Save Rothbury Hospital from closure.The Save Rothbury Hospital Campaign believe that the suspension of in-patient services at Rothbury is having significant adverse consequences for our local population. We want to protect this precious and valuable resource. We ask the NHSCCG and NHS Foundation Trust to think with their hearts - not with their wallets. The immediate effects the sudden closure are: 1. Patients are not being admitted to a low tech facility close to home. This will cause a higher rate of acute admissions to the new Cramlington hospital. 2. Patients are unable to return to a low tech facility for rehabilitation, and discharge planning, close to home after an acute admission elsewhere. 3. Most crucially of all - we are left with no facility to provide end of life care for patients close to home, if circumstances, including patient choice, mean they cannot be cared for in their own homes. The people who are suffering (and will continue to suffer) as a result of this heartless decision are our frail and vulnerable residents of Rothbury and Coquetdale. We refuse to allow this to happen - we care about all of our people.4,098 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Katie Scott

Damian Green, Department for Work and PensionsPeople who have planned sensibly for their retirement on the assumption they will be entitled to a pension, to which they have usually contributed, should not lose out to rich banks if their employer goes bust.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andy Wilson

Korean nuclear reactors in Britain?The Financial Times reports that the Korea Electric Power Corporation, KEPCO, wants to build nuclear reactors in Britain. It hopes to start by installing a Toshiba/Westinghouse reactor at Moorside near Sellafield, and then build more with its own technology. (Ref 1) Nearly four years ago South Korea’s nuclear watchdog said that, over the past nine years, safety certificates for more than 7600 items procured for reactors were forged. Several Korean reactors malfunctioned and two were closed for months.

Please help protect Brunswick Square, Terrace and public gardens for the enjoyment of everyoneBrighton & Hove City Council proposes to ruin Brunswick Square and Terrace with large communal bins. This is in stark contrast to their earlier assertion that this Grade I Listed setting is a ‘jewel in the crown’ and a significant protected area, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. The Council would be going against planning guidance; ignoring its duty to conserve and enhance the area and undermining heritage improvements paid for with public money. There are no appropriate areas to place communal bins, given the compactness of the area, blind corners and conservation status of the buildings and railings. The Council has insufficient resources to maintain the bins and as seen across all areas of the city, there would be extensive fly tipping, fly posting and graffiti. Please support our petition to stop the Council imposing communal bins, so that this unique Regency square, terrace and public garden can continue to be enjoyed by everyone.125 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Fiona Bower

Sheep Need ShelterI am campaigning for Shelter 4 Sheep. Animals are left out in appalling weather conditions and they have nowhere to go to get relief. farmers should be made to provide adequate dwellings for shelter. It is important because animals deserve better. No animal should have to endure days and nights out in the freezing, icy winds, rain, snow, frost! Why do people think animals do not want somewhere nice to retreat to in bad weather? Why do they think they do not want a place to go out of the cold? Animal welfare rules state shelter MUST be provided, and it seldom is. I've even had an official from a council come out to look at some sheep in a field with nothing more than a water trough, and tell me `Yes adequade shelter has been provided, there are hedges all round the field` that is not good enough! Shelter needs to be also a building, a dwelling to go into, to get out of the chilly winds, the wet rain, the freezing cold snow! I have seen sheep die infront of my eyes due to farmers failing to provide shelter for them, due to farmers failing to provide veterinary care for their stock. It is cruel it is evil. Then you get the crowd who say, " They wouldn't have buildings in the wild." That's as maybe but what they would have had is trees to go under, Bracken, foliage, bushes, all the things Humans take from them, to put them in a field surrounded by an electric fence. Also the one's who say - " They have very thick fleeces, they are hardy animals." Yes they have thick fleeces, but they still deserve a place to go to get out of the wet and cold. Would you sleep well if you had stood out in the pouring rain all day, nowhere dry to sit down, nowhere to go to get away from it, you had to endure it until it stops, then you do not always get sun to dry the ground immediately or dry your coat. Would you sleep well and feel ok if you had to stand out all day and night in blizzards of freezing snow? Then only have wet, frozen ground to sit or lie on? No. You would be very ill and most likely die.32 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Patricia Allenby

Stop subsidies to grouse moor owners.Grouse moor owners receive many millions of pounds in subsidies from EU and UK. This is public money and is given on the premise that landowners do something to benefit the public. The poor management of these moors has been a contributory factor in increasing flood risk and in dramatically reducing raptor numbers in the UK. These moors are run for financial profit, are used by and benefit only a very few rich people who choose the killing of grouse as a pastime. There is absolutely no justification for public funding of these estates and I ask that you sign this petition to end it.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Timothy Watson

Reduce speed through Capel-le-ferne, KentThere has been so many accidents on this stretch of road. I have witnessed many and I have only lived in the village for just under 3 years. It's too dangerous for people to enter or exit driveways and people are getting hurt. This has to stop now, we can't allow these accidents to continue. Capel is known for its foggy weather which reduces visibility greatly yet drivers are not slowing down.240 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Kelly Batchelor
