Clear our pavements of dumped electric bikesLondon's pavements are now awash with dumped electric bicycles. They make pavements annoying for pedestrians, they make them impossible to navigate for anyone in a wheelchair or with a pram. Walk down any major London street and you'll now find yourself running a gauntlet of e-bike obstacles (Lime, Human Forest, etc etc etc), it's getting out of hand. The electric bike companies' business models seem to rely on this chaos they create "disrupting the market". So we're signing this petition to push our Mayor to do something about it. If money is the only motivator for these companies then start fining them each time a bike is dumped in an inappropriate place. Perhaps there could even be a cash bounty for people if they spot a dumped bike blocking a pavement?519 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Robin Priestley

End Discrimination in CricketOver 4000 people provided evidence of racism, sexism, and class-based discrimination in cricket to an independent consultation. The report on these issues found that racism and inequality are entrenched in cricket. Everyone should be able to play the sport they love without racism, sexism or class-based barriers. That's why the independent report has made recommendations to make the sport accessible to everyone - but so far, the ECB has only implemented one recommendation: saying sorry. Enough is enough. The ECB needs to act now and end discrimination.1,397 of 2,000 Signatures

Label media with sexual abuse warningsI am a firm believer in freedom of speech, expression and accessibility for all. However, freedom from responsibility shouldn't exist. Therefore a content warning on media is the responsibility of both the creators and regulators of said content. The reason others should involve themselves in this topic is because according to the NCPCC (2021), 1 in 20 children have experienced some form of sexual abuse. It's estimated that 3.1 million adults, 18-74, were sexually abused as children, before the age of 16 (ONS, 2020). It's likely you might know someone who survived sexual abuse as a child. It's likely you don't even know that you know someone who has survived abuse. Not everyone who was abused can be captured in statistics. I say all of this to say anyone with a traumatic past, of whom there are many, could be harmed by content that isn't correctly and specifically labeled. We need labels so we're in an informed position to decide whether we want to consume any given piece of media. We need this information so we can decide if consuming the media will result in us having a panic attack, a flashback, or an intrusive return of memories.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lisa Crayford

Reinstate Police Station for MorpethToo much petty crime is taking place, as well as more serious crime as police resources are tied up elsewhere, and the criminals know it. Morpeth needs it's own dedicated policing unit that is paid for by the residents of this great town through our Council Tax. Residents are suffering at the hands of petty criminals and losing more than just their valuables. Peace of mind too.162 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Peter Gman

Bring investment in to the Ogmore Valley!The majority of people take pride in our Valley but the average age of those is 50 plus and upwards, now known as Millennials and they stand to be the vast majority of volunteers. We must educate the young that bins are for rubbish, not fires or playthings. Taking pride in your surroundings is a big step in taking pride in yourself and your community. Seeing playfields covered in broken glass, tin cans and plastic bottles and general litter, as well as dog faeces and poo bags dumped anywhere, does not fill people with pride or enthusiasm to venture out and use any community facility available here. What I call a litter train, that could travel down the entire length of the Valley cycle path, emptying well-built and plentiful solid vandal-proof bins along its length that could, if we still had it, use the recycling depot in the Penllwyngwent Industrial estate, helping to create jobs within the valley and not just rely on the goodwill and help of elderly volunteers to promote pride in our communities for all people and visitors alike to use along the Valley length. This in turn could increase tourism by cyclists and walkers alike from outside the area opening up catering jobs, providing food tea coffee etc along its length, breathing new life into once tired rundown vandalised areas.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Glennie

Breaking Down Barriers: Ensuring Education for All Young People.According to research, young people with additional needs are significantly more likely to experience barriers to accessing education. In fact, a study by the National Autistic Society found that 63% of children with autism are not in the kind of school that their parents believe would best support them. Schools and other educational institutions need to be designed and equipped to provide an inclusive environment for all students. For example, schools can ensure that classrooms are accessible to students with physical disabilities, and that teaching materials are presented in a way that is accessible to students with learning difficulties. In addition, there needs to be greater support for teachers and other education professionals to ensure that they have the training and resources they need to support young people with additional needs. This can include providing training on how to work with students with specific needs, and ensuring that teachers have access to appropriate resources and materials. There also needs to be greater awareness and understanding of the needs of young people with additional needs within society as a whole. This means challenging stereotypes and promoting positive attitudes towards people with additional needs. For example, campaigns can be launched to raise awareness of the challenges faced by young people with additional needs, and to promote the benefits of inclusion. Finally, there needs to be greater investment in education for young people with additional needs. This includes investing in appropriate resources and facilities, and ensuring that funding is available to support the needs of these young people. By investing in education for young people with additional needs, we can help to ensure that they are not deprived of an education, and that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential. It is important to address the issue of inclusion within the education system, as young people with additional needs are often deprived of an education due to a lack of resources and support. By promoting inclusion, we can help to ensure that all young people have access to the education they need to reach their full potential. People should join our campaign because it is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of young people with additional needs. By working together, we can raise awareness of the challenges faced by these young people, and promote positive attitudes towards inclusion. We can also lobby for greater investment in education for young people with additional needs, and work to ensure that schools and other educational institutions are designed and equipped to provide an inclusive environment for all students. Joining our campaign is an opportunity to be part of a movement for change, and to make a positive impact on the lives of young people with additional needs. By working together, we can help to create a more inclusive education system, and a brighter future for all young people.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roismi Rajakumar-Mangrove.

Fix the mortgage crisisMortgages are going through the roof, interest rates are increasing and it’s harder than ever to get on the property ladder. The Government and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt need to fix the mortgage crisis that was started by Liz Truss' mini budget last September. A petition signed by hundreds of thousands of us across the UK could push them to treat the so-called “mortgage bomb” as an emergency and take urgent action to help us.6,711 of 7,000 Signatures

Make Taxis More Accessible at Doncaster Railway Station.We believe that the situation can change if some of the bays in front of the station were dedicated to Doncaster Station Taxis, who were established in 1997 on the request of the train company for the ease of railway station passengers. With the proposed changes, the situation can become much more accessible and equitable to everyone. Additionally, we suggest that a fully lit-up visible sign be installed at the new taxi rank to help the public easily spot the taxis. This would provide relief to the passengers who are struggling to identify the taxis they need to board. We urge the Doncaster authorities and LNER to give serious consideration to this proposal and take urgent action to make the necessary changes. It's high time we start valuing the needs of our differently-abled fellow citizens and make our city a more accessible place for everyone.86 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GMB Union North East, Yorkshire and Humber Region

20s Plenty for West Sussex and the rest of the UKBenefits include increased safety for cyclists and pedestrians, more community involvement, less crime and much better physical and mental health. Cycling and walking increases, children are more independent, there is less traffic so better bus flow, and there is a 12% reduction in fuel consumption and pollution and CO2. Research has proven journey times are not increased, as most delays are at junctions and with 20 limits there is less stopping and starting. It is very popular, 80% of people want slow speeds. It is a step towards Net Zero, and 50 in 10, that is 50% cycling in 10 years.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by david kinshuck

No More Deaths: Help put an end to preventable deaths in state custody or carePublic and private bodies have a duty to keep us safe from harm and protect our lives, but every year hundreds of people die preventable deaths in state custody or care. These include deaths of people in police and prison custody, mental health settings and following disasters including at Grenfell and Hillsborough. In response, the public and bereaved families need transparency, accountability and action, so that changes are made to protect us and our families and prevent future deaths. Hundreds of vital recommendations are made following inquests and inquiries. Yet there is no system in place to oversee them or ensure changes are made. Potentially life-saving recommendations are too often forgotten, dismissed or simply not implemented. This leads to yet more preventable deaths and harms. The current gap in the system has serious implications for bereaved families. It also undermines public trust in the UK’s investigatory framework and has a significant human and financial cost. Support INQUEST and the bereaved families standing alongside us in calling for this change, to help protect lives.
