NEW CAPITAL CITY FOR THE UKLondon is overcrowded. A brand new capital city would be a showcase for a modern outward looking country. It would provide thousands of homes where there were jobs.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lionel Phillips

Save Sheffield Central LibraryLibraries have been under threat across the country. Sheffield has already seen Walkley library sold to commercial interests. Now our council has opened up a review into commercial uses for the Central Library, with the possibility it will become a five-star hotel. The Central Library is a meeting space for groups and individuals, hosts talks by local and national authors and helps people use the internet. It is also a beautiful building, purpose built as a public space, which the general public can currently enjoy. The story of our beautiful art deco Central Library began in 1929, to a design by W. G. Davies and was conceived as part of a plan to create a civic (public) square. Today, the library houses Sheffield's largest general lending and reference collection. The Graves Art Gallery sits on the third floor with a gift shop and cafe and the Library Theatre, a space for local and student theatre companies, lives in the basement. It also houses a children's library. From the start, this building was imagined as a public space from top to bottom and should remain as such.10,983 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Gransbury

No funding for HS2 until rail links to the South West are secured for the foreseeable futureThese cuts to service cause serious economic damage to the entire region. Many South West businesses rely on rail links to export to London and the rest of the country.49 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andy Wallace

NHS Free and OpenThe NHS was created on the basis of free at the point of access. Doctors, nurses and other health-care workers are not immigration officials deciding who the should or should not treat. This is against the principles of the NHS and the idea that sick people would be denied treatment just because they failed to have the correct paperwork when seeking help is shocking. This is just another attack on peoples rights by the current government and another burden they will place on our NHS. Can you imagine being turned away from a doctors surgery or a hospital just because they can not tick a box on a form confirming your identity. This will affect a wide range of people including both British citizens and migrants as well as asylum seekers. Are receptionist in wards and surgeries going to be asked to refuse people access to medical services? Are we going to have Immigration Officers in every medical facility to check peoples' documents? What will the government do if someone is refused access and later dies as a result? The government has to stop this and come up with a better idea. Placing the burden of deciding who to treat or not is not something our NHS should be doing. They have enough with treating people who are seriously sick and ill.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steven Redpath

Demand the UN condemn USA Govt. and force US Federal intervention to stop attacks on DAPL protectorsThis will set a trend through the western world that it is ok to beat, shoot and blow up unarmed peaceful citizens of the respective countries. Firing grenades into crowds, whether a fragmentation, concussion or a flash grenade has the potential to kill and is considered lethal force. These are unarmed civilians, not combatants and they are citizens of America being massacred by the Federal Establishment of the USA, much as many other countries around the world have been. Attacks on journalists are also a clear violation of international human rights and the destruction of media equipment shows an agenda to hide the true level of violence being inflicted upon unarmed civilians at Standing Rock.114 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Allain

move the world cupAt present, the host nation is Russia. This country has been bombing civilians in Aleppo. Those people, including women and children now have no hospital because the last remaining hospital was destroyed by Syrian and Russian airforces. Russia is not a fit and proper nation for international sporting events.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by chris foren

Make Michael Forbes "Trump's Nemesis" Ambassador to the USADonald Trump thinks he can choose seven times failed parliamentary candidate, professional bigot and amateur clown, Nigel Farage, to be our Ambassador to the USA. That is outrageous and not his choice. In order to reassert the democratic rights of the British people please install Michael Forbes as the UK Ambassador to the USA. Michael has shown his tenacious ability to stand up to Donald Trump's bullying time and again and as a former Scotsman of the year he has a stronger democratic mandate than Farage. To read up more about Michael's heroic stance see here: http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2012/12/anti-trump-farmer-michael-forbes-wins-scotsman-of-the-year-award http://fortune.com/2016/06/22/donald-trump-scotland-golf/ Please sign and share6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jaz Rocha

Support for Scotland’s Council Leaders: Unaccompanied Minors WelcomeLocal Councils decide how many unaccompanied minors they will take in their area; that means that at a local level we can make a real difference for refugees and asylum seekers. THIS FRIDAY, 25th November 2016, the leaders of all the Local Authorities in Scotland will meet at COSLA, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, in Edinburgh. The transfer protocol for Unaccompanied Minors will be discussed. COSLA is “your local voice, nationally”. We want our local councils and COSLA to take courage from the fact that we support them welcoming refugees and asylum seekers to the area where we live. They need to hear from us this week. We hope you will encourage individuals to write directly to their local councillors as part of the campaign to Protect Refugee Children here: https://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/campaigning/protect-refugee-children The charity “Help Refugees” highlight concerns for the approx. 1000 vulnerable children and young people in accommodation centres across France who still have no information about what process lies in front of them. This uncertainty can cause children to take matters into their own hands, abscond and put themselves in danger. The campaign group Liberty remind us that child refugees endure violence and separation from family members; lose access to education, healthcare, the support of their communities and often face bleak and uncertain futures. Children seeking sanctuary across Europe face routine exploitation and abuse. Many have already disappeared into the hands of traffickers. Local and central government must work together to ensure the Dubs scheme fulfils its potential as a lifeline for some of Europe’s most vulnerable children. We recognise that there are young people in the UK who are homeless or about to become homeless. We do not believe it is a choice between these vulnerable groups, but rather that we protect them both. Could you become a foster carer? You can register your interest here: http://www.homeforgood.org.uk/what-we-do/responding-refugee-crisis You can also use this link to write to your local councilors, MPs and MSPs: https://www.writetothem.com534 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Kirstin Unger

Rip off employment agenciesThey have created a system of throw away workers who have no job security and who cannot get access to loans , mortgages or job training. All certificates, licences or training for any job has to be paid for by the worker out of whats left of their wages after they have had to pay for all the employers fees and pay the umbrella company just to be paid for the work they have done. These agencies and payment companies are taking hundreds of millions of pounds that hard working men and women have earned and lining their pockets while the people who have done the actual hard work are left to struggle day to day with no guarantee of work on a daily basis.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by tom wood
