• 16-18 year olds should have a say in our future relationship with Europe
    Britain will not leave the EU for at least 2 Years, by which time all these people will be eligible to vote under the current system. The Scottish referendum is a successful precedent. The turnout amongst registered 16-18 year olds in the Scottish referendum was 75%, proving that this age group are motivated and engaged in significant political decisions likely to have a dramatic effect on their future. My daughter is 18 and the referendum has been a constant topic of conversation amongst her school friends over the last few weeks. She voted, but many of her friends, who felt strongly about the issue were powerless to influence the decision because they were not eligible to vote. It is their generation that will feel the effect of this decision more keenly than mine or that of my parents, who have, by all accounts, been the main driving force behind our decision to leave. We should let these well educated and motivated youngsters have a say in the future of their country.

  • Save Watford Play Services
    This proposal by Watford Borough Council puts access to free, staffed play provision at risk. If the proposal is accepted by the cabinet the current facilities will be removed, the staff made redundant and the Adventure Playgrounds will be replaced with fixed equipment structures. Playwork provision exists to enable children to take reasonable risks in an environment where they feel secure and supported. The Play service in Watford stretches well beyond the physical space of the two adventure playgrounds, having run outreach projects in many local school, parks and housing estates. The staff are well qualified, experienced professionals who work with children to support them to take ownership of space. Many of the local children would not have been successful, remained in school or achieved their potential were it not for the support of the Playworkers across the borough. Some children have grown up using this service and have gone on to manage other services around the country, providing support and care for the next generation. The staff advocate for children's rights as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which was ratified by the British Government in 1991. Watford's play service provides children from disadvantaged backgrounds- and their families- with space to grow, learn about themselves, learn about the world around them, develop social skills, make new friends and have experiences they simply cannot get from going to a park with their parents. The Watford Adventure Play service offers children the opportunity to get away from home and school, it provides space to engage with nature and play with elements such as fire and water. Loosing this service would have a huge impact on the standard of living for local families, it could force some parents out of work as they may not have access to affordable childcare. It would also lead to children loosing freedom of movement, and freedom of choice, as the current replacement options being offered by Watford Borough Council are services that charge for children to access them, and only cater for those 11 years old and under. Childcare facilities and holiday clubs are not a suitable replacement for an Adventure Playground, and fixed equipment parks (not matter how exciting they are perceived to be by the adults who decide to provide them) make poor substitutes for open access, staffed play provision.

  • Stop the closure of four hospitals in South Devon
    A lot of people work in all those hospitals and many would lose their jobs and the patients could be transferred to those community hospitals that aren't near their homes and families.

  • Keep the UK in the EEA
    EEA membership allows for the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the common market. All this would be lost if we were to leave the EEA.

  • Protect the rights of existing British and EU residents to remain
    The 'Brexit' negotiations are likely to take considerable time. In the meantime EU citizens in Britain and British citizens in EU countries are suffering terrible uncertainty. The Prime Minister has said there will be "no immediate change in your circumstances". That is not enough. My 76 year-old father, who is living on a tiny British pension in France, is frightened that his healthcare rights will be removed or made too expensive. My friends of various EU nationalities are worried about their future in Britain; will they be allowed to remain indefinitely? Will they face discrimination or new barriers in their everyday life. A humane society that cares about its citizens must move quickly to allay these fears

  • Political Campaign Claims to be Independently Fact Checked before Use
    The EU referendum was a disgrace, both sides exaggerated and misled despite the particularly serious nature of the decision. Moreover, the Leave campaign was founded almost entirely on deliberate misrepresentation and creating imaginary fears. Democracy can only work with fair and accurate information and must not be reduced to who has the best marketing and manipulation strategies.

  • Divert £1bn to the NHS from the banks
    We have voted to leave the European Union. Right or wrong, there it is. With the news this morning that Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, will make £250 BILLION POUNDS available for the banks to keep the financial markets of the UK stable, we are all complaining that the promise to divert much needed funds into the NHS was just rhetoric. Our Nation Health Service is falling apart. If this money is available to aid stability we should use a small amount of it wisely. The NHS is desperate for a cash injection, the banks are not. This petition is to the British Government, to supply the NHS with much needed cash to stabilise a true British achievement. The banks do not need ALL of the money and with the lies told for the leave campaign, its about time the people who devote their lives to helping others keep their health got a bit of a breather.

  • Call a General Election Within 6 Months of the Vote to Leave the European Union
    Without a general election, only 150,000 Conservative Party members will have the power to decide who the next Prime Minister is, and by extension the team who will negotiate our exit from the European Union. This is unacceptable. The EU referendum has proved that this country is deeply divided. Now is the time to allow people to try and come together behind a particular vision of post-Brexit Britain. The binary nature of this referendum has been divisive -- only a general election is the right way to try and build bridges to the future.
