Statue in memory off the Aberdeen Trawling Fleet & the men who sailed in them.As the once vibrant fleet has now long gone it's about time something was done to remember them. Many ship's and men were lost, far too many. For every one man at sea they created jobs for seven ashore. Certainly a big and vital boost to the local economy. Other Ports around the country have erected Statues, Plaques and preserved ships in memory of there fishermen... surely Aberdeen can do the same ? You at least owe to past and future generations......1,838 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Robin Youngman

Don't force Balshaws High school to become an academyNo two schools are alike. But the government doesn't seem to agree. It wants to rush through plans to force every single school in England to become an academy the type of school paid for by taxpayers, but run by businesses, sponsors or trusts. Many teachers and parents are already standing against the plans, saying that they're "a step towards privatisation", ignore local views, and could force some schools to close. One size does not fit all, and local parents and teachers should have a say in the future of our school. ------ If this isn't your local school, click here to sign your local petition, or start one if no-one else has yet: https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/start-a-campaign-for-your-school408 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Mark Walker

Panama Papers: Prosecute Tax EvasionThe "Panama Papers", a massive leak of over 11 million documents from the Mossack Fonseca Company, has revealed a wealth of corruption that covers 4 decades, and may represent millions, if not billions, of Pounds Sterling in lost taxes. Think of all the things these lost taxes could do in balancing the budget, in strengthening public services. This is why any and all wrongdoing relating to the UK must be investigated, prosecuted, and punished.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Broome

How is your Council Tax spent?Every year Local Authorities spend millions of pounds of your money on the purchase of services from private companies. Any attempt to find out how much money is being spent on a specific contract under the Freedom of Information Act is denied on the basis that the information "Commercial in Confidence" Whilst such a defence is legitimate during the bidding process,once a contract has been let then Council Tax payers are entitled to know how much is being spent on any particular contract in order to judge whether or not it represents value for money. Please support this petition to insist that the Minister grants the powers to Local Authorities enabling them to become totally accountable to their electorates10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Millar

Begging should not be banned in WokingBegging is not harmful. Woking Borough Council argue that begging can be intimidating. But if someone feels intimidated, the Police can use existing powers under the Public Order Act. The council also said there is no need to beg in Woking- because there is sufficient help available. However, the waiting lists for NHS mental healthcare, and substance misuse treatment are not short. It is also claimed that many people who beg aren't actually homeless. Of course, lying about your circumstances is fraud and the Police can use existing powers to deal with it. This campaign is based on this information from Woking Council's website: https://www.woking.gov.uk/community/safety/pspo If you have anything that suggests that Woking Borough Council are no longer able to fine people for begging then we'd love to hear more from you, drop us an email at [email protected]1,612 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Luke Buckland

Investigate and prosecute Government officials involved with Mossack FonseccaTax evasion has been estimated to cost the UK between £34bn to upwards of £100bn a year, this is money that is being stolen from our NHS, Schools and other public services. We jail single mothers for fraudulently claiming benefits for amounts that are insignificant by comparison to the people using these tax dodging schemes. The law should be fairly applied to all in society, regardless of their status or wealth.158 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron Flannagan

Stop the development of Lords BushesAny Ancient Woodland should be preserved and unless an avoidable situation arises and should be preserved at all costs.epping Forest should never be used for building homes on . I can find no notice that this is being done and no admission of this plan has been forthcoming . However a walk around the affected area can show that something other than ordinary forestry work is being done , a very large area is being cleared of healthy mature trees.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nick Abbott

Help the Brain Family with their fight to stay in the UKThe Brain family having invested their life savings to make a life in Scotland, have been informed by the UK government that they have to return to Australia. The Home Office have given them 28 days as of Friday 18/3/16 to leave the UK, or face deportation and bans on re-entry. This, and the plights of many other families placed in the same deplorable situation, demonstrates very serious shortcomings in UK immigration policy, that people who are here and are making a contribution to our economy, and who want to stay and live here, are being forced out. Over the years, successive governments have implemented a range of measures to repopulate the Highlands and, thankfully these are slowly bearing fruit. Gregg, Kathryn and their 7 year old son Lachlan Brain have done nothing but contribute positively both personally and financially to the UK. They paid over £35,000 for Kathryn's degree, and have paid over £40,000 in taxes during their time here. Both were employed in jobs that took some months to fill before they were employed. They have kept their end of the bargain. Now, without right to appeal, their passports have been confiscated, their right to work abolished, and the Home Office have threatened to freeze their bank accounts and cancel their driving licenses. They do not deserve to be treated like criminals. All they want is for the Home Office to deliver what was promised when they sold everything they owned in Australia to come to the UK - a two year post-study work visa, giving them the opportunity to establish a working relationship with an employer, and a chance at a longer-term visa. Living up to what was promised is not too much to ask.6,494 of 7,000 SignaturesCreated by Gavin MacGregor
