Successful Campaigns

UPDATE 15/07/15: We Won! Last week the council accepted the application and the pub has been listed as an Asset of Community Value! The first of its kind in St Albans I would like to thank all those who signed and helped get some protection for this community local. This is only the first step on what could be a long fight with the developers who now own the Camp to get the pub re-opened. Thank you again for your support.

We Won! 14/08/18 There has been an announcement this morning from a union whose members were among those going to be transferred to this company which says the Trust has changed its mind. "At a meeting Monday morning UNISON stewards received confirmation from Director Mark Braden that the Trust has stopped all work, both for now and in the future, on forming a Wholly Owned Subsidiary company." Thanks to our pressure with the leaflets sent to the Board, and the petition, combined with the voices of local MPs, the staff at the hospitals due to be affected, are very pleased to remain 100% NHS. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/mps-urge-mid-yorkshire-hospitals-trust-to-ditch-staff-transfer-plan-1-9282554 Thanks for getting behind this issue. It shows that when people get together they can effect change for the better. WE WON!!!!!

Havering Council have now decided after listening to the public to abandon this ridiculous proposal. A big thank you to all of you who signed the petition and well done to all of the local residents.

UPDATE - 02/07/15 - A big thank you to everyone who signed our save the Hopper petition, a fine example that people power can make a real difference. The service is now safe until April next year, but we must keep a very close eye, to ensure that the service is funded in the next financial year.

19/12/2014: Following the threat of a legal challenge by a 10 year old boy with Morquio, NHS England have announced that they are abandoning the scorecard and are going back to the drawing-board on their approval process. We are really pleased that the petition and threat of legal action has forced NHS England to develop a fair decision making process for ultra-rare diseases - thank you to everyone who signed.

20/03/18 - We Won! We delivered our petition last Friday. Within a matter of hours, the National Police Chiefs Council backed down and agreed to a public consultation. For more details on this, see https://netpol.org/2018/03/20/npcc-petition-consultation/

I handed in the 'Refugees Welcome in Lincoln' last Friday morning (11th September) and today I have just read on The Lincolnite that the council has agreed to take 200 Syrian refugees (link below). This is brilliant news. I am certain that the petition will have played its part in convincing the council to make a humanitarian response to the plight of the Syrian people. http://thelincolnite.co.uk/2015/09/lincolnshire-in-line-to-support-200-syrian-refugees/

*UPDATE* on 10th March 2015 the Home Office devastatingly went ahead with the deportation of 32 people to Afghanistan. However- the amazing news is that 20 people were taken off the flight, including Sherdil, Shafiq and Izatullah!

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

UPDATE - 03/07/14 We did it, the camp is saved. The Management Committee of the Salford Children’s Holiday Camp has rescinded its decision to close the camp. We would like to thank Salford schools, the local business community and charitable organisations for their support in helping us reach this decision.
