Thank you for signing the petition Stop the closure of BHA Leeds Skyline. Nearly 1,200 of you made a difference. Leeds City Council cited they revised their decision based on 'the well-organised and effective campaign they [BHA Leeds Skyline] mounted'.

We’re pleased to let you know that we gained 3,589 signatures as part of our petition and thanks to you our project has been saved for another year! So, thank you! That means, our vital service will continue to reach people from vulnerable and hidden communities who otherwise would not access support with their health and wellbeing. But it doesn’t end there. We still need your support. Plans beyond March 2017 are unclear. We want to ensure that Wirral Council continue to uphold its Public Sector Equality Duty and continues to commission tailored services to meet the diverse needs of Wirral’s BME communities.

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!

UPDATE 31/7/14: At the last minute - less than four hours before his flight was due to leave - Kabran received the news that the injunction against his flight was successful and he would not be put on the plane. Although Kabran is still in detention, this is a massive relief and means he can apply for bail and have more time for his new claim to be considered. So please keep signing the petition to show your support. Many thanks to everyone who supported the campaign.

10/04/15: Historic Scotland recently announced that "We have now put on hold indefinitely preparations for introducing admission charges at the Cathedral".

Following the rapid growth of this petition (8,000 is 3 days!) Thurrock council immediately removed the horses from the Mardyke Meadows flood plains. They have also promised never to let them graze there in the winter months again. A big thank you to everyone who supported this campaign.

Vale of Glamorgan Council declared a climate emergency...thank you for your help and support.

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rules and awarded the record: @guinnessworldrecords "Our guidelines for running a marathon in a nurse’s uniform were out of date and reflected a stereotype we do not wish to perpetuate.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

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.
