Successful Campaigns

05/02/18 We won! A council has said it will remove "anti-homeless" bars from benches after receiving "extensive feedback". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-42949338

After 1,000 people came together to petition the planning committee of St. Pauls Carnival to allow Bris-tek to have a stage at the festival, they listened. Bris-tek are dedicated to showcasing established as well as up and coming sound systems and DJ's. Justin, the petition starter, handed his petition in and the committee listened. A win for people power!

We need the 8AOT service! Hucknall people need this service - it is affordable, reliable and those in the West (Ruffs, Beauvale etc) of Hucknall really need this service as they do not have a bus service they can easily reach which can get them around Hucknall estates and Nottingham. SIGN & SHARE

Update 12/02/2016: We Won! The controversial plans to change surgery provision at Sutton Coldfield's Good Hope Hospital have been scrapped! Read more: http://www.suttoncoldfieldobserver.co.uk/Controversial-proposals-change-Good-Hope-Hospital/story-28718081-detail/story.html

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)

We have spoken in length to our local council and have now resolved this issue.

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.

Dear Friends, Our petition presented to Merseytravel to allow emergency vehicles through the tunnel free of charge has been successful. I am pleased to see that common sense has prevailed, and that the right decision has been reached. Last year according to Merseytravel figures the cost to the emergency services was approx £185,000. Considering the constant cuts that threaten the emergency services this money can now be better spent supporting emergency services to the people of Wirral. Thanks Christopher Carubia

07/05/19 - BREAKING! WE WON! Guinness world records have made an official announcement and have updated their rules and awarded the record: @guinnessworldrecords "Our guidelines for running a marathon in a nurse’s uniform were out of date and reflected a stereotype we do not wish to perpetuate. For that we apologise. We have now awarded Jessica Anderson the record for fastest marathon wearing a nurse’s uniform." https://twitter.com/GWR/status/1125756441762107393

15/05/18 - We won... mostly. The University is retaining the pension scheme for existing staff, but new staff from the start of next year will not be eligible to join. The petition was an important part of the campaign and certainly made a difference.
