Don't refuse to treat Lance Corporal Callum BrownThese guys fight for our very own freedom the fact he is Scottish shouldn't even come into this. He's a human first and foremost NHS England should hang their head in shame, this is pathetic and will not be tolerated simply discrimination to a fellow human being. 'This is the ultimate slap in the face' Former soldier lost his legs in Afghanistan but Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham will no longer treat him because he's Scottish.4,696 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Gary Kelly

Stop Closure Of Wrenthorpe Local SurgeryOutwood surgery are going to put out a consultation document in reference to closing Wrenthorpe Surgery. I believe they have already decided to close the surgery as they have been running it down for at least the last two years, a worry that I have expressed to my local councillor on regular occasions. The reasons for closing the surgery are purely monetary, no matter what they say. I believe that it is part of the "privatisation of the NHS" policy by selling off NHS properties. Make no mistake that this will also end up in the closure of our local chemist which will cause an extra burden on the sick and elderly in Wrenthorpe. This will not only affect Wrenthorpe but will be part of a bigger issue that will see centralisation of doctors services throughout the Wakefield area based purely on financial interests.. We must make a stand now. Stop the creeping privatisation of "OUR" NHS459 of 500 SignaturesCreated by David McLeod

Reinstate Kim's barrow decorationsKim works for Hackney Council and does an amazing job cleaning the streets and squares of Dalston. Kim collects old toys and other memorabilia which she decorates her barrow creating the most colourful display that brings a smile to everyone who sees her. Yesterday her boss instructed her to remove all her decorations from her barrow - saying that the decorations stopped her looking like she worked for the Council. It is clear - decorations or no decorations - that she works for Hackney Council by the job she does and the uniform she wears. This petition is important to allow Kim to keep her decorations on her barrow, as it is not harming anyone, but instead Kim has gone beyond the call of duty in her job by bringing joy to the streets of Dalston. Please sign the petition to reinstate Kim's barrow decorations.257 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Laura White

Retain The Miltons Head Site for Licensed PremisesIn common with many villages in Britain, Chalfont St Giles has seen a severe reduction in the number of traditional pubs and their replacement by gastro-pubs , restaurants and non-licensed premises. The villagers are therefore saddened by the fire at the Milton's Head and its eventual demolition as it had been a licensed premises since 1901. In order to prevent any further reduction in licensed premises, the residents of Chalfont St Giles hereby petition Chiltern District Council to refuse any planning application for a change of use of the site from licensed premises /restaurant to any alternative use.747 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Helen Griffiths

stop down grading our Hospitalthe people of Fermanagh fought hard against strong opposition to have this Acute hospital located in Enniskillen, so it is important that all efforts to thwart it's advancement be met with strong opposition by the very people it is to serve, our councilor's have done little or nothing to halt the axe being used in the down grading process, instead are swallowing excuse after excuse from the WH&SCT, our MLAs are doing even less, so let's see what the people can achieve1,077 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ernie Williams

Bring Runwood care homes and Sita Suez bin collections back under local authority controlTwo separate issues in two different services have arisen in the last few weeks and months with one single common cause of the problem – private companies running vital public services. Runwood Homes, a company who made £14 million profit out of care provision last year run six ex-council care homes across the borough, after the council gave them the contract two years ago. The period of pay protection is due to end and Runwood are looking to tear up existing contracts and re-engage workers on inferior terms and conditions, including cuts of up to £900 a month in pay and cuts to holiday and sickness provision. We believe this could ultimately lead to inferior care to our elderly residents which is unacceptable. Sita Suez have run the waste and recycling services contract for Doncaster Council for a number of years and have a history of poor industrial relations at the Doncaster depot which has led to a number of disputes, meaning bins left unemptied across the borough. Doncaster Council have recently completed the tendering process for this service and has been won again by Sita Suez for 8 further years. Two weeks into this contract, Sita Suez have announces 112 redundancies in the service along with sweeping changes in how the service is to be delivered going forward including; • Bin collections dropping from 5 days a week to 4 days a week • An aging workforce having to work 10 hours a day • Potentially dangerous practices with HGV drivers having to operate in residential streets for longer, when our kids and grandkids might be out playing after school. There is no economic or social rationale for private companies to run public services. In other local authorities services are being brought back in house for the very reason private companies generally provide a poorer more costly service, for the simple reason that private companies have to make profit to appease shareholders. Doncaster Trades Council say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The last straw should have been the disastrous decision to allow private equity owned Care UK to run services to care for our adult population who require care for severe learning disabilities. We cannot take this any longer. Sign the petition to the elected Mayor, Councillors and MPs and Chief Executive of Doncaster Council to demand that the council cancel contracts with both Runwood Homes and Sita Suez to protect, local services, jobs and terms and conditions of workers in both services113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jon Moorcroft

Retain Villagers Access to Granta ParkIt was understood by the Parish Council and villagers that we would be allowed unrestricted access to the common areas of the Granta Park site, as agreed during planning negotiations. It is an integral part of village life, with many residents having used this area for recreation for over 30 years. It provides a safe route to the village from the Land Settlement to the centre of the village. This is particularly important for children attending the school. They will be forced to use Pampisford Road, which has no footpath. The traffic calming methods which have been installed are ineffective. This road is now considerably busier due to the amount of traffic generated by Granta Park employees. The employees of Granta Park enjoy the facilities of the village, particularly at lunchtimes. It would be a shame if the villagers were not afforded the same privileges of enjoying the grounds of Granta Park. As far as we are aware there have been no issues caused by villagers having access to Granta Park.326 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Julie Cooper

Tool Crime. Deserves Time.It is an increasing problem Country wide for all tradesmen and women. It takes years of hard work and a large expense to build up a tool kit and a van that enables you to earn an honest living. More and more people are being affected by this crime and it needs to be stopped. I want this petition to reach Parliament to demand new laws that impose a minimum 2 year sentence on those convicted of vandalising vans and stealing tools. Also, we need a system that ensures any victim will be reimbursed for their loss in full immediately to enable that person to carry on working.47,097 of 50,000 SignaturesCreated by Lee Watts

Bathampton Toll - Another Tax on people, simply trying to get to work!I am extremely disappointed to see that The General Estates Company (http://www.general-estates.co.uk) who own and operate the Bathampton Toll Bridge feels there is justification in increasing the charges from 70p to 80p each way – a 12.5% increase, way above the current rate of inflation at 2.6% and certainly higher than the increase many have received in salary over the last 4 years, since last it increased. Firstly, I have requested from several sources what possible justification there could be for increasing this cost? The Bathampton Mill bridge has for a long time been more expensive, per distance travelled than The Seven Bridge, The Clifton Suspension Bridge and even The Dartford Crossing bridge on the M25. During this time of austerity and nationwide uncertainty, when the cost of living in has never been higher in recent history, how can anyone justify this unfair price hike? The toll bridge takes £1000's of every day from people just trying to get to work, taking their kids to school, operate their business... basically just trying to get on with their busy lives. It is an unjust Tax on honest, local people, when the alternative routes through Bath, Bradford or Limpley Stoke are by no means acceptable alternatives. Yet again we are penalised for simply trying to get to work!! I am sure that many local people chose to cycle or walk when it is viable, but since public transport does not offer an alternative option, the toll bridge is often the only route, unless you have time to drive into Bath or Bradford instead. I have had enough!!! As well as starting this petition, calling on a halt to this increase, I will also pursue a complete stop at best, a reduction at least to the charges to residence of the 3 boughs of Bathford, Batheaston and Bathampton. I will also be making formal complaints to MP's as well as Bath, Bathampton and Batheaston Councils to stop this unjustifiable increase and yet another increased tax on local people. Please support this cause and stop this frustrating and expensive toll.199 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Chiles
