Make all Bungalows & Ground Floor Flats for the DisabledDid you know there are 1 in 5 people who are living with a disability. Ten million disabled people in Britain and five million are pension age. Most of them struggling to find suitable accommodation. I became disabled from an industrial accident at work over 25 years ago. I have to rely on benefits. Majority of Landlords and Estate Agents don't have accommodation for disabled people. You may be lucky if your Landlord allows the Council to adapt their properties. But the difficulty is that so many people are living in bungalows and ground floor flats who are fortunate enough to be able to walk, and are able to climb stairs in other places. There are less bungalows being built and is a major struggle to find ground floor flats suitable for disabled people. We need more adaptions and extra room for medical equipment and accessibility is very important. My friend and I are part-time wheechair users and struggled to find a place to live in that has a wet room and due to severe allergies we struggling to find a place that has not been recently decorated. Landlords use VOC toxic paint, new carpets which has formaldehyde in them, spray glues that are not suitable for asthmatics etc. Surely making it compulsory to have all bungalows adapted for disabled people and ground floor flats adapted for disabled people, will help millions of disabled people have a better quality of life as it causes us severe stress just trying to find a safe, suitable place to live. We have enough to cope with basic tasks everyone takes for granted. Please sign and support this Campaign. Thank you.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cherie Hitchens

Save our trees on 'Green' lanesThe council ignore resident concerns and is intent on pressing forward despite the transformation of our Winchmore hill into an ugly, congested, concrete jungle with decimated natural beauty and failing business. Enfield council presented false statements and visual plans of green lanes in their 'consultation for the cycle lane scheme - on the drawings no mention was made of tearing up and ripping out ten mature trees along our green lanes to date - and more to come.The residents of Winchmore hill did not agree to the replacement of beautiful mature trees with grey slabs of concrete - 'improving public spaces ' in the council's words. No effort has been made to protect the trees at all despite claims to the contrary . Worryingly letters have been put in local communications to inform residents of more trees 'necessary' to be removed . These were not presented as needing removal in the 'consultation' plans. We live in Winchmore hill because we chose to live amongst greenery and historical mature trees.472 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Maria Panayi

Save electric car charging spaces.If you have made the decision to buy an electric vehicle for the good of all, then the government should do all they can to prevent non/electric vehicles from parking in these very limited spaces. It is akin to akin to an electric vehicle parking and blocking a petrol pump at a garage forecourt.153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by James Riley

Tax Relief for IVF paymentsIVF treatment is being increasing restricted on the NHS due to budget constraints. Making it impossible for many people to have this treatment. At around £5,000 for a private cycle, it can take many years to save for a treatment. If tax payers could claim back their tax on these payments, it would reduce the final bill by around 30% for a basic rate tax payer, making it a more achievable goal. This treatment for many is not a life choice, infertility is often caused by illness and not just 'leaving it to late'. If people can save tax on buying a bike, why not help people build a family.857 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah James

Stop cuts to Children's Centres to pay for Battle of Medway CommemorationsMedway council want to cut support for children in Medway to pay for an elaborate 10 day celebration and re-enactment of a 350 year-old naval battle - the Battle of Medway. £60,000 will be taken from children’s services to pay for the celebrations - which include jet ski demonstrations, fireworks and over-the-top battle reenactments. This money should be ring fenced for children's services. As a Medway council tax payer I know where I want the money to be spent - on children!

Support for formal Bridleways in Pelsall and RushallRoads are increasingly dangerous for the equestrian community with ever increasing traffic and speeding vehicles. It has never been more important to provide safe, off road riding for those who enjoy hacking out in our areas of natural beauty. Most landowners are understanding of their legal obligations to keep bridleways free from obstruction and provide suitable gates to provide access. There are no formal routes for the current equestrian community to safeguard their current pastime and access is threatening the informal existence of routes currently followed due to the installation of barriers to reduce off road biking nuisance. The equestrian community are proud of their links with the non-riding community who also enjoy and share some of the routes used whether it be for cycling or walking and wish to ascertain everyone's safety in the process.231 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Garry Perry

Save Our Community Spaces, MossleyThe recent threat to auction off some of Mossley's community spaces has revealed the urgency to gather support for these spaces, which once gone will never be replaced. Cosgrove Gardens, Greaves Street ( encompassing Mossley's community orchard and the car park at Cross Street ) were withdrawn from auction. Spring Street car park and gardens have also been withdrawn from auction and are in the process of being registered as a community asset. However, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council will be reviewing all of these sites in the near future due to ongoing austerity that the council is facing. We are continuing to oppose the future sale of these public spaces and to ask that they be permanently removed from the list of land for sale so that these spaces can be continued to be enjoyed by the Mossley community.
