Most people in Glasgow rely on public transport to get around (only 49% of households have cars), yet our public transport network is a total mess. Investing in public transport is essential for expanding our region’s economy, addressing inequality and social isolation, reducing toxic levels of air pollution and tackling climate change. Bickering between political parties is letting Glasgow down. We are decades behind other cities in providing affordable and sustainable transport. We are calling for: • a publicly-owned bus company for Greater Glasgow, to offer a great service like Edinburgh's Lothian Buses • affordable, integrated ticketing, with a region-wide smartcard and daily price cap • bike hire stations across the region, with free access for concessionary card holders • a democratically-accountable Transport Authority for Greater Glasgow, with power over the entire transport network (traffic/parking controls and public transport) • a coordinated, long-term vision and investment to meet the region's transport needs

As the One Stop Shop provides access to more than 30 Council services and acts as an essential point of communication for our most vulnerable constituents to engage with council and Police liaison services since the closure of the local Police station. Centralising Social Work services would deal a heavy blow to the public who are already vulnerable who may not be able to travel to new accommodations via disability or lack of funds due to rising public transport costs.

Chechyna has just opened the first concentration camp for homosexuals since WW2. Reports say that 100 gay men have so far been detained and three killed in Chechnya last week. All human life is sacred and should be protected but particularly minority groups, who are more open to abuse and need more protection in law. We've been down this road before where governments round up groups of people and we should never go down that road again. The world needs to work together to close the concentration camps for gay men in Chechnya and put protections into law for LGBT+ citizens throughout Russia and the world.

Highways (England) are proposing to re-route this part of the A428 through the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside. As justification they say traffic will be speeded up by a few minutes at peak times. But building new roads just makes room for even more traffic. The only result is a continuous and permanent loss of England’s green and pleasant land. Please sign this petition and pass it on to your friends. And, more importantly, submit your objection to Highways public consultation. A sample objection is given below The consultation period ends on April 23rd. So this is urgent. Email your objection to [email protected] giving your full name and postal address. Sample Objection A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet proposal The proposed by-pass road is un-necessary. Improvements to the Black Cat roundabout (proposed in the Plan) and to the Caxton Gibbet roundabout (not included in the Plan) will speed up the travel time to a degree which makes a new road un-necessary. The argument for the new road is basically an economic one that eventually it will increase the UK gross domestic project (GDP). However the GDP per capita has remained fundamentally unchanged over the last 15 years despite the building of new roads and the widening of many others. Thus there is likely to be no economic gain. The loss of Cambridgeshire countryside will be permanent. It is just one further example of the constant erosion of our countryside heritage which is occurring throughout England. The value of this loss has not been weighed against any real economic gain or indeed against the perceived gains as seen by the proposers of this Plan Should Highways reject these arguments the Orange route is to be preferred.

***5000 signatures forces the Council to discuss the issue at a Council Meeting. Please only sign this petition if you live, work or use LD services in Somerset*** The transfer of Somerset’s Learning Disability Service from Somerset County Council to Discovery was promised as a means of ensuring sustainable care for people with a learning disability, with ‘no savings targets’. It is now clear, however, that to make the £4m saving predicted Discovery plan to make staff redundant, reduce the terms and conditions of those left, and possibly close day centres. By starving funding for adult social care Somerset County Council have handed Discovery the task of implementing cuts that will hit the care provided to vulnerable people. Cuts will lower morale, risk high staff turnover, and leave staff vacancies unfilled. Service users and their families were promised a sustainable service focused on the continuity of care delivered by experienced, knowledgeable and familiar staff. The cuts proposed will be highly detrimental to the delivery of personalised quality care. We are therefore calling on Somerset County Council to give LD Services the funding that it needs to ensure continued high quality care for vulnerable adults in Somerset. If the current cuts are progressed this will not be achieved.

Atherton skatepark was recently demolished randomly and out of the blue with no notice or warning what so ever. It was important to each and every single person who uses or did use the skatepark or even anybody who wants to take up extreme sports. The skatepark was much loved by locals and people that are not so local, it kept so many young people out of trouble and off the streets doing something they love! The council have just took that away! PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION AND LETS GET ANOTHER FACILITY BUILT!

Temple Newsam Park is a free public park to be enjoyed by everyone. Should these plans go ahead, the facility will enhance the park and bring more visitor from Leeds and further afield to the House and Farm. There may be a requirement to improve car parks but the overall impact of traffic in the area should not increase significantly. Groups are staggered when starting the tree top adventure course, therefore they will be staggered when arriving and leaving. The adventure course will bring both tourist revenue and employment to the area. As can be seen in the picture on this petition, a very small proportion of the estate will be used for this venture. It is also being situation in what is already a noisy section of the park so noise pollution should have zero to no impact on the peacefulness enjoyed in other areas of the estate.

Because it will reduce accidents and could save life's my son was knocked down on this road thinking it was clear and it wasn't we were very lucky the driver was amazing and was driving under the speed limit otherwise we may not have our son now. However on a daily basis we have seen many other drivers speeding through the village. My son is the third child I know about who has been knocked down in this road and there has been many other accidents such as crashes on this road to. A crossing will encourage drivers to drive slower and reduce accidents and will stop people of all ages old and young from trying to estimate if the road is clear enough or they have long enough to get over before getting hurt. I know it will be expensive for the council but my child's life does not have a price to high for keeping him safe and I am sure yours doesn't either.

The Walk-In Clinic at The Third Floor Medical Centre at Lanark Road, London W9 1NZ is, and has been providing an excellent service to a large number of people in Maida Vale, West London. In the two years it has been running, thousands of patients have been treated, (up to 100 each week). Closing this clinic would therefore impact negatively on patients. Local GP practices in Maida Vale are already badly overstretched and waiting times for an appointment are often measured in weeks. I am writing to ask you to drop your plans to close the Lanark Road Third Floor Walk-in Centre. This view is shared by hundreds of local residents, from 19 to 93 years of age. I implore you to listen to them. Alternative Walk In Clinics can be two bus journeys away, so are inaccessible for many patients. This centre is easy to reach for patients, who may otherwise find it necessary to visit the A&E Department at St Mary’s Hospital. As well as being required to wait a number of hours, they would be using overstretched emergency services, (and therefore more expensive to manage). I urge you in the strongest possible terms to drop these damaging plans, for the sake of patients as well as local NHS service provision.

Climate change and the damage being done to our planet and the natural world should be the number one priority for all of us. We need to work together worldwide to prevent further harm and reverse the damage already done. Many environmental targets have been put at risk by the current position of the US government. It is imperative that the UK government remains committed to these aims and to continuing to work with our friends in Europe and like minded nations and organisations worldwide. Studies and polling also show this is an important factor to millions of eligible UK voters. Protect our planet for all our children.

It is very difficult for pedestrians to cross this road near the complicated junction with Southbridge Road and Tanfield Road where traffic moves quickly both down the hill and from Southbridge Road.

The new government policies that came into force yesterday have been assessed as pushing an extra 200,000 children into poverty. One of the changes effectively punishes the 3rd child and treats them differently to their older siblings. It also places unbearable pressure on the mother to put in an official form whether she has been raped or not. Given that most rapes go unreported, or do not reach court due to the high attrition rates for sexual offences, how exactly are women in this position supposed to be able to prove their rape? How many women will choose not apply rather than relive the trauma of the assault? This new approach also penalises parents who already have a 3rd child, and who may need state support in the future due to their circumstances changing. Only their first 2 children are eligible for financial support, again effectively discriminating against the 3rd child. This is blatantly unfair, and against the rights of the child and the mother. It's crucial that this change is challenged and if necessary taken through the courts and all the way to the ECHR- for the sake of children and families. This needs to be challenged by all political parties to send a strong signal to the Government that it cannot get away with treating its citizens in this cruel and inhuman way.
