Keep IVF treatment on the NHS in Cambridgeshire and PeterboroughIVF is an amazing treatment that allows couples who have exhausted all other avenues a chance at conceiving their own child. Currently, despite the National Institute for Clinical Excellence recommending 3 cycles of treatment funded by the NHS, only one shot is allowed to couples here. Now the local clinical commissioning group are proposing to end this entirely. I know several women who have successfully conceived thanks to IVF funded by the NHS. One of them told me; 'I know firsthand how utterly devastating it can be to find you are unable to conceive naturally. The years my partner and I spent fruitlessly trying for a baby were beyond comparison the most difficult experience I have been through. I can’t express the relief when we were finally referred for fertility treatment on the NHS, or the joy when it worked. Fertility is a health issue and the NHS exists to look after everyone’s health. Treatment for infertility shouldn’t be something that’s only available to those who can afford to pay for it.” Imagine this opportunity being denied to people who cannot afford expensive private treatment? The proposals will save the regional NHS £700,000. A very small amount of money when you compare the figure to the £17.6m the NHS has been forced to spend on private management consultants to draw up new 'transformation' plans demanded by the government. We must not allow this option for couples to be ended. Please sign, share and ask your friends to sign, so that we can show that the people of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will not accept this miserable proposal going any further.4,104 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Stuart Tuckwood

Save Gladstone TerraceFor the last 30 years, several community-based charities have been able to operate at Gladstone Terrace Community Centre. Four of them are currently based there. This allows us to provide much-needed and valued services: for example, we run a youth assembly, a crèche and a support service for young mothers. Over the years we have won awards for our services and have helped countless people. However, a couple of weeks ago we received a notice to quit the building. Following public pressure, the notice has been put on hold – for now. But the Council could change their mind any day and kick us out with immediate effect. This could happen despite our efforts: we’ve been paying rent for years, we’ve got a loan to buy the building and have made an offer. But the offer has been ignored. Our offer should be considered and accepted: after all we have strong links with the community and if we are to continue delivering our many important services, it is vital that we continue to operate from Gladstone Terrace which is a central and easily accessible location to the families and young people we serve.1,072 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Adams

Quality doesn't grow on feesIn light of recent events surrounding the HE Bill (outlined below) we, the students of the University of Portsmouth, strongly urge you to listen and act upon our collective opinion. The student body is in full support of the amendments made by the House of Lords as we fundamentally disagree with the link between tuition fees and the Teaching Excellence Framework. As the MP for Portsmouth South, the largest student constituency in the city, we strongly urge you to listen to and act upon our request to oppose further increases in University tuition fees at every available opportunity. Since its introduction, the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has been controversial at every discussion point. The TEF looks to grade HE institutions Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Currently, those institutions deemed excellent by the framework will be allowed to raise their tuition fees in line with inflation. Gold and Silver grades can raise fees at 100% of inflation, and Bronze at 50% of inflation. The consistent rise in tuition fees itself is a barrier to education, and the ranking system fallible to inaccuracies. The House of Lords has made the following proposed amendments to the Bill: To cut the link between the Teaching Excellence Framework and inflationary rises in tuition fees To also cut the link between international student recruitment and the institution's performance in a new Teaching Excellence Framework. We don’t believe it is right to put a premium on excellent education; it should be excellent for everyone. We believe the link between tuition fees, or any potential link between international student recruitment, and teaching excellence should remain removed. We thoroughly agree with the amendments suggested by the House of Lords to ensure that students are not priced out of their education, and all potential students have the ability to access high quality education, regardless of their background. For the benefit of the University of Portsmouth student body, and specifically your student constituents, we urge you to support and vote in favour of the amendments as recommended by the House of Lords at all available opportunities; specifically removing the link between quality and the TEF and tuition fees. We look forward to hearing that you have voted in favour of the amendments. Sincerely, Oludolapo Bolaji, Vice-President Education & Democracy James Belmonte, Union President333 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Dolapo Bolaji

Protect Killearn Hotel (Black Bull)We need to protect local businesses in the area. If we do not, villages such as Killearn will become dormant areas in the suburbs of big cities. We need to attract young people to stay in the area by creating and maintaining businesses and jobs. There is massive opportunity - with the right investment - for this hotel to thrive. Killearn is situated in an outstandingly beautiful area. There is the most stunning Village Hall which is an extremely popular wedding venue. There is no doubt that it would be an even more popular venue if there was accommodation in the village. This is the only hotel and we are considering demolishing it! It would be incredibly sad for current and future generations.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Brenninkmeijer

Homecare for the elderly.Makes me soooo cross, the Government supposedly give £530 per week to care for our elderly to private companies but only pay £60 per week to relatives that are willing to cover it, and now not enough places for the elderly that need it, pay higher rates to family that are willing to do the job thereby ensuring the best care for our loved ones...problem sorted !!!!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Longbon
