Keep all our One Stop ShopsOne Stop Shops provide essential support and advice to residents. Up to March 2020, before lockdown, there were eight full-time One Stop Shops serving their local communities. In addition to routine queries, the One Stop Shops advise and support people facing emergencies such as homelessness, or the stopping of benefits for essentials. To save money, the Council proposes to replace the eight community buildings with two One Stop Shops full-time, with a variety of part-time services being offered in other buildings. We are now facing a situation of unprecedented austerity. Many Liverpool residents do not have internet access, and others have complex situations which cannot be dealt with online. Others will not have the money to travel to a One Stop Shop at the other side of the city. We need the face to face service located in our local community.1,959 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ruth Knox

Improve the footpaths around our local parkThe Droitwich lido park including St Peter’s fields and Arboretum is a lovely asset and should be accessible to all residents and visitors regardless of the weather. This has been highlighted recently with the poor weather over the winter, the need for exercise and the lack of a variety of paths to be able to socially distance without getting muddy. At the moment there is a main path through the park but no circuitous route for people to be able to explore around the whole park area as there are in many other parks. A circular network of paths will allow better access for pushchairs or mobility scooters to access around the park. It will also encourage exercise with people having a circular route to run or walk around the park and could even host a parkrun which can bring many more visitors to the town and therefore assist local businesses.136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by A Darbyshire

BAN THE SALE OF ANIMALS ON LINEIt is important because it leads to illegal breeding of animals, some if which suffer immesurably in terrible conditions, also the theft of animals by criminals It is a new and lucrative way for anyone to make sometimes thousands of pounds out of innocent animals, in particular dogs, who are repeatedly impregnated to provide litter after litter, only to have their babies ripped from them and sold on to anyone, who in turn may go on to do the same thing, because there is so much financial gain This is becoming a massive issue, and YOU the advertiser's have the power to put a stop to it. Do the right thing be the first. HELP THEM PLEASE.25 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicky Rose

Save our planet! INSIST on Agricultural and fisheries farming reformsThe environmental impact of agricultural farming and fishing is NOT sustainable and is killing our oceans, rainforests and will in turn kill our wildlife and our own oxygen resources. This is happening NOW! We are almost too late to stop it but we can start to insist on change now by forcing this conversation to begin!!!30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy Thompson

BAN PARAQUAT - LETHAL WEEDKILLER MADE IN HUDDERSFIELDBAN PARAQUAT – LETHAL WEEDKILLER MADE IN HUDDERSFIELD. According to the Pesticide Action Network "Paraquat is the most highly acutely toxic herbicide to be marketed over the last 60 years". It is so toxic that one sip can be lethal. It’s been banned in over 50 countries, including the UK and EU since 2007. Yet it is still produced for export at the vast Syngenta plant near the centre of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman wants to see a worldwide ban on paraquat, and is calling for Syngenta to stop making paraquat in the town. Tens of thousands of tonnes of paraquat leave the plant every year, over a third goes to America where strict licensing laws govern its storage and use, though deaths still occur. Australia and Japan are also wealthy customers. The rest goes to various developing countries where thousands of deaths – both suicidal and accidental - have been reported. Syngenta itself estimated the worldwide toll to be 2,000 deaths per year, 95% of which are suicides. In 2014 there was a leak of paraquat at the Huddersfield plant, but the serious threat to the community this represented was averted by the direction of the wind. Inhaling the substance can lead to lung damage and evidence points to Parkinson’s disease too. Syngenta was fined £200,000 and carried on production. Every April Syngenta’s loudest siren is tested on the streets near the plant. Following a real incident this siren indicates residents should go indoors immediately, extinguish all naked flames, shut all sources of ventilation, leave children at school... until the all clear is announced on Radio Leeds. This campaign seeks to address the direct serious human risks posed by continued production and use of paraquat. As well as suicides, accidental swallowing, Parkinson's and lung disease there is also CATASTROPHIC ENVIRONMENTAL HARM. As it takes up to 6 years to degrade in the soil it can have a serious impact on humans and other mammals. There is an urgent demand from farmers worldwide to reduce the effects of paraquat on agriculture. Jon Heylings, formerly a leading toxologist at Syngenta for over 20 years, warned his employers repeatedly that the levels of PP796 (vomit-inducing additive) were insufficient in paraquat-based weedkillers to trigger prompt vomiting, leading to multiple organ failure and slow death.

Petition against recent: The Commission's Report into Racial and Ethnic disparities, March 2021The petition is important to help to give the overall views of all BAME people in the UK rather than considering a small sample given by the commissioners in the report. Our BAME HUB-UK NETWORK organisation believes that BAME is a single entity that embodies all the ethnic minorities group as an umbrella which express our concerns related to structural and systemic inequalities, injustice and neglect. BAME HUB-UK NETWORK is also empowering and advocating for BAME communities and their families. Nations progress when all its people are involved in a collective endeavour to develop and cooperate. The word BAME and its activities should be retained and supported to achieve these noble objectives which not only help BAME members but also the wellbeing and understand of the nation at large. In BAME HUB-UK NETWORK we don't ask for any special favours but equal opportunities and fair treatment of all that is inclusive of our culture and religious needs.424 of 500 SignaturesCreated by BAME HUB-UK NETWORK

REDUCE CAR PARKING FEES IN NEWTON ABBOTThe cost of parking for the day in the town centre is now £5.50. I believe that is extortionate. Alienating the town and businesses within the town because people are deciding to travel a little bit further to save money. It’s not even free on Sundays and bank holiday anymore - the cost is £1. I believe it should be a couple of pounds for all day. It is discouraging people from choosing Newton Abbot at a shopping destination, costing working staff within the town a small fortune weekly to just be able to attend their workplace. Elderly people will not pay it. It’s extortionate.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ashleigh Croughan

help save the children of YemenThis campaign was started by a group of woman friends in Sutton Coldfield that was formed six years ago to increase understanding and friendship between Muslims and Christians (all sorts from Quaker to Catholic) in the local area. We were so horrified at the terrible Belsen-like pictures of the children in Yemen, and so ashamed of our Government’s decision to cut the aid to them that we wanted to try and change it. We are not a political group(views are again very varied), but in this matter we do have the strong support of our local MP, Andrew Mitchell, who is deeply knowledgeable about what these cuts will mean and calls his party’s decision ‘unconscionable’. We have also received a strong letter of encouragement and support from Cardinal Vincent Nichol, head of the Roman Catholic Church in England. .According to UNICEF More than 12 million children in Yemen* are in danger from war, disease and hunger. The United Nations estimate that another 400,000 children under five are likely to die there this year, 2021.. Many children have already died of hunger because of the war. Children who die in this way suffer immensely as the functions of their vital organs slow down and eventually stop. Their immune systems are so weak they are more prone to infections with some too frail to even cry and their parents are helpless to save them. Children are starving to death and it is entirely preventable, but at the recent UN donor conference, the response of the British Government to the ‘worst Humanitarian disaster in History’ was to cut its help in half. We are asking that the help be restored immediately to the level of 2020. We cannot abandon these children *(South Yemen used to be known as Aden)942 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Frances Heywood
