Successful Campaigns

The Coal Authority has blocked the licences for the Cumbrian Coal Mine! Good News! Now we just need the Coal Authority to insist that the developers hand back the Haig Mining Museum and Land to the people of Whitehaven. The Coal Authority gave the Heritage Lottery funded Museum and land to West Cumbria Mining for £1.....an untold scandal behind the good news.

The Borough have scrapped their plans! Thanks everyone!

Thanks to the people of Barry and wider Vale of Glamorgan we have managed to convince the Vale of Glamorgan Council to drop their plans for the commercial development of Porthkerry Country park. I was proud to help co-ordinate the campaign and will remain vigilant to ensure this vital natural park remains a home for our local wildlife. Thanks for your support.

4/3/15 update: We won! The Cardiff Drug and Alcohol Team has received another years' worth of funding.

19/12/22 Great news! Due to the pressure you put them under, the government have agreed to pay out the £600 energy support to households in Northern Ireland in January! We'll have to keep an eye on them to see exactly how it happens, but this is a big win and you helped play a part in it. And we know it'll be a big relief to people with the news coming just before Christmas. This is what our community is all about - showing up and never giving up. This wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you!

03/04/14 - I am pleased to announce that today, Mendip District Council have refused the application to fell the Frome Plane Tree. Thank you all for signing the petition - 2,744 signatures of support undoubtably made a difference - amounting to around 10% of Frome town's population. Well done also to those 80 of you that made a direct objection to the council, as that is the forum they really have to listen to.

The trust stepped in and really pressurised the private company (ISS). The reduction in staffing numbers they proposed in the beginning was drastically reduced, and they only let a few people go in the end, and most of these were people were wanted voluntary redundancy for whatever reason. This is a massive reduction from the 89 proposed in the beginning. They made no cuts to security staff. However in the catering department ISS proposed that they would start to cut the canteen at 2.30pm during the day and that it wouldn't be open on the weekend at all any more - a disaster in a 24 hour working hospital! We started an internal campaign about this.

UPDATE: 29/03/16 - We Won! Many thanks to all those of you who signed the petition, it received 6,202 signatures! And it worked. The petition helped to support our MP, Keir Starmer, in voting against the HS2 bill in the House of Commons last week. We all know that the borough of Camden will suffer terrible damage from the effects of HS2 for over 20 years. In order to vote against HS2, both of Camden's MPs were obliged to defy a three line whip. We are immensely grateful both to Keir Starmer and to Tulip Siddiq (MP for Hampstead and Kilburn) for putting their constituents' interests first. Thank you Keir and thank you Tulip for standing by us in these dificult times.
