Successful Campaigns

We Won! 10/04/15 After a long campaign that saw the community stand up for one of its local assets, Wandsworth Council finally stepped in and used its powers to protect the Wheatsheaf from sale

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.

UPDATE: 16/03/16 - We won! Last night we heard the great news that Bristol council voted in favour of our motion. Survivors of domestic abuse in Bristol are now to be given top priority to be rehoused. Thank you all so so much for your support. Can't quite believe it, hasn't sunk in yet.

UPDATE: GREAT NEWS: WE WON! Staffordshire council have announced that they’re scrapping plans to start charging pupils £380 to get to school.

We won! HSBC have removed the anti-homeless spikes from outside the New Street branch. Read more here: https://home.38degrees.org.uk/2015/11/27/homeless-spikes-campaign-win-birmingham-hsbc/

As you'll see from the last update, the County Council accidentally left a PDF of the contract on their website which could be unredacted if converted to a word processing file. This got out into the public domain and is still (as far as I know) viewable online, although the council have of course replaced it on their site. So an accidental win!

This campaign was a success! Well done to everybody who took part and stood up for Friern Barnet Library. We did it!

UPDATE: 12th January - Great news, our campaign worked! Cambridgeshire County Council have agreed to change their plans to cut lollipop ladies and men.

Update 29/05/15: We won! The Community Trust's bid to build a new library on the existing site was yesterday approved by the council. Thanks so much for your enthusiastic support which helped achieve this great result. Read more here: http://38d.gs/1PSuuAt

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!
