British children are being denied funding from the students loan company if they have not lived in Britain for three years before going to university. This penalises children of parents who are teachers, aid workers and average British citizens working overseas.

The environment needs our protection for the future, for generations to come. If you can't explain to a child why it is OK to continue to dump contaminated silt into a pristine sand and sea shell bedded bay, smothering wildlife including protected creatures like the Pink Sea Fan, then it is time to stop trying to justify these actions. The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has been given a great responsibility - on behalf of us, the environment and future generations. Despite years of campaigning and despite being taken to the High Court resulting in no dumping taking place for the last 13 months, the MMO is about to issue new licenses again. We call upon the Marine Management Organisation to use their responsibility wisely. Would the Rame Head South site - an inherited 100 year old ammunitions dumpsite - ever be taken into consideration as a new dumpsite if an application was put forward now to start using it for the first time in 2016? Of course not! Why? Because it would be ridiculous to do so: too close to shore, devastating sea life, right next to a Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) with many protected species, very near to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and in an area of outstanding beauty - the Rame Peninsula. Do the right thing: STOP dumping in Whitsand Bay - CLOSE the Rame Head South dumpsite. Whitsand Bay in South East Cornwall is NOT a Dump Site.

There have been over 280 successful prosecutions under the Hunting Act as of today, a number that does not reflect the real number of cases of illegal hunting that are not fully investigated. There are far too many cases dropped on account of using the trail hunting false alibi without such alibi being properly challenged. There needs to be several new clauses added to the 2004 Hunting Act so that illegal hunting does not go unpunished. These include; making hunts responsible for their dog's behaviour so they cannot just claim 'accident' whenever their dogs chase wild mammals. The Act's main aim was to prevent unnecessary suffering to wild mammals - inevitable in hunting with dogs for 'sport'. Penalties should be consistent with those in other wild animal protection legislation, e.g the Wild Mammals Protection Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act, More detailed possible amendments to strengthen the 2004 Hunting Act: http://www.powa.org.uk/id88.html Is the ban working? http://www.powa.org.uk/id88.html Keeptheban Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/KeepTheFoxHuntBan/

The policies of your government are causing, the deaths, homelessness, increased poverty and child poverty, among your subjects, with people taking their own lives because they can no longer cope with the way they are being treated by your government, due to welfare cuts,and unfair sanctions, and the spare room subsidy (bedroom tax) increased risk of flooding due to cuts in funding to flood relief. All being done in the name of austerity. But with all the money the cuts are saving them why is this country getting further and further into debt.Where is all the money from these cuts going.your subjects are suffering and dying needlessly as most financial experts agree that austerity doesn't work. This government needs to be stopped before more people die or are made homeless needlessly. This government needs to be stopped before this country has been destroyed beyond repair, they are selling off one of our greatest institutions the NHS, do you really want to be the queen of a country that sees the return of workhorses for the poor because they have completely dismantled the welfare state, a country where the poorest and most vulnerable, and the disabled, can not afford healthcare, because they have sold of the NHS, This was once a great country but it is fast becoming a laughing stock around the world, when a rich country like ours is being investigated by the UN for the treatment of disabled and for child poverty. Please help to defend your subjects from the excesses of your government.

The reason that this is an important issue is because there are many community’s that rely on bus services in Herefordshire. The importance of this is compounded by the reality that most people who use buses are those who are the most vulnerable in society who do not have access to private transport such as those who are retired and/or on low incomes. This issue is particularly significant in Herefordshire as its bus services have been one of the most affected by cutbacks in the whole of the UK. The extent of this is shown by the fact that since 2010 there has been a 49% cut in funding resulting in 13 routes being cut and the reduction of 31 services. Finally, on a personal note this is something that is very important to me as I have relied on bus during my time in education and still do in order to have a social life.

Swindon Council plan to Decommission the following five children’s centres currently provided by 4Children service to achieve a reduction in the budget for this service  Drove  Moredon  Gorse Hill  Pinehurst & Penhill  Parks & Walcot East Instead, create a new family support service running from Penhill Sure Start Centre offering targeted help for families with vulnerable children Utilise the remaining four children’s centre buildings for early years’ education and wider community-based services The two family centres at Butterflies in Abbey Meads and West Swindon Family Centre are not affected by these proposals and continue to be funded in 2016/17 as part of the two year funding commitment made in 2015. This will also apply to the Ladybird Centre, Highworth Please also complete the consultation www.swindon.gov.uk/childrenscentres

The government is drawing up plans to sell off Channel 4, even though the Channels is fully self-funding and profitable. In September, a government official was photographed entering Downing Street with a document setting out options for a sell-off. Since then, the government has refused to rule it out. Channel 4 is a public-service broadcaster quite distinct from the BBC. It offers an award-winning news programme which has shown itself to be impartial and well informed. In January of 2015 the Channel was nominated for the Responsible Media of the Year award at the British Muslim Awards. Given the misinformation and hatred peddled by some media outlets, we need responsible media more than ever. If Channel 4 is sold off, an important, independent voice in our news will be silenced. The government will make money, while the British public will be the loser.

We want all responsible bodies to come together To raise the standards of dog breeding and sales domestically and across Europe - reducing 'puppy farming'. To increase accountability of breeders and vendors to ensure that the highest welfare standards are employed and evidenced transparently. To ensure more collective action is taken which reduces abandonment To work towards a 'passport' system which records a dog's life - including birth details, medical history and ownership.

Every culture should have their own voice represented in the world's media, particularly in public service broadcasting. In 2003 the Cornish language (Kernewek) received official recognition under the European Charter for the Protection of Regional or Minority Languages. In 2014 the Cornish were granted protected national minority status under the Council of Europe Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. This means the Cornish have the same recognition as the Welsh, Scots and Northern Irish.

This is so important, the poor and sick suffer even more from greedy car parking firms and a reluctance of government to do anything about it. Added to this is that we already pay for these car parks through our taxes which we pay for the NHS. It is public land our land. Please consider this petition and make the government listen

Castle Toward has been in public ownership for over 20 years. During that time the public has made extensive use of the grounds for a wide range of activities including walking, cycling and horse riding. Paths in the area date back to Victorian times. Nobody knows what the future holds for the estate. It is now December 2015 and Castle Toward does not appear to have actually been sold yet. Once sold it may eventually be resold, or even broken up, and access to the grounds might be lost. Since May, before the Council had even announced it had a prospective buyer, the Council has been asked to officially recognise an important and popular route through the estate as a Public Right of Way. That recognition will enable the Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society to record the route in the National Catalogue of Rights of Way which will give some protection to access for future generations. Please help to get the Council to finally make a decision by signing this petition. Even better why not also get the Council to take account of your own use of the estate by downloading this form and returning it to the Council. The form contains a map of the Right of Way with some interesting features marked. Just click on the link below (or cut and paste it into a browser) then select download. http://www.mediafire.com/view/1e4uhy3x541qi58/Castle_Toward_RightOfWay_form.doc The form asks for a signature but you can just type your name in and send it to the Council email address at the end of the form. You don't need to live in the area or to have used the route frequently for your form to count. You do need to have used the route without asking permission. The longer ago you first used the route the better, we need to show usage for over twenty years. Ideally you will have used the route shown in the form end-to-end, but use of any part of it helps to show its importance. If you have not used the route then why not visit Castle Toward over the festive period for a pleasant walk and then return the form!
