SUPPORT OUR CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE PAY AND CONDITIONS OF OUR SUPPORT STAFF

There is no evidence they have jobs ready for people to go into. The current turn around for new/renewed claims is over 12 months. You cannot put vulnerable people into work with out the right support for both their mental and physical needs.

Over the past 11 years, All Hallows Community Co-op (AHCC) has been a steward of All Hallows Hall, transforming it into a vibrant and inclusive space that has positively impacted the lives of over 70,000 individuals. Through their perseverance and dedication, AHCC has not only paid over £100,000 in rent but has also invested £150,000 in improvements to the building, making it a cornerstone of our community. The impact of AHH extends beyond its physical space. AHCC has generated over £250,000 through weekly classes, events, rehearsals, and hires. By hosting hundreds of events and successfully warding off two attempts to convert AHH into flats, they have contributed to making our neighborhood safer and more enjoyable for local residents. It is crucial to emphasize the significance of independent community spaces like AHH. Across the country, such venues are closing at an alarming rate, disenfranchising grassroots, DIY, not-for-profit local community ventures. The potential privatization of AHH could have severe consequences on the physical and mental health of local residents, exacerbating loneliness and eroding the vibrant community fabric that AHCC has worked tirelessly to build. Beyond being a village hall of sorts, AHH stands as Easton and Lawrence Hills' largest and most charismatic performance theatre and music venue. Losing such a cultural hub would not only be a blow to our artistic and cultural identity but would also create a void that cannot be easily filled. All Hallows Hall and AHCC have served as a hub of engagement, learning, well-being, and togetherness, with an impressive 10,000 users from diverse social and geographical backgrounds annually. This space has proven itself as an essential resource for the community, enriching lives and fostering a sense of belonging. Given the rich history and positive impact of AHH, we kindly request that the new owners, engage with the community in an honest and transparent manner regarding your plans for the future of All Hallows Hall. We believe that involving the community in the decision-making process will ensure that the legacy and positive impact of this space continue to thrive. Thanks for your support

The richest 1% of people pollute more than the 5 billion poorest. That means while people like us are doing our best to recycle and drive less, billionaires and millionaires are jetting about the place without a care in the world. It’s just come out that the super rich ‘polluter-elite’ are using up way more than their fair share of our resources, right before Prime Minister Rishi Sunak heads to a meeting with world leaders to discuss climate solutions next week. Rishi Sunak could use this opportunity to show leadership and crack down on excessive flyers. While this is all over the news, a huge petition calling for a tax on the top fliers in the UK - not normal people going on a family holiday - could help get this on the political agenda and stop rich people from plundering the planet without caring about the rest of us.

This Black Friday we need to show Amazon that we are on the side of the exploited and underpaid warehouse workers. The best way to do show this is to refuse to buy anything from Amazon this Friday. When the Amazon accountants see the drop in sales this Friday they will realise that their customers have real power to affect their bottom line. This will worry them. Will they feel more inclined to listen to their workers' demands?

Reports say the Government is planning a change to benefits that would force hundreds of thousands of people to find work despite suffering from a range of physical and mental health conditions, and waiting for operations and other treatment. This might not affect you right now, but any of us could fall ill at any time - and with the current NHS crisis this may mean having to wait months for treatment. These changes could force us to work no matter how unwell we are. The good news is that these plans aren't set in stone, which means we have a chance to stop them. If enough of us sign this petition it could convince the Government to do the right thing and scrap these plans for good

We feel that this petition is important because the decision to add further parking restrictions to the village not only affects local businesses to Goodmanham but also hinders anyone wanting to visit the village. The village is in the heart of the Wolds Way and is a prime location in the community for people to visit for Wolds Way walks, to visit for dog walks and to get out and about for their mental health and enjoy the peaceful scenery of the village. The village also has a significantly historic church which attracts people to visit and is an important factor in the community. The parking restrictions applied will hinder people from visiting the village for those positive factors. The parking restrictions will also be applicable to residents of the village and for any visitors wanting to visit friends and family. Further, the area in which the restrictions are due to be applied is actually a safe zone for parking within the village. These restrictions will only encourage people to park in dangerous areas of the village and will not resolve any alleged parking issues. There has been no risk assessment conducted in relation to the parking restrictions due to be imposed. The decision will ultimately effect the local livelihood of the community in the reasons detailed above and will encourage dangerous parking. The Parish Council has already restricted parking in the village car park and now the decision to impose more unnecessary parking restrictions is unjust and unfair. The decision is against the community and ultimately only in the interests of the Parish Council rather than the wider community. Goodmanham Parish council are supposed to support the community, rather than oppose it.

Make sure we keep our parcels safe and correctly delivered to our flats. No more missing parcels!

This is a petition for motorists to join who are fed up sitting in traffic, crawling along trying to get onto the A38 from the Kingsway Shopping Centre area outside of Derby and further beyond to those coming from Derby itself, Mickleover direction, past the fire Station just to eventually get to the roundabout and have to take their lives into their own hands trying to pull out if there is a reasonable gap in the continual stream of vehicles coming up from Markeaton Island towards Burton upon Trent. How much longer will we put up with this when the solution is so easy to see and rectify ? Obviously, those coming from the Markeaton Island direction need to be stopped from entering the roundabout at that point with a set of traffic lights to allow traffic from Kingsway to get onto the A38 and relieve the congestion. If the lights were on Red for only 10 seconds out of 40 at a time, it would make a huge difference and end the risk of a major collision occurring. I can see this will happen eventually. If you agree with all I’ve written, let’s get something done about making our lives less stressful, less costly and safer. Please like and comment to show solidarity to get these lights installed and I will present the figures to the correct people concerned in erecting them. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you join the movement. G

For everyone's benefit. Wildlife, the planet and people alike. The council has more than matched their housing targets year in and year out and now needs to show it's seriousness regarding its commitment to the environment as laid out in their manifesto. PRA site has benefitting physical and mental attributes not only to the people that use it but also to the wider community. Growing and harvesting locally produced fruit and vegetables is a very worthy, necessary and encouraged, both locally, nationally and internationally, pastime. Surplus/donated produce also helps with ever increasing demands for stock at local food banks. It also benefits local city flora and fauna established havens. Rare pieces of city wildlife are paramount in saving .... history will judge today's people/decisions of their seriousness in tackling environmental matters and commitment to keeping sections of their community as green open spaces. Fragile wildlife (both creature and fauna alike) cling to such havens for their very survival. PRA is very special indeed for being home to such wildlife. Preserving open green space not only as a source of carbon capture but also as a benefit to people (physically and mentally) and all that wildlife includes. With added kudos of continuing the landscaper Capability Brown's vista until now protected through diligent and common-sense actions of authorities for hundreds of years. Historical ring-fencing of the highest order. A sensible agreement for maintaining open green space adds gravitas to the councils commitment to its environmental aspirations and respect to the Duke of Northumberlands estate for bequeathing important sites such as these to a forward thinking, progressive and sustainable, green future. Please consider this petition with heartfelt compassion as we only have one planet. Thank you. P.S. I hope the King sees this and impresses his green agenda and influence upon Earl Percy as he is friends of the Duke of Northumberland albeit slightly poorer than the Duke!

We need as many residents as possible to join our campaign to make West Bretton a safer village. Please sign our petition so we can make change.

The UK is sleepwalking into becoming an entirely cashless society, some shops and venues already refuse to accept cash as a form of payment. Tapping your card, or using an app is incredibly convenient and helpful for many of us, but not everyone has easy access to smartphones and banking. A move to an entirely cashless society would exclude many people particularly older people or those without homes. Government and businesses should work together to ensure that cash is always accepted as a form of payment, to prevent a two tier society.
