• Defend our A&E at Broomfield Hospital
    This change means Broomfield hospital would become a minor injuries walk-in centre, which makes a mockery of government claims to establish a 24/7 NHS. We all know a family member or a friend who could need urgent care and has to get to an A&E very quickly. Without a local A&E department people would have to travel up to an hour to get to an A&E, if someone is in a critical condition that time could be the difference. Health bosses are playing with the lives of the people of mid-Essex. We have already had a great response to this petition which shows that the people of Chelmsford are overwhelmingly opposed to this change. Our local hospital needs everybody. And we need a campaign to keep Broomfield A&E

  • Stop the pension age rising to 70.
    Are you going to be fit enough to work until your 70 years of age? Also remember, longevity could shorten over the coming years. Finding work for the younger of us could become more and more difficult in future years as technology races on. We should be thinking and working on how we are going to look after the increasing population in general, young and senior while jobs for all of us us are decreasing. Lastly it's not a good idea to think this isn't important to you at the moment. Because I can assure you it is. So, please sign now and protect your future years!

  • Centralised Government Website for Online Gambling
    Online gambling operators need to individually adhere to rules in line with the Gambling Commision. We believe it is important to provide a single point where gambling can be controlled in order to prevent gambling addicts accessing online services in the effective way possible.

  • Ivf abuse
    The only reason why these procedures are being pushed is to make money from those who trust what they are being told, and desperate enough to believe what they are being told. They are being cheated, and companies have a license to steal and are free to do so..

  • Consign gender imbalance @ Westminster to the dustbin of history.
    A 71% male to 29% female ratio of elected Westminster MPs is shamefully unrepresentative of gender ratio in society as a whole. Such a gender imbalance sends out the wrong signal to our children, that unless you look and sound just like a clone of Margaret Thatcher, then you've zero to one in 64.1 million chance of making it to PM of our country. If a bigger building is required don't forget the 71% male dominated Westminster Parliament voted in favour of Trident renewal costing the tax payer an estimated £120 billion. So anything is possible no matter how ridiculous it seems at face value.

  • Save Bicester's Health and Wellbeing Centre
    An open letter from an 87-year-old lady who uses the centre: Dear people of Bicester, I've lived in Bicester for 50 years. My husband passed away 15 yrs ago. I have no family left and my mobility is not what it used to be. I attend the Bicester Health and wellbeing centre located near the garth park two days a week. This place is my only lifeline. I get to see friends and I get looked after so well that I really don't know where I would be without the place. Oxfordshire County Council are proposing to close this centre and others throughout Oxfordshire! What will I do? I will be stuck looking at four walls every day with no human contact. Who will prepare me a cooked meal, help me with my medications and just check my general health. I'm so upset that this is happening. I won't see my friends again. I will be all alone all day every day. Me and my husband have worked hard all our lives, paid our taxes and this is how vulnerable people are being treated. You are all younger and we need you to fight for us as no one will otherwise. Please think of your elderly relatives and think what would they do if they didn't have you? I don't like being alone and it scares me to think this is now my future, being alone and vulnerable. Please help us in this fight to save the Bicester Wellbeing Health and Wellbeing centre. You or your relatives might need them one day!

  • Recycle Leeds City Centre.
    The amount of waste that can be recycled in Leeds is skyrocketing. With Leeds being in the top 5 biggest cities in the country and top 20 places for tourists to visit in the UK we should be setting an example for our neighbours both local and further adrift.

  • Treat homeless people with respect and dignity
    Public Space Protection Orders allow for broad powers to criminalise behaviour that is not normally criminal. This means in theory homeless people could be fined £100 for accepting food from kind-hearted strangers. This could demonise people who are often unwell, maybe have mental health issues or have just fallen on hard times. This is no way to treat the most vulnerable in our town. PSPOs are geographically defined, making predefined activities within a mapped area prosecutable. People can literally be fined for being in the wrong place. Under PSPOs homeless people could be targeted if they enter an exclusion zone, which covers a large part of the town. I am saddened and disappointed that the great town of South Shields has recently started enforcing Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO). This campaign is based on this information from the council's website: https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/35174/Public-Spaces-Protection-Orders If you have anything that suggests that the council are no longer able to fine people for begging then we'd love to hear more from you, drop us an email at [email protected] https://www.southtyneside.gov.uk/article/35174/Public-Spaces-Protection-Orders

  • UK to commence airdrops of food and medicines to Aleppo
    The plight of people of Syria in Aleppo is unutterably desperate. Knowing how to intervene to bring the conflict to an end is not clear, but for us to stand passively by and watch hundreds of thousands of children and civilian adults die the slowest, cruellest deaths because of lack of water, food and medicines is shameful. At last our Parliament is speaking out. Please put pressure on our Prime Minister and her government to act immediately.

  • The BBC must provide fair coverage of the protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline
    There have been debates about the proposed pipeline to transport oil across America for over 2 years. The route chosen appears to be in breach of several treaties between the Government of America and first nation tribes concerning the preservation of sacred land and burial sites; investigation by the the Army Corps of Engineers, charged with ensuring the safety and sustainability of any use of public lands, has been cursory and incomplete. A small group of First Nation people, with support from across the world, are trying to stop the pipeline, not only because of the threat to sacred land but also because of the threat to drinking water. There is significant evidence that their human rights have been breached and that actions by local law officers have been illegal and disproportionate. Full and fair reporting by the BBC would facilitate a wider debate on the important balance between the demands of corporate monopolies and social and environmental protection.
