Successful Campaigns

The council has decided the keep the tree!

East Lothian council finally responded and have explained their tendering process. From now on we are hoping that all procurement will be done considering the views of the users as well as East Lothian as the client. We continue to hold East Lothian council accountable for their decisions regarding all services. they will now be holding an open consultation about the 123 bus service details will be on social media

Positive outcome achieved

UPDATE 24/05/2017: We won! The council met last night and decided resoundingly to reject the proposals. Members of the public can still ask questions at meetings, and evening meetings will stay in place.

We won! The council caved in to pressure and the effort of so many people including about 900 in total who signed the petition both on and off line, to all our activists who braved the cold outside Highland Council buildings and particularly the hard work of Cllr Pippa Hadley submitting the amendment (seconded by Cllr Andrew Baxter) and declared a climate and ecological emergency and agreed to work towards a carbon neutral highlands by 2025.

Stop Staff Cuts at New Malden Post Office has been a success! Originally, 4 members of staff were lost, which worked out to 110 hours. This resulted in queue times of, in some cases, 50 minutes! (No exaggeration, we recorded the time!) Thanks to our campaign we have had a massive 75.5 hours restored. The response to our campaign was phenomenal, with the community really getting behind our campaign.

The Festival of Making has issued a statement saying it has refused BAE sponsorship. It has also removed the BAE logo from its website. This closely follows our successful petition last year, when BAE withdrew as a sponsor of the Great Exhibition of the North. With your help, we are showing that BAE Systems cannot art-wash its corrupt arms deals.

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

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
