• Get Louis Theroux to come to Balter Festival
    Because he's a fucking legend and I believe that not only would he be an excellent addition to the festival, but that he would learn a great deal from it, and it would be for the weird weekends to get an insight into our culture.

  • Traffic management in Hele Park, Newton Abbot
    The design and layout of roads within the Hele Park development has resulted in a number of 'Rat Runs' where cars are traveling at excessive speeds and across unmarked junctions. There is a need for junctions to be marked with the appropriate lines to indicate road priorities to prevent accidents.

  • Stop discrimination by Fergus Wilson and other landlords.
    Fergus Wilson, a major buy-to-let landlord in Kent, has recently openly declared that he will not rent to people based on the colour of their skin “because of the smell of curry”. He also refuses to rent to single parents, victims of domestic violence, workers on low incomes, families with children, pet owners, smokers and single adults. It it frankly unbelievable that in this day and age a landlord is legally allowed to discriminate like this, and we demand that the minister for housing stamps out this behaviour as soon as possible. Fergus Wilson and other landlords like him seem to think that we’re still living in feudal times, it’s time our laws caught up with the current century and this behaviour was made illegal.

  • Free sanitary products for girls
    So it's not so scary when it first happens and it will promote good health and hygiene information for them also encourage young girls to talk about it. Also give them a choice of which products suit them. Everyone is different and will need different products. So much choice out there and it can be daunting. This would ensure all girls are treated the same from the start with the same information to help them too.

  • Give young offenders a second chancechance
    I committed three armed robbery's at the age of 16 this was due to my circumstances, which were that I was homeless, had no family or friends to turn to, On drugs and had my life threaten with death if i didn't do it. I put myself in prison because it was the safest place for me i couldn't turn to anyone for help i was completely alone. during my time inside i begun to see the error of my ways and don't commit crime anymore but yet these mistakes were made in a most stressful and desperate time in my life i shouldn't have to pay all my life for a mistake i made when i was 16 i didn't hurt anyone i didn't kill anyone i stole from a business now this itself the reason i did it now this small change will give thousands of people a second chance a chance to be somebody were refused thousands of jobs each year because of our criminal records and i think this small change would be a second chance to help reduce offending if prisons know before there release that if they behave then their is a second chance

  • Stop bullying app SimSimi
    SimSimi has quickly become one of the U.K.’s most popular apps. Yet, this chat-box is often used to bully others. In fact, it allows users to anonymously programme a series of messages – regardless of how abusive, violent or explicit these may be – so that they are received by the targeted victim as soon as s/he logs into the app and searches their name. Due to the anonymity of these messages, it is next to impossible to hold bullies accountable. For these reasons, schools and even police forces in the U.K. have had to resort to sending letters to parents in order to warn them about the app. Even though SimSimi is restricted to people who are 17 years old or older, many children who are much younger than that have been able to download it. Most parents are unaware of the fact that ‘Simi Simi’ is dangerous for their children and that they could be at risk of bullying, which is bound to have serious implications on them. SimSimi must be banned before it causes even more damage. A few years ago the website Ask.fm was banned – but only after a few teenagers had committed suicide following the bullying they experienced using it. We must be quicker this time to ensure the same does not happen again.

  • Equal rights for NHS staff
    The morale of the NHS staff is at a low ebb and hardly surprising considering how unfairly they are treat compared to other employments. Where else would they condone the loss of holiday entitlements without compensation/remuneration? In this day and age it is a scandal. Our NHS are losing staff and it's hardly surprising. We need to support them and stand up for the abominable disparity that exists between working conditions in the public and private sector. No one, in this day and age, would condone the loss of almost a full weeks holiday entitlement due to staff shortages. We need our NHS staff, this is only one, of many, injustices we need to rectify.
