The sale of fur was banned by Harvey Nichols in 2004 but real fur has recently reappeared in huge quantities in store. This trade is cruel, wasteful and unnecessary. No argument about ethical sourcing can justify the raising and slaughtering of animals for our decoration. The sale of fur represents a huge step backwards for Harvey Nichols as a market leader and for animal welfare in general. Harvey Nichols has the power to make a real statement of intent about their ethical practice and to lead the fashion retail sector by again refusing to normalise and profit from this trade.

Young students studying paramedics are required to gain 750 hours annual experience while on duty with the ambulance service. Costs are not covered to get to and from placement, nor is uniform or equipment. Surely as front line services they are entitled to a bursary. They are after all part of a first response team that can mean the difference between life or death.

I believe that 'Totally Sound' is the ONLY inclusive music making project delivered by City of Edinburgh Council to participants who want to come along to make music. Many of the participants are UNABLE to access the other music making opportunities in their own High Schools , either because the Schools do not provide music tuition, or because the young people have not attained the requisite standard of playing to be included. Participation in 'Totally Sound' is NOT free. Participants pay £2 per session. The project provides instrumental and vocal tuition in short lessons and mentors emerging bands to get their sets together for recording and for public performances across the city.

Despite the huge reduction in the use of plastic carrier bags since the 5p charge was introduced they continue to blight our roads, countryside, landfills, waterways and oceans. The are either not biodegradable or take many years to degrade causing damage to the environment. Paper sacks are recyclable and biodegrade.

Something needs to be done before someone is hurt. Cars are mounting pathways in front of pedestrians. Keep us safe!

These proposals are untried and not deliverable. The downgrading of acute services at the Horton General will have devastating consequences on Banbury and the surrounding area. This will also increase pressure on neighbouring hospitals who are already under pressure with the increased demand.

By allowing the supermarkets to package our goods in plastics they are personally contributing to the ever growing environmental issues plastics pose on nature. With material technologies advancing we are now able to find alternatives to using plastic. The supermarkets have to realise that we are not happy filling landfills full of chirp packets, bottles and bags. Please sign this petition to make them change the way we package our food

The right to be heard- to be represented in court - to gain justice - has become the privilege of the wealthy. Many people on low incomes have been unable to solve Civil Law cases due to legal aid being withdrawn by the government. It has made a mockery of the legal system- it must be re-instated

They have started changing the aspects of the brand from product range, to location of operations and dynamically undoing history in the making. They need to be stopped as they are destroying a heritage and one of the worlds most renowned brands. This comes of affect with the changes to the following. - Terrys' Chocolate Orange weight - Bourneville chocolate changing - also under the Cadburys brand umbrella - Toblerone changing shape which is causing chocolate lovers to cry into their confectionery. - Recipe for Cadburys' Creme Egg - Operations moved to within Europe - Not paying Taxes - Creating product ranges that use other products of the Mondelez International brand group. - Workers rights and environment not being respected. - Not being Fair Trade All of these changes are to public knowledge as well thanks to Channel 4's secrets of Cadburys on the series 'Dispatches', where it unfolds and sees the true happening of Cadburys. This has led to me boycotting using Cadburys or Mondelez products due to how they are slowly eating away at Cadburys piece by piece.. Do you want Cadburys to be owned and based primarily in the UK?

Canal and River Trust's 'calamitous' decision to remove the Planet Lightship from Liverpool and tow it to Gloucester has placed at risk a key piece of Britain's maritime heritage. Despite it being in good condition, C&RT are selling the ship on 16th December, potentially for scrap. http://www.merseysidecivicsociety.org/media/78748/savetheplanet.jpg?width=499&height=383 Please sign and share to urge C&RT Chairman Allan Leighton and Louise Ellman MP to stop the sale, and return 'Planet' to its Liverpool home. http://www.edwalkermarine.com/images/cart-images/planet-lightship.jpg The beautiful 'Planet' was Britain's last manned lightship and was world famous among mariners for marking the entrance to the Port of Liverpool channels at the 'Mersey Bar' sandbanks, 12 miles out to sea in Liverpool Bay. https://www.liverpoolconfidential.co.uk/news-and-comment/bar-lightship-the-lonely-planet-sails-away During the final years of the great Trans-Atlantic liners, sea captains used to race from New York's similar 'Ambrose' Lightship to Liverpool's 'Planet', to see if they could set new times. Glimpsing the Planet Lightship meant seafarers were safely home after long voyages. http://2irfbl23rse12dglqd39cw6v.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/seaport-museum4-copy.jpg QE2 Captain Robin Woodall, of Hoylake, memorably described 'Planet' as the "Lantern on Liverpool's front door" for millions of sailors and passengers. After many years happy retirement on public display at Canning Dock in Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage Site, Planet was suddenly seized in September 2016 and towed over 200 miles round Wales to Gloucester by the Canal and River Trust (C&RT), in a dispute over mooring fees, involving a sum reported to be £10k. http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/mann-island-apartments-with-liver-building-and-lightship-and-viewed-picture-id629600573?k=6&m=629600573&s=594x594&w=0&h=8inqKW59HjnfvOxXiGUCSJlS9NAP-PFmpGpVXs6oev0= The C&RT accept these fees have now been paid, but say they must recover the (much greater) costs of towing the ship and storing it in Gloucester by putting the ship on sale for a guide price of £100k. The deadline for bids is December 16th. http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/Work-Boat-for-sale/unknown-light-ship/156305 The ship is likely to be sold to the highest bidder - who could include scrap merchants - and there is no stipulation the ship must be returned to its home port of Liverpool. The C&RT, formerly public body British Waterways, with assets of over £700m, and income last year of £190m, including £50m direct from government, say they are unable to take it on themselves, or place any condition on its destination. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/refresh/media/original/29271.jpg Liverpool's former Chief River Pilot Captain Stuart Wood called the loss of Planet 'a total and absolute disaster, with several capital Ds'. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/loss-mersey-bar-lightship-planet-11925466 Peter Elson, maritime historian and author says the "calamitous" situation threatens "the most important Liverpool ship afloat." http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-mersey-bar-lightship-advertised-12275717 C&RT is a new organisation, set up with public money and former public property assets, which has been entrusted with the honour and responsibility of ownership of water-spaces within Liverpool's historic dock system. It would suffer real reputational damage on Merseyside and beyond if its first major decision results in Liverpool losing its much-loved lightship. http://c8.alamy.com/comp/EF12JJ/the-planet-mersey-bar-lightship-liverpool-docks-merseyside-england-EF12JJ.jpg Please sign to urge Riverside MP Louise Ellman, and national Canal and River Trust Chair Allan Leighton, to step in to bring the Planet back to its Liverpool home!

Since this Government was first elected in 2010 they have had an ideological agenda to attack the most vulnerable in society, The cuts to social care being one of them. Norfolk county council are proposing to make cuts to the sheltered housing warden service to balance their books in the coming year. The people who use this service are some of the most vulnerable in the county, It is absolutely vital in keeping these extremely vulnerable people in a safe environment and helping them lead more fuller, happier lives. The county council believe this will save money but it will not. In fact - A warden can keep 60 residents in a safe environment for 12 months for the same cost of keeping 1 resident in a larger home and still isolated. A warden costs around £450 a week servicing up to 60 residents. The cost of just one person going into a care home is around £600 per week. We urge the County Council to take in to account the social and economic benefits that this service provides and reconsider these proposed cuts.
