• Put an ambulance back in Gower
    There was a once an ambulance station located in Reynoldston Gower which responded to 999 calls. This has long gone, and this has left the people of Gower without any ambulance cover. The delays cost lives and the residents DESERVE a safer service. Speaking from personal experience earlier this year, my father suffered with a massive heart attack, we called the emergency services numerous times (over an hour time period) for assistance and on our last call to them we were told by the operator that there was no ambulance coming for him at the moment and if at all possible, to find someone with a car who could take him to hospital ourselves. We managed to get hold of a family member who lives in the city centre of Swansea, and they came to Pennard to assist with transferring my dad from the house to the car in order to take him to hospital. As you can appreciate, his heart attack was so big that if we hadn't of taken this action or, if none of us had a car, or didn't drive, then he could have died. We were so very lucky on this occasion and the service we received in hospital was second to none (Thank you!), but we don't want this to happen to any of our neighbours or families, or friends, just because of where they happen to live at a time where they are at their most vulnerable and in need of emergency/medical, specialist assistance. Please bring back an ambulance to this area, it would be an excellent use of resources.

  • Stop the NHS data grab
    Our medical records have always been private and confidential and the government are sneaking through a decision to allow our files to bought. Without any notice or consultation and under the proviso of making our care better in the future. They are using the covid crisis as a blanket to cover this story up.

  • Stop our personal medical records being taken by NHS Digital
    Unless each of us opts out by 23 June 2021, our individual medical records from the time we were born or first registered with a GP practice, are to be extracted by NHS Digital (at the Government's behest) from 1 July 2021. This will include data about your symptoms, diagnoses and physical, and mental health - your private and confidential health data. These data will then be used for planning and possibly for research purposes and potentially sold for financial profit. This includes the summary of conversations you have had with your GP in the understanding that you were speaking in complete privacy. These data should be protected, not shared. I ask you to support the urgent cessation of this data extraction.

  • Regulate the sale of petrol and diesel
    Lack of regulation is leading to a post code lottery with regards to forecourts and service stations, with oulets from the same supplier within a few miles of each other charging different prices. When wholesale fuel prices fall these savings are not always passed on to the consumer, whereas increases invariably lead to immediate price hikes. Consumers are being ripped off.

  • Remove All Flammable Cladding
    Since the Grenfell fire in June 2017 which claimed 72 lives, thousands of other housing blocks nationwide have been identified as having flammable cladding systems which contributed to the Grenfell tragedy. Residents in these housing blocks are facing ridiculously high costs for insurance, waking watches and remedial works to remove the cladding, despite them not being at fault. The Government pledged £5 billion to remove all ACM Grenfell style cladding on buildings over 18 meters, however this is not enough money and 4 years on over 300 buildings still have ACM cladding systems. This figure does not include other flammable cladding systems and buildings under 18 meters. Residents live in constant fear of fires in their buildings. Sarah, a first-time buyer, bought her flat in Leeds at 28. At 29 she went bankrupt due to the crisis. Sarah will not be the only one to go bankrupt - thousands, if not millions, more will go bankrupt too. The Government must protect all residents from the cost of fixing unsafe buildings and they need to make more funding available so that all buildings can be made safe in the next 12 months.

  • Stop 3G pitch development on Papplewick Pavilion
    The planning has been submitted to turn the area into a commercial 3G football pitch and academy. Meaning large floodlit artificial pitches being used for commercial gain. This deprives the area of a much loved green space and negatively impacts quality of life for residents on the estate In the middle of a housing estate this would cause noise, light and traffic pollution

  • Apronectomy on NHS
    My husband had a Gastric Bypass a few years ago ,but when he was due to have the excess skin removed after loosing weight he was unable to have it done on the NHS as Apronectomy is now classed as cosmetic & became a cut back. He has COPD that is made worse with carrying the weight of the excess skin , has painful neck & shoulders ,walks with a crutch because he feels he could fall , also gets leg ulcers & could get them under the skin , he has a heart problem ,we can't have intimacy in our marriage . Because he gets breathless ,we can't go on nice walks together . Which makes me sad when I see couples out walking , and I walk with a group instead or on my own. How can the Government say this operation to remove excess stomach skin is cosmetic ,when it's medical & important for the health & wellbeing of the person concerned.

  • End Barren Battery Cages for Quails
    A barren battery cage ban was introduced in through the EU to protect the welfare of laying hens but it wasn't extended to include the beautiful egg laying quail. The vast majority of Quail are farmed intensively in barren battery cages or overcrowded barns. The EU produces over 100 million Quail but the industry is unregulated and there are no official published stastics on this. It blows our mind that there is still an unregulated industry. Quail is positioned and marketed as a "luxury" high end product that is a delicacy. Yet Quail are farmed intensively in battery cages and overcrowded barns. Many have as little space as a beer mat. The Quail industry creates suffering on an enormous scale when there is a better way. You can be the change by signing and sharing this petition to regulate the Quail industry. We believe we really all can be the change when we work together. Barren Battery Quail industries don't exist for hens due to regulations and they don't need to exist for Quails. Be the change and sign today.

  • Start Covid public enquiry immediately
    Following the recent serious claims made by Dominic Cummings, it is essential to investigate what lessons can be learnt from the Government's handling during the pandemic. This should be via a fast-tracked public enquiry with evidence given under oath and the findings published before the next General Election.

  • Abolish the Right to Buy Scheme in England
    In 2019, there was 280,000 people made homeless according to Shelter. This in itself highlights how the UK should follow in Scotland and Wales' footsteps by abolishing the RTB scheme this will help to protect the social housing and will allow for local authorities to house families on waiting lists. One of the main issues surrounding RTB is that the amount of social housing that is sold off, is almost never replaced as the UK Government previously promised due to a severe lack of funding within the housing markets. It can also be seen through Government statistics that some social housing is sold for around 5 times the price of the original Right To Buy price, showing how the RTB scheme is not so much in the peoples favour but now rather private landlords and for private developers sales. Join the fight of #goodbyeRTB and help us abolish the scheme that no longer favours the UK's people.
