• Let Children Be Children and Allow Them to Play Out on their Street!!
    Children need to play outside! They need to be allowed to be children! In a day and age where computer games and a sedentary lifestyle are the norm, and obesity rates are rising, it is ridiculous for the RMG to try and implement this rule. On a 'family' estate, where lots of children live, it is completely unreasonable to ask that children don't play out together, and enjoy the area that they live in. These are good kids. They are not doing any harm, or being naughty or disrespectful. They are simply being children and having fun. Whilst children should be appropriately supervised and stick to rules and safety measures, they shouldn't be couped up like prisoners. The world is full of enough zombies who stare at screens all day and night and I used to love playing out on our road as a kid. Some of my happiest memories were made that way. If you agree with even a small part of this, please sign the petition before this country becomes even more ridiculous! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/25/three-quarters-of-uk-children-spend-less-time-outdoors-than-prison-inmates-survey

  • Dorset Against School Cuts (DASC)
    Dorset currently face cuts in real terms of £4.2 million by 2020, equivalent to the loss of 111 teachers. 129 of 162 Dorset schools are facing cuts by 2020. This will mean our children face the loss of talented teachers, dedicated teaching assistants, specialist support staff, enrichment activities and even adequate equipment in classes. Additionally, these cuts will mean our children face a narrower curriculum, delivered with growing class sizes, possibly without a qualified teacher in the room. Dorset is a diverse county with children coming from a range of rural and urban settings, with many backgrounds and abilities. All of these children deserve to have their needs met so that they can achieve all that they can. These cuts will deprive our children of a bright future which should be theirs.

  • SAY NO TO PARKING PRICE RISES IN SHREWSBURY
    These changes will destroy trade in our town centre. It is important that we encourage visitors to our Market Town, not force them in to retail parks. These changes will be detrimental to workers, residents, businesses and tourists alike. These prices compare to city centres. Support our 'one off's' and keep our unique market town busy!

  • Bridge street graffiti change
    Dark grey, dull and mundane images can change people's mood and sense of moral. Me, and I'm sure many others used to look at that bright colourful wall, with a sense of pride and happiness.

  • Rushmoor Borough Council Must Provide A Shelter For The Homeless In Aldershot
    Aldershot has never seen as many rough sleepers as it has in the last few years. For some years now a Winter shelter was provided by the council and this year apparently they cannot afford it! Street homeless people die in extreme weather . Doing nothing means the council believe it’s the problem of those who find themselves homeless, whereas truth be known it’s society’s problem. These individuals often have very complex issues- mental health and addictions etc, they are very vulnerable and need a lot of input. We cannot just cast people aside like rubbish because they don’t ‘fit’ in our community in our opinion.

  • Reduce risk for cyclists at Murdishaw A533 roundabout.
    I have personally been knocked off my bike on this roundabout. I feel lucky to be alive. The police could not find the person who did this and the council say they are not willing to put any control measures in place. (because the layout is due to change in 2 years) More recently a good friend got knocked off her bike at the same location. We have since found out several other cyclists have fell victim to hit and run drivers at this same spot. Soon enough a life will be taken. I feel my suggested control measures are easily done. Personally I would like cameras to be added and speed bumps however I want to be realistic. Halton try to promote cycling which is really good for our environment however I feel in this case they have not done enough to put some preventative measures in place.

  • FREE NATIONAL PARKING FOR HGV DRIVERS
    HGV drivers keep the whole of the UK moving. Parking charges of between £20-£40 per night is overpriced. Drivers are being forced to park in laybys and industrial estates at night. Services in countries across Europe offer free parking for HGV drivers. We need to take breaks and relax in places where we have toilet and shower facilities so that we can work to our maximum capabilities and be fully refreshed before spending 9 to 10 hours a day on the public roads. Drivers (who are being paid not much more than minimum wage in some cases) cannot afford to park in motorway services this is affecting their health and their rights to good working conditions. More and more companies are refusing to pay for this as soaring fuel costs force them into making cut backs. The motorway services are already over charging for other services with some not even including a free shower in their prices. It is time the minister for transport stepped in along with the RHA (road haulage association) to find a solution to the problem

  • Zebra crossing for st Marys school
    This is so important because since the new Mersey gateway bridge has been built we now have new road layout in the area which is making more traffic use this road. The road already has a 20mph speed limit on it but drivers do not take any notice. There have been many accidents and collisions in the past year on this road due to speeding. We would like a safe crossing and more enforcement on the speed limit before someone is knocked down and killed.

  • CELEBRATE DAVID ATTENBOROUGH ON THE NEW £20 BANKNOTE
    It’s no surprise that Sir David Attenborough came out top in this poll. With his tireless conservation work, he would act as a constant reminder to the public to make ‘ethical’ money choices every single day. 'It is, surely, our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth'. Good Money Week is the campaign to raise awareness of sustainable, responsible and ethical finance to help people make good money choices. Good Money Week aims to ensure that everyone knows they have sustainable and ethical options when it comes to their financial decisions. Good Money Week is taking place from the 8th-14th October 2017. Sustainable and ethical investment and finance allows you to have a positive impact on the environment and society without sacrificing financial performance.

  • Withdraw Waitrose/Duchy land from the pointless and cruel Badger Cull
    There is NO evidence that culling badgers makes any meaningful contribution to reducing the levels of bovine TB in cattle. The Randomised Badger Culling Trial, an 8-year, £50 million study during which 11,000 badgers were killed, produced no evidence of benefit. It found that only 1.67% of those 11,000 badgers had communicable bovine TB. The real culprits are not badgers but an outdated and inaccurate testing regime (missing 20-50% of all cases in cattle), poor biosecurity on farms, and millions of movements of cattle around the country. This year, DEFRA wants to see 33,000 badgers killed and Waitrose/Duchy have agreed to culling on their land in the west country. Two-thirds of the public are against badger culling and, as customers of Waitrose and John Lewis PLC, we call on the company to respect the science and to honour the views and feelings of their customers.

  • Keep George St, HOVE traffic free until 6pm in the summer months
    Brighton and Hove City Council have voted on a trial period of opening up the road to traffic at 4pm from April 2018 for a seven month period. We point out to the council that even one child knocked over by a car whilst walking along this currently pedestrianised street is one child too many. A public consultation took place in 2015 on this same issue and the Council decided not to change the traffic-free times as 'A number of road safety issues were identified' and '85% of the public who responded to the consultation did NOT want any change to the times'. We, the undersigned believe that the safety and health of the many city residents who shop in George St should be of utmost importance and that the current pedestrianisation of George Street in the summer months up to 6pm should be upheld.
