Save the Intimate Theatre, Palmers Green!The Enfield Local Heritage List describes the building as having landmark status, rarity value, historical association and social value in the local community. The Theatre was the home of the John Clements Theatre Company, and the site of the first play ever to have been broadcast live on television. By the end of the 1960s it had become the last repertory theatre surviving in London. The theatre still plays host to a range of dramatic and operatic societies, and local events. Many famous people appeared on stage here, including Richard Attenborough (in his stage debut), Irene Handl, Anna Wing, Nicholas Parsons, Roger Moore, Arthur Lowe, Bill Owen, John Inman, Dad’s Army writer Jimmy Perry and his wife Gilda, Tony Blackburn, Steven Berkoff, Davy Graham, David Bowie, The Wurzels, Joe Brown, George Melly, Tommy Trinder, Hinge and Bracket, and, in panto, Bill Pertwee, Ruth Madoc and John Noakes. Local resident Stevie Smith attended regularly. John Clements was knighted for his contribution to film and stage - Bristol University holds an archive in his memory. This is one of the last local theatres left in London. The two-storey frontage is in red brick with stone quoins and window surrounds and seating for an audience of up to 406 people. While the parish clearly has plans to redevelop, if they see the local and national opposition this will create they may look to revise their plans. To make this happen, please sign this petition now! Thank you!5,057 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Garry Humphreys

Mobility Aids Center Totton, Hampshire must remain insitu.The sudden announcement that Totton, Hampshire Mobility Aids Center should close on the 12th October 2018 demonstrates a complete disregard for every local resident. The idea of a Mobility Aids Center is to assist those people most in need. I know personally how difficult it is to obtain such resources. Already there are severe limitations to Patient Transport, Community Transport. Being forced to travel to "selected destinations" will instantly be out of reach for local residents affected by the "change. Due to mobility restrictions of residents Fording-bridge and Lymington is impossible and definitely impracticable for the overwhelming majority. Visiting the Mobillity Aid Location in Totton has been my last resort and have been using the service for the past 15 months. Hampshire County Council have a duty of care for her residents. To allow closure is not the answer or a reasonable adjustment. What is certain Geoff Chesire "refuses to acknowledge people in crisis" This can not be ignored. Thank you everyone for your support.433 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Alec Nayler

Let's have lifts at Stroud station£300m of funding has been ear-marked by the Department for Transport to improve access at railway stations. Stroud station should have funding to be inclusive and allow everyone the choice to use rail transport and enjoy a smooth and comfortable journey. At the moment, the alternative route for wheelchair users or those who cannot manage the steps is a difficult route without dropped kerbs, over rough surfaces and with gradients that would be impossible for those not in a motorised wheelchair.1,376 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kim Cowan

Prevent the closure of the Creche at Strode Leisure Centre, Clevedon.The closure of this provision will have a detrimental effect on the health and wellbeing of parents in the area. It is the only creche facility for excercise in Clevedon. For many parents this is the only time they are able to exercise as they have no-one else to look after their children. Exercise for parents is especially important to help combat depression, regain fitness and lose excess weight after pregnancy and for some it is the only time they get to themselves in the day and it’s a good time to build up a social group. Added to this the creche workers who have cared for children for years at strode will be made redundant.108 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John Newbold

Save Shaftesbury Cattle MarketShaftesbury Cattle Market is the last undeveloped publicly owned space in the centre of Shaftesbury. North Dorset District Council (NDDC) supported by Shaftesbury town council, against the wishes of the people of Shaftesbury, as proved by a public vote, wish to sell the site to a developer. The site may be used for a supermarket, although there is an empty supermarket in the centre of Shaftesbury, housing or a care home. The petition is to stop the sale so that the land is used for the benefit of the people and businesses in Shaftesbury. A community centre, car parking, fitness suite, new doctors surgery, leisure centre have all been suggested. The money from the sale will line the pockets of NDDC a council which will cease to exist in April 2019 and not benefit the people of Shaftesbury.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Thompson

DITCH PLASTIC RINGS ON BEER AND CIDER CANSPlastic rings from beer and cider cans are littered everywhere - from our parks to our rivers and beaches. They can harm or even kill birds and fish, and together add up to thousands of tonnes of plastic waste. There’s a simple solution: get the biggest beer and cider companies to ditch the plastic rings. There are alternatives ready and waiting - Carlsberg just announced they’ll use recyclable glue instead. Together we can convince other beer and cider companies to do the same. If thousands of customers tell them to do their bit to reduce the plastic litter and ditch plastic rings, they’ll have to listen. It won’t solve the plastic crisis overnight, but it’s a small step that could make a massive difference. If you want plastic litter to be a thing of the past, sign the petition now.220,487 of 300,000 SignaturesCreated by Geraint Ashcroft

We demand an apology for Hardeep Singh KohliBy not commenting on it and not fixing the situation on Celebrity Big Brother as it happened Channel 5 have made it clear they do not think this behaviour is unacceptable. They allowed it to continue for entertainment value and profited from this. This sends a message to the general public that what occurred in the house was alright and you can also behave that way.172 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Emma Arnott

Stop the redevelopment of Saffron Lane Athletics Track, LeicesterLeicester City Council have proposed that in the near future the infield of Saffron Lane Athletics Track will be redeveloped to incorporate a full sized football, rugby and American football pitch. This redevelopment will mean it will be no longer possible to hold athletics competitions which include field events and also make it extremely difficult for athletes who wish to practise these events to train. Events such as County Schools Championships as well as many other competitions will no longer be held. This will deny hundreds of athletes of all ages and abilities the opportunity to participate in athletics particularly at competition level. There has been no confirmation from Leicester City Council as to when the stadium will be used by football, rugby and American football teams which also raises concerns that use of the track for runners will be also limited. Please support our campaign to stop this redevelopment and ensure that future generations of athletes will be able to enjoy the positive benefits the sport of track and FIELD athletics has to offer.4,500 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Aneska Button
