BLUE BADGES FOR PEOPLE WITH CFS/METhis is so important to people like myself trying to lead as normal a life as possible while living with this variable (sometimes even within each day) long term disabling health condition. Just because one day, maybe the day of the assessment for how far a person can walk, done by the Council, one is able to walk a reasonable distance. CFS/ME is a variable condition and if we walk the "approved " say 200 yards, it is the very act of doing that which then makes us suffer and become exhausted! There is a severe lack of knowledge and recognition of this illness and I want to change this and help myself and people like me to petition Devon County Council for us to be recognised as needing Blue Badges so that we can continue to be as independent as possible. We want to do our own shopping, etc., and it is the constant anxiety of worrying how close to our destination we can park, which makes so many of us lose our independence. We do not choose to be ill. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Bedford

Save Foxley Lane Women's Service from being closed downFoxley Lane Women's Service is an extremely valuable service that acts as an alternative to an acute clinical admission that Gresham 1 provides. Foxley Lane provides weekly therapeutic timetable of activities that supports recovery from mental health crisis. This unparalleled service provides support, assessment, treatment and care for women in crisis from staff that are dedicated and passionate about the care they give. With the closure of this service; women in crisis the alternatives will be admission to an acute ward on Gresham 1 at the Bethlem Royal Hospital. Gresham 1 can be noisy, threatening and scary with many patients struggling with an acute episode of psychosis. For women trying to recovery from a mental health crisis, Gresham 1 can cause further distress and for many women being discharged from Gresham they can and do leave more damaged than when they were admitted. A another alternative being offered is home treatment which for many wouldn’t be an option as it can be home life that caused the relapse into crisis in the first place Unfortunately, due primarily to lack of funding and changes to mental health services in Croydon, the Croydon CCG have made the decision to decommission Foxley Lane. This follows Croydon Health recently going into special measures due to poor finances. Many of the service users that have had been a patient at Foxley recognise that the treatment and care provided is the best environment for women in crisis to recover. Many have stated that Foxley Lane has saved their lives.

Marine Lake section fundingThe work the New Brighteners do is important (as our recent award shows) environmentally, as well as Socially and Commercially. Although the Marine section is a wing of the New Brighteners, a separate fund will be set up to dissociate this project from the funded New Brighteners. Our litter picking makes New Brighton a safe place to come, ensuring a pleasant and safe environment, as well as improving the Commercial aspect of Marine Point, (footfall) a major new development in New Brighton. My particular job is to clear the rubbish form the Marine Lake, a definite health hazard prior to my commencing my work here.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter flowerdew

MOD look after ex service people who are on the streetsToday is Remembrance Sunday 2016, we all remember those who have fallen in the service of our country, but what about those who are living through hell? These ex service people need somewhere safe and warm to get back on their feet, no matter how long it takes. For many, living in a military environment would be like coming home, it would be familiar to them, even though it may not be a proper military camp, the buildings, the layout and the environment would be something they could all identify with. Yes all of these people volunteered to serve our country and go wherever the MOD decided to send them to do whatever needed to be done, they didn't question it, they just went and did it to the best of their ability. Many came out the other end without problems, but many did have problems when they left the services and now find themselves living a hopeless life, on the streets, cold and vulnerable and only charities to help them, it's high time the Government and MOD faced up to their responsibilities and adhered to the terms of the Military Covenant and looked after their own. Please retain one of your estates and fully fund it for the sake of these unfortunate people.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Austin

Fitment of Vehicle Daytime REAR LIGHTSDue to shorter daylight hours in Scandinavia, vehicles there have been fitted with Front Daytime Running Lights. These have recently been introduced on all new vehicles sold in the European Union vehicles. Unfortunately, REAR TAIL Lights ARE NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED! This leads to vehicles being driven in darkness without tail lights, their drivers believing that their tail lights are lit because they see their Front Daytime Running Lights illuminated. I have recently e-mailed Ms. Dianne Abbott, my constituency MP and the Shadow Home Secretary abotu this matter, but I am still awaiting her response.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by PAUL SINGER

Restore the Village of Summerseat LancsAccess for all in and out of the village vehicles is one small road that runs passed the primary school. Children's safety is a major concern as there is no footpath on this road to the school, a bus service manages to run a small service that does not reach all residents in particular our Senior Citizens. The road is impassable when it does arrive, as it is for all other essential services such as Ambulance, Police and Fire. The dreadful state of repair of the one main road will become a further problem at the first sign of snow. The village again experienced a further flood to the road and several residents properties again were affected. Incidents involving speeding, discourteous drivers have been reported, it is a matter of time before a serious accident could occur. Please show your support and sign.649 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Denny McAllister

Honour the Brexit campaign pledge to increase NHS funding by £350m a weekOne of the most popular, influential and much repeated campaign pledges of the Brexit lobby was to spend our EU membership fees on improving the NHS. The figure proffered was £350 million a week. Official Vote Leave posters said: “Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week.” The infamous campaign bus said: "We send the EU £350 million a week, let's fund our NHS instead" The people have voted, the electorate has spoken, let's call upon the government to honour that pledge. Let's take back control.22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Wilson
