• Reintroduce Driving and Topographical Knowledge Test
    1) Well being of PUBLIC SAFETY such we carry vulnerable adults (lone women drunken people male and female also children. Drivers are seeing their earning potential being progressively eroded to the extent that service levels and PUBLIC SAFETY are being undermined totally. 2)Therefore the drivers have to work longer hours or more just to make ends meet. As well as being bad for their health, lack of rest and sleep puts lives at risk and again PUBLIC SAFETY being put at risk. 3)Drivers aim, through negotiation, not only to improve their living standards (many of them earn less than half the minimum wage on a self-employed basis) but also to raise standards, raise the profile of the trade and improve community confidence in the service they offer to the public 24 hours per day, 365 days a year.

  • SAVE OUR NHS. TUC DAY OF ACTION
    The NHS is in a very critical state, The Tories despite their rhetoric are systematically destroying our health service. We all at sometime have to use the wonderful medical services that the NHS provide. We want an NHS that is owned and funded by the public 100%. We can no longer watch from the sidelines and see our most precious service die at the hands of those who wish to destroy it

  • Stop Rushcliffe Borough Council fining the homeless
    Rushcliffe Borough Council have proposed plans to fine homeless people £100 under the 2014 "Public Space Protection Order". Rushcliffe Borough Council believe that the rough sleepers cause a "nuisance" to those who live locally. Fines can be increased to £1000 following non-payment of the original fine. The idea of fining those who already have so little that they are forced to sleep out in the cold is a cruel and heartless act. This is attacking vulnerable persons and does not aid in resolving the homeless issues. Other campaigns have successfully halted other councils from imposing similar fines.

  • Monitor kerbside air-quality on roads close to schools
    Recent research has established direct links between traffic derived air-pollution and impact on human health. Nobody benefits when the only air for breathing contains sooty particles -but young children are especially vulnerable. Its a fact that impaired lung-development, respiratory disease and reduced life expectancy are all a consequence of regular exposure to traffic fumes. Now its time to acurately measure just what is in the air around Welsh schools.

  • Save the art gallery at Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens
    Inverleith House, in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, has been a much-loved and deeply valued public arts space in Edinburgh for well over half a century, first as the home of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, then under the management of the Royal Botanic Garden itself. Given the importance of the gallery as an iconic location in Edinburgh, and a much-loved space both for the people of the city and for international visitors, it seems outrageous that the RBGE management should seek to close it at just a few days' notice, and without public consultation, apparently with a view to exploiting it for more commercially rewarding purposes. Yet the amount of public money invested in maintaining the house as a gallery over the years raises questions about whether the RBG management have any moral right to close it to the public in this way, or have any idea of the sense of loss that will be felt by tens of thousands of people, in Edinburgh and far beyond, who - because of the gallery's unique location - may in some cases have had their first-ever experience of modern art in these beautiful rooms. It is difficult to imagine any more appropriate use for this beautiful historic building than the one it has enjoyed over the past half century; and this petition asks all the key bodies involved - the Board and management of the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, Creative Scotland, Edinburgh City Council, Visit Scotland, and others - to come together, as a matter of urgency, to ensure that this beautiful building remains open to the public as an arts space and gallery, for the foreseeable future.

  • Pay the Roberts family the real value for their property
    Newtown Powys is having a bypass built and the Roberts family have had their home BLIGHTED due to how close the bypass will be once it's built. The property has not been valued correctly and has led to it being undervalued and a very poor settlement being offer. (The family have got an independent local company to value it and it shows that the land agents valuation is extremely low) The family are not asking for anything other than a true valuation of the home. All they are asking is to be treated fair.

  • first round -ten pound
    £10 pounds is the minimum amount for a ticket (as set out in the F.A rules),and as the opposition is a non league club ,coupled with the fact that the middle & upper tiers of the tile choice stand will be closed,thus denying season ticket holders in these stands the right to their seats,it seems a logical option to lower the admission price for this match ,and get more fans through the turnstiles

  • 2 Free Hours Parking At Peterlee Hospital
    The last thing people need to worry about when attending a hospital emergency or appointment is if they can pay for parking! Due to the current charges, parking in nearby streets is causing a danger to other road users and residents.

  • Subsidiary Bus Travel for Senior Citizens
    It is important in society to be independent, be able to work and pay taxes and to support the system that we depend on. To then isolate people that cannot afford own transport how do we cope? Senior Citizens will not be so motivated or stimulated so this can create many health issues. Young people cannot get to work or college this creates a bleak future. Social life becomes zero without transport.

  • Sexual history mustn't be used in rape trials
    Can you imagine being raped? I was assaulted once when I was a teenager. Not raped, but they groped me and threatened me with violence should I continue to fight them. The rage I felt then of being powerless and being subjected to that violation has stayed with me for over 20 years. Imagine if they had raped me and then when it went to court, the lawyers decided that it was relevant to talk about my sexual history however colourful or not it was. Does that sound right to you? What happened to me was without my consent, I said I didn’t want to be touched. But they did it anyway. Whether or not I’d had sex an hour before, whether or not I’d go on to have a threesome days later, does not change the fact that what happened was wrong. If you’re raped, your sexual history is irrelevant and should never be used as evidence to prove a rape. There’s a good article in The Guardian which has driven me to start this campaign, (written by a lawyer): https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/17/courts-judge-rape-sexual-history-ched-evans-case. If you agree with this, sign this petition: consent is key in rape trials, sexual history is not.
