Request to change speed limit on B6097 Wath road to 30MPHThere have been numerous incidents over the years on this stretch of road and something needs to be done about it now. There are residential areas on this stretch of road, Pit Row and Tinglebridge. It is very precarious on that road currently to put it mildly because of all the blind corners. We propose that 30mph speed limit be put in place from elsecar side before Pit row, round to past junction with Tinglebridge & Tinglebridge Lane.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lesley Cooper

Ask David Mundell to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency BillWe are facing an unprecedented climate crisis crisis and the UK government simply isn’t doing enough. The Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill 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, David Mundell "generally voted against measures to prevent climate change". It is vital that local environmental groups and concerned citizens have the opportunity to convey to David Mundell the severity of the crisis we are facing and to demand his representation in parliament. Encouraging him to support the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill would be a great start!41 of 100 SignaturesCreated by XR D&G

Save the Thornliebank TSBOn 30th September TSB announced its intention to close 164 branches across the UK, with 73 of these based in Scotland and more than 900 jobs being lost in the process. The branch here in Thornliebank is one of those that has been lined up for closure. This is the latest in a long line of bank closures which have affected East Renfrewshire, making it increasingly difficult for residents to access face-to-face banking services. TSB mention the move to digital banking as a reason for the closure of branches but for many people face-to-face banking services in the local community are absolutely indispensable. This is especially true for older residents and those with disabilities. Alongside this it is vital that our high streets are supported as part of a COVID recovery. This bank closure will leave a building vacant and pull support away from local community businesses. We should also be supporting local jobs like those which will be lost by the closure of the branch. Banks should be aiming to become more embedded in communities, rather than ending local services.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Kerr

Knock down and replace public toilets outside Turnpike Lane StationOutside Turnpike Lane Station in Haringey N8 0DU, there are absolutely appalling public toilets. We are two sixteen year olds who have been living in haringey our whole lives, we live just around the corner from these toilets and they have been completely unusable for years despite multiple promises of improvement. It's not uncommon to see people urinating publicly outside the toilets and they are also highly unsafe especially for women and girls like ourselves. They are also inaccessible for people with disabilities. Crimes relating to drug use and theft have been recorded there. They are, quite frankly, disgusting and need to be replaced with toilets inside the station that are safer and more hygienic. The need for more safe public toilets in London is a very real and significant issue that everyone in our area and the rest of London faces and Turnpike Lane should set an example for what accessible, hygienic public toilets should look like. This is an issue that's been voiced and ignored for years and at this point there needs to be real change. Removing these appalling toilets will greatly improve the appearance and environment of the area and replacing them with toilets that are actually usable will have a major positive impact on the local community and people using the tube station and buses like us and our peers.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eleanor Neilson

PLEASE SIGN - SAY NO TO CLOSURE OF TSB BRANCH GLYNNEATHI see on your website that you are closing our local branch Glynnneath in Feb next year. It also says that the next available bank is in Swansea 16.4miles away ......... or Measteg 9.6miles away. If you are working on these calculations, THEY ARE WRONG. IT STATES ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT OUR BRANCH IS IN NEATH AGAIN, WRONG!!! IT IS IN GLYNNEATH - over 10miles further up The Valley than NEATH. Swansea is 21miles away or 3hr round trip by bus Maesteg is 24.1 miles or a 5hr 30mins round trip by bus !! This is without waiting around for a bus to arrive. The population of our village/small town is nearly 4,300. It has a very large quota of elderly people. They do not have the ability to travel even the shortest of those choices. Most do not possess the ability to use your online facilities. They find this action of closure totally dicscriminatory against the elderly and those with mobility issues. An absolute betrayal of their loyalty to you over many years. Many do not have children living near to be able to help. This bank has been the mainstay of this village. You are the only bank of any kind left with 11miles of our village. I therefore urge you please reconsider this action. I understand that financial decisions have to be made, but, there are also moral issues here. The people of Glynneath have supported your bank for decades and feel totally abandoned at this decision. Hopefully now, you are more aware of the huge impact your decision will have on our community. Please would you reconsider your decision.465 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Clare Beynon

Stop the Cumbria Coal Mine!***New coal mines = climate crisis*** This mine will create 9 million tonnes of CO2 every year through coal burned in UK and European steelworks.That's three times what all the people of Cumbria produce every year [1]. It's 2% of the UK's carbon footprint, which makes it a decision of national importance. Top economists and energy experts agree that this mine cannot be 'carbon neutral' as Cumbria County Council claim, instead it will worsen the climate crisis. [2] ***Breaking the law*** The Heathrow judgement showed that the Paris Agreement [3] must be taken into account in decisions about new high-carbon projects, which is why Robert Jenrick must step in. The UK will host the UN climate summit COP26 in 2021, so starting a mega-polluting coal mine would undermine these vital talks ***No more coal for steel*** The UK's two steelworks are the biggest single-site emitters in the country[4] because of their current reliance on coal, but you can make steel without coal. The mine will lock the steel industry in the UK and Europe into using coal for decades to come, instead of switching to viable alternatives, when instead a transition to clean steel could begin right now.[5] ***The impacts on Cumbria*** The impacts of climate change fall first and hardest on communities in the global south, who are already being impacted. But Cumbria itself is also vulnerable to increasing sea level rise and flooding, which are predicted to get more severe if we don't keep global temperatures under 1.5 degrees [6]. The economic impact of the jobs the mine would provide would be far outweighed by climate impacts on the local economy. [7] As Communities Secretary, it's Robert Jenrick's job to refuse permission to projects that are harmful to communities and that conflict with the UK's international commitments on climate change. It's his job to promote alternatives that would be better for communities. We need a Green Recovery that invests in our futures, instead of being forced to rely on polluting projects for jobs.

Make the Harrogate Stray more bee-friendlySince the 1930s, our traditional wildflower meadows have declined due to human practices - we now have a responsibility to regenerate land wherever we can; from adding natural verges, and wildflower areas to tree planting and halting the use of pesticides. If managed sensitively, the Stray can add to a local diverse and ecologically complex environment to help reverse the decline of insects, including essential pollinators.674 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Corlett

Keep Shropshire's solid fuel heatingThis is important for these reasons 1- the quantum heating is too expensive to use. 2- the power goes out several times a year often for long periods 3- parts of the county have no gass connection i myself live in one of these areas leaving us with no source of secondary heating, which south Shropshire housing association said over a year ago was a requirement and that is why they were fitting all there houses with quantome heating and solid fuel burners in the first place.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fiona Stephens

Allowing DJ's to Stream live on Social Media platformsMusic is good for the Soul and for Mental health, producing feel good chemicals that maintain a positive mental attitude. Facebook should allow live streaming of DJ's regardless of copyright because no-one is gaining anything financially by just doing what they love to friends, family and new connections . In this years current pandemic DJ"s have been bringing people together in these troubled times, allowing them to come together in their own homes, whilst social distancing I may add! If people can not listen to a DJ in a live stream session then their mental health suffers along with feelings of loneliness and depression. Facebook needs to allow such DJ's to play without suspending their accounts. Bringing people together in a Rubbish year is not a bad thing. Shame on Facebook for being inconsiderate of people's mental wellbeing. Please sign this petition and show your support for all those small DJs who are just doing what they love with the people who are struggling in this pandemic. Music is a gift to be shared and this should be allowed especially at a time like this!!!!!9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Polly Simpson

Mortgage help for the unemployed.I saved for years to get a deposit for a house and had very little social life because of that, but that isn't the issue, I bought a house with my wife and had a beautiful talented daughter. I find myself unemployed through no fault of my own but my mortgage payments are not covered by universal credit, my monthly income is less than £300 a month after housing costs. But if I was renting I could get £172 a week more. is that fair? I have cashed in my pension to cover our living costs , but it has run out. Covid 19 has destroyed my chance of a new job for the time being. I am 59 years old and have worked since I was 17. Please support my petition. I hope to be working soon, but many people will not be able too , protect their homes.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lawrence Brown

Retain Current Uniform at Stafford & Roselands FederationWe are currently the only school in Eastbourne with purple, it is popular with the families. The children voted for it only two years ago and it forms part of their sense of school identity. Many families have a stock of purple uniform that they hand down to younger siblings, all of which would be wasted if a new uniform is introduced, a poor example to the next generation in environmental terms. Providing parents with one jumper, one PE shirt and a bag still involves considerable outlay for parents at a time when finances are difficult for many. We believe the proposed changes to be utterly without good reason and the money spent on subsidising new items could be better spent on educational items.270 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Megan Stanfield
