• Abuse of Child in School with SEN in Lambeth , London
    I believe in cases of institutional abuse, where the authorities are legally responsible, especially in cases of vulnerable children, the priority is to protect the reputation of the establishment and not the interest of the child. The Childrens Act needs to be changed, it is a grey area of law, and far more support needs provided to victims of Child Abuse,especially those with Special needs who cannot always act as witnesses so the case cannot even get to court .

  • A much needed Diabetes Centre
    We as a local support group from South Tyneside have been campaigning since 2006, because a Diabetes pandemic has been predicted by professionals and we need to be prepared for this. As it stands Diabetes sufferers have to attend regular check ups e.g. Eye and Foot screening, Blood tests, podiatry and annual reviews at GP's surgery or hospital, at the moment these appointments are held at various locations and ideally would be much better to be done under one roof especially for the elderly or children who need public transport to attend each of these very important services.

  • Investigate suspicious voting at planning meeting for Cat Hill 2013
    Cat Hill is a heritage site. It is 10 acres of ancient woodland with protected European species as well as other endangered species. It also has two ponds which are mentioned in the Domesday Book and a Roman well. Already L&Q are destroying the site. Approx 40% of the ancient trees have already been felled and it is doubtful many of the hibernating Great Crested Newts survived the onslaught of bulldozers (a breach of the Natural England licenses) and the bat roosts have already disappeared into the chipper (again a breach of Natural England licenses, which were never issued for the trees with regard to the bats). The planning meeting saw the Labour councillors vote en-bloc to pass the application after some cajoling from their colleagues. Patting on backs, motioning upwards with hands etc. this smacks of a whip by the Labour Council which is illegal. (We have film of this if it is needed). Cllr Lee Chamberlain raised a question about this and other planning decisions in 2013 at a full council meeting last week. It is time Enfield Council launched an enquiry into bloc voting. This petition demands such an enquiry is launched immediately and the results are made available to the public with full transparency before it is too late to save our beautiful heritage site at Cat Hill

  • MP Maria Miller should face charges in a criminal court
    If I had scammed £90,718 off the DWP, I would be in jail. Why is this not the case for Maria Miller who stole our taxes in yet another expenses scandal? Mr Cameron, the message you are putting out is 'one rule for one and a different rule for the other'. It's like you're telling your MP's 'it's okay as long as you don't get caught'. I thought no one was meant to be above the law? Also, she only has to pay £5000 back? We, the people, want justice.

  • FAIR PAY FOR NURSES AND HCA's!
    This is a totally unnecessary decision and shows the Government does not value hard working nurses and health care support workers and are relying on their good nature and dedication to just accept it. A recent pay review body recommendation to increase MP’s salaries was accepted but then it was MP’s voting for their own pay increase! Please sign up to our petition so the Government knows how bitter a pill they are trying to make us swallow.

  • Introduce a Rent Cap in London
    Rents in London are unaffordable. We can’t afford to live here. We are sharing bedrooms with strangers and commuting for four hours a day. We are spending over 75% of our salaries on rent. We are being evicted and made homeless as we can’t afford rent rises imposed by our landlords. A rent cap is the quickest way to reduce rents and make homes affordable. It’s vital that the Government gives the Mayor of London the power to introduce a rent cap so we can afford to live in London. We should not have to choose between food or a home. We want a rent cap which is similar to council housing rents. For example: - Room in shared house: £75 a week - Studio: £95 a week - One bedroom property: £120 a week - Two bedroom property: £145 a week - Three bedroom property: £170 a week - Four bedroom property: £195 a week

  • Maria Miller should be prosecuted for fraud.
    It's important, because of the public's perception of MPs, since the expenses scandal. That Miller has been effectively pardoned by an in-house self-regulating body of her peers, is an absolute scandal. She has knowingly engaged in systematic fraud over a considerable time, The reputation(such as it currently is) of all parliamentarians is at stake here. A powerful message must be sent to the voting public that The House sees what she has done as completely unacceptable, and that she has no further place there, having abused her position as a representative of the people.

  • Save the Downham Market and Wimbotsham green space.
    This high quality agricultural land represents the last green space separating the rural village of Wimbotsham and the sprawl of Downham Market. It also borders a conservation area. Developing this field will facilitate the future destruction of the last natural and untouched open space available to the residents of Downham Market. This is an area of great biodiversity and natural beauty used for recreation by residents for more than twenty years. Development will destroy a rare elevated panoramic fenland view.
