Successful Campaigns

UPDATE - 03/07/14 We did it, the camp is saved. The Management Committee of the Salford Children’s Holiday Camp has rescinded its decision to close the camp. We would like to thank Salford schools, the local business community and charitable organisations for their support in helping us reach this decision.

We beat the developers at a national level (Planning Inspectorate)

We stopped local planning permission.

UPDATE: 26th January 2015 - We've done it! I attended the council meeting yesterday, and they've finally agreed to install this much needed, and long overdue pedestrian crossing after 5 years! It couldn't have been done without you, thank you to all of you!

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

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

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

Counsellor David Hall has been an excellent support of our cause helping us in every way possible. Today he emailed some good news that I'm sure he won't mind me sharing. I met with Terry Collins today and he has agreed this is an exceptional one off case and refurbishment of equipment within the fenced area can go ahead funded by the play area group. We are absolutely delighted with this amazing result. The next round of bidding ends March 2016 (our first bid attempt failed in December). Many thanks for your help signing our petition, it made a real difference with nearly 300 signatures.

UPDATE: 01/07/14 We can confirm, for now it's all over and we've won. Sandwell have backed down, due to huge public pressure. A big thank you to everybody who took the time to write complaint letters. http://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-news/2014/07/01/sandwell-beauty-spot-parking-charge-plan-scrapped/
