• Keep Hornshole within SBC Hawick Wards
    Since the Callants (young men) of Hawick Fought and Won the flag from the English camped at Hornshole in 1514 Hornshole has played an important part in the towns history and culture. For the Past 501 years this site has been of great historical intrest to the towns people of Hawick and the removal of such an important location and monument from a Hawick council ward is more than just a line on a piece of paper. We the people of Hawick must get behind this petition to keep this sacred and cherished site within our local boundary.

  • Strip the Barclay brothers of their knighthoods
    The Barclay brothers have a long history of questionable activities. Whilst their business dealings may be legal they are morally repugnant. Their hotels have not paid corporation tax for many years. They recently won £1.2 billion from the UK treasury relating to the VAT affairs of a company they bought - the VAT problems didn't even happen while they owned it but they are happy to profit from it. They are trying to ruin the channel island of Sark by buying as much property on the Island as they can then mothballing it - this is ruining a small special community. Whilst they retain their knighthoods they are a stain on anyone else with a similar honour. They do not deserve this honour.

  • Free Sam, Nanok, Balva & Kobi
    Police have failed in their duty to protect and serve, they left the premises unsecured after breaking in to get four dogs when three was on a warrant and no proof these dogs who were in any crime as these dogs were home safe at time of alleged attack. Police are wrong, dogs are innocent we want accountability.

  • Remove the boards from outside the building's on Bold Street.
    Homelessness in Liverpool is a massive problem which continues to remain unaddressed. There are over 2000 people in the city who are street homeless or living within hostels. This figure is set to rise dramatically over the next five years as more austerity and cuts are placed upon vital services such as housing, addiction support and mental health programmes. Instead of demonising these people amd further alienating them out of society we should be working together to protect and support them, their safe spaces are being destroyed and their human rights once again are further being jeopardised and breached. Thank you for your support and understanding, please sign and share :)

  • Stop Pitch Fees Being Increased
    Should MTCBC go ahead with the proposed pitch fee increase, this could have a detrimental effect on many of the sporting clubs in the Merthyr borough. The price increase proposed is totally unacceptable and also unaffordable. We would be interested to know how MTCBC can justify such increases when the facilities that many clubs have are so poor. We were told by MTCBC that neighbouring local authorities were charging similar prices but we have found this to be untrue. The outcome of this could be that many clubs would cease, resulting in many people particularly children not being able to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. something which in this day and age and particularly in this area is of paramount importance.

  • Save Tamblyn Way
    Tamblyn Way, the forty year old steps down to the beach at Droskyn, is one of the many factors that make Perranporth such a special place. It was named in honour of Mr Tamblyn, a local resident, for all the hard work he did on behalf of the community but four years ago it was closed and remains so with nobody seeming to know what is to become of it.

  • Save Bromley's Community Libraries
    Our community libraries are under threat! The council want to stop funding the running of Bromley's community libraries, and have asked for volunteer groups to run and fund the libraries, threatening the loss of jobs for qualified library staff and the closure of the libraries. The council has millions of pounds in reserves, some of which should be used to maintain an efficient and comprehensive library service as required by law. It is a vital community hub used by the most vulnerable members of society- children and the elderly and it cannot be lost.

  • No confidence in Jeremy Hunt
    I have worked in the NHS for over twelve years. In the last parliament I and many other NHS staff went on strike for the first time in many years. This was a step many staff never thought we would have to take. The 1% was the trigger but the protest was about so much more. Nurses and other staff who work within our National Health Service do an exceptionally difficult job. They care for us and our families but who cares for them? David Cameron tells us that his government is on the side of hard working families and yet Nurses and other NHS staff have seen their pay fall in real terms. Jeremy Hunt as Health Minister, who co-authored a book calling for the NHS to be dismantled and has been investigated in relation to his parliamentary expenses, actively stopped NHS staff from receiving a 1% pay increase, below the rate of inflation. There is a push to remove leads and allowances staff get for working unsocial hours, paid to them for caring for our families at the expense of their own. He has overseen a top down re organisation which has wasted billions of pounds and caused massive disruption to services. The conservative government has said that it values the NHS and its staff whilst seeking to undermine them wherever possible by allowing more and more profit hungry organisations to cherry pick the areas that will make them the most money, often at the expense of NHS services themselves. Morale is at an all time low right across services. Caring, compassionate, experienced staff are leaving in their hundreds because they can no longer face what is being done to the services they value by an ideology driven Health Secretary so far removed from the pain inflicted on front-line services. Can we expect such dedicated and caring staff to be totally focused on what really matters, the patients, when they are worrying about providing for their own families? So what does Mr Hunt offer to improve morale and support staff in delivering the care they want to provide? An unfunded commitment to £8 billion and additional commitments to find further £20 billion in savings from services already cut to the bone. Lets send him a message, lets tell him that we do not trust him with OUR NHS #nofaithinhunt

  • Petition to allow safe standing at Celtic Park.
    I feel this is important because attendances in Scottish football are falling, and anything we can do to help bring supporters back should be considered. As long as it's safe ect. I myself would certainly go back, I stopped going mainly because I don't want to sit down at the football. And as long as it's done safely and passes all the relevant health and safety criteria, I don't see what the hold up is?

  • TURN CERN OFF again -Stephen Hawking was right.
    Stephen Hawking describes the CERN as the greatest threat yet to our planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJdc3hkcCUc CERN was turned back on, on 23rd March 2015. Since then we have had 2 enormous disasters killing over 10,000 people and destroying World Heritage sites;13 earthquakes higher than 6 .0 on the richer scale, increased seismic and volcanic activity. Worse is likely to be to come. These "experiments" play "God" (particle) with all life on Earth. We the people of Earth reject them and demand these facilities cease activity immediately.

  • Stop the RBS Branch closure in Invergordon
    Why is this important to us as a town? This campaign and petition has been started immediately it was announced that the Royal Bank of Scotland is going to close our local Invergordon RBS Branch. Doing this will have a devastating impact on not only our town and High street but on the elderly who are unable to travel, the disabled, the local residents as a whole who use the RBS everyday, the local businesses who use it on a daily basis. You have stated that you will not close any bank which is the last one standing in a town.......why then are closing this one? It is the last bank standing and a vital asset to the town and community! The above are just some of the reasons why we as a community can NOT ALLOW the RBS to shut our local Invergordon Branch! It is a focal point of the town for tourists and residents alike. In the cruise liner season our Invergordon branch is used by many tourists to change money and this is a service that will be denied to them and is also worth noting that we have aprox 60 million tourists enter the Invergordon Port every season! Everyone knows that a bank is a vital organ in a town especially a town such as Invergordon where if the RBS shut this one down there will be NONE! Please sign this petition and forward and share to all your friends and family. We can stop this but only if you get behind this petition and campaign!

  • Support Food Banks at your Local Supermarket.
    The use of Food Banks has increased over the last 5 years, and is unlikely to decrease if and when welfare cuts bite. Without access to food banks, more people will, literally, have nothing to eat. As a society can we afford for this to happen? If collection points are available in all the major supermarkets it makes it easier for all of us just to buy a couple of extra items to donate alongside our regular shop. It also raises awareness of food poverty throughout the UK.
