• Pass the Organ Donation Opt Out Law in Northern Ireland
    Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where an opt-out system for organ donation is not yet in place. This law has passed through the NI Assembly and been given Royal Assent, but is now delayed on a technicality because of the stalemate at Stormont. This law would give people like 6 year old Dáithí MacGabhann a better chance of a life-saving transplant. That's why people from all corners of the UK are demanding that the Secretary of State uses his powers to put this law in place now.

  • URGENT PLEA FOR FIXED SPEED CAMERAS ON BRIDGEMAN STREET AND HIGHER SWAN LANE IN BOLTON
    Installing fixed speed cameras on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane that can actually catch those who are driving dangerously is important given how common this unacceptable behaviour has become. This road is busy with high footfall of pedestrians, many of whom are children. There is also heavy traffic of school runs. Drivers on the road are responsible for driving safely. Unfortunately, a minority have made Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane a dangerous place to cross and drive on. We need your support. Residents on Bridgeman Street have complained about the growing problem of dangerous drivers speeding both directions on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane. Drivers speed down Higher Swan Lane and lose control as they go around the bend into Bridgeman Street causing horrific accidents over the years. The same is true for cars dangerously speeding up Bridgeman Street on the opposite direction towards Higher Swan Lane. The speeding cars too often crash into parked cars near the bend. A resident, who has lived in the locality for four years, has his car severely damaged four times. Many residents do not even feel safe in their own houses, because, they said, if there were no cars parked outside, speeding cars could crash into the front of their houses. This area is busy with pedestrians of all ages, as it is a location for a mosque, a church, and schools, as well as many shops and takeaways. The council has agreed to repairs some existing speed bumps and install speed monitoring cameras, but these measures are not enough to tackle this problem. We need your urgent support with this petition to make sure Transport for Greater Manchester listens to our plea to put fixed speed cameras on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane near the bend that connects both streets. By doing this, we are making the road safer for our community, particularly our children and the elderly. Our Local Labour Team, including myself, Cllr Abdul Atcha, and Mr Ismail Ibrahim have supported the cause and are working with the local community to ensure Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane become a safe place to live. Will you sign our petition and help make our area a safer place to be? Thank you for your support.

  • URGENT PLEA FOR SPEED CAMERAS ON HALLIWELL ROAD BOLTON
    Having speed cameras on Halliwell road is important particularly when we have the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We have school runs, lunch times as well as the commutes to and from work. As drivers on the road, we are responsible for driving safely. Unfortunately, a minority have made Halliwell Road a dangerous place to cross. Even though we have traffic lights and zebra crossings, it just isn't enough! We need to implement speed cameras to keep the community safe and to catch those who are driving dangerously.

  • Bring back our Open Bus Day
    The Lothian bus open door day has been a huge part of bus enthusiasts like myself across Edinburgh and further afield. It is also an opportunity for the wider Edinburgh community to be part of there bus services and learn more about sustainable travel and electric buses. It was such a fun day out, with the bus wash being a highlight of the trip. My family even used the bus wheels as a measurement for my height each year. It is very much missed and I ask Lothian Buses to reinstate it for 2023 and beyond. Let’s show Lothian buses how much we miss this valuable community event and show support for our drivers and how much we appreciate our local transport networks

  • LEAVE our Bridge ALONE
    Please help Residents, Local Business, Local Interest and Heritage bodies STOP Essex County Council rushing through this application to demolish and replace the bridge. This plan will cause significant temporary, permanent and ongoing harm from the HGVs enabled to use this inappropriate route and offers no benefit to, and will damage, Britain's Tourist sector, local social, culture* economy and environment** and will negate years of careful conservation and irreparably reduce the contribution of Finchingfield to the National, Regional and local heritage environment and unique character of this area. *the proposed works will prevent Finchingfeild residents using their village green for the Coronation celebrations in May. **otters have been filmed in the pond adjacent to the bridge.

  • Give Barry its fair share of "Levelling up" funding to ensure its Waterfront regeneration!!
    In 1913, Barry Docks was the largest coal exporting port in the world but today the Docks waterfront is looking to transform into a place where the community can enjoy and to create a better more environmentally friendly future. The funding would have gone towards developing a new water sports facility at Barry Waterfront and a new marina at the site known as the mole. The bid for funding was a strong one and we are determined to do what we can to ensure it succeeds in the next funding round.

  • Save dog rescues from having to shut up shop - putting thousands of dogs at risk
    The dog rescue sector is already facing a major crisis. Following an explosion of dog ownership during Covid, the return to ‘normality’ has seen a huge increase in the number of dogs coming into the rescue system - with not enough space for them all. It means so many dogs that could go on to have happy lives in new homes don’t get the chance, and instead are being euthanised. And there's an even bigger crisis looming. Dog rescues need to have insurance cover to operate, but over the past few months more and more insurers have either withdrawn cover for rescues completely - including for long-standing rescue customers - and others have increased their premiums to an unaffordable level or put in restrictions that are unworkable for small charity rescues. If this trend continues, many smaller rescues will be forced to close leaving even more, healthy, well-adjusted, dogs with no-where to go. As a nation of dog lovers, do we really want to see mass scale euthanisation of dogs because of a set of ‘perfect storm’ factors driven by Covid? The approach being taken by insurers doesn’t penalise those that caused the problems, it just puts dogs and those that work responsibly to save them at risk. Instead of a knee-jerk withdrawal, the insurance industry should work with responsible rescues to promote good practices, ensuring future risk is sensibly managed. Without this the current crisis in the dog world will only get worse.

  • Remove plastic packaging from supermarket fruit and veg
    Potatoes, apples, bananas, carrots and onions are the top five most wasted fruit & veg products in UK households. Over a one-year period, it is estimated that selling these five items loose (unpackaged) would: – Prevent an estimated 1.7 billion pieces of plastic packaging from being thrown away – Avoid over 77,000 tonnes of food waste by allowing people to buy the exact amount they need – Save shoppers a combined total of over £85m in uneaten food Removing plastic packaging from these five fruit & veg products is not only a simple, effective and proven way to reduce the effects of the plastic problem, but it can also cut food waste and save us money. Right now, the industry still argues that plastic packaging protects our food in transit, extends freshness, prevents spoilage and reduces waste. Something isn’t adding up… France has already banned 30 fruits and vegetables from being wrapped in plastic packaging. This year, Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg will join them. It’s time for the UK to do the same. Potatoes, apples, bananas, carrots and onions are often available loose in supermarkets alongside their packaged counterparts. We want them loose, and only loose. Add your name today and call on supermarkets to increase the availability and affordability of packaging-free fruit & veg so that all of us can #ChooseLoose. You can find out more about the #ChooseLoose campaign along with our Facts and FAQs >> http://www.chooseloose.org Figures obtained from WRAP for this campaign

  • Hythe Skate Park - New Ramps
    Hythe skate park isn't leaner friendly. This puts a lot of people off riding for the first time and them missing out on so much. The friendships you make. The reward you from learning new tricks while you ride. These 3 new simple ramps would be perfect for people starting out as well as experienced riders. I teach skateboarding and live I in Hythe. I travel to other skateparks like Deal, and F51 to teach because it’s difficult to learn at Hythe. The lips on each quarter pipe that are already there are in serious need of resurfacing. Also the ramps are big, that’s not a bad thing. We just want to add some smaller ramps to encourage new riders and support the local community that’s already there.

  • Force government to act on missing and abused refugee children
    How can we sit and allow this to happen in our name? These children have already experienced untold trauma and we are failing and endangering them. What have we come to as a country when we allow this to happen?
