The Isle of Wight cannot afford to have its freshwater drinking supply contaminated by proposed oil drilling. During the drilling process, high strength acids and chemicals are forced into the rock to get to the oil below our pure fresh water source. UKOG submitted a planning application and announced that drilling will go ahead if their planning application to the council is successful. Please go to IOW Council website to voice your concerns "the proposal to drill for oil on the island by UK Oil and Gas resulted in a full planning application to Isle of Wight Council which was rejected but that decision is now potentially being appealed by UKOG. It is absolutely vital that the people who sign your petition write to the planning department of the Isle of Wight to make their objections known. All the details are given on the following website with easy to follow suggestions to make your objections: https://www.dontdrillthewight.co.uk/..." -DontDrill the Wight We are keeping this petition open in the possible event that UKOGs appeal might be successful. In October 2021 we delivered 4110 signatures to IWC by hand and the initial application by UKOG was rejected. Oil drilling would contribute to the destruction of the natural environment on the Isle of Wight, the quality of water and would increase the impact of climate change.

Having my own experiences for the last fourteen years of the father of my two children who, became a notorious non-compliant 'paying parent', and manipulated the CSA system, and now the CMS system to his advantage, in order to avoid paying any child maintenance, it is time to STOP this happening. The current system is incapable of collecting any maintenance for 14 years! I know of a significant number of other families who have the same experience and will continue to do so, if this financial abuse of children, is not stopped NOW. There are many, many problems with the way the UK collect child maintenance and this petition address one of them that will resolve instantly the problems, including poverty, experienced by those receiving parents who do not receive any child maintenance at all, or at best, sporadic payments. My children's father is a full time senior school teacher and earning further undisclosed income. He, personally, chose to job hop when he realised he could change employers frequently and knew the system would not catch up with him until someone, i.e. me, found him and provided the details - then he is off again having been provided with notice of when an attachment of earnings order is to become effective. Too many families are experiencing this. The current system does not work. All this can STOP by CHANGING THE PAYING PARENTS' TAX CODE i.e. using existing CODING OUT adjustments with HMRC. It is that simple. The child maintenance is collected before. the 'paying parent' is paid into their or, indeed, 'another person's' account - as so often can be the case (not illegal, albeit continuing deviance). Improvements to the HMRC interface with the CMS ought to be able to show up-to-date earnings and apply the relative percentage child maintenance that applies to any paying parent. If anyone of us owes any government department any money there is legislation in place to change tax codes - relative to amount of debt and earnings - so the same method should be enforced for child maintenance! This method of collection of CM saves a significant and often, ultimately worthless amount of time, on behalf of government staff, resources and, thereby, tax payers money; but, also, a significant deal of stress to the receiving parent and the children who are suffering from the financial abuse on behalf of a significant proportion of so-called 'paying parents', who deliberately avoid detection by job-hopping and income diversion. It is a no-brainer not to collect at the level of taxation. The lives of the 'paying parent's' biological children improves on a financial level and, therefore, an emotional level by, not having to 'go without' constantly because their 'paying parent' avoids maintenance, or misses payments. Children's self-esteem is thereby improved exponentially. This, in turn, reduces mental health problems for both them and their 'receiving parent' and, thus, future social problems and mental health services they may access as a result. This action is needed NOW as those dishonest 'paying parents' have already demonstrated they will not pay by any means. We have over £35,000 in arrears by the CMS figure (closer to £100,000 but needing further validation), which can also be collected via tax code without breaching the 40% protected earnings threshold. Often any enforcement action available is, at best, ineffective especially if they ensure they have no collateral to enforce debts against - as is our case. This is nothing to do with contact issues that exist with many families. It is to to STOP non-compliant 'paying parents' from avoiding paying child maintenance and leaving their children often in poverty! Any families reading this who are experiencing these problems need to sign the petition now; and anyone at all who supports this action. You might be without children, a grandparent or an honest paying parent. PLEASE, PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION. And, finally, in order to provide further support for the above, please CONTACT YOUR OWN MP, to bring this coding out issue to the attention of the Houses of Parliament. AND SHARE this link on your social media accounts! The original draft bill on behalf of Heidi Allen has been postponed until October 2018. In the meantime, she has confirmed to me she in touch with the relevant Minister discussing her draft bill, and has raised the coding out concerns I have brought to her attention to collect child maintenance. The October 2018 date is listed in case it is still needed to get her proposals accepted. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The area has four schools and two playgroups serving hundreds of children and families, as well as many retired residents, cyclists, dog walkers and joggers. The road is a busy route and frequent speeding and dangerous driving has been observed despite the 30mph residential area limit. There have been 10 collisions in the last four years (source: https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/road-safety/accident-locations-map) and we want to prevent this happening in the future with the introduction of measures to reduce speeding and make it safer to cross the road. • We are calling for a pedestrian crossing near the junction of St Leonards Road and Brambling Road. • We also want more signage, police patrols and community support to slow down the road. • We urge all drivers to take care and remember the speed limit is 30mph. Please sign our petition urging West Sussex County Council to put in a pedestrian crossing in St Leonards Road before someone dies. Thank you for your support – together we can make a difference. If you have any comments or would like to get involved you can contact us on 07799 267486.

Traffic fumes kill more than 20 times more people than road accidents (40,000 compared to fewer than 1,800) and damage health - including children's lungs. Research says making streets traffic-free can increase footfall and trade by up to 40 per cent. That and a 20mph limit would make the town a healthier and more pleasant place to live.

as this is a large estate, ridge hill will have only 1 bus service running on the estate and expecting people especially those who are disabled like myself to walk 400meters to the hospital using the 389 which is ALWAYS FULL and no one likes to move to let us disabled sit down. i for one rely on the 387 to get directly into the hospital and i not being the only one thinks this is a disgrace. and all done without a public consultation!

It is important to the local community that Gedling Borough Council give the go ahead to the children’s soft play centre that I am trying to get up and running. Unfortunately they have rejected my planning application and as a result I am appealing this decision. The purpose of this petition is to identify to the council that there is a need for such a play centre in Calverton and by refusing the planning application the village would be denied yet another useful facility.

Because this area has very many trees and has a large biodiversity and is very important to the environment and peoples mental wellbeing when they visit it . This area is an amenity and we believe that they are under threat of upcoming development , under Government guidelines they should be given preservation orders in such circumstances.

Shark populations around the world are in rapid decline. Sharks grow relatively slowly, take many years to mature and produce relatively few young. These characteristics make sharks, like this porbeagle, particularly vulnerable to over-exploitation. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the large and growing demand for shark fins and the general lack of management of shark fishing. Populations simply cannot replenish at the same rate as they are caught and finned to meet market demand. Banning the sale of shark fins and shark fin soup in the UK will be one step in the right direction to protecting all species of shark around the globe. It is cruel to leave sharks to die in the ocean with all of their fins removed from their bodies. Help put an end to the endangerment and cruelty to sharks and make the UK a better place.

There is an almost daily occurrence of speeding vehicle near misses with young children on Eden Lane. Sadly, we believe it is just a matter of time before a Child suffers a serious injury or worse at Eden Lane. Installing traffic calming measures on Eden Lane will hopefully prevent any future serious injury or death due to speeding.

Opening hours at Sandy Lane have already been reduced but the closure of Sandy Lane will mean residents of South Warrington are faced with journeys across the town, to recycle their rubbish. This only contributes to Warrington's traffic congestion, something we wish to reduce. Please sign this petition to urge the Council to keep Sandy Lane open - or provide alternative recycling facilities in South Warrington

Warwick house day centre in seaford East Sussex is under consultation for closure which was found out by carers for the clients who mainly suffer with dementia and disability and over 65 years of age. This was three weeks ago but a further document has been tracked back to October 2017 confirming it will close to save £59000. It is proven that without this service these clients will be isolated vulnerable and at risk, in addition many cannot cater for themselves so likely to cost escc increased costs for lunch and tea visits circa £1000 per week so no annual saving My mother attends she is 88 and this centre is a lifeline to her enabling her to remain at home with care in morning and evening and Monday to Friday she attends the centre is able to socialize exercise and be stimulated and receive lunch and tea of which she contributes greatly to her care financially. Remove this service she and her friends will be isolated at risk to Day to day tasks and her dementia condition will rapidly deteriorate. Most of this community have paid their due to this country for over 60 years and they need to be cared for in their final years, my mum has family around her but some of these clients have nobody, please stop this closure it is shortsighted and just escc balancing the books and saving the accountants jobs, my mum will really suffer if this centre closes please support
