Gambling is the hidden addiction after smoking, and alcohol. And it can be just as destructive. It ruins families. I know of one family who lost everything and ruined five lives. His wife divorced him. Th children lost a father. And he had mortgaged his house against his gambling debts.. So his wife was left with a huge debt.

The Chelmsford City Council are proposing to increase bereavement charges by around 12%. We are in the midst of a global pandemic which has seen many families lose loved ones and many lose their livelihoods, whether it's jobs or businesses. The financial hardship many people are facing right now is severe. This petition calls for local councillors to get behind the residents they represent and speak against the proposal to increase this charge. This cost will be passed on from funeral directors to grieving families. When a family member dies, we have no choice but to pay this charge. This petition must close on 11th February 2020.

The increase not over lockdown but THIS YEAR alone has blown, it occurs at LEAST 1/2 times a week at the moment. We need to not only support those struggling but try and prevent it as much as we possibly can.

Its important that this wonderful man and all that he did in our countrys dark days be remembered forever

This is a famous British land mark, referred to by Vera Lynn (known as "The Forces' Sweetheart") in her 1942 wartime classic 'There'll Be Bluebirds Over The White Cliffs of Dover' which should be saved. This area is also: * A Special Area of Conservation (SAC), * A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and is * An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

People on ESA universal credit and disability benefits need a fair increase not a mere 30pence .

James Pember from Caerphilly is a fantastic intelligent young person who is the most kind thoughtful and funny boy I've ever met. His approachable and empathetic personality always puts everyone at ease and anyone who ever meets him thinks the world of him. He definitely deserves more praise for how much he is there for others but he doesn't always appreciate himself. This petition is to show him that we all care, and to encourage the Welsh Government to provide recognition of James in whatever way possible. Let's bring him to public prominence for his kindness!

To live more active lives we must recliam pavements for pedestrians, particularly those with mobility issues and pushchairs, who require more space to navigate safely. Now even what little space is left is being taken from us, by the very machines that made the streets too unsafe to walk on in the first place. We need to create spaces people feel comfortable in outside of a car, and currently we have cars clogging our paths, preventing the flow of pedestrians, and preventing the active travel that keeps us all fit, decreases the risk of crime (more eyes on the street) and helps business.

Students whose courses have been thrown into chaos by the coronavirus pandemic should be reimbursed for the year or allowed to retake it at no further cost, Why should the students have a debt for something that they havent had?

There have been calls to build a statue to Tom Moore but I believe that he would rather see something that would benefit the NHS that he raised millions of pounds for in his hundredth year He did not start his task for personal gain but to thank the NHS for treating him The greatest tribute to him now would be to build a new hospital in his name for his beloved N.H.S.

Captain Sir Tom Moore was and is an inspiration to all - showing that signs of life will never slow us down, to remain positive, to keep on smiling and to remember tomorrow will be a good day.
