• Bradpole park
    Residents of lower bradpole and surrounding areas have to travel a mile and further to the closest playground to play safely . The walk includes crossing a narrow road where there isn't a pavement. The pavements available are often difficult to use for pushchairs as cars are often parked up on them and this also makes it difficult for crossing. Despite the houses being planned and built for families in mind a nearby park has not been provided for the numerous families who have and are expected in the neighbourhood. All other areas within bridport designed for families have a nearby park within a safe distance for parents and children. The distance they have to travel should not put a hinder on them attending a park. Parks keep children active occupies and encourages new friendships while saving resources on parents having to travel by car to access play facilities. The fact that there is a large open, unused, green space that is in the center or lower bradpole that is not being used to its full potential for the residents seems wasteful. This area would be extremely beneficial to adapt into a play park to enrich the lives of the residents and it's neighbouring communities.

  • Liverpool CCG To Restore All Funding To Trans* Project
    As figures publicised by Mermaids show (http://bit.ly/2ve9eQR), trans* youth are at greater risks of bullying, self-harming, and suicide. YPAS's THE Action Youth project has played a vital role in protecting trans* youth from these behaviours. Since the project's formation, other local support services have seen a significant reduction in trans* youths self-harming, and no suicides at all. However, as a result of Liverpool CCG cutting funding, YPAS can no longer afford a full-time member of staff to run THE Action Youth project, nor maintain it's full programme of services to trans* youth. Consequently, we the undersigned believe that Liverpool CCG cutting funding in half for this vital project puts the lives of trans* youth in greater danger. We further believe that failure to produce a robust equality impact assessment, nor consult with key stakeholders, community networks, and, of course, the young people and their families directly affected breaches equalities and human rights legislation. We thus call on Liverpool CCG to meet with representatives of the undersigned in order to meet their equalities and human rights obligations and, most importantly, reverse their decision to halve funding for YPAS's THE Action Youth project without delay.

  • Save Somerset's libraries
    Libraries are places of learning and sources of information. They provide a valuable community resource. In these times of "austerity" they provide for families who otherwise couldnt afford the resources to teach their children, and for those on low incomes trying to better themselves. These are the reasons why the Victorians established public libraries and the benefit of all they should be kept Open, free and public. "Google Can Bring You Back 100,000 Answers. A Librarian Can Bring You Back the Right One." Neil Gaiman

  • Revert back to under 25s at Market Rasen House (Foyer)
    Theft and shop lifting is rife. Opportunistic crime is worse for residential and business properties. The elderly people are frightened and intimidated. Families have to witness anti-social behavior and crime in the streets. The police are either powerless or absent. This is effecting us profoundly as a community. Its important for the future of the town that the age range is changed back to under 25s.

  • Help save Braintree Town FC
    Braintree Town FC has been in dialogue with Braintree District Council for nearly 10 years on relocating to a new stadium. With planning applications refused and a new community stadium removed from the local plan, the club has so far been unable to garner support from the local authority for relocation. Recently the council have released the proposals for the next local plan for housing developments this includes land owned by the council adjacent to the Ironmongery Direct Stadium. This land is currently leased to the football club by the council with the lease due to expire in 2030, the lease going through to 2030 but the Local Plan designates 60 houses on the land to be built in 2022 so could be subject to a compulsory purchase order . The land is currently used as a training pitch used by the first and reserve teams, and also the car park for users of the stadium and social club. If the land is developed for housing not only will the club lose its training ground and car park but also access to the turnstile block used for away fans when the ground is segregated. The club will have to find alternative arrangements for training, and users of the stadium will be forced to park in neighbouring residential streets. This would all mean that there is a very real chance that the club would be unable to continue to operate at their current home, and with no support for relocation the very existence of the club is under threat. Please sign this petition so that a football club that has been in existence since 1889 can continue.

  • Reinstate Kim's barrow decorations
    Kim works for Hackney Council and does an amazing job cleaning the streets and squares of Dalston. Kim collects old toys and other memorabilia which she decorates her barrow creating the most colourful display that brings a smile to everyone who sees her. Yesterday her boss instructed her to remove all her decorations from her barrow - saying that the decorations stopped her looking like she worked for the Council. It is clear - decorations or no decorations - that she works for Hackney Council by the job she does and the uniform she wears. This petition is important to allow Kim to keep her decorations on her barrow, as it is not harming anyone, but instead Kim has gone beyond the call of duty in her job by bringing joy to the streets of Dalston. Please sign the petition to reinstate Kim's barrow decorations.

  • Retain The Miltons Head Site for Licensed Premises
    In common with many villages in Britain, Chalfont St Giles has seen a severe reduction in the number of traditional pubs and their replacement by gastro-pubs , restaurants and non-licensed premises. The villagers are therefore saddened by the fire at the Milton's Head and its eventual demolition as it had been a licensed premises since 1901. In order to prevent any further reduction in licensed premises, the residents of Chalfont St Giles hereby petition Chiltern District Council to refuse any planning application for a change of use of the site from licensed premises /restaurant to any alternative use.

  • Retain Villagers Access to Granta Park
    It was understood by the Parish Council and villagers that we would be allowed unrestricted access to the common areas of the Granta Park site, as agreed during planning negotiations. It is an integral part of village life, with many residents having used this area for recreation for over 30 years. It provides a safe route to the village from the Land Settlement to the centre of the village. This is particularly important for children attending the school. They will be forced to use Pampisford Road, which has no footpath. The traffic calming methods which have been installed are ineffective. This road is now considerably busier due to the amount of traffic generated by Granta Park employees. The employees of Granta Park enjoy the facilities of the village, particularly at lunchtimes. It would be a shame if the villagers were not afforded the same privileges of enjoying the grounds of Granta Park. As far as we are aware there have been no issues caused by villagers having access to Granta Park.

  • Bathampton Toll - Another Tax on people, simply trying to get to work!
    I am extremely disappointed to see that The General Estates Company (http://www.general-estates.co.uk) who own and operate the Bathampton Toll Bridge feels there is justification in increasing the charges from 70p to 80p each way – a 12.5% increase, way above the current rate of inflation at 2.6% and certainly higher than the increase many have received in salary over the last 4 years, since last it increased. Firstly, I have requested from several sources what possible justification there could be for increasing this cost? The Bathampton Mill bridge has for a long time been more expensive, per distance travelled than The Seven Bridge, The Clifton Suspension Bridge and even The Dartford Crossing bridge on the M25. During this time of austerity and nationwide uncertainty, when the cost of living in has never been higher in recent history, how can anyone justify this unfair price hike? The toll bridge takes £1000's of every day from people just trying to get to work, taking their kids to school, operate their business... basically just trying to get on with their busy lives. It is an unjust Tax on honest, local people, when the alternative routes through Bath, Bradford or Limpley Stoke are by no means acceptable alternatives. Yet again we are penalised for simply trying to get to work!! I am sure that many local people chose to cycle or walk when it is viable, but since public transport does not offer an alternative option, the toll bridge is often the only route, unless you have time to drive into Bath or Bradford instead. I have had enough!!! As well as starting this petition, calling on a halt to this increase, I will also pursue a complete stop at best, a reduction at least to the charges to residence of the 3 boughs of Bathford, Batheaston and Bathampton. I will also be making formal complaints to MP's as well as Bath, Bathampton and Batheaston Councils to stop this unjustifiable increase and yet another increased tax on local people. Please support this cause and stop this frustrating and expensive toll.
