Keep Barclays Bank on County Road LiverpoolThe bank sits in a ward already suffering from high deprivation and local people rely on their services to access their money. Barclays offer basic bank accounts ideal for people on low incomes and facing challenging times. Liverpool has had 58% of its funding budget cut from services since 2010, and the closure of this bank would be another blow to local people already bearing the brunt of government cuts.190 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kay Davies

No more Police and Station cutsIt's stated that if the cuts go ahead people will be able to go into places like cafes and McDonald's to have a chat with the police. This will not work, can you imagine a distressed person sitting in full view in possibly a cafe having to report things that's happened while people are sitting close by eating. This is not what Sadiq Khan was voted in for. It is not the will of the people to continue to cut these most valuable service. There must be no more cuts to the emergency services only more resources put in place and the reopening of all the stations as well as more Police recruited rather than their ridiculous cuts.111 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Diane Faichney

Keep Annbank Buses RunningIt's important because two villages depend on our bus service, they are also cutting it to an hourly service, which means people have to leave earlier for work, and are home later. It also isolates young and old alike.96 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Isabella Mcfarlane

Save the Only All-Weather Lifeboat in Ceredigion“This puts lives at risk unnecessarily. As lifeboat crew members, we are happy to give our time voluntarily; all we ask for is the right equipment for the job.” - Volunteer RNLI crewman Huw. To give you some background, the RNLI has decided to downgrade New Quay Lifeboat Station to an Inshore Lifeboat when the service life of its current All-Weather Lifeboat expires in 2020. The proposed new lifeboat will not be able to launch in bad weather (over force 7 in daylight or force 6 at night) whereas the current lifeboat can launch in any weather. This doesn't just affect New Quay: The All-Weather Lifeboat also covers Cardigan, Aberporth, Tresaith, Llangrannog, Aberaeron, Llanon, and Aberystwyth. After 2020, there will be no All-Weather Lifeboats in the whole of Ceredigion, leaving a gap of 70 miles between the All-Weather stations of Barmouth and Fishguard. What this means is that the nearest All-Weather Lifeboat, even travelling at 25 knots, will take an hour and a quarter to reach some parts of Cardigan Bay. We, the undersigned, call on the RNLI to retain the All-Weather Lifeboat capability of New Quay Lifeboat Station. (Photo credit: Emyr Rhys Williams)16,177 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Ann Evans

Art Lecturers to stayMany students have struggled during their academic years and struggled to turn to someone for help. For us, students of Bolton University and of a variety of art courses we had always found our lecturers to be there for each individual student and support them consistently through any and every obstacle during their time of studying. Now to sadly hear that these wonderful people are losing their jobs, we would like to return the favor and to help keep them in a place where they love what they do and help so many during their toughest times.248 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Nemi Chuckles

Stop the release of film 'To the Bone'There might already be a petition circulating about this but I haven't seen one - I don't know if it will ever reach Netflix but I feel compelled to do something rather than nothing! *ps sorry I'm not the best with words If you haven't seen me voicing my opinion on twitter yet - I believe the recent trailer released for the film 'To The Bone' starring Lily Collins shows an extremely glamourised & romanticised portrayal of an eating disorder. First of all the fact it's being marketed as a Comedy is extremely worrying. I've seen so many people who've struggled with an ED saying how badly it's affected them. This includes close friends of mine. It's only a minute or two long, has only been out a few days & the impact is already huge. Hundreds have voiced how it has triggered them, made them feel they have to watch it, encouraged thoughts of relapse, and copying the self destructive actions. Some tweets have reduced me to tears. Did Netflix stop to think about these repercussions? Did they involve MH professionals & follow their advice? Because it is SO brutal and damaging to show such extreme ways of losing weight without so much as a trigger warning! It's not a realistic portrayal in many ways e.g. inpatient doesn't equal a nice house in the countryside, or visiting a waterfall to contemplate life. You are in a hospital with other people who are desperately struggling. Fighting for their lives. There is nothing romantic about it. There is no such thing as 'calorie aspergers' and constant jokes aren't made about your disorder. You don't meet the love of your life or have a sudden epiphany which means recovery is inevitable. Recovery is long, intense and debilitating. It takes up all your energy. This film is supposed to raise awareness, but where are the 'ugly' real life consequences of ED's? Yellowing teeth, hair falling out, losing your period, developing numerous other physical health problems etc etc. This film is not even close to reality. It's insulting and I'm devastated for all the lives it's going to affect in a negative way. All the people it's going to badly influence. We should be taking steps forward to reduce the stereotypes & stigma around MH issues, not backwards 🌹 If you feel the same at all I urge you to sign this petition & share it if you can - we may not get anywhere but I sincerely hope it gets taken down to make way for REAL awareness projects. I know there's probably things I've missed out so PLEASE message me if there's anything you'd like me to include! Thank you for taking the time to read x317 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Eleanor Gray

Block McVitie's Additional Car Park Exit onto Chandos RoadMcVities are planning to open an exit to their employee car park onto Chandos Road, increasing traffic on quiet residential roads in the Heatons. They have said this will be used by their employees (of which they have 500) and operate 7 days a week. Currently, the exit leads onto the A6 and they are planning to divert some of the congestion onto the quiet roads of local homeowners. We have a lovely quiet cul-de-sac, used by children to play out. In addition to a well used guide/scout hall, with children's after school activities in the evening when they say the extra traffic will be (6:30pm to 7:30pm, 7 days a week). They also expect high volume between 6:30am and 7:30am, 7 days a week. Please help us stop this large corporate business (albeit with good biscuits) ruining the lovely road we live on.368 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Mayers

Reimpose the ban on Tail docking for working dogsAside from the fact that these dog's are used for what is a leisure activity and not a necessity, it is absolutely crucial that we stop using our own hobbies whether they are right or not, as justification for putting an animal through needless suffering. This country has led the way in animal rights, now in a bizarre twist the SNP and the Scottish conservatives are backing each other on this based on flawed studies. This attitude that the animals may damage themselves so we should do it ourselves when puppies is so primitive and inhumane I'm shocked it has been allowed. To carry out an act of cruelty on the low probability that they may get hurt in the future is just unacceptable. I myself own a boxer, a dog breed that for the longest time would have it's tail docked regardless of whether or not it was a working dog, I have owned 4 Boxers, 3 of whom had docked tails. My current boxer, Lotte, has her tail fully intact and I've never had a boxer that was so cuddly, joyful and friendly (A hard thing to say because the other 3 were very loving dogs) Instead of this attitude that we should do the damage ourselves, we should adopt a wait and see approach, this is what vets are trained for, to help and nurse animals back to health in the event of mistreatment or accidents, If Lotte ever has an accident with her gorgeous tail, I feel confident in her vets abilities to get her back to health and make her comfortable in her recovery.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mark Dennis

Ban Styrofoam Packaging & Encourage Sustainable Packaging UseStyrofoam is extremely harmful to the environment and us humans. When EPS (expanded polystyrene) is heated it leaches toxins (styrene) into our food and hot beverages. These have been linked to a higher risk of developing lymphoma and leukemia. Apart from the health risks that arise from eating and drinking from styrofoam, this material takes hundreds of years to decompose once its short, single-use life is over. It is deadly to wildlife that ingests it and pollutes their habitats. There are so many amazing materials and products available that can either be composted once their life is over or used time and again, there really is no excuse for using styrofoam. Please consider a nationwide ban of this awful material and incentives for businesses to invest in better, more sustainable options for packaging and food service.241 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Helen McGonigal
