Fitness for kidsTo tackle lack of fitness and obesity in school children. This would assist greatly in the health of the nation. When I was at prep school in the 1950s we had a PE session every day before lessons. As a result all the children in the school had a basic level of fitness which stood them in good stead for the future. There were very few obese or overweight children at our school. Some of this was probable diet but exercise is hugely important for health.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charles Mitchell

Save our Post Office services in North BristolCrow Lane Post Office provides invaluable services to residents, particularly the elderly and disadvantaged. The next nearest Post Office will be a bus journey away which is unacceptable for elderly, disabled and vulnerable people. As well as the cost of the bus ticket, the time and inconvenience, some will not be able to make bus journeys due to ill health and this will place a heavy burden on our community. There is a large population of elderly people living close to Crow Lane specifically for the convenience of the shops and particularly the Post Office. This area should not be deprived of a vital service such as a Post Office. If you agree and would like to show your support please sign our petition on the right.792 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Teresa Hogan

Stop the proposed £50 a kill badger cull.Badgers are a key species in our British ecosystem and one of the most recognisable and best loved mammals in the English countryside. Native to this land, they have lived alongside humans for thousands of years. More recent intensive farming practices have placed enormous pressure on local wildlife, including badgers who are consistently solely blamed for the spread of bovine TB. Offering a bounty for the culling of these animals, infected or not, will have a massive impact on their numbers and put at even greater risk the fragile balance of our environment. A scientific study from 2010 suggests that "badger culling is unlikely to contribute effectively to the control of cattle TB in Britain".2,017 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Williams

Save our Northamptonshire busesThe cancellation of bus routes will leave many without any public transport to do the very basics like visiting a doctor, getting to school, or picking up groceries. Without this bus service the most vulnerable in our society will face social isolation, difficulty accessing work, and expensive taxi fares. I have spoken to a woman who uses a bus to visit her 90 year old father. She doesn't know how he'll manage if she can't visit him to help with his meals and cleaning. Another woman in Wilbarston relies upon the 67 bus to see her grandchildren and attend regular GP appointments in Corby - without the bus, she'll be left isolated or face paying £17 for a taxi each way. Northamptonshire County Council have a duty to protect the young, the elderly and other vulnerable groups - cutting these services and leaving these groups isolated, without public access to the most essential services is not right or fair.1,927 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Beth Miller

Display Carbohydrate value on front of all food packagingALL carbs end up as sugar in our blood. To concentrate solely on 'sugars' (traffic-lighting) is misleading (and in some cases cruel) to many who strive for a healthy diet for themselves and their families. Clearly showing total carbs will help diabetics avoid serious complications. It may even guide the food industry to make ever better changes to prepared food. There is a growing low-carb movement (not just diabetics) as people are becoming aware of the links to weight management and other significant health benefits. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the UK (I am reg blind as a result of diabetes retinopathy) and reading the carb value can be difficult enough (even for those with great vision) as the writing is often so tiny. In most cases I end up taking a picture so I can then zoom in. This is very frustrating.1,287 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Emily Mackay

Protection for Airport Passenger valuables at Security.Airport Security scanning is recognised as an essential part of safety for passengers. It is also a ‘Mandatory’ process. All Passengers must place their valuables in multiple trays on conveyer belts and they do so trusting that their belongings will be safe in the Security Processes. It is reasonable that they should believe this, as there is no alternative and one can refuse security scans if they want to fly, and rightly so. However, this is not a voluntary process. It is enforced. Therefore, it should be mandatory that all Security staff ensure all items are protected and controlled during the whole checking process, then safely returned to their owners. Passengers do not expect their items to be at risk of theft when they place these items into the trays and into the hands of the Security staff. Nor do passengers feel they can challenge anyone if, in all too frequent situations of peak passenger flow, they suspect these items will be at risk by complying to these regulations. It is wholy unfair and unacceptable that this is happening and is causing undue stress for passengers and it is an open invitation to criminals. As seen in current media articles. These items should be safe and the current process unacceptable.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Mayall

Save Seven Hills swimming poolSeven Hills pool has only been open for 5 years & is unique in its offering, catering for the children of Sheffield & surrounding areas who have SEN needs. Their hydropool is one of few in the area & very important to the children that use it, helping with movement & pain relief. The pool also offers swimming lessons to children locally & is well used. Following talks with the local council, Seven Hills school propose to close this important facility to replace it with a gym which would be of very little use to the children. They state they cannot afford to keep the pool even though the swim school have offered to contribute financially & make up any difference. Please help us save our swimming pool.1,748 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Siddall

Boots to pay staff in London the London Living WageI have spoken to many Boots UK staff, who are all struggling to pay their bills from month to month. I think it is awful that members of staff who work 37.5 hours a week, are in a position where they are struggling to pay basic bills. Some even have to go to food banks to support their families. This needs to change. Staff members who currently work in London get approximately £3000 less than the London living wage a year. Based on the 2016-2017 Government figures for social housing in London, this equals to around 26 weeks rent. This is half a year's rent that staff are having to find by making cuts to their already tight budgets.6,226 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Foster

Keep NORTH WARKS ONLY Emergency Responce car and not reliant upon community volunteers.This is the ONLY first response car. We have a voluntary community response who.will still remain. However this is still a reduction from our community and we will be dependant upon the community voluntary responder . The time for a first responder to get to north warwickshire residents is crucial . It takes over 20 mins to get to us from lichfield. This is the same if not more.from coventry and at least 10 to 15 mins from nuneaton. Cost should not.come into saving lives. If its about saving on rent for building then let the responder be based at the fire station. If this is passed we will be reliant on the community voluntary responder.107 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Dawn Downes

We want Lincolnshire County Council to cut all our grass.We pay Council Tax to have ALL of the grass in public areas cut, it’s been the same arrangement year-on-year; until this year. This year, Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) are trying to pass ‘non-essential’ grass cutting onto Stamford Town Council. As a result you will pay TWICE for grass cutting. Let’s let LCC know this isn’t on and stop similar stealth taxes being introduced. #LCC transparency128 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Carroll
