Stop the mobile phone mast near the school in ButleighThis is important as much research has proven a link to serious health issues when a mast is set up too close to schools and homes. This is endangering a whole generation of children, simply because it is cheaper to put it where the company has decided they want to put it. It is reckless, dangerous, arrogant and counting on the ignorance of locals, who do not realise that their children are at risk. Please share.292 of 300 SignaturesCreated by The Friends of Butleigh Mast Relocation Group

Helping Hearts For The HomelessThe council should be helping to rehome these people. They shouldn't be moved out of town they should be helped. Our job is to get these people the help they need to better their lives.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Cattell

Number 5 Bus Keep it Public and Funded !Elderly, disabled and the vulnerable are effected by the lack of social mobility, inherent in this exclusion as a service. This includes public sector workers, those working at Blackberry Hill Hospital the UWE training site, UBHT and also any new housing developments being built. That impacts on the economic and social well-being of the city and people that use Number 5 Bus Route. None of the people using the route or that filled in the survey including my self were asked. Wether we would like any part of the service to be commercialised. Leading to NO public consultation by the council around these planned changes, including whether the council will guarantee any shortfall of provision if the commercial operator does not fulfil the void under Public Sector Transport. The Mayor talked about looking at transport as an issue here is his chance. To do something positive about that very issue.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Viran Patel

Don't limit free Lancashire scool bus passesIt is not just families on benefits who are struggling to make ends meet and a charge of over £500 per year is a huge burden to those families who are not now eligible for a free bus pass . Free school transport is an essential for all those who live more than reasonable walking distance from school. This change penalises hard working families.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by margaret baugh

Save the Shed!The youth project and KRAN are based at the Shed. They work with local young people many of whom live in Harbour Ward, one of the most deprived in the area. The young people receive sex and health education, drug and alcohol awareness, and help with writing CVs and applying for jobs. They are also encouraged to take part in a range of positive activities (such as sport, art, and music technology) and are able to make friends and integrate with other local young people. The Shed is a safe, non-judgemental space where all are welcome. One young person who uses the Shed said this, "People who find it hard to fit in anywhere else come here which enables them to feel valued...it also provides them with education and teaches them that everyone is equal no matter what their background is. We wouldn't have learnt these life lessons and morals if it wasn't for the Shed and the kind-hearted staff that give up their time to make sure we feel we belong."912 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by The Shed

Petition UK Government to put a stop to UK farmers keeping animals in despicable conditionsThe February 2017 exposure of the horrendous conditions for pigs at the Lambrook Pig Unit at Lamyatt, Somerset appalled many thousands of people across the UK, not least because the conditions shown in the video evidence were largely legal under the law as it stands at present. No reasonable person could possibly accept that the conditions shown at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=577DEdDxRek should be allowed by law in the United Kingdom in the twenty first century. This video evidence clearly identifies a need for an urgent and substantive amendment to The Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007 to introduce even a modicum of decency in terms of basic conditions for farm animals in the UK5,845 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Catherine Andrew

Urgent. Save an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - Leith Hill, Surrey.As an AONB, drilling for oil here would destroy this woodland and it's natural history habitat. But not only would the area of woodland be lost the access to the area is by minor roads, so the surrounding area may also be lost and destroyed as no doubt access roads and other infrastructure would be built to enable the recovery of oil. At the moment there is a peaceful protest group ( Leith Hill Protection Camp) on site to prevent the drilling, but they have a High Court Judgement for eviction against them pending. When this is acted on there is no other form of prevention for drilling. Please act now!2,226 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Malcolm Padgham

Save Ongar Leisure CentreIf we don't act now, the proposal for this site will remain in the Local Plan due to be sent to The Secretary of State for approval later in 2017. The land is owned by the District Council, so once the Local Plan is approved, it would be very difficult to stop the land being sold and redeveloped in a few years time. The leisure centre and swimming pool will be closed along with most of the carpark which is also used and needed by the 12,000 patients using the local doctors surgery. The site has been in marked for 24 houses. There is nowhere else to build any new Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool in its place in Ongar We have had a great deal of feed back from our "Save Ongar Leisure Centre" Facebook page. Here are some of the comments: "Are they really going to knock down a Leisure Centre that provides facilities for 1000s of people, just to put 24 houses plus lose valuable parking for the doctors" "If EFDC was to take Ongar Leisure Centre away what will be there for the children. It will only bring more crime. When I take my younger brother to football to center is packed full" "Classes are always booked to the max. And you can't get in if you don't book 2 weeks in advance". If the Leisure Centre were to close it deprive over a 1000 pupils of swimming lessons, 1200 fitness members of their facilities and numerous gymnastics, trampolining, badminton, netball and martial arts non member users and clubs. This centre provides a focal point for our community and is so important for our social and physical well being. To lose this Centre would be a disaster and would leave a massive gap in peoples lives and take away the only leisure facility all ages can use.2,623 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Save Ongar Leisure Centre

Maintain Moorwell Place on Eccleshill Recreation GroundMoorwell Place sits at the bottom of Eccleshill Recreation Ground. It is public right of way and the only pedestrian footpath leading from Moorside Road to the footpath that runs down the side of the recreation ground, by the bowling green. It is used by the residents of Eccleshill, including Parents with toddlers and pushchairs, children on their way to school, cyclists, followers of the Eccleshill History Trail and many others, along with the residents of the street. At present, it is in a sorry state. It is muddy and full of deep potholes, making it extremely unsafe. It is inaccessible to mobility vehicles/wheelchairs. For a number of years, the residents of Moorwell Place have asked the council to maintain the road which, although they have previously acknowledged responsibility for, they have refused to maintain in an effective manner. More recently the residents have been told that the road is an “unadopted road” and the council have refused to undertake any maintenance work. After some investigation, it has been established that the road was in fact created by the local board (the council) in 1864 and as such cannot be deemed an unadopted road – it is in fact a road created by the council in 1864 and they have failed to maintain it. Further evidence suggests that a court case in 1864 established that the council were responsible for the creation of the road – but that it must remain part of the recreation ground "intact" forever. Council asset management documents show that the road is part of the recreation ground which is a registered village green. The council are owners and managers of the village green and are responsible for its maintenance.208 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Emma Heal
