Abolish the Right to Buy Scheme in EnglandIn 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.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lucy McGuire

The Famous Punch Bowl, Warwick, is under threat.LOSS OF THE PUNCH BOWL https://www.facebook.com/groups/643182409721539/?ref=share Although this Facebook group was created for the exchange of information about the history of pubs that once served Warwick but no longer exist, it might provide a useful space to help prevent another Warwick pub joining the ‘Lost List’. As already reported, planning permission to convert the Punch Bowl into a single private dwelling has been sought - by Graham Beamish Architect, Lenchwick, Worcestershire on behalf of Secret Properties Limited, Leamington. Although planning permission has been sought, it could be denied. Permission is, in general, considered and ‘dealt with’ by the planning office staff. However, if sufficient objections are raised, the application will be considered by the planning committee of the District Council. If you object to the loss of this pub, please complete the form at https://planningdocuments.warwickdc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=_WARWI_DCAPR_88306. Refusal of permission can only be achieved by collective action - all objections submitted on this form are good and will highlight our concern. My reasons for retaining the Punch Bowl (and feel free to use any/all of them as you wish) will be focused on: 1. It is an asset to the community (often used for the social, well-being or social interests of the local community). 2. Unique to Warwick as it is the only regular music venue. 3. One of the very few pubs in Warwick providing room for social engagements e.g. wedding receptions. 4. One of the very few independent Warwick pubs - unattached to any large brewery. If there is sufficient interest in opposing Planning Application, it would be a good idea to start a Facebook Group for Saving the Punch Bowl. If there is any interest in forming a syndicate to buy the pub, that could also be organised through the new Facebook Group92 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Evans

Install anti-speeding measures on Hughenden AvenueOn 20 May 2021, a 56 year-old man was killed by a car in a hit-and-run incident on Hughenden Avenue, near the Lisle Road junction. In November 2016, a resident of the road also died after being hit by a car around the same spot, while attempting to cross the road. Both incidents happened in the evening while it was dark, with both cars not noticing the pedestrians while coming down the hill at speed. We want additional safety measures to be installed to prevent further death and injury happening in our community, caused by dangerous driving.183 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Gurdip Atwal

Call for Middlesex University to implement an Ethical Investment PolicyAfter seeing that Middlesex complicity invests an approximate of almost £2,000 into Israeli companies that fuel violent acts that are illegal under humanitarian law, we were alarmed to discover that our university does not have such a policy in place. A university that prides itself with 'inclusivity' and 'values-driven culture', should have such a policy in place, as where are the values in funding unethical companies?6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Imaan Ayesha

Give young people more hope for a homeYoung people are becoming more and more unlikely to own their own home due to the lack of affordable housing and the high prices of these so called 'affordable' houses. This is increasing youth homelessness and driving those who do own a home into poverty. 121,000 16-24 year olds were homeless or at risk of homeless in the UK in 2020, this is not acceptable and action is needed from the government to prevent this figure from rising even further as time goes on.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by meisha gelder

Sign language for all children in School.It's important because I feel in sign language is essential for us all to learn and when your a child to learn sign language would become second nature. . I am hearing but I can't sign. I feel like this makes the deaf community isolated especially in a work environment. If sign language was as important in schools as Maths and English I think this would be amazing.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Vicki Jackson

Feminine hygiene: Make menstrual products freeThe study, commissioned by Menstrual cup brand Intimina, found a woman spends £10.24 per month on menstrual products adding up to £4,916 during an average reproductive lifetime – 12 to 52. Yet, adult women also suffer from period poverty and the study found that half of the 2,000 18 to 55-year-old women surveyed reported experiencing it. Period poverty in the UK is not a new thing, but it’s something that has come to the forefront of conversation over the past couple of years – starting with activist As well as leaving women out of pocket, menstrual products are also harming the environment. Women in the UK use an average of 11,000 disposable menstrual products during their reproductive lifetime. This results in tampons, pads and panty liners producing more than 200,000 tonnes of waste per year, which can take centuries to biodegrade.11 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kirsty Humphrey
