STOP BLACKHORSE TOWER DEVELOPMENTThis application conflicts with the Local Plan. The development of 10 and 7 storey blocks with 328 residential units and a 64 room hotel is too dense for this area. 1. The development is too high - it is out of keeping with the area which comprises quiet residential streets of mainly semi and detached homes. It will impact on the views for many in neighbouring streets 2. There will be a huge increase in the traffic on the Cockosters Road (A111) which is already over capacity and unable to cope with the existing traffic both from the North and South as it is the main link to the M25 motorway. 3. Increase in pollution 4. Noise nuisance 5. Strain on existing community facilities, in particular doctors and dentists 6. Strain on local schools which are all already oversubscribed even before the Bolingbrook development fully opens.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kim Coleman

Product Recycling.By making the manufacturer take back and dispose of their product this will make them produce a better longer lasting item, this hopefully in turn will produce a lot less waste that goes to landfill. This can easily be achieved and afforded by the company because they just add a little extra to the initial cost of the products when they are new. This will also encourage the manufacturer to make their products to be more durable and sturdy, built from better and longer lasting materials and stopping the ludicrous amount of disposable plastic toys and other rubbish that last about half a second once they are removed from the packaging. While I'm on the subject we could also have food manufacturers make their products from vegetable protein like potato starch and will hopefully eliminate the vast amounts of plastic waste.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Gambier

Tidal powerTidal 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.42 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ted Smith

The Saving of Bradwell hospital community bedsWe 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.4,250 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Emery

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. #BristolGetItSorted1,444 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ben Moss

The Smiths ReunionGrowing 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.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ann Nazario
