Stop the Burmester Road mobile mastHave you noticed the new metal cabinets at the end of Burmester Road? They are part of Vodafone's plan to build a 15 metre mobile phone mast on the corner with Garratt Lane. You may have heard about this before. The original plan for the Burmester Mast was opposed by numerous local residents and rejected by Wandsworth Council in December 2016. Vodafone have always been well aware of this. Thanks to a legal loophole, Vodafone consider they can build the Burmester Mast anyway, within metres of Burmester House, despite the objections of local residents. Indeed, they sent the diggers in at the end of August to start work by building the cabinets. Mobile phone companies such as Vodafone should listen to local residents. There are acres of industrial use land on the far side of Garratt Lane where the mast could be situated, which would still give us better 4G coverage. Wandsworth Council are trying to find alternative sites, but Vodafone consider that legally they could still build the Burmester Mast. If we unite, we can stop this. If you want your voice to be heard, please sign this petition calling on Vodafone to relocate the Burmester Mast. It will only take 30 seconds.....165 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Local Residents

Return Wakefield City Academy Trusts schools to their local LAsThere is no evidence that becoming an Academy improves the outcomes of our children & young people. Schools that have transferred from the democratic control of the Local Authority can find themselves in a far worse position. Wakefield City Academies Trust (WCAT) has said recently, it was unable to "facilitate the rapid improvement our academies need, and our students deserve". The Department for Education (DfE) said many of the schools within the trust were performing below the national average. We demand that: The Department of Education allows Local Authorities to take back democratic control of the academies in their area, that used to be part of the Wakefield City Academy Trust. That the Treasury compensates schools who are in deficit, or are financially worse off due to the financial mismanagement of WCAT, and provides Local Authorities the finances to complete the transfer and provide continuing support for these academies. Our children’s education should not be used as a political football and we want democratic accountability to be returned to our communities."1,298 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Sally Kincaid

Against the abuse by MPs on Private Members BillsBoth Peter Bone MP and Christopher Chope MP took turns in camping out in the House of Commons to ensure that they were first in the queue to present their Bills. Between them they submitted 73 Bills proposing the introduction of new laws. Their actions have prevented other MP's from presenting their Bills that would have had any chance of being debated up until November 2018. This important because this has stopped and MP from presenting their ideas for new Laws. Because of their behaviour your MP has been prevented from representing your interests .433 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Phil Berry

Make School Uniforms Affordable for AllMany families across the UK are already struggling financially. Just this week, many pupils were turned away from various Local Comprehensive Schools due to not wearing the updated and inflated priced trousers/skirts available only at exclusive school wear shops (this is also in breach of the 'Competion act'). Children are being excluded and left feeling humiliated and oustricised because they're from poorer or struggling families who are getting further into debt trying to purchase these ever changing requirements. This not only deeply affects a families finances, but also adds to stress within the family home, creating knock on effects. Schools were once about education, not business and profit making. A smart uniform displaying one logo on the blazer/jumper was enough and didn't affect a childs education - PE kits were also once plain and simple - Legislation states that Uniform should be affordable for all. We are asking you to join us in this cause and help make it illegal for schools to force these unnecessary changes, and keep the cost of uniform affordable for all. A plain smart uniform is adequate enough.271 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Grant

Stop Furness Park Closures.The council announced plans at the start of September to close 5 local parks in an attempt to save £13,247. These park closures are at the expense of our whole community. It is difficult enough for children to find safe areas to play without removing the places built for that exact purpose. It is so important that we don't let the council destroy our local play areas, depriving children of the chance to socialise and mingle with others; to let off some steam, to keep fit and active. Please sign this petition to show support for keeping the Furness area's public parks open! (Information sources from Reece Hanson's article in Wednesday the 6th of September's issue of The Evening Mail).861 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Jamie-Leigh Currie

Make Boness Road Safe for our community1. On completion of the new Queensferry Crossing this road became a main thoroughfare into and out of South Queensferry 2. Both Transport Scotland and Edinburgh Council have failed to recognise this and failed to put measures in place to ensure road safety for the community. 3. It has Echline Primary School on it. Children cross the road to get to and from school and also cross after school for clubs and recreation. Echline has an open playground policy so children also cross at evenings and weekends to play, visit friends in the adjacent housing estates and to use Echline playpark. 4. The road currently has a 30mph limit, except for a small 20mph zone outside the school, which operates only at drop off and pick up times. Edinburgh Council chose not to implement the new 20mph safe zone along this road and will not review their decision until some time in 2018. 5. The road is wide with inadequate speed limit signage 6. The road will see increased volumes of traffic 7. Large vehicles will use the road; coach tours, double decker buses and lorries 8. Vehicles will have been travelling at speed on the motorway system prior to entering this residential area495 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Steve Martin

Protect the existing Green Belt within Dudley Metropolitan Borough1) To protect Green Belt Countryside, on the urban fringe, and Green Wedges that form wildlife and open space corridors into the urban areas. 2) To protect a valuable recreational resource that Dudley Council have hitherto promoted for public pleasure; its landscape, historic, nature conservation and cultural values. 3) To protect the individuality and distinctive character of the areas and communities 4) To further the strategy of urban regeneration by focussing attention upon renewal of derelict and previously developed brownfield sites. 5) Dudley Borough has sufficient land within the urban area to satisfy its housing and industrial requirements to the year 2036 and beyond. 6) The Green Wedges satisfy the function of preventing the coalescence of former Towns within the Borough. 7) Exceptional circumstances do not exist to warrant the release of Green Belt land for built development. 8) The inappropriate release of Green Belt land would damage the confidence of the public in respect of the designation of Green Belt.4,320 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Mick Freer
