Save the Somerset Pub in MarstonThere has been a pub on the site of the Somerset since the 1800s. It closed its doors in 2014, and is now the last pub standing in New Marston. A group of local residents are now campaigning to save the pub. The iconic building is one of its kind in the area: a 1930s inter-war public house. Historic England have campaigned to list and protect suburban pubs, which are under threat and closing at a rate of 27 per week. Marston has already lost The Plasterers Arms, The Jack Russell, The Friar, The Cavalier, The Three Horseshoes, The Bricklayers Arms, and The White Hart, which have all been converted to other uses by property developers. We urgently need community spaces as well as housing, and pubs are an important and irreplaceable part of our heritage. If the Somerset is lost there will be no pubs in New Marston - an area of some 4000 residents. Marston is in real need of public spaces for eating, drinking and meeting. Many of us know and love the Somerset, and remember it as a thriving pub. We have come together to lobby local government to recognise the importance of preserving our last pub and to campaign to see it re-opened for community use.746 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Susannah Wilson

Insurance policy documentsMy daughter recently was traveling and was involved in a bad car accident. When it came to claiming there were hidden clauses scattered throughout her travel insurance policy that were difficult to find and understand when you did. There was no explanation of what documents we would be required to produce and as soon as we produced one they would ask for more, every time we sent document/paperwork they just would find something else they required the stress this has created has affected my daughters recovery2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andy Assan

Put the seats back at Tarbert bus stopDistances in Harris, unlike Barra, are huge. It is very important, therefore, that people can wait for a bus in some comfort. At this very moment the Western Isles are being buffeted by high winds. Having to travel any distance is uncomfortable, but Stornoway is a long way away from Tarbert. From the West Highland Free Press "Council slammed for removing seats from Tarbert shelter. Elderly residents in Harris have complained over a situation in which they are having to wait for long period for a bus connection to Stornoway - and without proper waiting facilities."249 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Peter Colledge

Stop Police and Crime Commissioners governing the Fire ServiceThe Fire and Rescue Services are there to provide humanitarian services, without any judgement on any citizen in the UK. Grouping that service with an enforcement authority will damage the good reputation the fire service has with the public at a time when they need to decern between the two. The obvious choice would be to create stronger ties between the Ambulance service and the fire service but for some reason this is not even a consideration. It would surely be better for fire crews and paramedics/technicians to be sharing working skills than that of fire fighters and police officers.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Halderson

Stop Ordnance Survey & Migration Lawyers ads on #Muslimban Cheerleaders BreitbartBreitbart News Network has been a cheerleader for Trumps presidential campaign and continues to promote his far right agenda - applauding the #Muslimban, slurring opponents of the ban and supporting French National Front leader Le Pen's plan to bring the ban to Europe. After we started this petition Newman University pulled their ads from #MuslimBan cheerleader Breitbart Media. Stating 'our values of social justice and the common good are extremely important to us'. Ordnance Survey and UK Migration Lawyers should not be paying for adverts in racist far right publications. We call on them to pull their ads from Breitbart immediately.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Undoing Borders

#keepmissdellowOur education will be compromised if Miss Dellow is not our teacher. She is a teacher who is kind and humane and most importantly she can teach exceptionally well We believe Miss Dellow should remain a teacher at Whickham School; she is the best teacher we have and we believe it will benefit our education and future if she remains as our teacher. She is kind, nice, hilarious and simply has everything a teacher should need and more. She puts in so much effort and simply does everything she can and she is so passionate. If you listen to what some people say about her you will understand how much of a great teacher she is and an asset to Whickham School.513 of 600 SignaturesCreated by WE LOVE MISS DELLOW
