The Goal. To help cinemas and arcades bounce back after being severely affected by the economic consequences of the pandemic. The Problem. Many businesses have shut down because of the restrictions imposed during the pandemic. And while at present, so businesses are gradually getting back on track, some businesses—like arcades and cinemas that depend on visiting customers—are still facing uncertainty. It’s heartbreaking to see these recreational areas that used to be so alive and vibrant now turn into dark and empty halls and gaming rooms. Those owning these businesses must have a tough time making ends meet, now that people are required to stay indoors. And for those families and friends that used to share so many memories in cinemas and arcade halls, there’s also the sadness that comes with the possibility that the good memories will never be replicated again. The Solution. Owners of arcades, cinemas, and other local gaming businesses need all the help they can get. For them to operate today, they have to receive safety training, financial assistance, and the support from the local community. We can all try to hire them in our private functions and get our meals from them if they offer deliveries or pick-ups. These businesses can also look into new equipment to make transactions safer, faster, more efficient, and more convenient for customers.

There have been far too many Traffic Incidents due to the large volume and speed of traffic using Park Avenue West as a cut through, and it's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured or killed.

Bexhill Road has encountered problems with vehicles travelling at high speed for many years. However, since the removal of the uneven road surfaces the road has become a major cut through for traffic, with vehicles travelling over the designated speed limit. Frequently in excess of 50 mph. The residents of Bexhill Road have requested that Brighton & Hove City Council take action, and sadly varying excuses have been made to avoid implementing safety measures. The residents would like the council to take immediate action for the safety of the residents and young children that live in the street.

Opcare are an independent company contracted by the NHS to assess the needs of disabled patients and help them get the correct mobility aids. They are treating, us, the disabled people as labelled illnesses and not helping with our independent needs... We deserve help and independence, we deserve a reliable assessment centre... Removing opcare will be the first thing the NHS need to do to create a better tomorrow for its disabled patients.

It's no secret that in today's world there are quite a large number and variety of vehicles. But the fact that the roads for the use of these vehicles fall into disrepair and are not repaired is not common knowledge. Our petition seeks to ensure that the road conditions that exist in Birmingham are improved. We especially ask for better road conditions for bicyclists. Even the strongest roads tend to deteriorate. Potholes and potholes form in them, preventing cyclists from riding properly. Our company sees several significant problems with potholes that we believe should be addressed. These problems manifest themselves in the following ways: Getting into potholes causes many bicycles to fall into disrepair; hitting holes in the roadway contributes to an increased likelihood of accidents; avoiding accidents by changing vehicles increases traffic congestion; abandonment of bicycles serves to impair people's physical health. Let's look at these problems separately. The first point says that because bicyclists get caught in potholes, their vehicle breaks down. Accordingly, it must be repaired. These days, replacing bicycles or their accessories is not cheap. Therefore, potholes on the roads affect people's unforeseen expenses, which can worsen their financial condition. The second problem is particularly dangerous because it speaks to the direct impact of potholes on people's health. Accidents can lead to serious injuries and, consequently, large medical bills. When people give up their bikes and switch to private or public transportation, as mentioned in the third point, then congestion on the roads increases. And this, in turn, has the effect of increasing traffic congestion and also an increase in accidents. And the last point is the deterioration of people's physical health due to their lack of physical activity. When they switch from a bicycle to a car or bus, then they spend less energy on physical activity like pedaling. Their mindfulness may slow down and their bodies will become less healthy and athletic.

The proposals would, among other things: - increase fragmentation of the NHS by putting Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) on a statutory footing - embed a postcode lottery, so that the health and social care services that you can access will vary depending on where you live - open up the opportunity for private companies to have a say in what health and social care is provided in an area – creating huge potential for conflicts of interest - allow hospitals to discharge vulnerable patients before they have been assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and NHS Funded Nursing Care (FNC), leaving families to pick up the pieces – and leaving those without family potentially at risk of being left without the care they need - bring uncertainty to the future of the NHS workforce by failing to set out any precise limits to the scale and scope of any restructuring - leave the issue of access to and the funding of social care unaddressed – yet again It is simply wrong for the government to rush ahead with such major changes while NHS and care staff are exhausted from fighting Covid-19 and at a time when meaningful public engagement, including public meetings, can't take place. The government will soon be publishing a Bill to bring its proposals into effect and make them law. This petition is designed to put pressure on the government to do the right thing, pause the process until after all Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, and then carry out a full public consultation so that patients, NHS staff, care workers and unpaid carers can have their say. It is vital Boris Johnson listens to our concerns and takes action.

This is a major Disability Service, it has been closed during the Pandemic and is set not to reopen, this is a huge blow to it's service users. Leonard Cheshire Disability own this facility and Bells Piece are willing to work with them. The service offers so much to it's users for example: Cooking, Gardening, Music, Drama and many other skills it's users would never have the opportunity of accessing.

We pay £9,250 each year for our course to at the end receive a formal congratulations which we deserve. The excuses UoS have made are not adequate and with clubs opening in June, and concerts opening, we are more than disappointed we can’t have a graduation, even if it is altered to be more safe e.g. done outdoors, socially distanced, smaller groups. GIVE US OUR GRADUATION!

This is important to keep our children safe and let people know they are there to make it harder for children to go missing at child hot spots

This only serves to remind the coerced/abused partner of what happened to them and also they did not apply for the credit. It frees victims of abuse from the financial burden generated by their abuser. Imagine spending 18 years being coerced, finally get up the courage to call the police. Your abuser gets sent to prison but you find that they spent money they took out in your name and now you have to pay back money that they spent or declare yourself bankrupt.

STOP THE BAN AGAINST FOREIGN DRIVERS' LICENSE this important? It is important for Ghanaians living overseas to drive cars/vehicles in Ghana with their foreign Drivers' license. This is because hiring cars will be very dear and incur unnecessary extra expenses. Without drivers or taxis their Ghanaian born professional drivers with overseas licenses can't drive and their movements become restricted. Is Ghana after stagging 🧍‍♂️or moving economy? Ghanaians abroad and back home please let us all kindly append our signatures to call for a change to this decision. This is because the impact is real and would not benefit anyone. In case a family member is dying, a Ghanaian born professional driver cannot drive his or her own car to take the sick to hospital. What is DVLA and The Government of Republic of Ghana trying to accomplish? I stand to reason once again along these: First, we are Ghanaians though we do not live permanently in Ghana to waste resources in acquisition of Ghana driving license which takes about one year to be ready, also getting license in a country we visit occasionally when the license again is expensive to come by. If any individual should finally settle in Ghana, the condition is different from those of us who visit occasionally for just a month or two. Secondly, drivers with foreign drivers' license have credible international experience which local Ghanaian drivers may not have and could learn from. For instance, in Ghana, road crossing at pedestrian walkway is ignored by local drivers when pedestrians 🚶‍♂️are ready to cross, over loading of vehicles causing various road accidents and damage to the roads, local drivers lacking entire patience to driving and hence, majority of accidents every year round. The Government of the Republic of Ghana through DVLA should find a reasonable means of controlling the longer use of foreign Drivers' License but not just 90 days to one year which all countries allow. This *regulations will help the police to be more corruptible* in a country where we are totally struggling to deal with corruption. When the regulation is allowed to operate longer in its current state, the police officer is likely going to take money that will never get to the accounts of the government. I can help Ghana government and DVLA to establish something concrete that will accommodate all stakeholders to curtail the longer use of foreign Drivers' License better than permanent ban of foreign Drivers License. Let us not compare ourselves to countries who have advanced technologically to do things right and damage our economy. Let us get things done gradually, friendly and accordingly taking the economic impact into consideration, most Ghanaians will not be happy coming home, if they can not drive their own cars hence, affecting the growth of our economy especially the income generated from Ghana Ports during clearing of vehicles, which is used to subsidized Free SHS and many other projects in the country. I, therefore, suggest that the Government of the Republic of Ghana through DVLA should give this regulation a second consideration to attract our own people living overseas to invest in Ghana because they cannot come here without driving to undertake their business errands. How can they travel locally to their homes or hometowns? This decision will typically dwind

The climate and ecological emergency (CEE) is the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced. Every part of society all over the world is responsible for playing their part in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and stopping the destruction of nature. Derby City is no exception. The climate crisis ‘biggest security threat humans have faced’, Sir David Attenborough tells UN - https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/david-attenborough-climate-security-threat-b1806348.html "The planet is facing a “ghastly future of mass extinction, declining health and climate-disruption upheavals” that threaten human survival because of ignorance and inaction": https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/13/top-scientists-warn-of-ghastly-future-of-mass-extinction-and-climate-disruption-aoe Scientists are warning that “business as usual” will lead to: * Mass food shortages from crop failures * Increased flooding from rainfall increase and sea level rise * Storm and flood damage to housing and infrastructure * Heatwave related illnesses and deaths * More wildfires * Drinking water shortages * Increased risk of disease outbreaks and more pandemics * Economic damage * Mass migration as parts of the planet become uninhabitable due to extreme temperatures or sea level rise * The collapse of civilisation as we know it People are already suffering and dying from the impacts of climate breakdown. Millions more will die without immediate urgent action: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/08/global-heating-tropical-regions-human-livability In May 2019 Derby City Council declared a climate emergency. So far there has been no action to reduce Derby's carbon emissions or even measure them and set targets. Instead the Council has continued with "business as usual" and continue to follow Local Plans that were written before the declaration of a climate emergency and which fail to take into account the latest and very stark science about the state of nature and our climate. The current Local Plans are not fit to respond to the climate and ecological emergency, make no reference to recent UK Government climate laws and targets so must be revised immediately: https://www.derby.gov.uk/environment-and-planning/planning/local-plan/ So why have Derby City Council continued to do nothing? One issue is many Councillors do not have an understanding of climate science, ecology or air pollution and have refused to engage with evidence and reports with policy and action recommendations for local authorities. The Council supported the A38 expansion in their Local Transport Plan which was found unlawful on climate grounds following a legal challenge by residents. The council also dismissed objections and petitions from Derby residents concerned about the road expansion in relation to the climate emergency, loss of nature and increased air pollution. How can elected public servants be trusted to make the best decisions for the future of Derby and our planet if they are unaware of the crisis or the solutions and support unlawful, environmentally damaging infrastructure schemes? Which is why CEE training must be mandatory for every member of the Council and qualified experts must be consulted on local authority plans. Another problem is some Councillors believe pursuing outdated ideas of economic growth and meeting development targets set by Westminster are more important than preventing climate and ecological collapse. Despite much evidence that further inaction on the climate emergency will cause greater economic harm than any spending on action to prevent worsening climate breakdown: https://www.oecd.org/environment/indicators-modelling-outlooks/circle.htm The Council currently grants planning permissions to developers that favour building on greenfield sites, that damage local biodiversity and install fossil fuel based heating systems that will need to be replaced by the homeowners as the UK transitions to low-carbon heat sources. Buyers of brand-new homes will face average costs of more than £20,000, whereas if the housing developers built new houses with high energy efficiency standards and a heat pump instead of a gas boiler the additional cost would be only £4,800. Why is this being allowed to happen? The Council's current decarbonisation plans are placing hope for climate solutions in future technologies such as hydrogen fuels and carbon capture without trying to cut emissions. It is impossible that these technologies can be rolled out in time at the scale required. This is a ruse by fossil fuel interests to seize another decade or so of profits by distracting from taking action now. Green hydrogen and CCS will play a part in a future energy strategy, but in no way permit complacency or delay to action now. Local government has a key role to play in taking climate action. According to the Committee on Climate Change councils have influence over one third of emissions in their areas. Local authorities control transport, social care, education, strategic planning and much more that can influence efforts to curb carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis. Other local authorities are already acting on the climate and ecological emergency with the urgency it requires and have developed net-zero 2030 action plans: https://pledge2030.uk/councils-for-2030/ While the UK Government has enshrined a new target in law to slash emissions by 78% by 2035: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-enshrines-new-target-in-law-to-slash-emissions-by-78-by-2035 All of this is possible and Derby City Council must wake up, stop delaying and act on the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced.
