Speeding Vehicles on Thornhill RoadMany residents in Streetly cross Thornhill Road to access Sutton Park for walks and bike rides. This can be particularly hazardous due to vehicles travelling well in excess of the 30mph speed limit. We would like the Council and Police to take action against these drivers and create crossings to allow access to the park in a safe manner.480 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Geoff Mason

End the exploitation of Sports Direct staffAn undercover investigation has found evidence that Sports Direct could be illegally paying their staff below the minimum wage. The reporter recorded how warehouse staff were unable to leave the building during their 30-minute unpaid breaks – a practice some employment law experts say should count as paid working time and, if correct, would push Shirebrook’s effective hourly wage rates below the legal minimum of £8.72 to about £8.20. Since the start of lockdown, warehouse staff have been working around the clock to keep us well stocked. While they supply us with everything we need to be comfortable at home, many of them are working just below minimum wage - unable to even leave hot and stuffy warehouses for a bit of fresh air. These workers deserve better. And it's up to us to demand better for them.51,631 of 75,000 Signatures

Ban plastic tapePlastic tapes are not recyclable and we are killing the planet by using them when sending parcels , painting, wrapping gifts etc. Scotch tape, painters tape ,masking tape and duct tape are not recyclable, they are made of layers of waterproof material. These should be replaced with paper tape. Amazon in the UK is using paper tape for all parcels so should all other companies and citizens use paper tape.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ana Claudia

Change the list of where masks are required to include museumsThe UK Government's list of places where masks are NOT required to be worn includes museums. I think this is wrong and I am looking to persuade the Goverment to change this rule. Museums vary in size and space, and a blanket rule where visitors are not required to wear masks doesn't protect staff and volunteers in these venues. There are more than 50 attractions in the UK that are underground. They are perfectly able to reopen under the current social distancing guidelines, but both staff and visitors are at risk where visitors are not required to wear masks. All the medical advice suggests that masks do not protect the wearer. They are worn to protect others when the wearer might be infectious. Protect museum staff. Covid 19 has not yet gone away. If museum staff have to wear personal protective equipment to protect visitors, make it compulsory for visitors to wear masks in return.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Fiona Hyde

Make it law that all vets are trained in exotic animalsDo you have a guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, lizard etc? Did you know, these are all classed as exotic animals and the only vets that have any knowledge about them, are exotic vets. Unfortunately, due to recent experience, its so hard to get hold of an exotic vet in an emergency and unfortunately, recently, I lost my guinea pig as a normal vet was baffled. I recently seen 2 vets and they pretty much suggested euthanasia because they didn't know what to do. One even admitted that. Small animals are being put to sleep because of this and it could be something that is minor to an exotic vet, and it could save many animals lives. So please, sign the petition and share with your friends and family and get this changed. Let's save more small animals lives.56 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deb Briggs

Boris Johnson Wants to Put Himself Above the Law. Help Stop HimBoris Johnson is forming his own panel that will work to curb the influence of judicial reviews. We have to stop him. Judicial reviews are an important feature of our democracy that ensure our leaders are following the rule of law. They have recently been used to stop Johnson from shutting down parliament during the Brexit debates, which was ruled unlawful. THE JUDICIARY STOPS POLITICIANS FROM BREAKING THE LAW. IT MUST BE SAVED. Judicial reviews have been used to hold this government to account once, which is why they want to destroy them. Sign this petition to stop Johnson and his cronies putting themselves above the law.320 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Povey

Reduce speed limit in Langridge, Tadwick and Upper Swainswick to 20mphThe speed limit on Langridge Lane and Tadwick Lane is currently 60mph despite the lanes being wholly unsuitable for speeds anywhere near this limit. Unfortunately, some motorists believe that it is safe to drive at speeds approaching the limit which has resulted in a number of crashes in recent years. The lanes are becoming increasingly popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and local residents fear it is only a matter of time until there is a serious incident involving a vehicle and one of these vulnerable road users. To compound this issue, the lanes are increasingly used as a rat-run for vehicles trying to bypass the main routes into Bath, and it is these motorists who tend to drive at dangerous speeds. Reducing the speed limit to 20mph will reduce the likelihood and severity of any incident; if a vehicle strikes a pedestrian at 40mph there is a 90% chance they will be killed, at 20mph this is reduced to 2.5% (www.roadwise.co.uk). The Highways Officer at BATHNES Council has been approached and his stance is nothing will be done to reduce the speed limit unless there is a serious incident (i.e fatality). Please sign up to this petition so that Langridge Lane and Tadwick Lane can be used safely by all road users. The more people who sign up, the more chance those who can implement change will listen.154 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Laura Somodi

UK attractions: Stop your unfair charges for single parent families!Coronavirus has had a disproportionate impact on single parent families. But with lockdown lifting and with the summer holidays just around the corner, parents will be looking to local attractions to keep their kids busy. Right now, UK attractions unfairly discriminate against single parents in their ticket prices. We are calling on Flamingo Land, Drayton Manor and Harry Potter World attractions to stop this immediately and implement a better and fairer pricing system for those with one parent or carer households.1,322 of 2,000 Signatures

Stop making NHS workers pay car park charges at their place of workHospital car park charges are not cheap and they impact everyone forced to go to their local hospital. It is bad enough visitors and outpatients have to pay to make an unavoidable visit to a hospital. It is unacceptable to make NHS employees pay these inflated charges as they arrive at work. They take a significant amount of money from NHS workers pay packets.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ken Creswick
