Clacton, Walton and Jaywick are popular holiday destinations, the area is trying to attract more holidaymakers, how can we expect them to come to the beaches if there are no toilets to use? This is especially important for people with young children, the elderly and the disabled. Tendring also has a large population of elderly and vulnerable people, who may have a problem with incontinence or mobility, they should be able to have easy access to toilets when they need them. Not being able to reach a toilet in time results in loss of dignity and distress, whatever your age, the closure of toilets that are vital for residents and holidaymakers is not acceptable.

Reading Borough Council are threatening to knock down the Central Mural and sell the building to commercial developers. The Mural is an important both as a piece of Art and as a memorial to the lives of people significant in African, Afro-American, Caribbean and black British History. It reminds us (accurately) that some pharaohs were black. (If it is ever extended in size it could now usefully add a major Russian Novelist and an American President!). It would be a huge loss to us if we lose it and an insult to the many Reading Residents from Barbados, Jamaica, East and West Africa and elsewhere. Personally I am scots of Irish and English descent and I love that mural

Brighton & Hove is a coastal city, meaning it must be on the frontline when it comes to tackling plastic pollution in our oceans. As 80% of marine litter originates from land, Brighton & Hove must do everything possible to stop this pollution at source. In 2016, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimated that by weight, there could be more plastic in our oceans than fish, as soon as 2050. Plastics are durable, strong and long-lasting – all positive elements until you realise that they will stay in our environment for up to an estimated 600 years. (Columbia University) Over 300 million tons of new plastic are made every year – half of which is for single use plastic, such as packaging and convenience foods. In many cases, such as plastic straws, takeaway food containers and coffee cups, there are practical alternatives available that are either reusable or sustainable. It is estimated that there are over 5.5 trillion pieces of plastic currently in our global ocean and over 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into our seas each year. This equates to one refuse truck FULL of plastic every minute. Marine plastic leads to coastal / offshore dead zones, entanglement, death through ingestion, toxic transfer and, once degraded into microplastics, contamination of the food chain – including our own. We are quite literally eating the plastic that has ended up in our seas. Sign this petition so we can persuade the council to act on the issue of single-use plastic waste.

The rights of millions of Trans and Non-Binary people is at stake! Our Government is exploiting us into 'outing' ourselves to obtaining birth certification! We need this reformation of the Gender Recognition Act, in order for the birth of future Trans and Non-Binary people to obtain certification no matter where on life's journey they are. It will change the way society accepts us as members of society = no questions asked It will generate employment and better immigration rights It will make government run things quicker than today. My case story My name is Alexandria Aileen Adamson, I am an autistic woman. There was complications earlier on in life. My grandparents raised me a girl, but then at 10 he (the biological father) threatened to murder me, and from then on I was forced to pretend for him for 15 years until my mum had enough of his abuse. Mum moved me with her away from the abuse, From then on I was a free women with severe medical complications, that resulted in intense physical therapy and now awaiting surgery that wasn't my fault. From the Tories NHS cuts I am on an incredibly long waiting list and having problems with losing weight to reduce the BMI, as well as obtain birth certification under Tory rule. however there has been cuts on dietitions on the NHS, that's becoming more hard to lose weight! The Gender Identity Clinic under the NHS are to supply evidence on cases of "gender dysphoria", which in the of cases, patients do not feel it should be relevent to obain a birth certificate. I have suffered seven suicide attempts and severe mental health problems due to the Tories ignorance and austerity. I have been offered a place at East Tennessee State University to study Bluegrass Old-Time and Country music, because no birth certificate = no visa or green card. I started this petition on the evening of International Day of Peace, as it is a day for calling for ceasefire and putting an end to hate

Firefighters in Avon are raging at plans to dig up a memorial to fallen firefighters in Bristol City Centre and move it to a remote location near Portishead. The memorial statue of a firefighter gazing up at the sky is currently located next to Temple Back fire station in the city centre. Under the controversial new plans, the beloved memorial will be dug up and shifted to a new ‘Police and Fire’ headquarters site where hardly anyone will be able to see it. Fire Brigades Union rep for Avon, Gary Spindler, said: “The statue is an important memorial for remembering firefighters who have sacrificed their lives in the line of duty. It’s current location in the city centre keeps their memory in the public eye, where it should be. Every year on Firefighters’ Memorial Day (May 4th) firefighters and other fire and rescue service personnel congregate around the statue as part of this high profile event – this is when the value of its location is really appreciated and valued, by the public as well as firefighters. To move it out to a remote location in Portishead would deprive the public of this important memorial and frankly be an insult to our fallen colleagues. The planned new site is a high security location, which will make access even harder. We are demanding that these plans are reconsidered urgently, and that the statue remains at its proper home at Temple Back fire station.”

There are 7,000 people living in Covent Garden, many in social housing who are elderly or disabled who depend on their local supermarket for food. There are many more who work or study in the area and shop at Marks and Spencer regularly. This is a very busy food department. The nearby Tesco is also under threat. It is reported that the reason for closure is that the rent for the premises is too high to make a profit. Someone has got to compromise. We do not need yet another designer store. The community is being destroyed and Covent Garden is being turned into a playground for wealthy tourists. This petition is backed by the Covent Garden Community Association. www.coventgarden.org.uk

For the safety on the road of pupils aged 3 and up to get to school and back

Cranbrook is a vastly growing town with a huge population of children under 5. In fact we are in the top 5% of the country and to take away a service that has been offered for nearly 5 years at this thriving group is a huge blow. Our group is inclusive and caters to children of all ages up to preschool and so is much more suibale for parents who have children of various preschool age. This group supports families old and new and helps people forge friendships in what can sometime be an isolating time in new parents lives, especially if they are new to the area. Baby weigh and health services were a big lifeline to new parents as they could meet other new mums and dads and often their children will grow up with the group and stay with us until they start preschool. Now we have lost this vital service, we have lost a lot of babies coming to group which in turn may mean we will not have the toddler's coming along when the babies grow up. We are aware there is a Tuesday session available but by all accounts this day is not suitable for all and by taking away the Thursday session it will put more pressure on the Tuesday group with waiting times and maybe not being able to seek the advice needed from the health worker in attendance as so many people will want the same.

Britain drinks 165 million cups of tea a day. Council food waste composting schemes recommend composting teabags. The plastic layer within the bag will break down when composted and has the potential to enter the food chain and damage the environment. The 2007 paper 'Microplastic—An Emerging Contaminant of Potential Concern?' Dr M Browne, T Galloway, and R Thompson states "Organisms with a range of feeding strategies can ingest and accumulate microplastics." Section 41.6.8 of SOIL ASSOCIATION ORGANIC STANDARDS (AUGUST 2016) states: To minimise the direct and indirect environmental impacts of your packaging during its life cycle, you must: minimise the amount of material used, maximise the amount of material that can be reused or recycled, and use materials with recycled content where possible. Surely where teabags can be made using a string-and-tag system, this would mean that they should be in order to meet the requirements for organic certification?

There have been a number of major accidents including fatalities on Battersea Park - in particular outside Tesco metro where there are two bus stops and the road splits. It's only a matter of time before a local resident is hurt or killed by reckless drivers who speed, overtake, undertake on that stretch of road. Accidents in the last year alone include: - a serious motorcycle collision injuring two people - a motorcycle incident killing the rider - a car flipping over

Loosing consultants at Dorset County Hospital (DCH) would downgrade our hospital, DCH is desperately needed it provides a 24 hour service to many severely poorly children and many at risk expectant mothers, families will be torn apart due to travelling and there will be a massive amount of pressure on A&E plus GP's as many children will loose open access in which they can go straight to the ward bypassing A&E &GP'S Also this will see an increased demand on emergency services ambulance service's in particular, There's plenty of room to expand the kingfisher ward for extra beds !! #saveourNHS

The flats on the first, second and third floors of 347-349 Lee High Road (above BetFred and above the entrance marked 'Garage') have been empty for a long time, and the building is becoming derelict. The property was registered by Lewisham Council as an S215 (Town and Country Planning Act 1990) enforcement case in 2016 (ref. EC/16/00357), site inspections took place in December 2016 and May 2017, and letters were sent to the long-term owners, a company based in Jersey, giving a deadline date for repairs to be completed. However, no repairs have been done, and the situation is getting worse. Lewisham Council's Empty Homes department has also been involved in the case for several months, but has also been unable to make progress with the owners. The three upper floors are in very poor condition, with broken and permanently open windows and pigeons breeding in the rooms. Pigeons fly continuously in and out of the building, populating other parts of the Lee Green crossroads, in particular two other nearby neglected buildings. This is leading to serious health and nuisance issues involving the fouling of windows, facades and pavements. The permanently open windows in all weathers are also leading to interior deterioration, which is putting neighbouring properties on either side at risk. The building itself is part of a 19th century terrace of heritage value, which could provide much-needed, good quality housing. Many people who live and/or work in the area are concerned at this long-term worsening situation, and are desperate for something to be done.
