David Cameron: Spend a day in Oxfordshire County Council's officeIt's great to see David Cameron finds the idea of balancing the books in a council budget so easy! We challenge him to spend a day in Oxfordshire's County Council office and show councillors how exactly he'd protect front line services after imposing massive cuts in council budgets. Councils across the country are struggling thanks to David Cameron's cuts, so we want him show them how it's done, as he appear to have the answers.2,447 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Joshua Byworth

Change Inverness airport's name to Inverness LOCH NESS International AirportThe vast majority of visitors to Britain fly into London, with a list of things they want to see and do. Visiting Scotland is often high on their list. LOCH NESS is arguably the most world famous destination in Scotland. People across the world recognize the name LOCH NESS. To attract more visitors we should capitalise on this. Change the name to "Inverness LOCH NESS International Airport". We will then be competing strongly with Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports. This should also help to make the new Heathrow to Inverness flights busier, thus helping to retain this vital link.108 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Feltham

20's Plenty for Stony StratfordStony Stratford is the jewel of Milton Keynes. A mandatory 20mph speed limit will make the town safer for children and adult pedestrians, cyclists and the elderly and vulnerable. 20mph is safer then 30mph. Safer streets encourage increased independent mobility for children and the elderly. It will make our town a healthier, safer place to live. Other areas of Milton Keynes have a 20mph limit. It's important that we demonstrate to Milton Keynes Council the level of local support for 20mph speed limit in Stony.254 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Louise Walker

Introduce Fair Council TaxThe present system is grossly unfair. Everybody benefits from Local Government expenditure but only a few have to pay, and then regardless of their income. Many of the poor subsidise many of the rich. Sharing a home should not exempt any of the occupants from assessment/payment.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Len Bell

Open up empty buildings to shelter the homeless in UK this WinterI have felt compelled to start this petition since meeting a homeless lad in our local train station one night, there is a piano set up at the station, I've no idea why, probably for us to entertain ourselves while we wait for yet another delayed or missing train, anyhow, this young homeless lad, his bedding wrapped around his shoulders sat at the piano and played like a professional pianist, he moved me to tears...sadly it was reported recently that the lad had passed away on the street where he had gone to sleep. Homelessness can happen to anyone at any given time, it can come from a variety of situations, young people leaving home because of abuse/familial breakdown, being thrown out, relationships breaking down, bereavement, domestic violence, job loss, rent arrears or a lot of the time just because of bad/greedy landlords. According to statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Governments Rough Sleeping in England has risen by 55% between 2010-14 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/407030/Rough_Sleeping_Statistics_England_-_Autumn_2014.pdf I'm sure you will agree with me that this is unacceptable and will see the urgency to act immediately to remedy this shameful situation otherwise how many more lives will be lost as the winter months fast approach? Please join me in telling David Cameron and the Conservative Government that instead of passing laws to criminalise homelessness they should be treating this social ill as the moral crisis it is, open up empty buildings this winter to accommodate homeless people.2,112 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Ellen McNay

West Berkshire Mencap's Disabled Children's Short Break Funding CutsFamilies of disabled children who attend After School Club, Youth Club, Holiday Play Schemes, Residential Holidays, Saturday Clubs and Overnight Breaks at West Berkshire Mencap do so out of sheer necessity. West Berkshire Mencap support the most complex and vulnerable of children who quite literally have no other respite options. These short breaks enable families to cope with day to day life and in most cases, enable them to spend quality time with their other children who are often overlooked due to the time. Parents must invest to meet the care requirements and demands of their disabled child. Parents also use these services to enable them to access social activities, maintain friendships and relationships, access further training or to have down time to recuperate so they can continue to care for their child at home.3,725 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Paul Pointer

Open up empty buildings to shelter the homeless in Teesside this winterTeesside has been hit severely by the actions and inactions of this Government. There are increasing numbers of the homeless, including those with long term mental health difficulties and ex Forces personnel. We should show our humanity by supporting these at this difficult time and providing them with on site statutory services to assist them.370 of 400 SignaturesCreated by David Abrahams-Edley

Give asylum for Abu Shuja's familyISIS is the most brutal terrorist group of our time. Under the guise of religion, they murder, rape, pillage, and enslave, destroying whole cities to achieve power and control over new territory and natural resources. Victims are forced to convert to Islam as the group slavishly follows a perverted version of the teachings of Islam to suit their agenda. In August 2014 the terrorists invaded the lands around Mount Sinjar in Iraq, home to the minority Yazidi people. They slaughtered males of fighting age and abducted women and little children to be sold as slaves. They separated families and took young girls for their own sexual gratification, the young boys were forced to become their trainees. The captives have had no one to count on for help but their families, who might be blackmailed for thousands of dollars in ransom. Most of the time, however, surviving relatives never even know if their abducted loved ones are alive or where they’re kept. In this awful situation, one man stood up against ISIS and its reign of terror. A former smuggler, Abu Shuja, uses his extensive covert network throughout Iraq and abroad, to take back Yazidi captives from ISIS. He organises and takes part in rescue missions, saving the abducted from terrorists and reuniting them with their families. He has saved about 380 children, women and girls by now. He estimates that about 2,700-2,800 people are still being kept hostages by ISIS. For that, he risks his own life every day. Not only is he in danger of being killed or captured during the operations, he also receives regular death threats; but he still can’t give up, he knows he is the only hope for so many people. His courage comes at a price; to protect his family, Abu Shuja has had to part with them and send his wife and children to safety abroad. Abu Shuja's family was arrested while being smuggled from Turkey to Bulgaria. They are now one of many refugees from Iraq and Syria seeking asylum in Europe and now their lives too depend on the kindness of strangers. Abu Shuja continues to rescue Yazidi hostages from ISIS.104 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Sandra Sataite

Keep 999 services safe in LeicestershireWe need to keep 999 safe from G4S; a private company with a public reputation for incompetent working practices. Especially since 999 is an emergency number which calls for someone who has sound judgement, integrity, professionalism and most importantly cares about their work. If the Leicestershire Police Force Control Centre (FCC) which handles 999 and 101 calls as well as police radio transmissions is relocated from Leicestershire into another County, with it will disappear all of the local knowledge, experience and expertise that currently benefits both Police Officers and members of the public here in Leicestershire. This essential part of front line policing should not be moved to a location or put into the hands of the notorious G4S or any other private company who will run it as a business rather than for the benefit of the people of Leicestershire. The staff of the FCC are rightly proud of the professional service they continue to provide, and it is to their great credit that they put their concerns for the safety and wellbeing of the vulnerable and distressed members of the public who will be affected by these changes before their own worries about job security and terms and conditions of service.3,461 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Karen Fowkes
