Successful Campaigns

16/10/17 - We won! Thank you for signing the petition Stop bus route changes to service 3 and 4, started by myself. I am delighted to say that Susan Elan Jones MP has released a statement this morning confirming the return of the services to the estate as of January or a trial basis. The service will be 1 per hour, which is sensible. Thank you to John Phillips and Susan Elan Jones for their work on this. Thank you to everyone who supported this petition.

06/02/21 We won! Under the pressure of this campaign, the developers Clean Slate have capitulated and are now connected to the main drains rather than polute the beautiful river Lambourn. Huge thanks to everyone who signed the petition as this would not have happened with out you.

UPDATE: We won! 15/07/17 Yesterday, Carlos and I went before a court judge to determine if we could stay here together in the UK. It was a strange morning as we prepared to fight for our right to be a family here! But it is with a huge smile that I can report that the judge overturned the Home Office's refusal to allow us to be a family and within less than 30 minutes not only had we finished his session but he asked Carlos to return to his seat and told him there and then that he would grant him Right to Remain!!!!!! Sanity, compassion and humanity prevailed yesterday :)

UPDATE: 19/04/17 George Osborne has announced that he's quitting as an MP Read more here: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/george-osborne-quits-as-mp-saying-he-is-leaving-westminster-for-now-a3518001.html

04/11/18 Great news The Totnes Sunday Good Food Market has been saved. South Hams District Council has reached an agreement with Ray Reynolds, the market operator. The award winning market will continue to be operated under the stewardship of Ray and will hopefully go from strength to strength. Thanks for signing the petition and this played a part in getting the council to talk to Ray to bring about an agreement. Regards John Birch

21/07/17 - We Won! NHS bosses have announced they are scrapping plans to downgrade Broomfield A&E. https://home.38degrees.org.uk/2017/07/24/victory-broomfields-ae-essex-saved/ We are obviously very pleased – this is a victory for people power' said Defend Our A&E Broomfield campaign coordinator Andy Abbott. 'It shows the importance of campaigning, of organising, and fighting back. Because if people in mid and south Essex had sat back and done nothing, these dangerous cuts to our A&E services would still be going ahead. So it's a big well done to the more than 30,000 people who have signed our paper and online petitions, and to the hundreds that have supported our public meetings and demonstrations.' 'However, the devil is always in the detail. So we await to see what the Success Regime's final proposals are. However at this stage it's a warm if cautious welcome to the announcement.'

The public pressure became too much and Mooboo will now pay all staff for every hour they work, whether trail shift or training.

26/04/25 Back in 2022, you kindly signed our petition calling on Islington Council to simplify planning rules to allow more energy efficiency upgrades in listed and conservation area homes, for both owners and renters. For three years, thanks to your more than 2000 signatures, our campaign group has lobbied hard for the Council to modernise its approach and strike a better balance between conservation and energy efficiency. In the autumn, the Council will finally publish a brand new set of rules. Although progress has been slower than promised and the first draft document has been flawed, we are pleased that many of our recommendations for a more user-friendly and cost-effective approach to planning will be adopted. https://www.letstalk.islington.gov.uk/draft-climate-action-supplementary-planning-document It took a huge collective effort by residents and experts to get us this far. We are particularly grateful to Chris Procter, author of a seminal climate emergency conservation area toolkit, for his meticulous critiques of the council’s work and getting the council to rectify important gaps like accepting slimline vacuum glass for windows. Having got this far, it is now time to end our campaign. However, Chris Procter will continue to lead the way with both the Council and residents on all things retrofit. So if you wish to explore retrofit opportunities for your home please feel free to get in touch with him at [email protected] https://www.procter-rihl.com/ In other news, our co-founder Leyla Boulton was recently elected councillor for the City of London's Bassishaw ward, where she will continue to campaign for better and more sustainable use of buildings. In the meantime she’s thrilled to have installed solar panels on her roof in Islington. Thank you again for your support and happy retrofitting!
