Vote of no confidence in Hyndburn Borough CouncilNot unlike other areas of government, democracy has not been aparant in Hyndburn for some time, however, the recent act of felling the town's two horse chestnut trees in front of the markt hall that were heading for 80 years old was nothing less than an act of criminal damage. In the past the council have blocked access to motor vehicles and filtered them towards 2 large superstores; starving the town centre of custom. They have built an unwanted bus station and even named it after the man that presided over the commencement of the demise of the town. They keep the town in a poorly maintained dirty condition and everything that they do is with the minimum of effort, but felling these 2 beautiful trees is the final straw. This petition is here to demonstrate to the council how we feel about them and their actions. It is not political but we do desire the current councillors to stand down and allow us to elect people that will democratically represent us.816 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by James Hothersall

Stop the Route Changes for the 56 BusThis service is an essential link for the elderly who use it to access the shops in Broadstairs and St. Peter's and Margate, to attend the GP's surgery, to go to friends and generally to lead an independent life. Cutting out the lower part of Broadstairs High Street and taking away the stop in Hopeville Avenue will seriously affect many. Re-routing via Carlton Avenue and Green Lane makes the service much less user-friendly.473 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Matterface

Stop freemasons from being public servantsThe Freemasons is a semi-secret organisation and its objectives are anti-democratic. Its existence seems to be one reason why so many political decisions prioritise business interests (i.e: privatisations etc). Also, local councillors and planners enable developments to be built that are against the public interest. Since any public servant's job is to serve the people, such a membership is a direct threat to democracy. Please share this campaign with like-minded friends and family - Many thanks.116 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Michael M

Roundabout for Beanfield Ave/Cottingham Road junction CorbyThis is a dangerous junction at most time and is really bad at the school run time, sometimes the traffic backs up to way past the St. Brendan's Church and beyond. Also can cause a hazard at the Zebra Crossing. Seen many a near miss here as some people turn left then do a u-turn at the right turning a bit further down.271 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Micheal Gibbons

NO FRACKING IN DERBYSHIREFracking has been proposed in the area of Eckington. The people of the area do not want fracking to occur due to the damages that are linked to it such as Sink Holes, pollution to the water table, heavy plant traffic on small B roads and the eye-sore that it will cause to the local area.305 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Ismail Mir

Government: Fund Alzheimer's Care Costs as promisedThere is currently an estimated £6 billion deficit each year in providing the necessary funding - this means that over 100,000 families are facing financial ruin, adding to the acute misery of seeing their relatives slowly decline. This problem was recognised some 10 years ago, and the Dilnot Commission reported in 2011 with recommendations that were accepted by the Coalition Government in 2013. The Conservative Party, in their 2015 election manifesto, pledged to implement starting in 2016, only for the present Government to renege on its promise within 3 months of taking office. The key points in this commitment were: · A cap on the patient's financial liability for care costs set at £72,000 · The level of assets, below which patients are no longer liable to pay, raised from £23,250 to £118,000 · By 2024, up to 100,000 more to receive financial help with their care costs The BBC Today programme ran a number of features during the week of February 6th, illustrating how the current policy is having drastic effects on families, tearing them apart with heartless bureaucracy. I took part in one of these programmes, describing how I had to pay nearly £400,000 for my late wife's care costs over 8 years, repeatedly refused help by NHS Continuing Healthcare over 5 years. I was only one of tens of thousands trapped in the 'No Man's Land' between the NHS and Social Care funding.921 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Peter McManus

Save our Island of Sark from Chief PleasWe have seen our population dwindle from over 600 people in 2010 to around 420 people in 2017.Whole families with young children have been forced to leave the Island to seek work elsewhere. There is widespread discrimination in the workplace towards anyone who has dared to openly criticise Government members or fails to toe the one party line. We have a collapsed economy and outside investors reluctant to invest in our Island due to anti business attiudes of our Government Many older people and younger families cannot afford the expensive private medical insurance required by all who live in Sark Most of us have no access to legal aid or representation . We have no professional police force or customs officers leaving us wide open to the infiltration of criminals and terrorists . We have unqualified Judges and Constables with no legal training, We have no independent complaints authority to complain against the actions of these people in authority. Elizabeth Truss most of us are British citizens the same as yourself but you refuse to acknowledge our plight or help us. And guess what we are not thousands of miles away in a far off land but just approx 170 miles from your Westminster office95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Name Hidden

Save Martin Mere from FrackingMartin Mere is a unique bird sanctuary of international importance and is located in a designated Fracking zone under PEDL licence 165 (south). Fracking in the vicinity of Martin Mere with dangerous chemicals and explosives used in this process would destroy the delicate infrastructure that has made Martin Mere the unique bird and wildlife sanctuary that it is today. As Fracking progresses in Lancashire from the Fylde downwards Martin Mere will soon face destruction unless public outcry makes the government make this an exclusion zone.1,112 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Brian Young

Let Hoops and Loops (LGBT Asylum Seekers and Refugees) keep their name.Hoops and Loops is a support and social group for LGBT asylum seekers in South Wales, established in 2015 with DPIA, and became associated with Race Equality First in 2016. The group have established an identity under this name, and are recognised in the community. They are not formally incorporated in to Race Equality First, and having decided to no longer be affiliated with REF are being told they cannot keep their name and threatened with legal action. This is intimidation, and is harmful to members of the group and their identity as a group. They must be allowed to keep their name.133 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Lindsey Nickolls

HOLD B&NES TO ACCOUNT - stop the cuts and costly Park & RideWe do not believe that the current leadership of B&NES council is consulting its residents in a meaningful way or genuinely listening to their views. It is also taking decisions that will cost millions of pounds of public money without producing proper business cases and without appropriate transparency. The council is planning to spend between £14 million and £17.5 million on a Park & Ride that its own documents show will not help congestion or pollution in the city and which could put in jeopardy Bath's World Heritage status. We believe that, by pursuing this plan, traffic will worsen as the city grows, and there will be no money left for tackling Bath's current chronic air pollution. The council is planning to spend this money on a Park & Ride at the same time as it is cutting valued services without consultation - including the arts and Bath central library - which are vital to the city's reputation and economy, and to its residents' well-being. *Defra Local Air Quality Management Policy Guidance (PG16) 20161,733 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by BATH SAY NO
