Successful Campaigns

Today Kent County Council voted to restore all night streetlighting with the much more efficient LED lighting in a roll-out programme. This is a great win for all those who campaigned for the Big Switch-off to be abandoned via the online petitions and the doorstep campaigns we ran in various parts of Kent. This shows grassroots campaigning works! Thank you for signing the petition Keep the lights on in Kent!

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.

19/12/2014: At a Cabinet meeting on 9 December, the Leader of Cheshire East Council, Michael Jones announced that Hollins View would stay open until December 2015. We are overjoyed with the news, but know that this is only a temporary measure and the service is still under threat. However, without your help the service would have already been lost. We are closing the petition now and hope to start again in 2015 to try to ensure that this valuable facility stays open.

We won! 18/11/17 Dear friends, I'm over the moon to have such a happy update for you all - the local CCGs have withdrawn their proposed cuts to IVF in Bristol and the surrounding areas. An amazing result! Thank you so much for getting involved in the campaign. More than 1,200 of you signed this petition, and 629 individuals filled out the consulation. 90% of respondents disagreed with the proposals to cut the age limit for women eligible for IVF to 30-35. Some of the comments that individuals left in the consulation are included in this report, and make for quite heartbreaking reading. As part of the decision to withdraw the proposals, the CCG noted their concern that "the risk of a legal challenge is high given the inequality in respect of age which will be exacerbated by this proposal". Too right! I've said it before and I'll say it again - nobody wants to go through IVF. It is a treatment of last resort for women and couples that can't start a family. Our NHS needs to be funded properly so that it can be there for everybody that requires treatment. Sadly, on the same day that we found out Bristol CCG have withdrawn their unfair plans, a nearby CCG (BANES) anounced similar cruel proposals to cut IVF. Please do fill in their consultation and tell them to stop targeting women and couples desparate to try for a family: www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/fertilitytreatment A massive thank you again for your support. This simply wouldn't have happened without you all signing this petition and filling in the consultation.

The Coal Authority has blocked the licences for the Cumbrian Coal Mine! Good News! Now we just need the Coal Authority to insist that the developers hand back the Haig Mining Museum and Land to the people of Whitehaven. The Coal Authority gave the Heritage Lottery funded Museum and land to West Cumbria Mining for £1.....an untold scandal behind the good news.

UPDATE 25/2/14: Hounslow Council last night voted to list our favourite local! This means that the Red Lion is now protected for a six months community consultation period in the event that a developer applies for change of use or redevelopment.

The Council's Environment, Transport and Sustainability Committee met on 29/4/14 and the Traffic Regulation Orders (Speed Limiting Orders) for our three streets were passed without further debate. This is excellent news and means that we now await implementation i.e. for the 20 mph signs to appear. Thank you all for participating. The decision list is on the council website at: http://bit.ly/1mgZWde

2/02/17 - We won Newman university have pulled the adverts. Please sign the new petition calling on the ordnance survey to pull their adverts here: https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-ordnance-survey-migration-lawyers-ads-on-muslimban-cheerleaders-breitbart

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

Local estate residents have so far not won any concessions to their vision for the regenerated estate even though these proposals have been in the public arena for well over two years. There have been repeated calls over this time for the Council to commit to delivering on these demands. But so far it has fallen on deaf ears. Enough is enough. It is more than time that residents were listened to. Started by: Phil Bevin (Kingston & Surbiton Labour Party)
