• Save our Services in Glasgow
    Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life cannot be allowed to ravage our city’s heritage. These services are not a luxury, they are at the heart of any cohesive community. Our community assets should not be regarded as a cost to the public purse but an investment in the health and wellbeing of our community for generations to come. Glasgow says No. We will fight these cuts. OUR CULTURE! OUR HERITAGE! OUR SERVICES! OUR FUTURE! Below is a list of public assets that are vulnerable to closure. These services belong to the People of Glasgow and in a post-Covid world their continued existence will be crucial to improving the quality of life of the city's population. The list so far includes: Barmulloch Library Couper Institute Library Gallery of Modern Art Library Maryhill Library Whiteinch Library Balgrayhill Community Centre Couper Institute Hall Garrowhill Community Centre Geoff Shaw Community Centre Langside Halls Molendinar Community Centre Pollokshields Community Centre Ruchill Community Centre Shettleston Community Centre Tollcross Community Centre Woodside Hall Provand’s Lordship Scotland Street School Museum and Janitor’s House St Mungo’s Museum Alexandra Park Golf Course Bellahouston Bowls Bellahouston Pitch and Putt Caldercuilt Playing Fields Castlemilk Bowls Cathkin Pitch Drumchapel Bowls Glasgow Club Petershill Glasgow Club Yoker Glasgow National Hockey Centre Glenconner Park Greenfield Park and Football Pavilion Halgreen Avenue Playing Fields Hogganfield Pitch and Putt Ibrox Football Centre James Lyndsey Memorial Park Pitches Kelso Street Pitch King George V Playing Fields King George’s Field Knightswood Pitch and Putt Linn Park Golf Course Lister Street Bowls Lochend Football Centre Maryhill Bowls Maryhill Tennis Mount Vernon Football Pitch Netherpollok Playing Fields Netherton Bowling Green Netherton Pitches and Pavilion Penilee Secondary School Pitch Peterson Park Pitches Queen’s Park Pitch and Putt Queen’s Park Bowls Ruchill Golf Course Scotstoun Sports Campus Outdoor Hall Springburn Bowls Victoria Park Bowls Victoria Park Rugby Pitches Victoria Park Tennis

  • Remove nhs contracts with opcare
    Opcare are an independent company contracted by the NHS to assess the needs of disabled patients and help them get the correct mobility aids. They are treating, us, the disabled people as labelled illnesses and not helping with our independent needs... We deserve help and independence, we deserve a reliable assessment centre... Removing opcare will be the first thing the NHS need to do to create a better tomorrow for its disabled patients.

  • Improve the road conditions in Birmingham
    It's no secret that in today's world there are quite a large number and variety of vehicles. But the fact that the roads for the use of these vehicles fall into disrepair and are not repaired is not common knowledge. Our petition seeks to ensure that the road conditions that exist in Birmingham are improved. We especially ask for better road conditions for bicyclists. Even the strongest roads tend to deteriorate. Potholes and potholes form in them, preventing cyclists from riding properly. Our company sees several significant problems with potholes that we believe should be addressed. These problems manifest themselves in the following ways: Getting into potholes causes many bicycles to fall into disrepair; hitting holes in the roadway contributes to an increased likelihood of accidents; avoiding accidents by changing vehicles increases traffic congestion; abandonment of bicycles serves to impair people's physical health. Let's look at these problems separately. The first point says that because bicyclists get caught in potholes, their vehicle breaks down. Accordingly, it must be repaired. These days, replacing bicycles or their accessories is not cheap. Therefore, potholes on the roads affect people's unforeseen expenses, which can worsen their financial condition. The second problem is particularly dangerous because it speaks to the direct impact of potholes on people's health. Accidents can lead to serious injuries and, consequently, large medical bills. When people give up their bikes and switch to private or public transportation, as mentioned in the third point, then congestion on the roads increases. And this, in turn, has the effect of increasing traffic congestion and also an increase in accidents. And the last point is the deterioration of people's physical health due to their lack of physical activity. When they switch from a bicycle to a car or bus, then they spend less energy on physical activity like pedaling. Their mindfulness may slow down and their bodies will become less healthy and athletic.

  • Call on government to pause its major reorganisation of the NHS and social care
    The proposals would, among other things: - increase fragmentation of the NHS by putting Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) on a statutory footing - embed a postcode lottery, so that the health and social care services that you can access will vary depending on where you live - open up the opportunity for private companies to have a say in what health and social care is provided in an area – creating huge potential for conflicts of interest - allow hospitals to discharge vulnerable patients before they have been assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), leaving families to pick up the pieces – and leaving those without family potentially at risk of being left without the care they need - bring uncertainty to the future of the NHS workforce by failing to set out any precise limits to the scale and scope of any restructuring - leave the issue of access to and the funding of social care unaddressed – yet again It is simply wrong for the government to rush ahead with such major changes while NHS and care staff are exhausted from fighting Covid-19 and at a time when meaningful public engagement, including public meetings, can't take place. The government will soon be publishing a Bill to bring its proposals into effect and make them law. This petition is designed to put pressure on the government to do the right thing, pause the process until after all Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, and then carry out a full public consultation so that patients, NHS staff, care workers and unpaid carers can have their say. It is vital Boris Johnson listens to our concerns and takes action.

  • Save Bells Piece Day Centre
    This is a major Disability Service, it has been closed during the Pandemic and is set not to reopen, this is a huge blow to it's service users. Leonard Cheshire Disability own this facility and Bells Piece are willing to work with them. The service offers so much to it's users for example: Cooking, Gardening, Music, Drama and many other skills it's users would never have the opportunity of accessing.

  • Give Us The Graduation We Deserve
    We pay £9,250 each year for our course to at the end receive a formal congratulations which we deserve. The excuses UoS have made are not adequate and with clubs opening in June, and concerts opening, we are more than disappointed we can’t have a graduation, even if it is altered to be more safe e.g. done outdoors, socially distanced, smaller groups. GIVE US OUR GRADUATION!

  • Write off debts taken out by coercive partners in their partner's nane
    This only serves to remind the coerced/abused partner of what happened to them and also they did not apply for the credit. It frees victims of abuse from the financial burden generated by their abuser. Imagine spending 18 years being coerced, finally get up the courage to call the police. Your abuser gets sent to prison but you find that they spent money they took out in your name and now you have to pay back money that they spent or declare yourself bankrupt.

  • STOP THE BAN AGAINST FOREIGN *GHANAIAN* DRIVERS' LICENSE
    STOP THE BAN AGAINST FOREIGN DRIVERS' LICENSE this important? It is important for Ghanaians living overseas to drive cars/vehicles in Ghana with their foreign Drivers' license. This is because hiring cars will be very dear and incur unnecessary extra expenses. Without drivers or taxis their Ghanaian born professional drivers with overseas licenses can't drive and their movements become restricted. Is Ghana after stagging 🧍‍♂️or moving economy? Ghanaians abroad and back home please let us all kindly append our signatures to call for a change to this decision. This is because the impact is real and would not benefit anyone. In case a family member is dying, a Ghanaian born professional driver cannot drive his or her own car to take the sick to hospital. What is DVLA and The Government of Republic of Ghana trying to accomplish? I stand to reason once again along these: First, we are Ghanaians though we do not live permanently in Ghana to waste resources in acquisition of Ghana driving license which takes about one year to be ready, also getting license in a country we visit occasionally when the license again is expensive to come by. If any individual should finally settle in Ghana, the condition is different from those of us who visit occasionally for just a month or two. Secondly, drivers with foreign drivers' license have credible international experience which local Ghanaian drivers may not have and could learn from. For instance, in Ghana, road crossing at pedestrian walkway is ignored by local drivers when pedestrians 🚶‍♂️are ready to cross, over loading of vehicles causing various road accidents and damage to the roads, local drivers lacking entire patience to driving and hence, majority of accidents every year round. The Government of the Republic of Ghana through DVLA should find a reasonable means of controlling the longer use of foreign Drivers' License but not just 90 days to one year which all countries allow. This *regulations will help the police to be more corruptible* in a country where we are totally struggling to deal with corruption. When the regulation is allowed to operate longer in its current state, the police officer is likely going to take money that will never get to the accounts of the government. I can help Ghana government and DVLA to establish something concrete that will accommodate all stakeholders to curtail the longer use of foreign Drivers' License better than permanent ban of foreign Drivers License. Let us not compare ourselves to countries who have advanced technologically to do things right and damage our economy. Let us get things done gradually, friendly and accordingly taking the economic impact into consideration, most Ghanaians will not be happy coming home, if they can not drive their own cars hence, affecting the growth of our economy especially the income generated from Ghana Ports during clearing of vehicles, which is used to subsidized Free SHS and many other projects in the country. I, therefore, suggest that the Government of the Republic of Ghana through DVLA should give this regulation a second consideration to attract our own people living overseas to invest in Ghana because they cannot come here without driving to undertake their business errands. How can they travel locally to their homes or hometowns? This decision will typically dwind

  • Save West Kilbride Library
    Our very attractive Library Building overlooks the village of West Kilbride and has stunning views across to the hills. Our Library is one of the most well used in North Ayrshire and has the potential to increase its service by developing links with other creative and educational projects. The IT suite was in constant use. Attendance at a public consultation drew one of the largest oppositions in the Local Authority. This is one of the most unpopular moves suggested by the Council and compares with their disastrous decision to close public toilets and swing parks - both of which are now viewed by communities as a complete mistake.
