• MARVEL CONTEST OF CHAMPIONS UPCOMING UPDATE
    The champions that we use in the game, have had set abilities for a long time, and to go ahead now and turn these abilities on their heads is a slap in the face of your loyal players. What about the players who have spent money on upgrades/sig stones/awakening gems/etc. Only to have their favourite players nerfed beyond recognition. We understand the need to make the game fairer, as was done recently with the downgrade of the Willpower mastery. Even to upgrade some of the lesser champs that are used is understandable. But to lessen the very abilities that these champions rely on, is unfair and unjust. We implore you to halt the upcoming update. Revisit these changes. This feels like a money making move. It may not seem like much to any newcomers to the game, but long standing members can see this is catastrophic. This may lead to many leaving the game. And I for one will be asking for a full refund from Google Play and Itunes for any funds that I have ever spent on upgrading my champions, if this update takes place.

  • Stop the huge rises in SSSC fees for Scottish care workers
    These rises of 66% for low paid support workers and 166% for social workers, when wages rises are again below inflation, are unfair and a disincentive to people joining the care sector.

  • Save Sankey Station
    According to staff manning an information stand relating to the new station it will come at a cost of £18 million. - At least £4 million of this will be found through the local council (local residents). - Around 1 in 4 residents in established Penketh and Sankey will be disadvantaged by the new plans. - Services at Sankey station will be significantly reduced. Still not clear: - What about elderly residents who rely on Sankey Station? - What will happen to Sankey Station? Will it fall into disrepair? We need a say & we need to know more!

  • Bring back nursing bursaries
    We are depleting this wonderful profession. How can anyone expect nurses to pay to work a shift whilst learning. We must value nursing as a profession and encourage men and women back into this valuable profession by giving them bursaries so that they can afford to learn and train. Otherwise we will have no nurses left in this country. We have a major recruitment crisis. Who makes these decisions that affect the health and welfare of our country

  • Homes for people - Homes for wildlife.
    People are increasingly concerned about the pressures on wildlife. Especially in cities like London, many beloved species, such as hedgehogs, sparrows and bumble bees are all visibly declining.   The 2016 State of Nature report found that 7 per cent of urban wildlife species are nearing extinction. [link: http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/State%20of%20Nature%20UK%20report_%2020%20Sept_tcm9-424984.pdf], and the number of hedgehogs living in London has dropped by half since 2000. [link: https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/at_home_with_nature_-_encouraging_biodiversity_in_new_housing_developments.pdf]   People want to help but can an individual make a difference?    We believe they most certainly can, if this scheme receives the backing of the Mayor of London.   Every month in London thousands of homes are bought and sold. The commissions are considerable, and every home letting involves fees paid to the agents too. But what if a tiny proportion of these commissions were set aside to enable the new householder to buy a bird box, a bat box, bee-friendly plants or something else to encourage wildlife in some way? Its a simple concept - Homes for People - Homes for Wildlife!   The home’s new owner could chose which sort of measure to encourage wildlife would work best for them and gradually a whole new range of safe and secure wildlife homes would spread across the city.   Such a project has national potential but needs someone with the Mayor of London’s credibility to help get the various bodies, like the National Association of Estate Agents on board. They have always been painted as bad guys but we can give them the chance to do some real good with this scheme, by making it simple for people to give homes to nature.   If done in an imaginative way, for example by making the voucher a unique token like a coin, redeemable with companies or organisations that sell wildlife-friendly products, the scheme could be expanded in use. Other companies wanting to help people support wildlife could also buy and give away ‘eco-crowns’ and people could pass them on if they can’t easily use them in their own homes.   We could even have a competition, engaging with schools, to help design and name the ‘eco-crowns’ and another for product designers, to decide on the material (re-cycled plastic?) and ensure that the coins could not be forged.   Before all this, the first step, is to get people like the London Assembly and the Mayor to see the benefits and back the concept, and then win the involvement of national bodies like estate agents as it gains wider support. Please sign the petition and help get my idea off the ground. This campaign was started by Maurice Melzak, a zoology graduate, naturalist and documentary film maker for more than 30 years. He first developed the idea in 2010, for Waterlow Park, where he gained the support of a local estate agent and a nesting box manufacturing company. It was featured on the BBC’s Springwatch. Maurice volunteers at Highgate Cemetery where he keeps honey bees and advises on wildlife issues. He obtained a Biffa landfill grant to purchase over 100 bird and bat boxes for the Cemetery which has made a significant difference to the bird life in the surrounding area. (see pic). With the need to save urban wildlife even more urgent, with a new Mayor and new support from politicians, he hopes this petition will get it off the ground and start to make a difference soon.

  • Mooboo: pay your staff!
    Mooboo, the chain of bubble tea shops, ask staff to work a 40-hour unpaid trial shift before they start, but they’re not guaranteed a job after that. This is an outrageous way for them to exploit young people looking for work, and is a completely unacceptable way to treat their staff.

  • Don't move Lewisham blood clinic to Woolich
    Moving the Lewisham blood clinic to Woolich will cause transport issues and much longer clinic waiting times for people who need regular blood tests; Woolich Hospital already has a reputation for jammed clinics. Also concerned that this action is a backdoor way of weakening Lewisham Hospital's essential services to the community leading to a Government argument that Lewisham Hospital is redundant.

  • Transform Recycling in Winchester & Hampshire
    In 2015 we managed to recycle a meagre 35%, while the best performer, South Oxfordshire, achieved 65%. We’re in the bottom 20% of councils in England. You may be wondering if it really matters that much. The truth is that it matters a great deal. Waste is one of the most significant contributors to climate change, contributing a similar amount of carbon as aviation. Many councils across the UK have been recycling more types of waste for years now. Hampshire never evolved, offering the same recycling service as it did 20 years ago. So, whilst many councils have been able to double or even triple recycling we have achieved minimal gains. Hampshire needs to shift emphasis from incineration and collect more types of waste for recycling. Research suggests that in Winchester if all plastics were collected it could increase our recycling rate to 40%, glass 45%, food waste a staggering 63%. Also, if the council did more to encourage residents to recycle correctly we could increase our rate to 66%, placing us in the top five performing authorities. Let’s play our part in reducing greenhouse gases from waste and at the same time give our city something else to be proud of.

  • Companion bus pass
    Other counties such as Nottinghamshire, Devonshire, East Sussex do pay for companion bus passes for carers of disabled people. They get grants for the government to do it. It is a discretionary thing not a mandatory. However, Lack of the findings for other counties is jeopardising people's independence as it is unfair and immoral for carers to having to pay to go on a bus with a disabled person.
