Successful Campaigns

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.

UPDATE: 19/06/15 - The surgery has been saved. An agreement has been reached with NHS England.

8/12/14 - Thanks to all your support online and in person, at the petition signing events and protest, we were able to reach The Mayor Luthfur Rahman and the Cabinet, who on 3rd December 2014 announced that all 4 public nurseries i.e Queen Mary, Mary Sambrook, John Smith and Overland are to stay open!

We beat the developers at a national level (Planning Inspectorate)

We stopped local planning permission.

UPDATE: 26th January 2015 - We've done it! I attended the council meeting yesterday, and they've finally agreed to install this much needed, and long overdue pedestrian crossing after 5 years! It couldn't have been done without you, thank you to all of you!

This campaign and petition was picked up by Huffington Post - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/mental-health-slogan-tees-campaign_uk_59941182e4b00914164150f6 - which caused Pink Boutique, and other online outlets, to stop selling these products that belittle mental health issues. Congratulations Phil Hill!

B&Q have responded to the petition and made a donation of £8,000. Alex, Colin, Sarah and the rest of the team would like to thank everyone who supported putting pressure on B&Q to make a donation and of course to B&Q for then donating £8,000. The Daily Mirror who ran the B&Q promotion in question are also donating £1,000!

21/04/2015 Following on from a 6,000 strong petition, skateboarders in Norwich rejoice as the council over-turns plans to ban the sport in the city centre http://38d.gs/1HfmkNH

Today (10/2/16) Teignbridge District Council passed in full to accept 6 families up to 30 people in homes in the area. It is hoped that more can follow if it is a success. There was great compassion shown by the council members and it is a great credit to them. It is expected that it will take about 10 weeks for the first to arrive. Thank you all for making this happen. Kind Regards Russell Cornish
