• Save Reginald House and Tidemill Garden!
    Lewisham council are planning to demolish Reginald House and Old Tidemill Wildlife Garden – if their plans go ahead, the residents will lose their homes and a unique community wildlife garden will be destroyed. We want the plans to be re designed in partnership with the community. The plans CAN be redrawn to build the same or more social homes, but keep Reginald House and Tidemill Garden. Our community demands: *Refurbish Reginald House, give residents a ballot* Reginald House residents have good homes, but council has refused to listen to them or to consider a plan which keeps their homes. Instead the residents have been lied to and harassed by council officers, and their homes run down. Lewisham Council should respect its residents’ needs and wishes and not break up communities. As in other developments, residents must be given a ballot on regeneration plans. *Keep Old Tidemill Wildlife Garden a community garden for ALL* Any redevelopment must include, not bulldoze, the thriving Garden which was built in the 1990’s by local people, teachers, parents and kids from Tidemill School. An alternative architectural plan shows how the garden and Reginald Road CAN be kept by building on the playground and developing the old school buildings. This area has some of the highest pollution levels in London, which will only get worse if the garden is lost. And the green space on the site should be kept public, not transformed into private gardens as under the current plans. *Public land, and public money, should be 100% used for the benefit of the public* Lewisham Council want to sell this land, meaning a valuable public asset will be lost forever. Millions of pounds of public money is being spent to subside this development, behind a cloak of secrecy due to the ‘confidentiality clauses' of the Council’s private partners. This land should be redeveloped in partnership with the community - to build as many social homes as possible but keep our invaluable current homes and community Garden. We want the council and developers to truly partner with the community to redraw the plans for the site!

  • Save Bartlett Adventure Park. E14
    No where for mothers and children to meet up with proper seating to have a chat/catch up. The community has no other facilities like the park in poplar. With its own toilets and unit for rainy days. It was also secure which was great for kids with Special needs (the amount of children with extra needs,is above the national average in LBTH)

  • Make our Castle Vale Community Safe
    After a recent spate of crimes on Castle Vale it is clear that the loss of a viable police presence due to national funding cuts is making our community an unsafe place to live.

  • Glasgow Warriors home game v Edinburgh should be at Scotstoun
    We, the Glasgow Warriors fans, humbly request that the silver Saturday event ONLY occurs every second year and our home event is staged in Glasgow, at Scotstoun. It is incredibly unfair Glasgow fans are made to travel to Edinburgh to watch what should be a home fixture in a poor atmosphere. If this please is ignored, no doubt it will, we fans demand that season ticket holder should be given an option to pay for 10 out of 11 games, as many cannot travel or are not happy to do so.

  • Anti social behaviour affecting residents living near the Observatory Pub
    The people living the near the pub are experiencing heavy noise nuisances from customers using the facilities. Homes and private walkways are being urinated on, bottles are being dumped frequently on the public highway and customers are often parking dangerously. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, statutory noise nuisance affects a person's health or causes disturbance to them in their property. Residents should be able to live in a clean and safe environment. The persistent anti social behaviour is substantially interfering with the living quality of residents who are living in close proximities of the premises. The area will benefit significantly with appropriate action being carried out and promote a family friendly environment. This will also allow residents to access roads, reduce crime and be able to sleep during early hours of the morning.

  • Stop excessive use of plastic toys on magazines for children
    Aside from creating clutter around our homes, it's just another example of wasteful plastic filling up our world that we don't need and promotes a wasteful culture. The magazines themselves are creative and fun and the plastic toys they use are marketing ploys to make children nag their parents for them. The toys are obviously cheap and flimsy and rarely last long for playing. Most of these plastic toys will just end up in our bins, our landfill and clogging up the oceans. The magazines are good enough without having the cheap toys tacked onto them. Redan Publishing aren't the only children's magazine to do this but they publish popular ones such as Peppa Pig and CBeebies. Hopefully by targeting them we can create interest and public pressure to challenge the assumption that children's magazines need cheap plastic toys to sell.

  • Children’s playhouse
    We received a gift of a play house for our garden for our children to play with. We have been notified from North Lanarkshire Council that we have a period of 28 days to remove it from our garden. We have a few points we would like to mention regarding the safety and wellbeing of our kids. Don't you think..... * It is safer for our children to play in their own garden than in a park which is full of broken glass and dogs dirt. * As parents it puts our minds at rest knowing we can watch our children from the comfort of our own home and know they are safe. * If children are out of sight you dont know who could be lurking about. You hear of kids being abducted and also the fear of paedophiles in the vicinity. All we are asking is to have the right to keep our kids safe in their own garden enjoying the equipment that was gifted to them. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION FOR US TO OVERTURN THE COUNCIL'S DECISION IN REMOVING THE EQUIPMENT IN 28 DAYS. Take into consideration the safety of our children.

  • Publish the postal vote count separately at elections and referendums
    Given widespread concerns about the potential for electoral fraud being easier to perpetrate through postal voting than 'in-person' voting, we propose that postal votes be counted separately from the 'in-person' vote and the numbers for each count be published when the results are declared.

  • Save after school clubs for children with disabilities in East Sussex
    East Sussex County Council currently runs some high quality after school and holiday play schemes for 5-19 year old children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). The clubs are due to have their funding reduced and then completely removed over the next 2 years, leaving these children without the support they need. I am working with Jane, a mum of three autistic children, that has Cancer. She has had a breakdown and also lost the use of her left arm. She needs this support to continue caring for her children. She has tried to request foster care for her children out of desperation, but there are no foster carers available. Like many of the children who use the after school clubs service, her children have been refused a social care assessment by the Local Authority - and have been offered these clubs as an alternative. If Jane loses this respite she does not know how she will cope. These cuts will put these families in crisis. The schools are unable to finance these clubs, so it is likely the services will be restricted and many will be closed. There is no "wider market to be explored", there is no other place these children will be safe, or that has space to take them. We believe that in making this cut the Local Authority is breaching its duty of care to vulnerable families. We want to ensure these clubs continue to support these vulnerable families and the local authority upholds its duty of care to disabled children under The Children’s Act 1989 and S2 of the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970.

  • SAVE OUR PLAY DECKS at Lincoln Court
    A child’s right to play, and to have space to play, are human rights enshrined in Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This recognises the fundamental role that play has for the health, development and wellbeing of children, and it is incumbent upon states parties to ensure these rights are protected. The recognition of these rights, and the importance of play space to communities, are clearly defined in national, London and Hackney planning policy, which make requirements for the provision of adequate play space a key factor in good place making. The proposals Hackney Council have put forward would have the effect of removing almost all the dedicated play space on the Lincoln Court estate, in a part of London that Hackney has identified as already deficient in play space. It is contrary to planning policy, and to public assurances given by the Mayor of Hackney, and Hackney Council, that their Housing Supply Programme would lead to 'no loss of play space'. These play decks are where our children built their first snowmen, where they learnt to ride their bicycles, and where they kick a ball around with friends. Please sign our petition and help us Save Our Play Decks.

  • Don't deport 10 year old orphan Giorgi to a country he doesn't know.
    Giorgi is now 13 years old and was given 30 months leave to remain in the UK in July 2018. He is an orphan and his residence permit, and that of his grandmother (his legal guardian), expired on December 28, 2020. He once again faces an uncertain future and is effectively living on borrowed time. Giorgi and his late mother, Sophie, fled Georgia, a former Soviet republic, and came to Glasgow when he was three years old. She feared his life was in mortal danger because his father owed money to gangsters who threatened to take him and sell him to pay the debt. I have known Giorgi since he was at the primary school where I am chaplain and he is a gentle, thoughtful, intelligent and funny boy. He is now in high school and thriving, socially and academically. Giorgi's mother died after a long and painful illness and I, a Church of Scotland minister, conducted her funeral and have been supporting him ever since. Sophie was in the middle of an asylum application when she died and her dying wish was that he grew up a Scottish boy in a safe and secure environment. However, he is still at risk of being sent back to a country he does not remember. The Home Office must show moral courage and do the right thing to ensure that he remains in Glasgow where he belongs. I have watched this young man grow and I have been so inspired by his progress. He is a delight to be around and I fully believe that if we support him now, he will become an asset to our country in the future. Giorgi is, to all intents and purposes, a Scottish teenager and his life is in this country. If he was returned to Georgia against his will, he would be under threat and his future would be very bleak. Please help us to keep Giorgi in Glasgow. This is the only home he has ever known and he is proud to be from Springburn. His schooling would be disrupted and his life would be at risk in Georgia. Or worse!
