• Meal Deals for *Vegetarians*
    Their offers are all about a meat, chicken or fish choice as the first course, rarely is there a non meat choice and when there is, it's always pizza ! Statistics show that there are more non meat eaters now than ever before, why haven't the supermarkets used this opportunity to increase their sales ? I have personally contacted the local supermarkets, all of which are national chains and asked this question, they have always been very polite and say "I'll pass your question onto the relevant department" but I'm still waiting for there to be a positive outcome... Because like all consumers, non meat eaters are missing an important and equal opportunity.

  • Develop the Brownfield sites in Worthing
    Not only will this ease the housing burden on our town with the potential for several hundred new homes it will improve the general outlook of the town to visitors and tourists. Teville gate has sat in ruins for 20 years and is in dire need of investment. The aquarena site is again another key gateway to the town and new housing will improve this area. Union place could become a new key entertainment hub with cinema complex, eateries and some housing. Not only will this create jobs but will also help those who own business in the town centre with the extra influx of potential customers and newer, improved retailers. We have already seen the potential new brands coming into the Montague Centre and want to continue to see an influx of brand names. These names will hopefully help our locals to choose to shop local as opposed to spending in Chichester, Horsham, Brighton and other towns.This will allow us to employ more people and continue to support the local economy. As a town we have huge potential and we would like the council to start improving plans so we can all work and aspire to becoming a better Worthing

  • 20's plenty in Wimbledon Village!
    Reducing the speed limit will make the Village a safer place for all users Increasingly it is accepted that 20mph speed limits save lives, and they are being implemented on roads across many London boroughs. Where cyclists and horse riders must share space with motor traffic, reducing the speed differential is important: both for reducing the risk of death and injury, and for creating more pleasant cycling, horse riding and walking environments.

  • Get Nigel Farage off LBC
    Nigel Farage’s ‘breaking point’ poster was very similar to Nazi propaganda, and his message is racist. No radio station should be giving him a nightly slot. Please sign or share this petition.

  • Stop Plans to Build The Watch House Garden Cafe at the Beautiful & Historic Spanish Battery
    My family and the majority of the residents have lived at the Spanish Battery for over 30 years. My parents and the neighbours were drawn to the area for the peace and quiet and of course the amazing views! This is a small haven less than 5 mins walk from the hustle and bustle of Front Street. Many visitors to the area comment on the tranquility of the place and are amazed to find such a quiet spot so close to front street. As a Tynemouth resident and as someone who has worked in Tynemouth for over 10 years I understand the importance of tourism and boosting the economy in the area. Whilst we are more than happy to welcome visitors and share the beauty and tranquility of the area some things need to be left untouched. There are over 25 places to go for a coffee and an abundance of food and drink establishments within an easy 5 minute walk of the proposed location. In order to proceed, the development relies upon the purchase and excavation of a large area of Public Open Space currently owned by North Tyneside Council. The main build will take at least 10 months with the closure to the public of the surrounding area! The construction project for this would be huge and have a rather negative impact on the environment - it would involve excavating to a depth of 6m over and area of 660m this equates to minimum of 4000m3 of earth - more than the size of an Olympic swimming pool! Concrete is one of the least environmentally sustainable materials and the concrete required for this project as a minimum is approx 1000m3. Excavation and concrete alone will involve over 1000 wagon loads of material It is important for people to be aware that one of the developers of the proposed new build has already had ambitious plans for a large residential property refused on this exact site in 2011. The council refused this on the grounds that it would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the conservation area and on the setting of a listed building - we feel strongly that this must also be applicable to the new proposal. Myself and the members of the Spanish Battery Association strongly oppose this idea. Please sign and share this petition to show your support and help preserve part of Tynemouth's History. Lets not ruin this outstanding area! ***Please be aware that since writing the original petition the developers have changed the plans and the current plans do not contain the word "function room". Current plans do say there will be "special occasions" although there is no indication as to what these may be***

  • Don't Evict the Pennie Family
    They recently lost their Mum and having previously lost their Dad, the Council proposes to evict the family on 16th January 2017 citing this was succession inheritance of a Council home which can happen once (or more depending on the terms of the tenancy agreement) but Mrs Pennie was already named on the tenancy agreement so the family do not believe this was succession inheritance. Further the council has not yet provided the family with a copy of the tenancy agreement under the Freedom of Information Act to allow them to seek full legal advice with just 9 days before they propose to evict. So that the Pennie family can remain in the family home which they have lived in for over 38 years and let them focus on their grieving rather than worrying about being homeless. Also, so that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

  • Save Springfield Park bowling green and preserve wildlife!
    Now we have a chance to get it up and running again and improve it with a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. But he only way we can do this is to generate interest in saving the green for its original purpose, so please sign our petition and show us your support, especially if you are interested in playing too. Unless we show support, we could lose it forever. There are larger plans for the park under HLF application - such as restoring and improving the large white house with its cafe, and reopening the greenhouse area. In consultation with the council, we largely support these plans, and of course want the HLF to help our park, but not destroy a precious area due to lack of interest in the green. Keep the green green! Save it and share it! Please sign our petition now! Thank you. Park users and local residents.

  • Don't fine people for begging in Kettering
    The idea of fining those who already have so little, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold or ask for food and money is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable people and does not resolving the issues homeless people face. Other campaigns have successfully stopped other councils from imposing similar fines. This campaign is based on this information from Kettering council's website: http://www.kettering.gov.uk/downloads/file/7211/pspo_order_25_july_2016 If you have anything that suggests that Kettering Council are no longer able to fine people for begging then we'd love to hear more from you, drop us an email at [email protected]

  • Islamophobia and sexism has no place in the BBC or Britain
    The Real Housewives of ISIS is an extremely distasteful and offensive show. It is Islamophobic by how it depicts Muslim women, regardless of them being related to ISIS. The show stigmatises women and symbolises acts of everyday sexism suffered by women across the UK. Satire is created to fight against oppression – not feed into sexist and Islamophobic rhetoric. Muslim hate crimes are mostly carried out against women – this show will further fuel hate in Britain towards women in hijab and niqab.

  • Make Hampshire Constabulary act on all reports of dangerous driving
    This is important because the lives of myself and hundreds of other vulnerable road users have either been put at risk, altered by injury or taken by dangerous drivers, who then face little to no repercussions for their behaviour. At the moment, unless there's a collision, the force will take no further action, claiming that anything less doesn't meet the CPS threshold for dangerous driving, despite the CPS and Road Traffic Act 1988, who say that it's dangerous driving if there's a risk of injury or serious property damage.
