• Let Charlie Barker’s assistance dog George go to the Fusion festival
    Fusion won’t allow Charlie Barkers assistance dog George go to the music Festival! PLEASE HELP BY SIGNING & SHARING. From Charlie: ____________________ "I'm 23 and for one day I would just like to be that care free 20 year old who enjoys live music. But it's being taken away from me because Fusion won't let me take my Assistance Dog, George! I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. EDS affects the body’s connective tissue. Connective tissue lies between other tissues and organs, keeping these separate whilst connecting them, holding everything in place and providing support, like the mortar between bricks. EDS causes my joints to dislocate, mostly my shoulders and hips. My gorgeous George helps me to relocate them. Without George, I will end up in A&E, meaning I could miss most of the concert but more importantly Fusion will have put me through unnecessary pain. George does Deep Pressure Massage for pain relief #myrock" ____________________ Please help show Fusion Charlie needs his assistance dog George and they are discriminating against him! https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/assistance-dogs-a-guide-for-all-businesses.pdf

  • Removing the rules on flasks at the Amex
    With the upcoming ban on flasks, we find this unacceptable for many people. Some people bring soup to a game (something that is not sold at the stadium), some people bring tea or coffee as they cannot afford to buy Hot Drinks at the stadium. (This may be a family or someone on a reduced income). A flask at football is a right of passage and is for refreshment purposes not as a weapon. How many times has a football player been hit with a rogue flask? Is this really for safety or a way of increasing revenue from drink sales?

  • No 'One Size Fits all ' for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
    Every year Mental Health issues affect the lives of 1 in 4 people in the U.K. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and its resultant mental health issues are a silent killer in the military and especially in men. My son is currently in hospital having been diagnosed with P.T.S.D. Dan's Story:- https://www.gofundme.com/2q5p6z-hadrians-wall-walk?member=557154 More than 6,000 people die by suicide every year in the U.K. Nearly 80% of that 6,000 are men and male suicides are now at their highest since 2001. I ask that the medication programmes provided for P.T.S.D. are supplemented by therapies which routinely include: Acupuncture : https://www.acupuncture.org.uk/public-content/public-pr-press-releases/6374-acupuncture-study-sees-remarkable-success-rate-in-veterans-with-ptsd.html https://www.talktotrinity.com/2016/11/28/can-acupuncture-relieve-symptoms-of-ptsd/ Counselling : https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/trauma-and-ptsd/ E.M.D.R. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing : https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-27/edition-7/emdr-more-just-therapy-ptsd E.F.T. Emotional Freedom Self-help Techniques: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2540469/Alternative-tapping-therapy-favoured-Lily-Allen-used-NHS-treat-anxiety-depression.html NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL We are all individual and respond differently to different treatments. If the full range of therapies were to be on offer, to supplement the medication provided, it would give more choice for health professionals working hard to devise treatment programmes and could hasten recovery and cut down on side effects. Would it not be something to consider that when military personnel return from their 'tour of duty' that these alternative therapies are offered as part of their 'normalisation programme'. A joint funded initiative between the N.H.S. and the Ministry of Defence? We can't put a price on good Mental Health. Currently it would seem that we do in some areas. Could this be a false economy long term? Is it not time to put the individual at the centre of their care, as all Social Care Legislation stipulates, and work together to achieve the best possible outcome for the person, their friends and family and maybe for the budget in the long term? Thank you for reading and hopefully signing this petition I truly hope with all my heart that it will help to instigate a change of thinking, save lives, lessen suffering and distress.

  • De-power Scottish Natural Heritage
    To keep a balance for all who live or use the environment. Also to protect more those species that are on the endanger list from extinction and full information has to be giving to justify why species that are protected have to killed. So that we in the future are not asking questions why species that are still depleting partly due to licenses being issues and also toughen up the laws on those who kill protected species illegally.

  • Save Vale Square
    The Vale Square Residents Association have been looking after this community garden for over 32 years. Vale Square is an asset of community value. The council have refused to answer emails regarding this issue and have refused an offer to buy the square by residents stating they must bid for the property in open auction. Friends of Vale Square have invested time and money £4,000 each year to maintain the grounds including the trees which have a preservation order. Vale Square is used by local groups and is available for use by the community. It is an asset to be treasured and kept for future generations and should not just be disposed off.

  • Stop Suffragette statue being removed from Parliament
    This statue was funded by suffragettes and has stood in place since 1930. It would be disrespectful to move the statue from the public eye on the centenary of women's suffrage. We've made so much progress in the realm of women's rights but moving a feminist hero like Pankhurst away from the heart of UK politics would be a step backwards

  • To stop the SNH culling innocent birds such as Ravens, Robins, Starling etc.
    This is especially important as the Scottish Natural Heritage's job, as most see it, are there to protect wildlife and birds. Not give licences to destroy them The RSPB have some of these birds on their red list "A number of our garden birds like house sparrows, starlings and song thrushes have been on the red list for a while; this time around we see the addition of mistle thrushes. Read more at https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/uk-conservation-status-explained/#CXFzreJo5j74dJGl.99" So to actual issue licences to destroy these very birds is ridiculous! Please sign and make them aware of our thoughts and feelings on this subject

  • Save the Forward Centre
    The Forward Centre was purpose built 35 years ago as a base for adults with physical disabilities to meet others who faced similar problems and encourage each other to try things they had never thought of doing Many of the activities require specially trained staff to assist people with a wide range of disabilities often caused by accidental injuries or long term illness The Social Work Services are having to make cuts of £100,000 to their annual budget and the only way open to them is buildings or staff. If the staffing levels are reduced the service to the members will suffer so they have decided to demolish a perfectly sound building

  • Stop Veterinary Surgeons Profiteering From Our Wildlife
    We would like all Veterinary Practices to be bound by a national code of conduct and anyone rescuing sick or injured wildlife should have the assurance the animal will receive the same care throughout the country at no cost. We accept veterinary practices have overheads and bills to pay but as custodians of the planet we are surely all obligated to be responsible for all wildlife care and welfare. The level of responsibility and treatment offered varies enormously. Some surgeries will offer care and medication free, some will only carry out euthanasia with no attempt to treat or rehabilitate even a minor injury. The worst will cruelly suggest returning the animal to where it was found to die, untreated and still suffering for lack of remuneration.

  • Reinstate the Preston to Fleetwood rail link
    Dr Beeching started the closure of the rail link and Fleetwood, a seaside town on a peninsula, has been in decline since. The infrastructure to and from this beautiful town is diabolical. It is quicker to fly to Geneva from Lancaster than get to Westminster from Fleetwood. It is 5 miles to the nearest station which is gridlocked at peak times. There is no direct bus to the station and 35.2% of Fleetwood residents do not own a car which is above the 32% National average. The whole of the district of Wyre, approximately 110,000, have had one train station since 1970 when the last passenger train left Fleetwood. With the creation of more houses in Wyre another train station is needed and with the shortening of the platform at Poulton-le-fylde meaning no direct trains to London/Glasgow can stop in Wyre the reinstatement direct to Preston is needed.

  • Twenty two trees
    The Rossmere Park Island has the only breeding colony of Egrets in the whole county. If these birds move on because of the disturbance on the Island they will not come back. Not only do these trees add to the character of the park, they form a vital part of the local ecology for the Park’s large Bat colony.
