An Internet Window to the world for care homes and hospitalsIf you've been in a care home, or hospital, as a resident/patient or visitor you will realise that it is very boring. Other than TV and a few magazines (and perhaps old books) there is nothing to do to stimulate and entertain the mind. This erodes peoples' quality of life, and probably damages their mental and physical health. The ability to participate on the Internet opens up a wonderful array of stimulating and interesting opportunities; and helps to make their lives more interesting again.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adam Bostock

Make public parks safer and cleaner for childrenThe public park is thought to be a happy, safe place for your children to play and make new friends and be themselves but in face it is the opposite. My local parks are filled with drunken hooligans drinking despite them being a no alcohol zone and broken glass and needles and other dangerous rubbish lying around despite litter bins located everywhere, I remember it being a safe, clean environment and so many people were happy but now they both don't get as many visitors and children are sometimes scared to go there.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Taylor Griffith

Apple, are you corrupt to the core?The corporate world needs to be told that they profit from us plenty without needing to steal from us. As well as this petition, I suggest everybody goes into an apple shop and talk with the helpful sales staff about their products. Then ask them about the unpaid taxes and inform them you won't be buying anymore until THEIR company does the right thing. Each worker is a shareholder after all, so they have power and they are all profiting from the dodgy dealings.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Calvin Cumiskey

Battle of Britain CollectionThe Battle of Britain was a pivotal moment during World War 2, the collection of all the various types that fought in that conflict are currently together under one roof which makes it unique. To break this up and distribute the aircraft to various locations as individual exhibits will rob visitors of seeing friend and foe collectively. The reason for this is being cited as a need for a "Visitor Centre", well a museum is a "Visitor Centre",20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Bennett

Grant a Knighthood to Usain BoltWe have a great tradition in this country of granting honours to Commonwealth sporting greats, Sir Garfield Sobers and Viv Richards in West Indian cricket and Sir Graham Henry and Gordon Tietjens in New Zealand rugby for example. At a time when the sport of athletics has been blighted by doping and other scandals, Usain Bolt has been a shining light of clean athletics in a blue riband event. His achievement on Monday morning 15 August 2016 in achieving an unprecedented third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the 100metres final in Rio was outstanding, and he is still likely to achieve medals in the 200 metres and 4x100 metres relay. He has announced that this will be his last Olympic Games. It is time for the UK Government to honour the achievement and outstanding contribution to world sport of this great Olympian and grant him a knighthood in the next Honours List.47 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hamish Hamilton

Give Tariq Jahan the honour he deservesDuring a time of rapidly increasing tension and violence in North Birmingham in 2011 Tariq agreed to speak to the crowds despite having very recently lost his son in the violence: "Basically I lost my son," he told the crowd. "Blacks, Asians, whites - we all live in the same community. Why do we have to kill one another? "What started these riots? And what's escalated? Why are we doing this? I lost my son. Step forward if you want to lose your sons. "Otherwise calm down and go home."13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gill Goode

KEEP THE DOG BAN`S IN PRIME PLACES TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE!Im all for dogs being on certain parts of the beach just not Prime Spots which are in force along our Lincolnshire Coast. I understand there is a petition to try and lift a certain peice of lands ban but in my opinion it would have a effect on the safety of 1000`s of children that play in the area ( between Ba Rumba and Bibbys Beach Bar )66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donna Marshall

Close Bookies DownIt is important because if the bookies were closed down or there was no bookies at all the people that lose money on fruit machines, horse betting etc would have that money in their pocket. Instead of thinking that they can use the last pounds that they may have in their pockets to be taken by a machine.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ardit Hasa

Twitter / Facebook - Tell us if fake profiles are being used to manipulate the UK political spaceThere is some concern that Facebook and Twitter are being manipulated in order to undermine political debate in the UK. Many people who suggest this are accused of being paranoid or conspiracy theorists. Facebook and Twitter have the resources and data to confirm whether or not this is true, and if it is true to confirm whether or not it is a technical breach of their Terms and Conditions. It is also within their power to indicate the likely source of such a campaign. By conducting such an investigation and publishing the results, 2 of the largest media organisation in the world have a powerful opportunity to send a message about what is acceptable behaviour in political discourse on social media, and more broadly to make a strong statement about the value of fairness and honesty in democratic society.19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacob Bettany

Save Chelsea Farmers MarketThe Chelsea Farmers Market is one of the few remaining outdoor independent trading locations in the heart of Chelsea reflecting the great history that made the Kings Road and surrounding areas a place individual to the rest of London, a thriving village. Any plan to demolish this would remove a heart of the community that is different from any where else in Chelsea. Only this site offers a unique outdoor experience to diners and shoppers. The Kings Road has increasingly become like any other High Street in England, however The Chelsea Farmers Market offers an escape from this by providing relaxed outdoor experience all year round to the residents and visitors of Chelsea. It's a unique destination enjoyed by all walks of life. The loss of The Chelsea Farmers Market would be another nail in the coffin for independent traders and individual community space for the sake of the commercial and financial gain of the minority. We need the power of the local residents, visitors and Londoners to help prevent this change to an area that will be demolished and never be re-created. Your signature can help preserve one of the few existing open air trading spaces, save jobs and prevent another concrete jungle from being developed.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chelsea Farmers Market

Employ Beach Litter WardensAll councils with beaches should start enforcing strict (and expensive) anti-littering on the spot fines. The state of our coastline is becoming disgusting and adds to worldwide ocean pollution . The fines would easily pay for the wardens and would act as a deterrent.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Moira Baden-Hinsley
