Speed Humps and Working Speed CamerasThis is a family built up area. With a school situated along the road. Lots of local shops children and elderly live along here. Home owners are to scared to park outside their homes and are forced to park on the local pub situated down the road. I myself have a young baby and this is unfair I have to lug all the bags and carry my child down the street because of careless people17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sammi Allan

Langport Hanging Chapel Medieval GatewayThe Hanging Chapel is iconic to Langport and has belonged to the town in one way or another for centuries. It is deemed to be of national importance and scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act of 1979. At a meeting of Langport Town Trust in June, the Town Council as sole trustee, voted in secret to offer the present tenant the opportunity to buy the Chapel. Local residents are outraged and want to be consulted on the future of their much loved local 'treasure'. Many local people are flabbergasted by the decision not least because of the secrecy surrounding it. As the only councillor present at the meeting to oppose the sale, I have been reported for breach of Code of Conduct in revealing something I consider to be in the public interest. Attempts made to force the Council to revisit the motion (which is not not going to be made public until after negotiations are completed!) have failed. The 'Friends of the Hanging Chapel' are determined to secure the building for Langport's future generations and will leave no stone unturned. They thought it was safe in Langport's Town Trust. Please support our efforts.1,358 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Val Saunders

The Buxton Water ScandalI have visited the Town Hall in Buxton, on various occasions, requesting a contact number for whoever is responsible for turning off the Lion's Mouth Spring at the bottom of the slopes. This has been happening regularly and for long periods of time. The Town Hall have been extremely evasive and dismissive and I have visited Buxton Advertiser on three occasions, asking them to look into it, should they be so kind, which they have been and have followed it up. My last visit to the Advertiser was today and I was told that they had received an email explaining what was going on. In short, the email stated that they were trying to work out the best way of reconnecting the supply from the pump house to the lion's mouth. Hmm, that seems to be in contrast with what I was told by multiple members of the office staff involved with renovating the Crescent. They informed me, and were quite adamant about it, that the supply pipe at Nestle was connected directly to the lion's mouth outlet, and they knew this, becasuse the first time that the spring stopped, they thought somebody on site was responsible, but discovered that this was not possible, due to the above and they also informed me that they have no input, nor are they doing any work on the pump house at all, because they contracted a separate company in to do that. I will detail the reasons in more depth, should the need to arise, but for now, it ought to suffice to say that the spring has now been turned off for eight days. I have left a flyer taped to the statue, stating that there will be a meeting there at ten o'clock in the morning, this Sunday, 13th August, to sign a petition and to discuss the issue. On Monday morning of the 14th August, we will be meeting again, to present the petition to the Town Hall. I intend to send other petitions, with more signatures, through online methods and I aim to start a 'Ban Nestle Products' movement in Buxrton and a march to Nestle, to explain our demands, which are "Leave our fresh water spring alone".... erm, that's it, really. All this takes time and energy and I don't want much of yours, but if you support the historical use of Buxton water, from a public spring, for free, just 'like' this post. I will use the likes as support for the petition. It is important, because people depend upon this water as it is healthy water and not detrimental to the health in any way, as tap water is. It is important, because Nestle and Buxton Town Hall seem to be hiding something and being elusive about the matter, so one can't help feeling that some form of underhand practices have been exercised. Thank you, for your time, and if you would like to sign the petition and hopefully meet some rather nice individuals, that would be fantastic.12,245 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Gaz Butcher

Improved holiday provisions for all special needs children in Telford and WrekinTo support families with complex children during school holidays giving routines, consistency and respite. Having a provision like this would improve mental health and wellbeing of everyone involved. Parents are exhausted and children have no where to go that is suitable for their needs. Even if they do have access to the small amount of trips and playscheme available it is small and not consistent throughout the entire school closures. Parents who are employed are unable to go to go to work as there is no permenant or regular provision suitable for their child. We are not able to send our children to just any holiday club or child minder... They are extremely vulnerable persons and have to have all of their needs met and understood. Our son is 5 and a half years old. He was placed at The Bridge Assessment Nursery for almost 2 yrs so was able to access a holiday playscheme for a couple of hours twice per week for 4 weeks. We were grateful for this little bit of respite at the time even as small as it was, but as our son has now moved to another special school there is no permenant holiday provision at all. Not having respite for a family with a special needs child is so difficult. Our children need routine and consistency and don't understand why school closes for 6weeks+, this accentuates all of their difficulties.201 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Lucy Trower

BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL 47 BUS ROUTEBecause it allows transport to and from rural areas into the city center for those who perhaps have no other means of transport. This is an important issue due to the fact that many school children who lived slightly out of catchment areas used this bus service to travel to and from school; now these children are forced to be up earlier to walk to a place where they can catch one of the school provided bus services. People of an older generation who are unable to drive were able to use the old 47 service to travel to other villages or into the city, whereas now they have no other way of doing so without in some cases needing to pay taxi fares or relying on friends or relatives who drive. In particular I find it rather disgusting that the Nottingham City Transport did not advertise the cuts to the 47 services enough - because my daughter who at the time was just 15 years old, got on the 47 bus from Lambley to go to a friends in Calverton was told to get off of the bus in Woodborough because this was where the route terminated now. My daughter was left stranded and was forced to get a taxi instead. Overall this is an important matter because the points previously made.114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Selby

Diana Princess of Wales HospitalAlready the stroke services, and now the urology department from Diana Princess of Wales Hospital is being moved to Scunthorpe General Hospital. But for those of us that rely on our local hospital it's much too far to travel. Many of us who don't drive are left out on a limb, and find it really hard to travel to other Hospitals. It is very important because if nobody says anything, we could see this hospital closing altogether.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Anne Squire

Misportrayed brain injuriesMyself and 100's of other brain injured survivors are appalled and disgusted at the way a bleed on the brain has been dealt with. Many of us still struggle Day to day years after a ruptured aneurysm. A character on Emmerdale had the same life-changing event and was in surgery the same day and back drinking on the pub 2 days later . We feel very let down by the ITV and this portrayal in the storyline has damaged the hard work many of us do to raise awareness649 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Janine Gray

Save Hamilton HousePlease Watch this video to help you understand the project and what is at stake. https://www.facebook.com/SaveHamHouse/videos/706374576394248/ Not only have we recently lost two amazing organisations in Stokes Croft, Jacknife and Mark My Words, but now there is an immediate threat to Hamilton House being gentrified through the backdoor with artist studios and community businesses being developed into flats. The landlord has handed a vacant possession order to the building manager Coexist CIC for August 11th 2017, making 300 artists and another 400 people working in valuable creative and community activity without a legal contract or any guaranteed security for the future. Since then 200 people have been evicted fromthe rear block in the building and Coexist CIC, the organisation that was brought to life this project have been told they will not see their lease renewed. We need to protect these community buildings. Sign the petition. Act Now!13,627 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by SaveHamiltonHouse !

Hounslow: Review your Premises Licence with Gunnersbury Park!Hounslow Council have just granted a Licence to Gunnersbury Park, allowing it to run • 4 Melas each year • 4 beer festivals of up to 10,000 people • Noisy Events going on to 10:30pm UNRELENTING They say 21 days between events (the old Licence said 60 days) but they may allow 2 events at the same time in western playing fields or large events 8 weekends out of 11 throughout the summer! CORPORATE TAKE OVER Incredibly, they banned small wedding receptions (and other parties less than 500 people) from having a bar, but will allow boozy festivals to sell alcohol to take away around the park and into the streets! So much for little people getting to enjoy a party in the park….it will all be big business! EXISTING USERS IGNORED Forget about quiet walks with children, park runs, kite flying, big business making profits will take priority with parts of the park closed off THIS LICENCE WILL ALLOW • Events can go on till 10:30 not 9pm. Crowds and cars at larger events make a noise till 11:30 at least… • 4 Special Events annually (>10,000 people) – eg. London Mela • 5 Large Events annually (> 5000 people) – eg. Big beer festival • 10 Medium Events annually (< 5000 people) – eg Jazz Festival • 28 Small Events annually (<500 people) – eg. Company outing • Events can sell alcohol to take out of the park • 21 days between events sounds good till you see the western Playing Fields is divided into 2 zones, so we could have 2 events at the same time, or one after the other, for 8 weekends out of 11! • Why no Alcohol at small events (less than 500 people)? • Noise and Anti-social behaviour will sky rocket • Litter in the park will be a constant nuisance • Parts of the park will be closed off for long periods not just for the event but for set up and clear down, with security lighting, sound checks and other disturbance! WHO WANTS THIS LICENCE So who are the people hoping to turn the park into a rowdy dive? The councillor-run Gunnersbury Park Advisory Panel is supposedly in charge, but they are handing over control to Gunnersbury Estate 2026 Community Interest Company - who will lease the park and employ people. They applied for the licence. No members of the community involved in it, only 3 council officials Gunnersbury Museum and Park Development Trust A Limited Company and charity. Its relationship is unclear. Are they more interested in raising money or spending it? There seems no way local people get a look in! A LICENCE TO INCLUDE THE NEIGHBOURHOOD! WE SAY :A licence should mark the bounds of what is acceptable, and Hounslow have shown what a low opinion they have of this area. Let’s show them this neighbourhood deserves better! STIG (Save Trees In Gunnersbury) helped defeat plans in 2009 to sell off part of the park for housing – we can knock some sense into officialdom now too! REPRESENTATION FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT USES THE PARK DAILY The community is more than the big events organisers and sports clubs. People use the park daily to walk their dogs, go for a run, fly kites, ride their bikes or sit and relax. All these activities will be restricted by what Hounslow plan! It is time Local people were listened to for a change! WE WANT: • No event after 9pm • Fewer larger events • 21 days respite between events in western playing fields • Small events can have a bar! Gunnersbury Park – TIME TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOUR!741 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Martin McCloghry

King George Park Caister on SeaThe park is under used. When I asked people why they dont use it they said its because its so run down and not a very nice environment for their children to play in. Some parents have even ventured outside of the village to find a suitable, safe and entertaining park for their children which is a real shame. When I attended the park with my 3 year old this morning, one of the pieces of equipment was completely broken and posed a health and safety risk. The rest of the equipment is clearly on its last legs, with a paint job needed at the very least. We are such a tight knit community, who regularly hold community fundraising and small village events - it is such a shame that our children don't have somewhere safe and fun to play.221 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Cogdell
