Do not academise Saint Margaret's CP School without consultationThe governors and head have been meeting in secret with REAch2 over the past months and have decided to take this community school out of council control and into the private sector without so much as asking the parents for their views. This is not lawful and not in the best interests of the children. Let's tell them that we demand to be heard. Let them make their case to us. Let's not let them dictate that our children's education should be privatised. We would like answers to the following questions: 1) Why was the decision to seek academy status made in secret and without consultation? 2) When was this decision made, by whom, and with what outside influence? 3) What advice has the school received from Local Authority with regards to consultation? 4) At what point in the process where REAch2 selected as the trust? 5) What other trusts have made representations to our school? 6) Why was the decision to select REAch2 made in secret and without consultation? 7) What influence have they had on school policy and communications over the last several months? 8) What communications have the school received from the DfE and the LA on this subject?40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Gavin Morris

New Look For Admiralty Square / Pepys EstateLocal residents, particularly the hundreds whose homes overlook Admiralty Square, rarely get to enjoy this green space. There is nothing attractive about it. It is made even less appealing by the frequent dogs taken there to foul (who sometimes fight). It is not considered by local residents as clean nor safe nor likeable. A traditional and historic London square such as this, is somewhere that should be embraced, nurtured and shared by the community - not forgotten, neglected and avoided.47 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Janet Martin

Stop messing about with The ArchersThe Archers is very dear to me and I don't want the story lines being like the awful, sensational TV soaps. It is no longer the everyday story of countryfolk leading everyday lives.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jane Steare

SAY NO TO INTERNET SPYING BY THE GOVERNMENTThis the same as proposing to spy directly on our thoughts. Why is this? Thinking people will see that it is only the TECHNOLOGY that changes between spying on our internet intimacy and the spying on the intimacy of our thoughts. Scientists have ALREADY been able to 'read our thoughts' using an electronic implant. If these (irresponsible) power seekers proposed today to spy on our thoughts, there would be such a hue and cry that it would shake the very foundations of our society. We need to make sure that this erosion of our human rights, this constant leveraging of available technology by the ‘in power’ spies is outlawed once and for all. Perhaps this would be a good reason to have (within the UK) a written constitution? The argument that it is all done for the common good is not good enough – not unless you wish your thoughts to be opened up to scrutiny in future by the then ‘democratic or undemocratic’ power brokers. SAY NO NOW.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by john phillips

Keep The Crossings CleanThe way that the shared spaces on The Crossings in Stafford are currently being left, with overflowing bins full of dog mess, and poorly maintained green space is unacceptable and a health risk to the people who use it - the people of the area deserve better.148 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Douglas Rouxel

English medium teaching as an option at all schools in Wales.These policies put English speaking families (which are the VAST majority of families in North Wales) at a HUGE disadvantage as it excludes their parents from helping and being involved with them in their learning. Having only just got the basics of a complex language at home children are then faced with learning another VASTLY different language to learn which is then the sole medium in which they are then taught EVERYTHING at school! This leaves them continually playing "catch-up" in EVERY subject. It also hampers them from grasping the complexities of THE lingua franca of the modern world which then leaves them uncompetitive in our global economy.46 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe Stoner

Clean New Dover Road BridgeCanterbury is a World Heritage Site. This wall is one of the first sights of the City for coach loads of visitors from the continent. A pretty red brick wall deserves better than to be smeared with ugly thin white paint that does nothing to conceal graffiti.64 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Concerned Resident

Independent Enquiry for Scotland v England Goal CountThis is important as there is masses of evidence (sorry, we don't have any of it to show you) that proves that the Scotland v England football game, played on the 18th November 2014, was rigged in favour of England by the Westminster Establishment. The fact that 3 Scotland goals were found in a bin behind the BBC HQ is just one bit of proof we have of this claim (again, sorry we have no proof of the claim. I'm sure we can make a video or something). We all know that Scotland actually won, so please sign this petition!115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Aaron McClean

stop forced adoption nowtoo many children are being removed from loving families, more often than not by force; the end result is predictable, their voices are not heard; if you were to really ask children without using local authority employees; or representatives of, ie; cafcass, nyas, childrens services, you would get the same answer, why am i not allowed to go back home to my normal mum and dad; why are they with strangers, foster carers etc? little do they understand the fragility of their future; no-one has really told them, let alone talk to them, and ask them what they want. forced adoption, and the practise of it is draconian; the same with foster care; that too is enforced on the children that no-one wants to adopt. send them back home, stop wasting tax payers money on the excuse of possible future harm, it would cost far less financially and is in the interest of the child, if families need help; give them it, do not split them up ; and tear them apart because it is easier to do so!! spend the taxpayers money being used to keep them in care, away from their families differently, use it to enable parents to be better parents; so that their children can stay at home; with them295 of 300 SignaturesCreated by peter newton

An end to NFL at the home of English FootballHave we not been "Americanised" and forced into capitalist practises enough? In the modern age of sport, where everything is branded and turned into a franchise for profit, where at every point possible money is made from the games we love, and where tradition & passions are passed down for the pursuit of commercial profit: it's important to protect what we still have. And by allowing the NFL into our country, in what is purely a marketing campaign to see if there is the potential for an NFL franchise in London, I believe that is a step too far. Wembley is a purpose built English Football stadium, there to build it's own history in the one of, if not the most, loved sport in the country. Why should we allow NFL games to not only tarnish the tradition of sport in the UK but quite literally tarnish the pitches we play on? In England's last international at Wembley (at the time of writing) against Slovenia following an NFL game less than a week before, there were brand marks left on the pitch and little grass left to work with, as Roy Hodgson pointed out. Slovenian staff said the pitch was "ruined". This is not something that should be continued, and the FA should not allow itself to appear so weak to America's demands and the possibility of profits they offer. By pursuing a deal to create a London NFL franchise to fill their money pots, corruption is not something they should currently be accusing other footballing institutions of. Therefore, I ask you, support this campaign and end our support of the commercialisation of sport. Let the FA realise that this is not something we want, that OUR football should take priority and that if they have problems filling the stadium, we don't want the solution to be an alien sport taking its place: We don't want their money or their brands; we want our tradition and the practise of real, non-consumerised sports.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paddy Nolan
