Reopen Home Office investigation into foreign funding of violent extremism in the UKWe need to hold to account those responsible for funding terror and those who maintain normal relations, this can only be achieved by tackling those who fund them head on and are called out publicly.240 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Amir Chowdry

Don't change Gravesham bin collectionGravesham Borough Council want us, the residents, to take any excess to the tip ourselves. This is NOT what we pay our council tax for. This will be a requirement for ALL families, every single week. Some do not even have cars, what will happen to the rubbish then? There will be MORE rubbish on the streets, and an increase in rats and foxes attacking refuge. There needs to be a change, this has not been thought out well at all, and is nothing short of cutting corners to save cost.1,314 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Simon Chapman

Save Cae's homeCae is a valued member of our community and has contributed a great deal to Bentley House Estate and supported many of its tenants/leaseholders over the last 20 years. City South Housing Assocation, now part of One Manchester, describes its purpose as: Creating opportunities · Transforming communities · Changing lives · Providing quality homes · Ambitious · Connected · Trustworthy A recent move by the company unfortunately calls most of these into question - apart from “changing lives”. Making a long term resident homeless and destitute would certainly be life-changing for him. Please follow the link below to the video of Cae explaining his desperate situation. Please don't delay! Watch the video today. We've got 11 days to challenge this decision to save Cae's home and future livelihood. We urge you to take 10 minutes to watch this. We are running out of time to help Cae get justice! https://youtu.be/9rwlO9DzDvk432 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Nicola Cleary

Protect our children and residents, by saying no to fracking in Haxby and Wigginton areaAs parents and other local community members, we are worried about the health impacts, among many other impacts, that the exploratory drilling and fracking in our area will cause. Licences have already been granted in this area, and exploratory drilling may well take place before the end of 2017. Water companies have already warned that drinking water could be contaminated with methane gas and chemicals used in fracking, in any drilled area. These are our villages, where we and our children live, grow up and go to school. This is their home and safe place. If there should even be the smallest risk that their health would be affected by fracking or exploratory drilling, we should be able to object to it and our MP should object to plans*, in the best interest of his or her constituents. *We ask that they object to action which includes exploratory drilling as well as actual extraction, whether it uses less or more than the prescribed cubic volume at each stage or in total - if less, it can slip through and be carried out under current legislation, without planning permission, or giving locals the chance to formally object.* Fracking uses huge amounts of water that must be transported to the fracking site, which is going to have an environmental impact. Other possible risks include: - disposal of significant quantities of radioactive waste water - thousands of HGV movements for every frack - noise pollution - risk to local wildlife and our beautiful villages and surrounding countryside - It is understood that house prices may also be negatively affected in a fracked area. Whichever way we all vote, we want the elected MP to pledge to proactively fight fracking in this area, for the sake of the people who live here.340 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jane M

Save the Euston and Somer's Town ParksEuston Road and Hampstead Road are two highly polluted areas in Central London not far from the Telecom Tower. 12 to15 mature large trees in St. James' Gardens and several more in front of Euston station, highly valuable in combatting pollution damage to our health caused by constant heavy traffic, are to be cut down to make way for a HS2 which is being built to knock 20 mins off a journey to the West Midlands. St. James' Gardens provides a very pleasant haven of tranquility in the midst of a busy, polluted area at the back of Euston Station and supports wildlife- young birds. Historic gravestones and a monument provide an impressive reminder of our history ( sailors intercepting slave ships) in the 19th century. I used to play there when I was a child on the swings, now replaced by a well-used sports pitch; a toddlers' playground also exists. HS2 has been passed by Parliament but is there really NO WAY that this company cannot preserve the scarce bit of beautiful nature that has existed in this area for so many years and gives respite to so many? Furthermore, Camden Council has, apparently of necessity, sold community green space to private developers. Again, in a built-up residential area, these green spaces are precious for adults and children alike : of course, it's the trees again which have to go to make way for the luxury flats. If you value peace of mind and your health, please sign this petition. I can't tell you how much it means to me mentally and physically, to be in a beautiful, quiet space and, judging by the scarves which have carefully been tied round all the trees to be chopped; so do many others.134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sue Campbell

Keep Langton Court as a Traditional Community PubThe new landlady, Shirley Turner and her team have provided a well needed shot in the arm to the area. The Langton Court is now a bustling community hub, with many clubs and facilities including: Two pool teams * a ladies darts team* a ladies skittles team* bingo* guitar club * crib club* orange order meetings* radio hams club * football club meetings * charity table top sales.............and the enormously popular live music every Saturday night. The live music in particular, draws people from right across Bristol and the surrounding areas with a passion for live music. No other venue in St Anne's offers this.216 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Jane Staples

Save three trees in Tweedmouth ChurchyardThese three condemned trees, each marked with a white dot, have been growing in the churchyard for a century, enhancing its beauty, providing a home to its wildlife, and, in a time of climate change, bringing much needed benefits to the environment. They are perfectly healthy, and we believe there is no good reason why they should be felled. Walking beneath them, and seeing them through the changing seasons, is a daily pleasure, which should not be denied to future generations. Because planning permission has already been granted to cut them down, time is of the essence when it comes to saving these trees.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Cathy Feeny

Stop Wensum Lodge Norwich cutting accredited creative arts coursesWensum Lodge was once well-known as a thriving Norfolk County Council-run arts hub for the Eastern region. It is still the only place in the region, and certainly in Norwich, to offer accredited qualifications in many of the creative courses run there. These are all due to be cut in September 2017, with only 3 months notice. The recent numerous managerial staff changes and funding squeezes have caused problems at the Lodge, which might be ameliorated were they able to attract more paying students - something which they can do if their online presence and communications strategy improved, and if they continued along the accreditation route. Current students enrolled on courses at Wensum Lodge are often making career changes, or are developing skills in the creative industries which they then plan to use to undertake freelance work - all of which add to the creative life of the city. The value of hosting accredited courses is significant: they are instrumental in training individuals that have allowed our region to develop a strong reputation for the creative arts, and they facilitate the development of careers in those areas. This makes a positive impact on multiple levels: for the creative economy of the area - financial and reputational, not to mention the mental health of students taking these courses. Cutting courses that are poorly advertised and administered makes very little sense when the courses themselves are highly subscribed. On a practical level, some classes could be relocated to more appropriate providers, but the arts courses that are offered cannot. For example, the nearest places offering accredited Ceramics courses were in London, and then almost exclusively in the northwest of the UK. What Wensum Lodge should be doing is investing in publicity and learning support networks (computing, and online presence, amongst other things) in order to encourage more paying students rather than cutting classes that are popular and a valid part of the Eastern region's creative artistic ecosystem.418 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Siobhan Hoffmann Heap

Save Crystal Clean Car Wash Howick, PenworthamWe’re a family business with 30 years experience and we want to do things to help and appease people. We have moved the car wash to the front, have turned the jets to low pressure, fitted special nozzles on the jets, have rubber mats on the floor and will put sound-proofing screens up. There has been a business here for over 100 years and it’s a massive site to be empty. On top of that, within 12 to 18 months we want to employ up to 35 staff, paying proper wages and looking after people and the local community. We want to continue serving the local community and hope you will support us in our application for planning permission.222 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Col Pickup

National Recognition By the NHS & NICE of the diagnosis For Dissosiative Identity DisorderThere is no firm recognition within the majority of the psychiatric establishment within the NHS of the existence of Dissociative identity disorder. Many sufferers are brushed aside & accused of being liars & are often accused of fabricating the symptoms. People with DID need to be recognised & supported within our community.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Howis

Stop bus route changes to service 3 and 4This is a very important issue for the OAP's and disabled members of the communities affected. These people use our bus service as a way of staying completely independent for as long as possible. These changes to this bus route will leave the most vulnerable members of our community alienated. A short while ago, an elderly relative of mine walked home with a couple of bags of shopping. This is around the same distance as he would be forced to walk to and from his now closest bus stop - if these changes go ahead. Unfortunately due to this he suffered a heart attack. Thankfully he made a full recovery. My worry is that the people like the relative I speak of will just give up and stay at home. They shouldn't have to do this. We have had a bus service to Afoneitha for as long as I remember, having grown up there. It's important to our OAP's and disabled folk that this service isn't taken away from them. Stop the changes to service 3 and 4 - let Rhostyllen, Garden road and Afoneitha keep their vital bus service.878 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Nick Claffey
