Anglesey Says No to PylonsThis petition is relevant to all rural communities who face new electricity transmission lines due to the growth of nuclear and renewable energy Anglesey is a rural, island community in North Wales, with a small population. Income and house prices are well below the national average. Agriculture and tourism are vital to the local economy. We oppose National Grid’s proposal due to the impact on: 1 - The landscape - which will adversely affect tourism 2 - Property prices - which will not be compensated 3 - Health - there is growing evidence of adverse effects of electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) 4 - Farming - leading agricultural organisations are opposed If Ofgem considered these impacts, National Grid would use underground or subsea cables.

Screen Michael Sheen's Hay festival speech on the eve of the General ElectionOn June 3rd, Michael Sheen gave a powerful and soul searching speech about the state of the United Kingdom today. At 2pm today it was made available to view online: https://www.hayfestival.com/p-12504-michael-sheen.aspx?skinid=16 Michael combined history, philosophy, poetry and literature to set out a powerful vision of society that has people at its centre. Here is a quote: ''When those at the top have a vision of society that has people at its heart and that humane vision forms the basis of their policy then that humanity spreads throughout the whole society. 'When those at the top see people merely as numbers, as votes, monetary units, commodities, figures on a chart, anything but living and breathing human beings who love and who hope and who suffer, then that de-humanisation leaks out and trickles down and festers among us all like a poisonous mould.' The British public has been starved of in-depth, soundbite free, analysis of the state of our society during this election. Michael Sheen's speech provides this with gusto and eloquence. Channel 4 is the only public service broadcaster with the courage to screen a lecture of this magnitude. A screening of this speech, in full with no breaks for advertising, could have a profound impact on the future of this country. If screened at 9pm on the 7th June, it would take the place of the excellent 24 hours in A&E. Given the content of this speech and its honouring of the founder of NHS, this seems fitting and would, we hope, be supported by the viewers and producers of 24 hours in A&E. 1.3 million people tuned into 24 hours in A&E last week. If a tenth of that sign this petition we hope Channel 4, The Hay Festival and Michael Sheen himself can make a prime time, General Election eve, screening happen. --- This petition was started by an individual and carries no affiliation to any political parties, organisations, businesses or Michael Sheen himself.

Local Authority funding for The Tree ClubThe children that attend the Tree Club have complex needs that include communication difficulties, requirement of personal care, sensory and processing difficulties, and challenging behaviour. To support them and to meet the requirements of regulatory bodies such as the Care Inspectorate we provide a high staffing ratio and in depth training. This is a significant cost to the organisation that simply can’t be met by parent fees. Our children have very few opportunities to access mainstream clubs and activities, if any. The Tree Club aims to bridge this gap. We endeavour to meet all our children/young people’s individual care plans. These plans detail the requirements for each young person to meet their full potential in relation to social and well-being targets. The Tree Club monitors and develops these plans, and supports each child’s individual outcomes, through carefully thought-out accessible activities, which focus on peer interaction, enhancing abilities and most important of all – providing fun play. The Tree Club allows parents and carers to access quality and affordable after school care, matching the similar mainstream provision, that is unfortunately inaccessible for our children. We also provide holiday schemes, allowing carers greater choices to be able to either access or support their ability to work, or support respite and/or quality time for our young people’s siblings. We offer this respite which for most of our service users’ families is impossible to source elsewhere. This service provides a break from caring, an opportunity to recharge their batteries and a support network to discuss issues and behaviour techniques and coping strategies and reduces the social isolation they face.555 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Maria Smith

Reverse the decision to close the Flour Mill Pond to anglersThis decision affects everyone in the village of Greenfield, where the Flour Mill pond has been fished for decades with no reporting of fishers injuring themselves or giving rise to health and safety concerns. The people of Greenfield wish this decision to be overturned and reversed as it was made with no consultation from local people, and against the recommendation of Flintshire County Council officers. This decision is not only destroying the landscape that many love to come and visit, but also the habitats of wildlife in the area and the surrounding environment.332 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Nina Davies

Make Bonham Road Resident only ParkingHaving parents park their car on any bit of space/ pavement they find is dangerous, accidents are occuring it's making it even more difficult to cross the road to get to the school. Children and adults that walk to school are almost getting knocked down by the people pulling up on to the pavements. It makes the road much too busy and puts people at risk.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Louise Orriss

Trump not welcomeTrump has shown himself to be unworthy to hold the position of President of the US through many actions and comments and most recently by his deliberately misleading reference to comments made by Sadiq Khan relating to security matters in London. If Trump were to come there will be huge public discontent throughout the UK . There would be an unjustifiable security cost to protect him at a time when all our security resources should be concentrated on the high level of risk of more terrorist activity against the general population.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Don Hale

Theresa May: Review Trump's UK state visit invitationDonald Trump's ill-judged, offensive and divisive response to 3/5/17, and his internet harassment of London's democratically elected Mayor, disqualify him for the honour of a state visit. This petition calls on Theresa May to invite the elected representatives of the UK Government to review its offer of a state visit to Donald Trump, in response to the offence that Trump's comments on 3/5/17 have caused to huge numbers of people within the communities of London and the UK; most importantly, those directly affected by the terrorist attacks.15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Withers

Mitie Must FallMITIE Group PLC is the UK's single largest provider of immigration detention centers. Inspections have severely criticised these facilities for detaining people for 'unreasonably long' periods (even when medical and mental health professionals have recommended their release) in 'desolate' and insanitary conditions. Other exploitative practices include the use of inmates to perform essential maintenance work, with payment of only £1 an hour, while incidents of serious self-harm quadrupled in 2 years at one immigration detention centers operated by MITIE. Durham University has a long and proud record of respect for human rights and social justice, a record that is being tarnished by our association with immoral companies like MITIE. Working with these firms is an embarrassment to the student body and the university as a whole, this is why we are calling VC Stuart Corbridge's administration to cease all relations with MITIE (firstly by not renewing their current £5 million contract, due for renewal this year) and to look into updating the University's procurement policy to include more human rights requirements.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Daisy Pullman

Ariana Grande for OBEFor someone who's concert was the stage for a barbaric act of terrorism she bravely and unselfishly showed the world a better way and should be praised for it.

Don't change Gravesham bin collectionGravesham Borough Council want us, the residents, to take any excess to the tip ourselves. This is NOT what we pay our council tax for. This will be a requirement for ALL families, every single week. Some do not even have cars, what will happen to the rubbish then? There will be MORE rubbish on the streets, and an increase in rats and foxes attacking refuge. There needs to be a change, this has not been thought out well at all, and is nothing short of cutting corners to save cost.1,314 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Simon Chapman
