Save Coatbridge DWP officeThe proposed closure of the office means relocating 250 staff outwith Coatbridge. The closure of the office will have a crushing affect of Coatbridge Main Street and other small businesses within the area. Over 50% of the staff within the office are on alternative working patterns such as school term time or compressed working days; to suit family life within the area. Staff relocation's are currently planned between September & November. The closure of this office is part of the conservatives centralization plans to remove hundreds of government offices out of small towns and place them within large hubs in cities.

Keep the Health Visitor at Tupton TiddlersMany people who come to Tupton Tiddlers either can't or don't want to go to other Baby clinics because they are either too far for them to travel or feel uncomfortable going somewhere that they won't know anyone. Having the health Visitor here helps parents and carers get out of the house to meet others and form friendships when they feel isolated. It also makes sure that more people can make sure that everything is alright with their children and give them any help they need.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hannah Morris

Traffic calming for Westquarter Avenue /WellbankRoad users are increasingly frightening us residents with the speed at which they come up and down the hill and past Wellbank. Our children play on the grassy areas. Our fear is that someone is going to be struck and killed. At the speed traffic passes here if they struck a child they would die instantly.281 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Laura Macdonald

Keep our Greenbelt GreenSkerne Valley is an important green belt area. It has historical and ecological importance and deserves to be respected. Brafferton, Coatham Mundeville, Skerningham, and Barmpton are rural communities with individual spirit. Individual spirit that will be torn in two if either of these route are allowed to progress. The impact on the local Flora and Fauna will be catastrophic, the skerne at Barmpton is known to be home to Otters, Skerningham Woods was recently planted with Black Poplar trees at tax payers expense, by the same council that now wants to rip it all down and build on it. There were several other routes that wereput forward, the main one being the remodelling of Junction 57, It's shown to be cheaper . more environmentally friendly and resolves more issuesbut that was dropped due to complexity and stakeholder preference. Who are these stakeholders? To quote one local resident, "route B is like corporate vandalism, please take it off the table" To us both routes are corporate vandalism and they both need taking off the table. Help us to bring our displeasure to the Council by signing this petition, filling in the questionaire here https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/TeesValleyRoadNetworkImprovement and ticking NO to question 7. Together we can make a difference and keep our Greenbelt Green.682 of 800 SignaturesCreated by George Campbell Wilson

Save the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford BayThe Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay is under threat from East Sussex CC plans to build a road and bridge over the railway and creek and onto Tide Mills using public tax payers money. This road and bridge will be for the sole benefit of private commercial interest, namely the French owned Newhaven Harbour and any associated companies. There are proposals to create a ready mixed concrete works and a concrete block making plant. The associated lorry and transport movements such a road and bridge and industrialisation of the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay will create traffic noise, traffic pollution and cause additional traffic congestion problems on our already inadequate road system. These plans and proposals will destroy the Western End of Tide Mills and Seaford Bay including the East Arm and alter the Western End of Seaford Bay not only from the visual perspective but environmentally and ecologically with far reaching consequences for both wild life and plant life. Once lost, this unspoilt coast line will be gone for ever. There is the public health issue associated with proposing such activities so close to the residential areas of Newhaven and also given the prevailing south westerly winds, any dust and pollution will be blown directly to Seaford.4,728 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Geoff King

Save the Number 27 busNational Express have made plans to stop the 27 bus. It goes around Birmingham to places that don’t have public transport otherwise. Many residents in Stirchley and Bournville would be out public transport which they use in their daily lives. This would affect elderly people who use it to get into town and shopping centres, as well as children who use the bus to get to and from school. The National Express have launched a public consultation. If as many of us sign the petition as possible, we can show them how vital the 27 is to so many people.3,395 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Nicky Brennan

Request an independent review of how the BBC portrays the Welsh language.This petition was originally launched in August 2017 on the day the Welsh Government published a white paper on the future of the Welsh language BBC's flagship current affairs programme Newsnight posed the question "is the Welsh language a help or hindrance to the nation ", this was followed up in an item where the presenter suggested the Welsh language was a hobby and invited a contribution from an individual with a long track record of trolling the Welsh language. Since then there have been a number of instances where the Welsh language has received negative coverage on the BBC, with an episode of Have I Got News For You broadcast in Friday, the 30th of April, mocking the language in the name of comedy. A review would enable the preparation of a documented audit of all items relating to the Welsh language and would be able to establish if indeed there is an issue with regards how the Welsh language is portrayed and to assess what editorial systems are in place to ensure editorial fairness.8,643 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Huw Marshall

Support with north Lanarkshire for children with additional needsI feel this is important as my son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum 3 years ago. Since then I have had little to no support. It has been a battle from the start to get any support within school which he now has some but not all the support he needs. There is no club or group I can take him to within my area and I feel he is being social isolated even more. There is no drop in session where I can go for advice or support when I need. Where it is advice on handle his behaviour or on school matter or even help filling out forms. After being involved in some online support groups I have learned I am not allow in feeling like this and now parents r starting to cum together to fight for a better future for our children. We want to raise strong independent adults who will have a service that will support them. We r not asking for anything that other local authorities dnt already do. So please share and sign the petition so we can have a better future for our children.1,076 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Karen McKeown

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.

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.1,359 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Val Saunders
