Sandilands tram stop memorial gardenMany many lives within the local community have been touched and sadly affected by the incident at Sandilands. It is only right that a permanent memorial is created nearby where Family, friends and further members of the public can come and pay thier respect. It would be the right to do this given the huge sentiment and sorrow within the local community.4,897 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Andy Southern

Why Can't I Live Here?Hey my name is Kara, I am a Care Leaver, & have been in care my whole life. I have been moved around the United Kingdom until I was ten and placed in London with family. This was the best move for me. I now have support from my family, made friends that accepted me & I felt like I finally found a place that I could call home. I will have been living here for 11 years in February but Southwark housing are saying I'm not entitled to social housing. The reason for this is because 17 years ago I was placed in Wigan. I have no connections to Wigan at all. All my life I've been "placed" somewhere. I've never had the choice, I'm 20 years old and I can now choose to stay in London. So why are you denying me my human rights and why do you want me to move to Wigan? Nothing is there for me. From the age of 17 I have been a carer working with elderly and disabled service which I loved. I have now been working as a support worker for service users with mental health. As a young women who has spent her whole life in the care system It is hard to stay on track. With the help and support that I have in London I have been able to and I don't want to lose that. I feel that this issue is important because the majority of children in care, don't have a say or a choice in where they can live especially when they're young. So why as an adult must we suffer even more?553 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Kara Packer

Save North street and Vale street surgeryIf the surgeries close the patients would be dispersed to further away location such as Long Lee and as far as Cottengley 5 to 6 miles away. The transport for unwell elderly patients would be extremely difficult and the waiting list for appointments would be extremely long to these surgeries due to the fact that they would be taking on thousands of patients from north street surgery and vale street surgery. The health and well being for the elderly and people with transport issues is not being taken in to consideration by the NHS. People with communication and transport problems will be be most affected because north street surgery and vale street surgery have a diverse staff to deal with people of all languages and back grounds. Between 20 to 30 people from these surgeries would lose there jobs hard working people trying to help and serve there communities .496 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Usman Hussain

INTRODUCE WORTHWHILE CONTROL OF LOBBYISTSThe attempt to control lobbyists enacted under the Cameron government was a travesty of the reforms proposed by a Select Committee of the Commons. Instead of restraining the activities of lobbyists on behalf of major companies, the new law only restricted the activities of firms which offered their services to commercial enterprises while simultaneously placing heavy burdens on charities, trade unions and NGOs.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GEOFFREY STEVENS

Fight the DWP on removal of disability paymentsPeople like Sarah Stones of St Neots Cambs who is 48 and has cerebral palsy. Sarah runs her own company motivating people. Her crime was writing the wrong date in her diary and missing her assessment. For this her benefits and car were forfeited. This, in effect, would have stopped her working had it not been for the kindness of her family and friends. She is not alone and the DWP is fully aware of what is happening yet upholds the decisions of Capita. There is a total lack of empathy and compassion from them. I met Sarah when I put up a washing line and mended her gate. She is an amazing lady and i feel so helpless that this goverment is treating severely disabled people, who can and want to work, by taking away their ability to do so.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by TERENCE COOPER

Save Busy Berries Preschool, Walmley, Sutton Coldfield.Busy Berries is an exceptional facility in a perfect setting with dedicated and caring staff. It provides a high quality, structured learning experience which is geared up to getting our children ready for nursery and school. We would like the Governing Body to take into account the impact it's closure has, not just on the 30 plus children that it will leave uprooted and without any provision in January but the wider impact that it has on the families in the community. The closure of this service will be a terrible loss to families with children at the Deanery with younger siblings and the wider community.509 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Lindsay Cackett

Social Care CostsIt is important because it fails to connect with reality. It also means that people delivering the service are expected to do an important job for a low wage and are not seen as an essential resource for keeping people in their own homes. I care about this matter as a retired member of a caring profession (nursing). It is time society at large accepted that caring costs money whether done by highly trained professionals or less qualified individuals.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Maureen Lahiff

Save Tower Hamlets Nursery SchoolsNursery Schools in Tower Hamlets and across the country are under threat of closure due to government plans for the future funding of childcare. State nursery schools have very good outcomes with regard to closing the achievement gap and supporting children with special needs. State nursery schools are legally required to employ highly-qualified teaching staff, who are proven to give young children the best opportunities for academic achievement and enabling social mobility.1,204 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Ellis
