• Make air pollution in Bristol a priority
    Air pollution is a dangerously under-reported health issue in Bristol. Levels of air pollution in our city are in breach of EU law, and a recent report has found that hospital admissions and deaths from particulate pollution are on the rise. This is unacceptable for a city that carries the title of European Green Capital. At the moment, the mere acting of walking around on the streets of Bristol is slowly killing you. The council needs to be doing more to both rectify this problem and educate people about it. https://thebristolcable.org/2016/02/air-pollution-kills-hundreds-of-bristolians-every-year-whats-being-done-about-it/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-35629034 https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/every-breath-we-take-lifelong-impact-air-pollution

  • potholes
    The track is dangerous for anything with wheels. I drive a three wheel mobility scooter and have almost tipped over on more than one occasion using this track. Some bits from Russel Street to the bridge have been filled but the most dangerous part still needs doing from the bridge to the cycle track

  • Call for by-elections in Newark, Clacton and Rochester and Strood after Tory fraud
    Democracy is a farce if cheating in an election is permitted regardless of how late the wrong doing is discovered and whether or not police action is possible. Political parties that gain office through electoral fraud should not be allowed to continue with impunity, they must demonstrate that they have legitimate support of the electorate.

  • Save Our 394 Glossop - Marple - Stepping Hill Hospital Bus
    The bus is the only link between Glossop and Stepping Hill Hospital (Stockport). Withdrawal of this service on the 28th March will result in the total removal of the only public transport link for residents on Glossop Road, Marple Bridge, Lane Ends and Chisworth. The link from the Charlesworth to the doctors surgeries, shops of Marple Bridge and Marple will be lost. Hawk Green will lose its link High Lane / Hazel Grove and its direct link to Stepping Hill Hospital. There are already problems with availability of car parking at Marple Bridge, Marple Station, Marple, Hazel Grove and Stepping Hill hospital. Withdrawal of the 394 service will exacerbate these problems. The service is used by students travelling to Marple Ridge College at various times of the day: withdrawal will restrict students to travel on the peak time college services only.

  • Stop Cutting Essential Mental Health Services in the UK
    Please Read Carefully....Thanks :) I live with chronic depression, associated anxiety neurosis and constant suicidal ideation too, which is unbearable at times,however,these are just labels forced upon me by mainstream psychiatry. I despise being labelled,especially when I feel these are wrong,inappropriate or clinically incorrect,so I'm constantly up against 'the system' (ironically who I've worked for too,in a number of specialist mental health roles,hence my anger at being labelled so seemingly randomly,by a string of locum/passing through psychiatrists who barely know me as a real and wholesome person at all), but I do my best to get by daily with support from friends,former workmates and my army comrades too. I intend to petition Caroline Lucas of the Green Party,to simply realise how essential these services are.There are increasing numbers of suicides daily, particularly where people suffering with PTSD issues are concerned,including all forces veterans and equally as important,as many civilians too, that's a fact sadly. One suicide today is one too many, so let's all fight to stop this now!!

  • 3 Fee Waivers for refugee students
    The current refugee crisis is the largest humanitarian disaster facing Europe since World War 2.  Over 11 Million Syrians have been unsettled and were forced to flee. Once Syrian Students have managed to claim refugee status in the UK, they face dramatic barriers to enter university, as they cannot access student loans and suffer from financial restraint. Generations of students miss out on valuable education to rebuild their future and contribute to society. Our university is rightly proud to host an increasing international student body. Our Human Rights Center has been praised as one of the leading institutions of its kind. We would like to see the university act in a humanitarian way and find ways to support the refugees.   Other universities are starting to play their part: “Four UK universities (UEL, York, Warwick and Sussex) were offering scholarships to refugees. Since then a number of other universities have announced their scholarship and bursary schemes for refugees, including University of Edinburgh, Salford, SOAS, Newman and Sheffield.” In total, more than 26 universities have pledged to support refugee students to study at their universities. Let us join in this proud number: This is a petition BY students, FOR students. We want everyone to fully enjoy their right to education, regardless of the conflicts raging on in the world. Please consider this petition so we can contribute to the humanitarian disaster in what we do best: education.

  • Save the Birnam bus service
    This has heavily impacted on the local community. Many people, especially the elderly in this rural area, rely on public transport for getting around Perthshire and to the major Scottish cities. As a popular tourist destination it also makes it much harder for visitors to reach us by bus. Please sign this petition to show that people value our public transport and how important it is in rural areas.

  • Raise the minimum wage for those doing apprenticeships to a more suitable wage to live on
    £3.30 per hour is not a wage that can be lived on, in fact a person earning this amount of money cannot afford to rent in most places and would even struggle to afford transport to get to where they are doing their apprenticeship. A person working the same 40 hours, as most apprenticeships stipulate, could earn up to four times as much as those who are in apprenticeships, for the same amount of work. It is preposterous that a person on an apprenticeship working 40 hours a week should earn only £120.00 on average.
