Is British milk, sustainably farmed, worse for the climate than soya milk from beans grown on cleared tropical forests and transported half-way round the world? Labelling would help us to make suitable food choices to reduce our climate impact.

The future of Leamington's landmark buildings is again under threat. Warwick District Council has already given control of these properties to a private developer and their very ownership is now potentially at risk. We want to take back control. Verbal promises are not adequate. We need a solid commitment that they will remain in public ownership, for our community and for future generations.

This chariot is an essential piece of Kali Amman Temple's annual celebrations. Kali Amman Temple is the only temple dedicated to Kali in the United Kingdom and a very important part of the Tamil community in the UK. The ability to hold traditional celebrations is deeply important for the Tamil community and this particular artifact means a great deal to everyone involved. Though the six-metre-tall chariot has been (quite visibly) housed in the same back garden for nearly a decade, this year the council served a planning enforcement notice to have it removed. Technically the chariot is slightly taller than the house whose garden it occupies, but it is not taller than the next-door neighbour's house. More importantly, neighbours have already written to say that they don't mind having this beautiful religious artifact where it is. Why is the council demanding changes now, when the chariot has been in the same location for nearly a decade? The chariot is made of wood from Sri Lanka and needs to remain in its current location so that a carpenter with the appropriate skills can maintain it. Properly maintained, it can last for generations! The chariot procession is designed to make temple functions available to everyone, including those who might be unable to leave their houses or who might not feel confident coming to temple. It is a festival specifically designed to include EVERYONE, and allows local residents to experience a bit of Sri Lankan culture and connect with their Hindu neighbours. Council paperwork seems to indicate that the chariot is being viewed as an industrial item, when in fact it is a religious one! As Waltham Forest celebrates its year as the first ever London Borough of Culture, many are wondering why such a deeply treasured cultural artifact, representing peace and hope to the community, suddenly cannot be accommodated? Don't rob the Tamil community of this precious religious artifact!

While school uniform is an important part of school life and community, many school uniforms are so expensive that many families are spending hundreds of pounds per child which puts tremendous and unnecessary strain on lots of families.

Nobody working for the Premier League should be struggling to make ends meet. I’ve started this petition because, as a cleaner at a football stadium I've seen first hand the impact that being trapped in in-work poverty has had on my colleagues and their families. Clubs should follow the example of Premier League clubs like Everton, Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and Crystal Palace that are already proud accredited Living Wage employers. Brighton, have confirmed that they pay the living wage to both employees and contractors, but have not yet obtained accreditation from the LWF. Although some clubs may already pay their employees the real Living Wage, this benefit often does not extend to contractors.The Living Wage Foundation is the only way for employers to independently certify that both their directly employed and, crucially, their contracted staff are being paid enough to meet the cost of living. Smaller clubs like Luton Town FC and Dulwich Hamlet FC are accredited real Living Wage employers - if they can do it, so can all of the Premier League!

Multi-million pound corporation MOWI wants to build the largest fish farm in the UK off the coast of Canna, an island in the Hebrides. The Sound of Canna is one of the most environmentally protected areas in the UK. If the fish farm is built, Scottish National Heritage says it will have significant impacts on the environment, polluting the sea, and threatening birds and marine animals like puffins, porpoises, and seals. Scotland’s wild salmon populations are the lowest they’ve ever been, and building a new fish farm could put more wild salmon at risk of contracting deadly diseases from farmed salmon. Please sign the petition now, and tell the Highland Council to protect the Sound of Canna, and reject MOWI’s proposal to build the UK’s biggest fish farm.

For the comfort of passengers, who are after all paying the same fares as passengers travelling on other tube lines. There are people with health problems, elderly people, children etc, who are particularly vulnerable.

The government is considering plans from Conservative think tank the Centre for Social Justice that could see our retirement age go up to 75. But some jobs are impossible to do after a certain age, and for some of us working anywhere could be a struggle by the time we reach 75. And for others it would mean ripping up the plans we've made for our well-deserved retirement. The age we can all get our pension is already set to go up to 68 - meaning some people will be forced to keep working long after they're comfortable able to do so. And these new proposals would hit some of the most vulnerable people in our society hardest, like people who can’t work due to illness, or caring responsibilities - or people who don't have access to a private pension.

One in eleven children in the UK suffer from asthma which is higher than any EU country and rising faster than any other EU country. Researchers have found 3.5 times the exhaust fumes in lungs of children in low prams compared to what is in their mum's lungs because they are at a higher position. They are recommending higher prams and using side and not main roads. The ongoing cost to the NHS must be huge plus the human misery resulting.

Many think tanks interviewed or quoted in the news present themselves as independent researchers acting in the interest of the general public, when in fact the opinions and research they put forward serve the interests of a corporate rich and powerful elite.

On Thursday 15th August 2019 the firm Cuadrilla started fracking a second well at Preston New Road near Blackpool in Lancashire. Cuadrilla had obtained permission to do so from the Environment Agency. This was despite a recent admission that Cuadrilla's well that was fracked in October 2018 has now suffered cement failure. They have also previously cold-vented gases over local communities. Already earth tremors have re-started. The site is located near to nuclear facilities. Lancashire County Council had voted not to permit fracking but had been overruled by central government. Other fracking sites are being opened up throughout England. Tell the government to ban this dirty, dangerous fossil fuel industry and protect England's green and pleasant land!

Recently the Scottish Government nationalised Fergusons ship yard When asked in parliament to help British Steel the then Prime Minister stated it would be unlawful. If it is lawful for the Scottish Government to do it, there is no reason why the English Government can not step in and help our steel industry. Why must Britain allow a Turkish pension scheme to have our British Steel Industry. Our jobs and Steel Industry need to be protected NOW and our Government needs to step up to the mark and prove that they are TAKING BACK CONTROL.
