Save Arts Therapies in Sheffield!Arts Therapists provide a unique approach within mental health care. It will not only limit the therapeutic services we are able to offer to clients but also be a loss to the teams in which therapists offer perspectives in discussions, decision making and reviews. It will inevitably put more pressures on an already stretched service.1,140 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by gemma dunnery

Save Brunswick Town's Post OfficeBrunswick Town in Hove is a densely-populated area and the Post Office proposed for closure is at the centre of the community, is very well used and has won many awards. Post Office Limited states that alternative provision will be accessible to residents but this provision is a mile away up a hill. We worry about elderly and infirm residents being able to access the new "merged" post office on Melville Road. Our Post Office in Brunswick Town provides a essential public service where people need it and we wholly oppose plans to close it.2,138 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Oliver Sykes

empty flatsThese flats are two bedroom properties that were part of the conditions of planning, they have been empty for nearly ten years as it seems there was never a completion date built into the contract, I have been on BM radio with Adrian Goldberg, written to my MP Steve McCabe these are supposed to be affordable flats that 22 families are being denied. Housing homeless families at affordable rents is vital to our society35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by syd vughana

Don't let Camelot Ruin the LotteryThere has been no consultation with the public to my knowledge. A lot of people live in hope of improving their lives with a lottery win. Camelot's argument that there will be bigger jackpots because there will be more roll overs may be factual but I'm sure most people would rather invest in the lottery as it stands. At present the odds on winning the top prize is approx. 13 million to 1. The new lottery due to start in October will make the odds 45 million to 1 and therefore make even the smaller prizes so much harder to win. Let's stop this before it happens and we will all have a better chance of winning.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Youens

Stop Social Cleansing in London!The government's proposals to force councils to sell of remaining social housing stock will, in combination with the lowering of the welfare cap to £23,000, make London an uninhabitable city for many. This will only get worse over the next five years and lead to unprecedented levels of social cleansing from the capital. The amendment would force the government to empower London's Mayor in seeking to redress this balance, and provide additional social homes for people in one of the world's greatest cities. The Thatcherite campaign of council stock depletion would, over time, be reversed. Though it focuses on London, social housing is an issue everywhere, and we believe this would be a start. Stop the social cleansing of London. Your signature can be a part of that.153 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Richard Andrews

Save the Kingfisher NurseryThe Nursery provides and important lifeline for Parents who wish to study in Further Education, as well as for Staff at the College and High School and community beyond. The Nursery is well loved and has an excellent track record and it's loss would be keenly felt. We do not feel that enough options have been explored by the College to keep the Nursery Open and we would like to see the figures and the basis for the decision to close it made public, as well as the results of the 'Consultation' process the College went through.477 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Steve Bush

Take The Government To Court Over Failure To Act On The Climate CrisisOn the 24th June 2015 a court in the Netherlands set an amazing precedent. The Dutch government is now legally bound to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2020, due to a legal case taken up by 900 citizens who would be adversely affected by rising sea levels due to climate change. Under the Conservative government we have gone backwards in regards to renewable energy. Homes and the environment are being put under threat due to broken promises, failure to take positive strides towards sustainability, fracking and the recent finding of oil in Sussex. We are already in a position where we cannot consume more than 20% of our current fossil fuels if we are to stay within two degrees of global warming so as not to reach the tipping point that has been agreed by climate scientists. Therefore we need to be moving towards renewable energy, sustainability rather than further increase our dependence on fossil fuels. Let's make our government take responsibility for their inaction and make it a legal requirement to put sustainability back on the agenda in the United Kingdom.2,598 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Terry

"Save North Tyneside's Green Spaces"At the 2013 consultation on preferences for growth in North Tyneside to 2032, 37% of respondents expressed a preference for seeking other options rather than build any new homes, and a further 47% preferred working with neighbours to reduce the requirement to 10-12,000 homes. Only 10% of respondents expressed a preference for building 16,000 homes. The council have selected this option and the Draft Local Plan 2015 sets out plans to build 16,000 extra homes in this plan due to be agreed in 2015. The difference between the chosen growth option and those preferred by the vast majority of respondents is approximately 5000 homes. This is the number of homes planned to be built at two important greenfield sites at Murton and Killingworth Moor. We believe that North Tyneside Council's decision to adopt the higher growth model goes against the clearly expressed view of respondents to the 2013 consultation for no new homes or fewer new homes to be built. We are calling for the Draft Plan to be re-written based on the preferred low / no growth model, and remove proposed plans for 5000 new homes.287 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Albert Boyd

Equal Justice For AllPolitical and finical corruption over the last ten years have virtually destroyed the lives of millions of British people. How many people who were responsible for both the banking crisis and the MP expenses scandal were prosecuted? virtually none. The law must treat everyone in the same way or we have no law.95 of 100 SignaturesCreated by jeff davies
