• End the detention of children in custody cells for longer than 4 hours
    Last year more than 3000 children spent 24 hour to 48 hours in a police cell due to the inadequate amount of secure accommodation currently provided by local authorities in London in particular . Some have been arrested for very minor offences indeed. The psychological impact on a child of such lengthy detention can be very damaging. It is not acceptable in a civilized society to imprison children for such lengthy periods , it goes against the agreed guidelines which recommend children be released from Police custody and be transferred to secure accommodation within 4 hours after arrest , if there is no responsible adult to collect them .

  • NO! to 50-60 houses at St Ives Town Football Club
    There are serious issues with traffic & parking along Westwood Road. An increase in traffic on this residential road due to this development will exacerbate these problems and endanger pedestrians and cyclists - particularly pupils of St Ivo School. Drainage systems are already at full capacity and flooding is an issue. The proposed plans would increase the risk of flooding and raw sewage discharge onto public footpaths and into private gardens. 50 houses crammed onto the site is not in-keeping with the character of the existing area. There have been no alternative options explored for the use of the land, eg. the expansion of St Ivo School.

  • Stop councils from banning foraging of blackberries and other wild fruit!
    Foraging has been a part of life since humans can remember. The right to forage is not something that should be taken away. Picking wild berries has been a past time of many families when out for a stroll. Taking this right away is ridiculous!

  • PROVIDE PROPER TRAINING TO HELP TEACH AUTISTIC CHILDREN IN MAINSTREAM SCHOOLS
    Too many autistic children are not being taught properly, my son is one. He is constantly frustrated since moving to a new school in Southend, and he thinks he is no longer clever. This is a serious problem and affects his confidence, which then affects his ability to learn. When he can't understand and no one explains things to him properly he is then unable to take anything else in for the rest of the day. All he is focused on is trying to understand what he can't understand and this leads to him getting into trouble for not doing his work.

  • Launch a crowdfunding campaign to get delegates to Young Labour Conference #YL16
    Despite attempts to persuade him privately, Iain McNicol, General Secretary of the Labour Party, is refusing to budge on the cost of Youth Conference. Labour are already charging elected delegates £40 for their conference pass (seven times the national minimum wage for most young members), this is without provision for accommodation or travel, meaning in reality the cost of Youth Conference will come to £200 or more for most delegates. This is the first Youth Conference in two years and the first youth elections conference in three years. Delegates have been elected by the entire youth membership regionally to represent them at #YL16, the lack of funding to get delegates there is pricing young members out of democracy and only the Party can resolve this issue. Unless this issue is resolved, Young Labour's democracy runs the risk of looking like that of pre-universal suffrage Britain, in which only those with wealth will have the right (or ability) to vote; the Chartists, whose struggle led to the creation of the Labour Party, would not be impressed.

  • Reinstate the four hour parking charge in Leominster before the town dies!
    On February 1st 2016 Herefordshire Council implemented new parking charges across the county. These included the scrapping of the four hour £1 charge and the introduction in it's place of a £2.50 24 hour charge. Whilst this is great for people using the car park whilst they work in town all day it is not so great for those people who only want to 'pop' into town for half an hour to get some shopping or visitors coming for lunch. The town's traders struggle already as things stand in a very competitive market and the excessive charges for car parking will, potentially, put visitors to the town off. We need to save our town centre and reintroducing the £1 charge will go some way to doing just that.

  • Stop the cultural asset stripping of Bradford's National Media Museum
    The imbalance in cultural spending between London and the rest of the UK is inexcusable as it is. This move will only exacerbate that imbalance. The UK's national collections are supposed to be or the benefit of all its citizens, not just the minority who live in London and the south-east.

  • Shut down Roosh V meetings in the UK
    As he spreads his hateful speech and guides people on how to exploit, manipulate and rape women, he's putting the welfare of women at risk. He needs to be stopped by all genders, within our communities. Having written a number of jaw-droppingly offensive blog posts and published books, Roosh V believes that men should stop asking for permission, and that alpha males should slowly break down the confidence in women to get what they want. He is a hugely dangerous individual. His fans have extensive forums online, detailing where to 'pick up the easiest girls' in each city, naming bars, venues and strategies. Roosh V needs to be stopped. Please sign.

  • Reinstate Loughborough Hospital Bus Stop
    The hospital offers both inpatient and outpatient care, as well as an Urgent Care Centre. With limited onsite parking, access to the health and care services offered at the hospital has become a major problem to elderly patients and those with mobility issues or without transport. Mental Health services has just been moved to the site, meaning even more patients use the hospital. Local bus companies need to be held to account for providing a service that meets the needs of customers and this includes maintaining adequate transport links to our local hospital for patients with accessibility needs.
