• Save Crystal Clean Car Wash Howick, Penwortham
    We’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.

  • National Recognition By the NHS & NICE of the diagnosis For Dissosiative Identity Disorder
    There 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.

  • Stop bus route changes to service 3 and 4
    This 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.

  • Condemn Donald Trump for pulling out of Paris climate agreement
    This is an international problem, which met with an international solution - and Britain must join the international condemnation of America's terrible, selfish decision. We do not want to live in a world dominated by bullies. We do not want to live in a Britain too scared to do anything America doesn't want. We demand leadership that makes us proud to be British. If Theresa May cannot condemn America's decision to condemn our planet, will she ever stand up for anything? British people stand up for others, and we stand up for what we believe in. We do not want a Prime Minister who licks the boots of the American president. Theresa May must show strong leadership and sign the international letter condemning Donald Trump and his abandonment of the Paris agreement.

  • The Gunners Pub
    As there has been footage of violence at both Arsenal's and Tottenham's football grounds, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.It is a public right of way on match days to pass through, however when the potential of trouble is imminent local residents are denied this access. There have been many incidents of abuse and threats made on social media which I find childish and classless. If they have paid dues like every other filming body to the local authority then so be it, however it is a public space for use by all. I am writing to the club to establish who funds the security of the said people and only ask, not that they stop, they have the right to an opinion, but that it moves for safety reason into somewhere more suitable as they did in their beginnings .

  • Protect Wales’ National Parks
    The Welsh Assembly and the Welsh government are considering plans to change how national parks are looked after. But the plans are missing crucial protections that would safeguard Wales’ natural beauty for future generations. Wales is full of breathtaking natural parks, places such as Snowdonia which we all cherish. That’s why we want the Sandford principle retained as an ultimate safeguard so that, when there is an unresolvable conflict of purposes, conservation has the higher priority. We need to insist on full public consultation for any proposed changes to the purposes of National Parks.For more information, feel free to visit the Snowdonia Society and Save National Parks websites.

  • Ban the use of wild animal in circuses
    Wild animals, like lions and tigers, are not meant to live their lives travelling from place to place in small cages, only to be then forced to train for the next circus performance. They deserve to live in much better conditions. Eighteen countries have already banned the use of wild animals in circuses. It's possible for circus organisers to put on an exciting performance without involving wild animals. Polls have shown that Scottish people overwhelmingly support this ban, so it's time for the Scottish Government to put the ban in place. The Scottish Government is currently in consultation to pass this into law. We hope to collect as many signatures as possible. That way we can submit our petition as evidence that the Scottish people care about this cause, and force this bill through. You can read more about the bill here: http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/Bills/104493.aspx We will be submitting our petition as evidence here: http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/CurrentCommittees/104956.aspx

  • Statement of Support of Rabbi Joseph Dweck
    We, the undersigned, are a collective of community members in London who comply with Jewish law and are actively involved in observant, communal Jewish life. This statement expresses our utmost support for the leader of the S&P Sephardi Community, Rabbi Joseph Dweck, both as a senior minister and educator. Contrary to accusations made, we do not feel that our honour has been slighted or that we have been insulted in any way. We are also of the opinion that Rabbi Dweck has been bold in addressing an issue which is often neglected, and that there are rare if any educational forums on this subject matter. Similarly, we have been inspired by his lectures on topics relating to Jewish law for both Sephardim and Ashkenazim. While we would welcome a communal debate about the halakhic parameters of the lecture/shiur in question and educational endeavours to debate the content, we are of the strong opinion that any calls to involve alternative Batei Din and Rabbinic panels in this matter, both local and those in America, Israel or other, or calls to strip him of his title, be ignored and this matter remain local. We also call upon all parties to retain dignity and an appropriate level of discourse. At no time should any further insults be made, lest this result in more desecration of God’s name and negative view of observant Jews both internal and external to the community. We are stronger as a community if we are able to facilitate civil debate l’shem Shamayim.

  • Stop Commercial flights at RAF Northolt
    RAF Northolt has a proud history in the service of Britain, but after years of changes by the back door almost every flight is now commercial. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) recently increased the number of non-military flights from 7,000 to 12,000 every year with no consultation with residents. That’s in addition to the thousands of flights over west London’s already congested skies. Any other civil airport would have had to go through the proper planning process, allowing the public to have their say. But the MoD just hid behind the veil of national security and the local council seemed happy to let them. A secret report recently revealed Northolt could take up to 50,000 commercial flights a year, including regional airlines using bigger jets. Now they are preparing to spend £45 million of taxpayers’ money on renovations. With regional airlines like FlyBe lobbying hard to use Northolt “right now”, it’s not hard to work out why these changes are being made. This is the next step on the road to becoming a fully fledged regional airport. This could be your last chance to stop up to 50,000 commercial flights a year and Northolt effectively becoming Heathrow’s fourth runway. If you don’t want this to happen, join our campaign and tell the Government to end commercial flights at Northolt now. Please visit http://stopnortholt.org for more information.

  • Closure of Vital Clinic
    This clinic provides an essential co-ordinated approach for all sorts of vulnerable people with mental health needs. Appointments can be arranged in less than a day, with someone who is having a crisis with health professionals such as Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Mental health Nurses, G.Ps and Dietitians. Services are being transferred to St.Ann's Hospital but most professionals will now be scattered all over the borough making full co-ordinated treatment impossible. Also, most clients are very vulnerable and extremely intimidated by going to a hospital like St.Ann's. Community treatment should be just that, provided in the community. A lot of people will have appointments few and far between and some will be too scared to go. Please help us to stop this closure. They are only doing this to sell the building and making a mere £2 million pounds. My family member is among those affected. A person who got to Cambridge University through sheer determination from an ordinary comprehensive school. A very young teenager was forced to leave by an uncaring head of department at Cambridge because she was suffering from all sorts of anxieties. No offer of help was made. This experience led to a full mental break down. She faced having no future until this clinic stepped in and helped her with their specialised treatment. However, if the closure goes ahead, she cannot face going to St.Ann's and her condition will deteriorate as a result. I would be so grateful if you could sign this petition. The government are only closing it to save the NHS a tiny amount. It will back fire because the chaos that will be created will cost them millions. Thank you so much.
