Stop Speed in ShottonOne life lost is too many and the people of Shotton want to let the irresponsible speeders know that enough is enough. Pedestrians and other road users need to feel safe in Shotton and the only way to stop speeding is to slow the irresponsible drivers down before another life is lost.293 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Susan McDonnell

STOP the Repeal of RSPCA right to ProsecuteThe Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs want to repeal the RSPCA's right to prosecute in private animal abuse cases because Government say doing so is a conflict of interest with their campaigning and fund-raising this is not the case and is just a cover to pass this through Parliament. If our Government was so concerned with the rise in animal abuses they would invest in the RSPCA to bring about more prosecutions so that RSPCA would not need to spend so much time and resources in campaigning and fund-raising to bring animal abuses to the forefront. I strongly suspect this repeal is to protect huntsmen from prosecution in fox hunting and other blood sports that is banned as it is a well known fact that Government want this important animal protection act repealed. This must not be left to the Crown Prosecution Service to bring about animal abuse cases as those cases will be eroded in favour of more important human criminality and given the pressure the CPS is already under it is right that the RSPCA has this right as the RSPCA around the world does and besides the Police Force have enough to deal with as it is whilst under immense cuts to services themselves. At a time when hunting and various other forms of abuse is on the rise not only in the UK but around the world this is not the time to relax such powers if anything they should be enhanced given that animals have just as much right to live on this planet free from harm and suffering as we humans do.8,116 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Leon Carter

Retain local government-run bus servicesLocal authorities are able to provide rural bus services which would not be viable if under private ownership; they can cross subsidise them from more profitable urban services. Local authority bus services must be an option within the Bus Services Bill. In Nottingham, the Nottingham City Transport has invested in electic buses and hydrogen fuelled transport which is reducing air pollution in Nottingham. They are an award-winning service. The private buses are predominantly diesel.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donald Hawthorn

Greedy landlords in PeterboroughMany tenants are being evicted from their housing association houses and forced to rent privately. Most of the tenants are in work and have paid their rent on time. The private sector landlords are asking these tenants to have an guarantor. Where can they find these guarantors? They are not students or are wanting to leave home. These people are finding themselves homeless because of this. Do not volunteer to be a guarantor as the risk becomes all yours, not the landlord or tenants. Landlords can get insurance to cover the possibility of rent arrears but this perk isn't available to guarantors.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kim Jones

Save 4 Plymouth GP PracticesThese four practices set to be closed are all in the worst off areas of the city. These changes will certainly widen the already huge health inequalities in the city. NHS England say that small practices are "unsustainable" and that there is nothing that can be done to keep them open. This is wrong and based on a "market" view of healthcare. Instead NHSE must work with communities and providers to find innovative ways to keep GP surgeries viable in the areas of greatest need. The decision has been made without the without proper consultation, important decisions such as this should take patients and communities voices into account.975 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Richard Ayres

Save our "Around Poplar Children's Centre"Why we need to save "Around Poplar Children's Centre" - The centre is the hub, bringing together hundreds of parents and providing invaluable services to people of diverse social and economic backgrounds. - The centre has created a friendly, supportive, welcoming environment for parents who can share their concerns, worries and seek guidance from experienced staff - The centre provides not only children play sessions, but vital services such as health assessments, midwifery and psychotherapy, advice on domestic abuse, getting back to work, as well as important workshops on introducing healthy eating and sleeping habits to the youngest members of Tower Hamlet’s community - It is an indispensable resource, helping new mothers beat post-natal depression, loneliness and isolation. - Keeping this centre open will save money by reducing many GP visits. - At this time of unprecedented development and population growth on the isle of dogs, there has never been a greater demand for this facility for new parents in the area. - In fact it is so busy that several times I have been unable to get in because it was so busy. - The staff in the centre, their knowledge and dedication to childcare, supporting parents in bringing up healthy, confident children is second to none As a new mum, with a premature baby girl, the first six weeks were stressful. Then I discovered the Poplar Children Centre, and the caring, knowledgeable and supportive staff who are always on hand with crucial advice and who have made such a difference for me. My baby is now coming up for 14 months old and we visit the centre 3 times a week. We both love the social activities with other babies and mums. The centre has been key in our physical and emotional well being. Meeting other mums at the centre has been an enormous support too, and I have a great sense of belonging to this community of friends. The centre provides facilities that money can’t buy and it is hard to imagine a better alternative.270 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Petra Meinlova

Pedestrian Hazards in AldeburghWith the high proportion of elderly and/or infirm residents, added to the increasing population of mothers with baby carriages, the condition of the pavements in the Leiston Road and Victoria Road areas are extremely poor and liable to cause trips, falls and damage to persons and personal property. In particular the pavement on the east side of Leiston Road from The Drift to Mariners Way and on the south side of Victoria Road from the entrance to Kings field to the junction with Park Road, at the library, are main routes to both the supermarkets, and the town centre for residents of the Plantation estate, especially the supported bungalows.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MICHAEL FISHLOCK

Free Parking for Carers to the elderly and disabledCarers have very little time to make their visits, they earn very little and often have to pay parking fines (as well as petrol costs) for a long journey to half hour job. And not least, their clients suffer if the care is rushed. This lack of parking facility causes a lot of stress to both carer and client.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Hulya Salahi

Dangerous Crossing at Taylor Wimpey Bourne ViewAs you can see on the site plan:- https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/find-your-home/england/oxfordshire/hook-norton/bourne-view Bourne Lane takes a sharp turn at the North end leading to Sibford Road (and Hook Norton Primary School). It is a blind corner and very dangerous, especially in dark/wet/icy conditions. At present (Novemeber 2016) there are no road markings for drivers, and the pavement you have provided is too narrow. The pavement is also overgrown and cut off by bollards making the small crossing area impossible to use. Pedestrians are currently putting themselves at risk to get across the road. This is the route many residence use to walk our children to/from school and concerns are growing as the days become darker and the weather takes a turn into winter. We would like this issue resolved before an accident occurs. Prevention rather than cure. The residence would be happy to walk a Manager of the site through the area of note and discuss the solution to this serious matter. We look forward to your swift response.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Nina Frere

Support Disabled object to benefit changes for support group claimants.These plans stem from REFORM and the Green Paper https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/work-health-and-disability-improving-lives/work-health-and-disability-green-paper-improving-lives You can further object to these plans here https://consultations.dh.gov.uk/workandhealth/consult/ The consultation ends February 2017.It is not clear what the Government's timetable for rolling out these changes are.I have heard reports that some disabled people are already being assigned to work coaches.The government has announced plans to employ a further 500 advisors( to work as work coaches).Trials are intended to go ahead next year when a certain number of claimants of the support group will be asked to attend work coach sessions. We have information that charities are being invited to work for the DWP.The mental health charity MIND have expressed an interest. http://mentalhealthresistance.org/ The government proposes to reduce the benefits of the severely disabled and to subject them to a punitive regime whereby they are forced to aim towards finding work whether they are able to or not. They will be forced to be subject to conditionality whereby they get paid benefits on condition that they attend work coach sessions ,if they do attend their benefits will be cut to JSA levels and governments propose that they can then be subject to sanctions like many unemployed people who are not ill suffer under already. This will affect seriously ill and disabled people,some of whom already are being found wrongly fit for work and have committed suicide. This is inhumane and violent treatment and abuse of incapacitated people. We cannot allow this nor allow the government to dress these proposals up as support for the disabled or any form of empowerment. It is designed to reduce the welfare budget by 12 billion and is part of government strategy to dismantle the welfare state. It is extreme far right policy not Conservatism. Please object to this and get all your friends to object to it. I am one of those affected by these changes, I am physically and mentally disabled having many chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypothyroidism and a mental illness and a spinal misalignment, I am also currently being investigated for possible uterine cancer. I cannot survive on JSA or work and any employer would consider me unemployable. Here is a link to a short video where Charlotte Pickles unveils the plans to attack disabled people and cut their financial support. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p6iBqsuiyk4,416 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Katie Nikiforou
