like a good neighbour, but time and again the management behaves without any regard for the local area. I am pro-business, but I am also pro-responsible business. Thanks to the work of residents, an actual cap has been placed on the HGV movements – whilst this is still high, it was accepted as a compromise. The way to succeed is for all of us to work together to lodge our objections and as your MP, I will work to bring everyone together and fight this all the way. I urge all residents and those who would be impacted by this to sign my petition and raise their own objections by emailing [email protected] quoting the reference ‘APP/ROMP/19/01’ by the 17th July. Please do send me a copy of your submission to [email protected]

  • Save the 15 bus.
    The bus no longer terminates at Fleming Place – where a purpose built complex of flats for older people is no longer served by a bus service. The bus no longer operates on a Saturday – a service that Students depend on to commute to the Easter Bush university campus. There is no longer a service that travels over regent road – inconveniencing commuters and in some cases increasing the commute by 30mins – I can speak for this one myself. This change has affected retirees, students and commuters alike in one of the most deprived areas in Scotland. Those savvy enough to have twitter were given 12 days notice, less if you have the TfE app and no notice if you are not technologically minded. As a direct result of this petition Lothian Buses have been questioned in the Governance, Risk and Best Value Committee by the council on how Lothian buses makes these decisions and whether they take into account the community they supposedly serve. We also have raised the topic with the Transport and Environment Committee on Thursday 12th September. it is key that social impact assessments are taken into account when making these types of decisions to avoid depriving areas of the support they rely on from their public transport services. Responses so far have been poor and unrevealing from Lothian Buses.

  • Do not repeal the fox hunting ban
    In a modern, civilised society, there is no place for this grotesque and cruel pastime. Foxing hunting has been banned in England and Wales since 2004. But Jeremy Hunt one of the candidates to become the new Prime Minister has said he'd offer MPs a free vote on lifting the ban on fox hunting if he thought there was a chance of it winning. This is a barbaric and outdated activity that should stay where it belongs - in the past. We have a choice in this life, we can be kind, or we can be cruel. I think the choice is easy...

  • Help Steffan Stay In Scotland!
    I am starting this petition in regards to the decision made to refuse UK residency to a very dear friend of mine. Having experienced racial attacks and prejudice in his native USA, Steffan Chadwick Harris moved to Scotland and has been a member of our community for years, having received a spousal visa through his wife. However, as I’m sure you appreciate, marriages do not always last forever, and Steffan and his wife are currently in the process of divorcing. I lived in the same building as Steffan for many years. Since separating from his wife, Steffan has moved out of Edinburgh and has managed to secure a job working in Kirkcaldy. He has become a much more confident and happy person and is contributing positively to society. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive country who welcome people from all walks of life and I believe that after 8 years in Scotland, Steffan belongs here. I would be very grateful if somehow we could convince the Home Office to reconsider the decision to deny him his future in our country.
