Enclosed Dog Park Mote ParkMany towns are now building enclosed fenced areas in existing parks, because they realise the benefit for dogs and the whole community. Chatham has recently built one in the sports ground on Maidstone road, Many dog breeds can't be let off lead such as Huskies for example, and a dog park in an existing park would give them the chance to socialise, train and exercise more. This is not a petition to enforce dogs only be in the enclosed area, who doesn't want to use it keeps walking their dog as usual around the park. Mote Park has the space and would thrive even more if dog owners knew they had the chance to take their dogs there without worrying they will run off. Sign the petition and share so we can get it to the council.344 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Daniella Sargison

Ensuring Personal Privacy and Sexual FreedomPERSONAL PRIVACY: The Digital Economy Bill currently before Parliament will introduce compulsory age verification without guaranteeing privacy protections for subscribers. This omission risks users’ personal details and private sexual preferences being exploited for commercial gain and/or leaked into the public domain. SEXUAL FREEDOM: Consensual adult sex should not be outlawed, yet this Bill will prohibit the publication of depictions of sexual activities that are legal to perform. This Bill imposes a financial burden on free, amateur and niche commercial websites, affecting sexual minorities by denying them from freely expressing their sexuality.1,690 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Myles Jackman

Save Bolsover HospitalThis hospital has been slowly 'run down' by the closure of two wards and now the CCG want to completely close it. This is part of a review of services provided in North Derbyshire which include the closure of other community hospitals. This review is titled '' Better Care Closer To Home'' , however many of us do not believe that the planned changes will work and that patients will receive a poorer service. The plans have been put to public consultation HOWEVER the CCG have NOT notified all households to publicise this as promised , hence many do not know of the proposed changes which include providing care in nursing homes and the patients own home. Meaning family will be involved in the care role, rather than a community hospital following discharge from the Royal Hospital. This hospital provides a service to Chesterfield residents ( not just those of Bolsover) so the result of the closures will be felt by many. More information can be found at : http://www.joinedupcare.org.uk Thank you for your interest.648 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Angela Blair

Save Kingston University Foundation1) Penrhyn Road is a grey, uninspiring university campus compared to Knights Park. The art school would not and cannot blend here. 2) All of the visual arts subjects are based at Knights Park for a reason, the workshops, from photography to print, from 3D to the Digital Media Workshop (DMW), you can find all of it at Knights Park. As a foundation student last year, it took me 3 months to find where Penrhyn Road was. How will foundation students at Penrhyn find their way to us 3) Because of all the visual arts courses being based at Knights Park, there is a strong community of artists and creatives, and the social life at the student union bar, as well as the artistic space of the workshop and DMW last year enabled me to make many friends on other courses who I am still in contact with this year. These lasting relationships would not happen at Penrhyn. 4) The teaching team on the foundation course at Kingston University is immensely talented and vivacious, and there is an equally talented team in each of the departments they serve. Why separate this team from the other creative staff at the university, and why jeopardise this extremely committed team into leaving?975 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Eliot Lord

Save Art History being cut from the A Level curriculumThe exam board AQA have decided to discontinue offering Art History as a subject at AS and A Level from 2018. This is detrimental to students, teachers and the cultural future of this country. Art History is not a 'soft subject'. It encourages an interdisciplinary view of the world, the chance to delve into different civilisations and time periods and gives students the tools to think critically about how art and architecture are part of human experience. By cutting access to the study of Art History before university, fewer prospective students will think about enrolling for such a minority subject. Over time this will lead to a dearth of expertise and interest in the visual arts and heritage, vital for continuing to protect and promote the UK's rich cultural history. There is almost unanimous support from students, teachers, parents, art historians and museum professionals to keep Art History alive in our schools and colleges. Please think about signing this petition to give sixth-formers the chance to participate in this fundamental and enriching subject.18,666 of 20,000 SignaturesCreated by Nerissa Taysom

Help us welcome Syrian refugees and asylum seekers into DorsetMore than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four-and-a-half years of armed conflict, and more than 11 million others have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other. More than 4.5 million people have fled Syria since the start of the conflict, most of them women and children. Neighbouring Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have struggled to cope with one of the largest refugee exoduses in recent history. Only 10% of Syrian refugees have sought safety in Europe, sowing political divisions as countries argue over sharing the so-called burden. Despite this, the county of Dorset has only agreed to resettling 6 families, a shockingly small amount in light of the recent crisis. The county council is coordinating the response from agencies in our area, however no concrete decisions have yet been made. We therefore urge you to sign this petition and increase pressure on the Dorset council to make a positive contribution to the improvement of the accommodation and treatment of Syrian refugees and asylum seekers.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Natasha Linhart

Specsavers - Stop Advertising in the Daily ExpressAnti-immigrant hate crime in the UK has increased fivefold over the past few months (according to the National Police Chiefs' Council). The UK media has, in the words of the United Nations human rights chief, peddled "sustained and unrestrained anti-foreigner abuse" and "vilification, intolerance and politicization of migrants." Migrants are routinely portrayed as less-than-human, and unworthy of dignity and respect. The Daily Express alone is responsible for headlines such as "BRITAIN MUST BAN MIGRANTS" and " SEND IN ARMY TO HALT MIGRANT INVASION." Specsavers: is this your vision? We are calling on you to take a stand, and no longer tacitly endorse the demonisation of migrant communities by the Daily Express. Just earlier this year, the newspaper was forced to publish a correction after press watchdog IPSO ruled that a piece entitled 'Europe's leaders have no plan to cut immigration' inflated and distorted migration figures. The impact of this kind of media rhetoric is not limited to the newspaper stands: it has real-life, divisive consequences. By withdrawing a recent front-page advert from the Daily Express, you have recognised that what your brand appears alongside, matters. We call on you to take this further and withdraw all financial and symbolic support for a newspaper that is notorious for inciting racism, Islamophobia and xenophobia.1,322 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Undoing Borders (People & Planet)

Sweatshop Free Campaign SheffieldElectronics Watch is 'an independent monitoring organisation that assists public sector buyers to meet their responsibility to protect the labour rights of workers in their global electronics supply chains more effectively and less expensively than any single public sector buyer could accomplish on its own'. People & Planet Sheffield believe that the electronic equipment that we all make use of in university and around the world should be sourced and manufactured without the use of slave labour and sweatshops and affiliating to Electronics Watch gives the University of Sheffield a great chance of being a leader in this change.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Vaughan Fleming

Save Clay Cross HospitalThis hospital was built several years ago to support the local area, the building hosts all types of day clinics etc. One ward has been closed for a long time,and now the trust are looking to close down the other ward. In the past people have been discharged from the main hospital to here, one step closer to home. Its been well looked after and is very modern inside, plenty of free parking. The nearest Hospital is Calow which is 2 bus rides away, so it is vital to keep this hospital open for local people. You can read about the plans for better care closer to home at the following link http://www.joinedupcare.org.uk Please support the staff and nurses to keep their jobs, and the hospital open ! My question are we going back in time?1,040 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by KL Rouse

Scrap the bedroom tax for all disabled householdsFamilies where the spouse of a disabled adult are already on an extremely low income so having to pay the bedroom tax, which carers for children where for example one parent may be earning an adequate wage are already exempted from, is not only discriminatory, it leads to further financial pressure on top of the stress of being a carer.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Allan Aspinall

DyspraxiaI want them to have a debate on dyspraxia and I will cripple and it is to people suffering from this condition. Plus I want them to treat it as a separate condition completely independent of dyslexia I would like to see a low where it makes educational establishment such as universities and schools. Because at the moment the educational establishment say a lot of it is the same as dyslexia. But this condition has many more parts to it than dyslexia. I find in many educational institutes that they fail to treat dyspraxia raise a different condition.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Royston Carlmain
