Rename Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine StreetDemonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine by renaming Melville street – home of Scotland’s Russian Consulate – to Ukraine Street. As you are reading this petition, the entire 40-mln nation of Ukraine is fighting for its freedom against Russian aggression. People of various professions are being armed to protect their native cities, thousands are volunteering to join the Armed Forces to bravely protect their country. Civilians spend their nights in bomb shelters because residential areas of Kyiv and other cities are being shelled from army-grade missiles. Living away from Ukraine, it is sometimes hard to know how you can support the people under attack. However, there is one way you can, simply by supporting the campaign to rename Melville street to Ukraine street. This would be a simple but incredibly meaningful act of symbolic support for the courageous Ukrainian people who defend the values of freedom and democracy from the 2nd strongest military power in the world. As you know, Russia with its leader Vladimir Putin demonstrates quite poor historical knowledge about Ukraine. Russia seems to forget that Ukraine is a sovereign state. At the same time, Ukraine is the homeland of people whose long struggle for independence has been a testament to their unyielding, indomitable spirit and free will. Walking down the Ukraine Streets for Russian representatives to their embassies and consulates all over the world would be a great daily reminder of Ukraine's sovereignty with democracy and freedom as its highest values. Several European countries have already changed the Russian embassies’ address lines for Ukraine. Albania gave part of a street a new name "Free Ukraine Street," Lithuania renamed a street to "Ukrainian Heroes Street" and Latvia – "Independent Ukraine Street". Scotland has a great track record in solidarity with what is right. In the 1980s Glasgow’s St George’s Place was renamed Nelson Mandela Place due to its position as the home of the Apartheid South African consulate. Let’s do it again for Ukraine! We call for global solidarity and address officials, mayors, activists to initiate and support the renaming of the streets with Russian Embassies and consulates into Ukraine Streets all over the world! Thank you for standing with Ukraine and adding your name. Please share widely to get more support. #StandWithUkraine21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Viktoria Semenova

Send our Returned drugs to Ukrainian refugeesHelp the people of Ukraine to have a continuous supply of medicine. Stop the waste of unopened and important medication. Medication is returned to Pharmacies for many reasons, because someone has a change of dose, a change of drug, they do not need to take them anymore or someone passed away, to name just a few. It’s disgraceful when people are going without and may fall sick without continuity of medication .37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Marina Saldanha

Stop the imminent closure of Brighton Health ClubSeveral thousand members and around 100 staff have been left in shock when being informed that on the 21st November the club will close. The University is behaving with complete disregard to the impact their action is having on the club community and the staff who work there. Despite professing to value the community and championing mental health causes, the University’s behaviour is unethical and reprehensible. We ask the university to reconsider its decision and by keeping the facility open and thus make a contribution to the well-being of several thousand people. Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.’ Dear Professor Humphris we would love you to be happy!88 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christina Kadir

Cottingham SkateparkWe truly believe that a skatepark in the village will give children, teens and parents a place to gather and bond over a passion or potential interest in skating or bmx. Currently, we have 3 play parks and none of them are suitable for the needs of older children. They are for younger children yet as older children have no where else to go, the equipment is taken over by older kids. My 2 year old often will not play as ‘big kids’ are on the play equipment. We need a space in the village that is designed to entertain our older children. They need an outlet that is designed for them and there needs; Somewhere they can learn new skills and challenge themselves. A skate park is exactly that. It caters for skate, bmx & rollerblading. All of which are sports that help develop balance, determination, stamina and resilience. It also encourage team spirit and a sense of belonging. If you pull off a trick you have been working on for some time, the whole park is elated! We are guilty in cottingham of caring only about our elders but it is our children who need more of a place in the community. Let’s give them what they need, want and deserve. I want to see my children thrive and have fun in my village, not in someone else’s.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Nicholson

Scotland's Rural and Island Young People's Call for ActionGrowing up in Rural and Island Scotland is a unique experience, with a diverse range of opportunity and challenges. This distinct experience needs to be recognised, and rural and island young people’s voices need to be heard on decisions that impact them. Rural and Island Young People have the support of a range of youth organisations but now we are looking for tangible commitment from elective representatives and decision makers to ensure meaningful participation.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Innes Morgan

The Famous Punch Bowl, Warwick, is under threat.LOSS OF THE PUNCH BOWL https://www.facebook.com/groups/643182409721539/?ref=share Although this Facebook group was created for the exchange of information about the history of pubs that once served Warwick but no longer exist, it might provide a useful space to help prevent another Warwick pub joining the ‘Lost List’. As already reported, planning permission to convert the Punch Bowl into a single private dwelling has been sought - by Graham Beamish Architect, Lenchwick, Worcestershire on behalf of Secret Properties Limited, Leamington. Although planning permission has been sought, it could be denied. Permission is, in general, considered and ‘dealt with’ by the planning office staff. However, if sufficient objections are raised, the application will be considered by the planning committee of the District Council. If you object to the loss of this pub, please complete the form at https://planningdocuments.warwickdc.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=makeComment&keyVal=_WARWI_DCAPR_88306. Refusal of permission can only be achieved by collective action - all objections submitted on this form are good and will highlight our concern. My reasons for retaining the Punch Bowl (and feel free to use any/all of them as you wish) will be focused on: 1. It is an asset to the community (often used for the social, well-being or social interests of the local community). 2. Unique to Warwick as it is the only regular music venue. 3. One of the very few pubs in Warwick providing room for social engagements e.g. wedding receptions. 4. One of the very few independent Warwick pubs - unattached to any large brewery. If there is sufficient interest in opposing Planning Application, it would be a good idea to start a Facebook Group for Saving the Punch Bowl. If there is any interest in forming a syndicate to buy the pub, that could also be organised through the new Facebook Group92 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Evans

Watch Your Speed (Bexhill Road)Bexhill Road has encountered problems with vehicles travelling at high speed for many years. However, since the removal of the uneven road surfaces the road has become a major cut through for traffic, with vehicles travelling over the designated speed limit. Frequently in excess of 50 mph. The residents of Bexhill Road have requested that Brighton & Hove City Council take action, and sadly varying excuses have been made to avoid implementing safety measures. The residents would like the council to take immediate action for the safety of the residents and young children that live in the street.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jade Robertson
