• Stop charging more to those less able to pay
    Paying annually financially rewards those that are capable of paying road tax as an annual lump sum. There is no doubt a large number of people who can't afford to pay the annual fee upfront; so opt for the 6 month option. Why are these people, who are financially less able, penalised into paying a larger total annual sum? Changing this practice, of charging more to those who can least afford it, needs to STOP! This systemic bias which financially penalises the poorer in society needs to be abolished. The systems and decisions that continue to widen financial inequalities need to be rooted out in all industries and organisations. This type of financial penalisation of the poorer members of our society is rife practice in many companies. The government should lead by example and put an end to this practice!

  • Elbit out of Oldham!
    We believe Elbit Systems, an Israeli arms manufacturer based in Oldham, should be closed down and urgently call for its production to move to environmental and renewable manufacturing instead of weapons Elbit Systems Ltd is the sole owner of Ferranti Technologies based in Cairo House in Waterhead. Elbit is a major supplier to the Israeli defence Forces and makes a range of weapons systems developed through “extensive real world combat experience” in conflicts with Palestinians, others in the Middle East and around the world. In Gaza over 2200 Palestinians were killed in 51 days of Israel’s bombing in 2014 including over 500 children. Palestinians in Gaza have protested against inhumane living conditions created by a decade long Israeli blockade. Israel has responded violently to unarmed demonstrators by shooting dead at least 250 and injuring 18,000. Israel is one of the world’s largest arms exporters and India is its largest buyer. Troops in occupied Kashmir are likely to be using Israeli made arms against a besieged population, who have for years experienced human rights violations.

  • Restore Carers Allowance to Pensioners
    As soon as one starts to get a State Pension you lose any Carers Allowance (already at a ridiculously low rate!). Carers provide an enormous saving to the Government and at the very time of greatest need they are penalised unfairly.

  • Revoke the BBC's new political impartiality rules
    The BBC, nor any organisation, cannot and should not dictate what legal activities their employees engage in outside of work, as they have a right to respect for private and family life as set out in Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998. Furthermore, supporting equality and demanding fundamental human rights for disadvantaged and minority groups across the race and gender spectrums, amongst others, is not a political partial act, as the Human Rights Act 1998 and Equality Act 2010 clearly set out the obligations of the government and society they represent; merely asking for these obligations to be met is not a political action and Tim Davie and the BBC should acknowledge this, or be guilty of the very partiality they claim to be trying to avoid.

  • Underground cables instead of giant pylons
    The proposed route runs along the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, an area of stunning scenic beauty beloved by locals and tourists alike and home to a treasure of wildlife, many endangered, such as eagles, Cuckoos, wood warblers, song thrushes, grey wagtails, tawny owls and red squirrels. For around an extra £95 million it’s possible to bury the cables along the existing power line route and protect a precious irreplaceable landscape. This is Galloway’s pride and joy and four years at least of construction will also severely disrupt tourism, a main source of economic revenue valuable to our communities, as well as causing great distress to local communities. At a time when our ecosystems are under enormous stress. this fragile ecosystem needs to be protected. There is also still time to lodge an objection to the SPEN proposal. Closing date NOVEMBER 13th.

    Sky and BT sports already charge customers to watch premier league football. Why especially at this time are they allowed to charge £14.99 per game on top of an annual subscription

  • Extend East Finchley Controlled Parking Zone to include Chandos Road N2
    The introduction of new cycle lanes on the High Road has removed significant parking capacity forcing many more cars to park on Chandos Road. This has left residents often unable to park on the road with no other options near by. It has also impacted the businesses at the end of the road.

  • Sarah Green, MP for Chesham & Amersham, PLEASE SUPPORT THE CLIMATE & ECOLOGICAL EMERGENCY BILL
    "We are at a unique stage in our history. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us" David Attenborough We are facing an unprecedented climate crisis and the UK government simply isn’t doing enough. We know that we are in an emergency, the next 10 years are critical to keeping global temperatures at a safe level, and we want the government to take immediate and urgent action. The CEE Bill has started on its path through parliament and was due to return for its second reading in March this year. It can help us change our course—making the government act with the urgency we need and involving everyday people in a Citizens’ Assembly that has real bite. If the CEE Bill is made law, the government would have to act fast, accounting for our entire carbon footprint while actively conserving nature here and overseas. The bill could set a precedent that can be replicated across the world. According to They Work for You, a website that documents MP voting records, our late local MP Cheryl Gillan “generally voted against measures to prevent climate change”. Please help to ensure that are new MP supports the CEE Bill. It is vital that local environmental groups and concerned citizens have the opportunity to convey to them the severity of the crisis we are facing so they can represent us in parliament. Encouraging them to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill would be a great start! Signing this petition will let our new MP know how concerned you, their constituents, are. We need the support of as many MPs as possible so that this bill can move forward - politicians need to step up. Sign this petition to call on our MP to back the CEE Bill! If you are not in Chesham & Amersham constituency, why not set up your own petition. For more information regarding the CEE bill, including the full wording of the bill, head over to https://www.ceebill.uk/ JOIN THE CEE BILL CAMPAIGN To join the campaign, go to the CEE Bill Alliance website for the sign up form and to find out more: https://www.ceebill.uk/campaign Sign this petition to ask the future MP for Chesham & Amersham constituency to support the CEE Bill

  • Include a fully inclusive section in the planned London Resort
    There is nothing in the country that caters and it would fill a serious need of inclusivity. It would also increase the range of people that would visit. A good percent of the population in the UK alone has disabilities and something like this would be utilized fully. This would also help families who have children with special needs have quality time together.
