Successful Campaigns

Update 5/5/15: Shepway Council Finally relented and dropped all charges. They had to be content to give the chairman of Folkestone Town Sprucers a mild verbal rebuke.

UPDATE 14/07/16 - Great news! You may have seen the article in the Oxford Time/ Abingdon Herald this week that the Abbey meadows Outdoor Pool will be replaced. Hurray! http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/14612282.Abbey_Meadows_pool_in_Abingdon_to_be_completely_replaced/

We managed to get one of the main aims of our petition to retain Dr's in our hospital. We will continue to monitor any changes and if necessary we will act again to prevent any further downgrading of services to our local hospital at Hexham

**UPDATE** Thank you to all who signed and supported the #WelshBooksMatter campaign. We are thrilled to announce that Ken Skates and the Welsh Government have released a statement this afternoon (20/01/16) stating that there will be no cut to the Welsh Books Council’s grant for 2016/17. The campaign has therefore been successful and we can’t thank you all enough for your support.

12/12/16 Great news! We won! Last Tuesday the Alice Park Trust subcommittee (the body that runs Alice Park) agreed to accept the £97k offered by the council to build a skate park in Alice Park. We look forward to the first set of wheels rolling across our new skatepark!

UPDATE: 16/06/14 Congratulations! First announced cuts to bus fares in Bath for families, children and young people. These changes are definitely a step in the right direction. We could have hoped for more, but the campaign’s main job is done. My next move is to send the petition to Paul Matthews as a reminder of our views. In the meantime it’s important that we all keep an eye on fares, especially in January when rises are usually implemented. I see the final job for the campaign is ensuring that bus prices never rise out of control again.

UPDATE: THE COUNCIL WILL WRITE OFF ALL FINES http://www.bathchronicle.co.uk/Drivers-caught-Dorchester-Street-bus-lane-fines/story-21033373-detail/story.html

Last year the Bohemia had closed it's doors and was threatened with extinction. But after pressure from over 1,000 38 Degrees members, the council listed the building as an 'Asset of Community Value' - meaning it had to be a pub. A new buyer was found and the pub will reopen in Spring 2014.

01/02/18 THE ANCHOR IS BACK! We’re proud to say that the Deptford Anchor has finally returned, to resume its role as an iconic landmark. The petition is now closed as the wishes of hundreds of Deptford people have finally been honoured. Congratulations! WE ALL DID IT! Deptford Is Forever & The Deptford Society
