• To stop the closure of Haywards Heath sixth form college
    With the closure of Haywards Heath Sixth Form College local children are being forced to travel long distances to colleges in Brighton and Lewes. This is costing families travelling expenses of on average £100 a month per child,. At 16, though the children are forced to stay in education until 18, they have to pay adult fares. Hundreds of new houses are being built in Haywards Heath, and surrounding villages so that means even more children that have to travel miles to college . Haywards Heath is a rapidly expanding town, it needs a sixth form college

  • End Virgin Trains Disability Discrimination
    My simple request was that I would as a wheelchair user like the same opportunity as everyone else to buy a cheap 1st class ticket for a long journey. If you are not a wheelchair user you are perhaps not aware that the majority of Virgin East Coast rolling stock are ancient Diesels which do have one wheelchair space available which is not accessible by most wheelchairs nor do they have an accessible toilet their own words! Only the electric trains have an accessible toilet in First BUT when phoning or looking online there is no way to know which trains are suitable for me ie electric and in consequence I have missed the cheaper tickets, apparently and according to Virgin East Coast my fault for not booking sooner! Follow this link and see for yourself. https://www.virgintrainseastcoast.com/rail-travel/your-journey/assisted-travel/

  • A register for domestic violence perpetrators
    This is important because so many lives are ruined by domestic violence, this violence impacts on the lives of women, men and children, some children grow up to believe violence is a normal act and go on to become perpetrators themselves. Lives are lost to domestic violence everyday, stop the violence. On average the perpetrator will assault their target 36 times before police are called. The reluctance to call the police is born out of extreme fear and shame.

  • Do not force the self employed to submit quarterly tax returns!!
    Self employed people generally work over 50 hours a week - many work considerably longer hours. They get no job security or holiday allowance. Their salary is not paid if they are sick and yet they contribute hugely to the nation's wealth. Many self employed people manage all aspects of their business from the PR, to office admin, to ensuring that they keep up to date with H&S, keeping accounts etc as well as delivering the core nature of their business. A three monthly submission process of tax return would create an unacceptably huge administrative burden on self employed people. It would stifle our collective ability to deliver our core business. It would discourage entrepreneurialism. In terms of the arts and third sector self-employment - it would add further administrative duress to an already ailing and underfunded landscape.

  • Firmus Energy- We Cannot Afford a 12.2% Increase in Domestic Gas Prices
    Fuel poverty is a major issue in Northern Ireland. People are already having to choose if they should ' heat or eat.' This extraordinary price hike will make it impossible for people to heat their homes, dry their clothes and wash their children. Those worst affected will be low income families and those caring for elderly relatives or the disabled. Firmus is the main supplier of energy to those in social housing. Firmus say that they have no choice but to pass on to the customers the increases they have had to pay on the global gas markets. This is untrue. While gas prices spiked last year, they have continued to fall since.Gas prices on international markets are now similar to the prices large companies paid in February 2016.Prior to this point gas prices had been in almost continual decline for approximately 3 years. No one has received a 12.2% pay rise, there has been no similar increase to pensions and benefits. People simply cannot afford to pay this higher tariff. I cannot afford to heat my home. Please sign this petition asking for Firmus Energy to reconsider their price increases. We appreciate that that they must set their prices with profit in mind but to increase the cost to customers by 12.2% is not only unfair but is also morally wrong.

  • More NHS mental health hospitals need opening, not closing.
    When you're at a time where you're mentally distressed, to the point you need to be in hospital, knowing where you are plays a bigger role than you'd think. If you know you're up the road from your house, or a short bus ride away, it gives you peace of mind. You know you're family and friends will be able to visit you, and bring you things you might need. It also means you can have effective home leave before being discharged. Now imagine, you're being sent 100miles away from your home, to a place where you probably don't know anyone. What if no one in your family drives? You become alone and isolated, at a time where being around people who love you matters more than anything; but you're all alone instead. There are kids being sent far away! Some as young as 12. If you're far away, and you are in a unit where you can't use your mobile, how are you meant to stay in contact with friends? What if you're in that hospital for months? Having no familiarity makes you sink even lower. It is essential that more is done to improve the current bed crisis.
