  • To create awareness and develop treatment on Temporomandibular (Jaw) Joint disorders
    The symptoms of TMJD include facial pain, reduced mouth opening and headaches which can be very debilitating. TMJD affects approx. 25% of the population. There are very few NHS clinics which provide TMJD treatment in the UK compared to the USA even though there are NICE Guidelines set out for TMJD, most patients who do not know that treatment is available.

  • Tidal power
    Tidal power is reliable, ecofriendly, and can supply a large proportion of our energy needs. We ask the UK government to prioritise this form of power generation as a matter of urgency. It makes engineering, economic and environmental sense. It is a no brainier.

  • The Saving of Bradwell hospital community beds
    We feel this closure of our community care beds is detrimental to the well being and health of our aged population.Whilst we agree in theory to the strategy of 'My care,My way,home first',we have grave doubts as to the feasability to be able to achieve this safely with the current lack of community and social care provisions available.

  • Bristol's Sorting Office: Get it sorted!
    In 2015 the former Sorting Office on Cattle Market Road, derelict for 18 years and long considered an eyesore, was acquired by Bristol City Council for an estimated £5.4 million. The Council has budgeted up to £2m for the Sorting Office's demolition with “The aspiration...to develop a high quality commercially led, high density mixed use development that re‐imagines this high profile, strategically significant site…”. The public ownership of the iconic former Sorting Office makes it a community asset and affords Bristol a unique opportunity to pursue a development which meets the needs and aspirations of the people of Bristol. By replacing 'commercially led' with 'community led', the site could become a vision worthy of our city, meeting Bristol’s needs as defined not by commercial boundaries alone, but by the community who own it. What kind of developments on this high profile city centre site could really serve the communities of Bristol? Do we need to knock down the building - and spend £2million doing so? Does the site need yet another vacant area of rubble, waiting for commercial interests to redevelop it, like at least five other currently empty sites in the Enterprise Zone have so far failed to do? Rather than commercially-led overpriced flats, half-empty office blocks, and national chain stores; could we see community-led council housing, food production and eating, local shops and makers, learning centres, social enterprise, reuse of resources, renewable energy, sustainable transport, art and performance, beautiful spaces and more? If the people were given a voice in the area’s development, what would we envision? So far, public involvement in determining the future of this publicly owned building and site has been practically non-existent. The council have only consulted on a ‘Spatial Framework’’ for the totality of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, and there has never been a full public consultation on plans for the Cattle Market site itself. As a public asset, shouldn’t we, the community, lead its future? A genuine process of engagement, involvement and collaboration with the city’s residents, community stakeholders, progressive thinkers and academics, would result in a creative, pioneering and shared vision - truly representative of both the progressive nature of our city and its needs. We the undersigned therefore demand that Bristol City Council call a halt to current plans to demolish the Sorting Office, and hold a transparent, participatory and collaborative consultation in order to create a shared, community-led vision for the future of the Cattle Market site, which meets the needs and aspirations of the people of the city. #BristolGetItSorted

  • The Smiths Reunion
    Growing up in the Philippines in the '80s, me and thousands of other Filipino fans, and, for sure millions more all over the world who didn't grow up in the UK never had a chance to see them live. Since all members of the band are still active today doing their own solo performances, I would like to make a petition for them to make The Smiths fans happy and do a one-off worldwide tour. So, please, please, please, let us get what we want this time. Thank you very much.

  • Stop Shrinking Our Terry's Chocolate Orange!
    In the U.K. we rely on these guys to enrich our Christmas Holidays. Failing to produce a thick segmented 175g Terry's Chocolate Orange at Christmas is like... Punch without Judy, Barry without Paul, Ant without Dec, a roast without Yorkshires Christmas is ruined! Furthermore, to be ensure we're not stingy with our TCO's we're now going to have to buy double. So not only are we bereft of Chocolate but now we're out of pocket! Thanks a bunch Terry's!

  • too much homework being set
    I have recently started year 8 and am feeling under a lot of pressure to do homework, I have been set glossary pages, languages, projects many other tasks to do all at once and am falling behind fast. At high school I'll have 3-4 lessons and each lesson I'll have a piece of homework due the next week, this adds up. Many times I've found that a homework task has to be sent in the next day and I won't get to sleep until past 10 at night. Evidence to support this petition: *Many children lose hours of sleep, which are vital for concentration in class and healthy development. *There is less time for children to play/ hang out together and have fun, this includes precious family time. *Some children suffer from anxiety and even if they don't some children get very stressed. *There is scientific evidence that too much homework can also lead to depression.

  • Save Historic Hythe Pier & Ferry
    The pier was opened in 1881 and the pier train is in the Guinness Book of Records as 'the oldest working pier train in the world'. It provides a vital link between Hythe and Southampton and is a part of our history and heritage. The community led campaign encourages increased use of our waterways and in turn, this will help to reduce traffic congestion on our roads into the city and pollution levels both sides of the water.

  • Save Shotley Bridge Community Hospital
    Shotley Bridge Community Hospital serves tens of thousands of people in North West Durham The nearest main hospital is 13 to 14 miles away, and this regional facility, which was once a huge teaching hospital, though now reduced, to a shadow of its former operation is, nevertheless, a lifeline to many residents in this vast area of County Durham. The facility is very well used by people from all over the area, and acts as an overspill for the main hospitals within this North East area..The Facilities it offers include: Ophthalmic care, provided by the RVI in Newcastle. Audiology - X-Ray - Endoscopy & Colposcopy - Oncology - Diabetic - Podiatry - Physiotherapy - Day Surgery - Out of Hours - General out-Patient - and Minor injuries - Units and facilities are provided by University Hospital Durham and other Hospitals such as Darlington ...It would be too great a loss, for the people of this area, and to lose it, would engender great hardship for many!.. It would also increase waiting lists and times, in the main hospitals, which are already overstretched….The extra cost and burden, which would be imposed upon the health service, would most assuredly, prove to be cataclysmic!... It is up to all of us, to fight this purported closure... Indeed, for the sake of the sale, of a piece of land, on which a few houses would eventually be built!... A whole community, is going to be made to suffer, and that, is neither justifiable, nor right!....... Please fight to retain Shotley Bridge Community Hospital!...... The area, and the people in it, will surely be, much the worse, for the demise of this excellent facility!...To lose it, is too big a price to pay, for too many peo
