Make the 1st Monday of November, "Labour Day Bank/Public Holiday"The UK is one the few countries in the Western world that does not have a day that celebrates the hard work and sacrifice's made by the people who help keep this country running. Last year while so many of us who where unable to work. There where those key workers who kept on going providing essential services. By creating a extra Public Holiday which everyone can enjoy & which celebrates the many who we depend on would show appreciation & recognition. I also believe it would be beneficial for the mood of the nation to have a Public Holiday in November, when have so many close together in the spring & summer. But nothing in the autumn.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Doležal

Brighton Council Reverse Fines Issued at the Bus Gates Until The Signage Is ChangedAn astonishing 9,618 tickets were issued last month alone – that’s 310 a day or one every two minutes at peak times – and this was down on the figure for August. Given the sheer number of fines issued this is clearly not drivers ignoring the road signs this appears to be an attempt to fleece innocent road users. This is damaging to the moral of the local population and discourages the tourism that Brighton and Hove relies on.1,856 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Damien Williamson

Ban Private JetsWe have all got to get serious about fighting climate change by taking deliberate steps to reduce our carbon emissions. However, it is easiest for the big emitters, such as the users of private jets, to make big reductions. Simple morality dictates that the wealthy should cease endangering the lives of the poor by wasteful behaviour. However, the damage incurred by private jet flights is so disproportionate that legislation is needed to prevent them.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Burton

Brighton & Hove City Council STOP SELLING OUR LANDBackground information: Our land - We are concerned about how our Council is managing its most valuable asset, public land. There is a growing danger that it may consider disposing of land for short-term benefit, without full consideration of how it may solve the City’s long-term problems. A major ongoing issue being the shortage of suitable housing for local people. Housing costs and incomes Sussex Live reported in May 2021, using Government data, that rent payments take up nearly 47% of income for those who live in Brighton. This is now ahead of London. In addition, too many people are trapped in emergency and temporary accommodation, and this is more than likely to increase if we do not act now. Consequences of bad housing: - There is a growing awareness of the web of knock-on effects due to inadequate housing, including malnutrition, drink and drug abuse, domestic violence/abuse, child poverty, mental & physical health issues. The resolution of these issues is becoming increasingly difficult for local Councils to resolve, and we are seeing long established safety nets gradually being removed. Social housing – the solution – We cannot fail to be aware of the importance of decent, sustainable social housing as a means of improving people’s lives, thus enabling our Councils to use their resources more effectively. This view is supported by every major housing and homeless charity in the UK , who have agreed that building more suitable homes is the only answer to the Homeless crisis. Many more Council Homes - We must, therefore, use our publicly owned land to build council homes. UK Central Government has allocated £10 billion to build social/council homes. Both Conservative and Labour Parties have accepted the latest report prepared by "The Kerslake Commission" and both parties have agreed to build a minimum 90,000 council homes a year. The Green Party in our city have always supported community house building and to build homes fit to live in for decades to come. Action required - So, with these facts in mind, we can see no justification or excuse for the Council trying to sell off our land for ineffective private development. This must be used for building much-needed Social Homes. We the public, as owners of this land, must tell our elected Councillors to protect it from being sold off or tied up in long leases, often at nominal prices and allow it to be used for the benefit of our communities. Please sign and share this petition and get your friends (and friend’s friends!) to do the same. If you can’t sign this, you may be part of the problem!746 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Jim Deans

Free permit for parent and child parkingIt is important as these spaces are being taken advantage of to the disadvantage, frustration and difficulty to people with young children in car seats. The space that these have also make unloading and loading the children safer than a regular space. mention the safety aspect. Some parents rely on these spaces to ensure that prams and trolleys are parked at the side of their vehicle while they unload their children. If they don't get one of these spaces it means that the children have to be placed at the back of the vehicle with traffic passing by. The spaces are also generally next to walk ways and/or zebra crossings to allow safer walking which is especially important when you have more children than hands. Parking in these spaces when you do not require it is directly putting children in danger by forcing parents to park prams and trolleys on the road and then cross the carpark with children273 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Louisa Rossi
