Successful Campaigns

Thank you for signing the petition Stop the closure of BHA Leeds Skyline. Nearly 1,200 of you made a difference. Leeds City Council cited they revised their decision based on 'the well-organised and effective campaign they [BHA Leeds Skyline] mounted'.

You did it! The tide of public support and the goodwill of Wirral Council and Nautilus in response to SAVE's campaign and the Echo's coverage has brought forth a deal to save this much-loved building - an amazing 11th hour rescue package. Well done!

01/01/18 We Won! I wanted to share the good news with you that Virgin have listened to customers concerns and that their plans to revamp the station will include retaining a traditional ticket office. I think this shows the effectiveness of "people power". The local paper published an article about the petition after it was launched in July and another article about the successful outcome on Monday, 1st January. http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/15798711.Campaigners_welcome_ticket_office_U_turn/

Thanks to everyone who supported the campaign, Inverleith House has been saved from closure and will continue to host exhibitions. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/scotlands-pioneering-inverleith-house-gallery-saved

08/10/14 - At a meeting on Wednesday morning Dorset County Hospital's board decided in favour of a recommendation from experts to keep the threatened pathology service and commit an additional £100,000 to the facility. For more details please read Dorset Echo's article: http://bit.ly/1ED7j4Y

20/10/14 Stockport CCG has disclosed that two important GP Enhanced Services will continue to be provided exclusively by doctors’ surgeries. Spirometry (lung testing) and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring were re-procured during the summer without any contracts going to the private sector.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has signed this petition. Many of you will be aware of the toxicity of glyphosate and understand the need to ban this dangerous chemical. I am pleased to be able to report to you all that the council supports a ban on glyphosate and is looking into what pesticides are currently used to be able to confirm or implement a glyphosate free policy. This may take some time and in the meantime I will be closing the campaign to reflect the council's action in this matter.

The closing of the petition was preempted by the decision of OfCom to not humour the complainants by punishing or admonishing ITV for the broadcasting of the performance by Diversity. The petition was submitted to OfCom, nonetheless, and I'd like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who signed I have no doubt that the existence of of these various petitions will have influenced OfCom to come to the right decision

UPDATE - 13/09/16 We won! The hospital released a statement confirming that the beds will re-open!
