• Sugar tax
    David Cameron has refused to bring in a tax in the UK in fact he has refused to listen to the independent research which proposed a sugar tax. Childhood obesity has become a major problem and will get worse in the future if we do not take steps to to reduce the sugar intake of children. Our government is in the pockets of the food manufacturers -only the EU can implement the tax over his head. Our children's health matters please lobby your MEP to raise this issue in the European Union.

  • Save Frizington Fire Station
    Frizington fire Station has by some reports up to 80 call outs a year. Whitehaven retained fire station and Egremont would not adequately cover Frizington's area which includes Cleator Moor and outlying villages towards Cockermouth. The closure would leave a very large area with inadequate cover. Closure would be a mistake and would put the lives of West Cumbrian people at risk.

  • Lower fuel prices in rural areas to the same as towns
    Because in rural areas in Suffolk we pay about 3p more per litre. We are the ones that have to use our cars as we have no village shop or local garage no pub as they have all closed down.

  • Fight for the rights of child refugees in Greece
    The treatment of the children in this way contravenes article 37 of the United Nations charter for children. This treatment will result in long term physical, psychological and emotional damage to the children. It is not how a westernised nation should behave.

  • Say NO to Chinese Nuclear Plants in UK
    "A Chinese state-controlled company, with a minority French state partner, will build (and control) massive nuclear power plants at Hinkley Point, Bradwell in Essex and Sizewell. British intelligence agency sources are said to be so concerned that they have let it be known in public that they can never know what hidden capabilities are built into the plants’ software." Polly Toynbee. If these plans go ahead they could press that red button and make the UK a nuclear wasteland whenever they chose, or hold us to ransom indefinitely taking over our government and removing every last freedom we posses. Environmentally speaking our government has crushed burgeoning sustainable energy enterprises to make room for this. Fiscally speaking it is yet another selling off of basic infrastructure that we should own. Whether you believe that this is an environmental, a fiscal or a security risk please sign. Do not hand over the UK on a plate.

  • SAVE KIDZMANIA
    Tens of thousands of children have used and played on the facilities at Kidzmania for generations. If it were to be lost, there is nowhere in the immediate vicinity that parents can take their children to play safely and securely. It is a venue open to all children, irrespective of their age and encourages them to play together. It is a focus point for the community in Hackney. A place where mums can get together, where contact visits can be arranged when there are issues between parents, where children with special needs can be accommodated. Hundreds of children celebrate their birthday parties there every year. http://www.kidzmania.co.uk/Kidzmania/Opening_Times_files/shapeimage_2.png While everyone accepts that new housing must be created, there are plenty of vacant or derelict properties. There should be no need to choose a site that already has an existing use, and is used by so many. It is wrong to deprive thousands and thousands of children just for the sake of 25 flats. It is too high a price to pay, and the community of Hackney should not stand for it. Please sign our petition to say to the Planning Committee of the London Borough of Hackney and to the proposed developer (identity as yet withheld) that the Community puts children before profit

  • Greater Manchester demands: make local democracy a top priority for real devolution!
    The devolution deals in Greater Manchester have been done behind closed doors and local people cannot be confident that the new deals will work for them. For example, many healthcare professionals are very concerned about the impact on health services and social care in the region, with impending, severe cuts on the way to Council funding. But the 'northern powerhouse' revolution also has an opportunity to be an inspiration for cities all over the UK - if the devolution process takes place in a truly transparent and democratic way that delivers real social, environmental, economic and democratic benefits in the genuine best interests of the many. That is not what is currently happening and needs to change fast! If the new devolved powers are to work for the people of Greater Manchester, local people must be the drivers of devolution, not the passengers. It must be driven by the people, not by small cliques in central government and City Halls.

  • Bring back the Forest Chair
    The Giant Chair is iconic in the forest. Not only to the people of the forest but the millions of visitors to the forest each year. It has been there so long that generations have grown up with it, it has created thousands of fond memories. Its an icon to the area. Yes it was dangerous and had to be removed, Yes it is going to be replaced, but it is something that is so large and prominent in the skyline that it stands out from the rest as a singular sculpture that draws people in. Its the Blackpool Tower of the forest, the Eiffel tower of the Dean. Don't replace it with anything nondescript, replace it with another chair......

  • Keep Horley Green
    Creating the 172 acre business park will mean wiping out green fields, businesses and a restaurant. Bayhorne Farm is a 72 acre farm - currently a well established and large Equestrian centre, the only one left in Horley and just one of the many green areas which will be destroyed and build on! If this plan goes ahead many people will lose their businesses, livelihoods, farm land, and homes. Not to mention the impact to the environment and wildlife! Bayhorne Farm has been farmed by 6 generations of the Whittaker Family - due to recent developments it is now the last remaining SCC farmed land left in Horley. Not only will the development plans create a substantial flood risk to the local area which is prone to flooding - it will be catastrophic to the large arrays of local wildlife who call the farm land and Bayhorne home, some of which are protected, such as, Badgers, Deers, Geese, Owls, Hedgehogs, Adders, many species of Birds, Bats, and other animals. Many of these animals return to Bayhorne EVERY year to the same areas of the farm. We have also been contacted by neighbouring residents who said they have confirmed crested newts. The farm has a large quantity of Bluebells which are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The farm is also home to a listed building, and the land has an historical interest too. The people of Horley have voiced their opinion - they do not want yet more developments, they want to preserve the very reason they love Horley - the countryside and its heritage - keeping the small town rural feel rather than bulldozing all of the green open spaces we have and replacing them with yet more concrete! Utilise the existing empty commercial spaces. Help us to #KeepHorleyGreen and help us petition against these plans! Find us on Facebook @ Keep Horley Green.
