The Royal Mile Market is Edinburgh's only permanent, 7-day, indoor marketplace. It is home to over 15 local businesses, brands and traders, all of whom are based entirely in Edinburgh. The market hosts: Artists, Designers, Muralists, Jewellers, Weavers, Musicians, Printers, Historians, and many more.... Now, a multi-million pound, London-based company have put in a bid to take the Tron Kirk away from us to use as a 'gift shop'. As the current tenants, we have the right to renew our lease at the current market rate before any other offers are considered - which we want to do! PLEASE, Edinburgh Council, don't take the livelihoods away from small-scale, Edinburgh-based businesses. We NEED the Tron Kirk. Between us we employ over 50 local people on top of providing a unique shopping destination and tourist attraction. In addition, many of our profits go directly back into the local economy. We have nowhere else to go. Thank you, The Traders of the Royal Mile Market WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: https://vimeo.com/178314147

In the tragic event when someone dies the family are left to organise their funeral arrangements whilst grieving their loss. If a British person dies overseas the extra stress and worry of having to repatriate their body can have serious consequences to the family, both in a heavy financial burden and emotional strain. Recently a British lorry driver from Wakefield died in Italy of natural causes whilst waiting for a ferry to Greece. His employer stated that because he was not in an accident they were not covered under their employers liability insurance to recover the costs of repatriating his body back to the UK, even though he was still physically employed by them. They did however immediately send another driver to collect their lorry, and offered £5000 towards the cost of repatriation - as long as the family did not tell the national press their story. With the unexpected worry of having to find the extra cost of thousands of pounds to repatriate his body, the dead driver's family were left with no other option than to reach out to the transport community via a crowdfunding campaign. The campaign was extremely successful and over £20'000 was raised within 3 days, because lorry drivers and other transport personnel all over the country were disgusted that the driver's employer would not cover the cost of repatriating his body after 12 years of employment, even though they have a multi million pound turnover. They chose money over empathy, reputation over compassion, inconvenience over pure decency and honor, and they chose to leave one of their own staff member's dead body in a foreign country over doing the right thing. This time the drivers community came through for him and his family, but someone else might not be so lucky. The devastating and heart breaking thought of not being able to bring your loved one's body home to rest is unthinkable. The transport community would like the Government to put legislation into place so this can never happen to another British person again. A very tiny rise in national insurance contributions will raise enough money to cover the cost of repatriation for normal British civilians. Hundreds of British citizens die overseas every year, caused by terrorists or natural death whilst on holiday, natural disasters and work related deaths. Army, Navy and RAF personnel are all repatriated back home, so why can't normal citizens have that right too? MOD personnel serve their country by protecting it and those at risk of harm in other countries. Normal British citizens serve our country by working and keeping the economy strong. This petition to the Government is dedicated to all British citizens who die overseas. Please choose compassion over money and doing the right thing over inconvenience. Please support this campaign and sign this petition. It could be you or one of your loved ones who needs repatriating next. Thank you.

Privacy for private hire drivers when off work and stops our vehicles getting damaged and vandalised when parked unattended!!! *Drivers should have a choice to use magnetic decals Instead of permanent stickers* *Ultimately it's cost private hire drivers who want to change their vehicle or change the firm they work for as the stickers can damage paintwork when being removed* *These stickers are extremely difficult to remove once they are on and have a tendency to damage the body work of the vehicle. It could cost a driver hundreds of pounds to have a respray job on both doors every time they want to move firms or change vehicle* "We think these are unreasonable costs being put onto the trade." *As far as public safety is concerned, you have to prove it. You can’t just say it’s for public safety. How does it keep the public safe?” Taxis in Wolverhampton are already well marked up. We have licenses in the front window with the plate number and a plastic plate fitted on the rear of the vehicle and are ‘easily identifiable! We also have a ring back and text service so that a customer can be texted or called and customers get full information of the job dispatched name of driver his picture,registration number of vehicle, colour of vehicle,make and model of vehicle. What more safety do they need??? “We are pre-booked, meaning a customer can expect a certain car from a certain company only! When they do get the ring back text, they will get the details of the driver,the vehicle make and model, registration number of vehicle etc etc There’s no chance of anyone getting into the wrong car.” We feel that the industry has become ‘OVER REGULATED'

It is important because it has become apparent that a small minority want to spoil things for the vast majority by objecting to Barry selling ice-cream from his beautiful cart in Lelant. It is vital these people who objected see that Barry has the support of people whose common sense and community hasn't been lost and who support him in all the advantages he brings to the village. Let's not let small minded bigots spoil our community, let's join together and sign up here to support Barrys application.

In light of recent losses to our cityscape it is vital that this parade of Edwardian shops which defines the character of the whole street should remain intact.

Im all for dogs being on certain parts of the beach just not Prime Spots which are in force along our Lincolnshire Coast. I understand there is a petition to try and lift a certain peice of lands ban but in my opinion it would have a effect on the safety of 1000`s of children that play in the area ( between Ba Rumba and Bibbys Beach Bar )

A local Post Office is at the heart of a community. But in the last year, both the Pontllanfraith and Penllwyn Post Offices have closed - leaving our residents without access to the wide range of services that many of us rely on. We believe that the Post Office has a public duty to provide its services in every community. So we the undersigned call upon the Post Office to restore provision of local Post Office services to Pontllanfraith as soon as possible.

Ryanair threatened to leave two disabled octogenarians and myself aged 76 at Malaga airport because we were unable to download inbound boarding cards, which they do not allow to be downloaded before the outbound flight. We could not download them in Spain because we do not own smartphones. We were humiliated at the airport and forced to scrabble around for the cash. The stress has had an effect on all three of us and spoiled what had been a recuperative holiday. Michael O'Leary, the Chief Exec. of Ryanair told me personally that I should have bought on at an internet café or an hotel." Why not just allow them to be downloaded before flying?" I asked him. I have not yet had a reply to this simple question. Many people have been fined in this way and I would like them to sign this petition. I have two letters from O'Leary refusing to return our money.

Chris Packham is a much loved and respected naturalist and presenter, who campaigns for wildlife and conservation. The Countryside Alliance and other organisations are calling for the BBC to sack him, in other words silence him, for speaking out in his campaigns. We think his campaigns for wildlife are justified, as they are based on scientific evidence, and he keeps his campaigning and role at the BBC separate.
