Respecting Old PeopleAll of us, if we are very lucky, will be old someday. Brexit, and the American Presidential Campaign have brought out the worst in many people. The comments, and accusations, made about Old People are, at the very least, offensive and, though I dislike the word, they are certainly Ageist.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Arthur Sansam

Save Dover Soup KitchenThe Dover Soup Kitchen was founded by Steph Perrow in 1991, and their mission statement is that it is a resource for the homeless, vulnerable, elderly, lonely, and the needy. It provides free meals, hot drinks, clothes and bedding, and creates a sense of belonging and community. This soup kitchen helps many people every day without judgement or stigma it is a safe haven for many of the vulnerable in our town. It would be tragic if Dover lost this precious service especially in this age of austerity where more and more people are struggling, more people are losing their homes and many end up on the streets through no fault of their own. Please pledge your name to this petition so we can let DDC know that we will not stand for their actions and let's fight for those vulnerable people who cannot always make their voices heard. Thank you for reading.4,177 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Wadhams

Reinstate South Elmsall Town Centre Partnership as Organisers of the South Elmsall Christmas EventAs one of the highlights of the community calendar in South Elmsall this event is very dear to the hearts of all members of our community. As such it is of vital importance that the execution of this is well planned by an experienced and dedicated team such as those who have made this event into what it has been until this year. It is clearly apparent that South Elmsall Town Council has been unable to replicate the success of previous years and have completely failed to justify their decision to hijack this event. As made clear by the name the South Elmsall Town Centre Partnership is an organisation with co-operation and collaboration at its core. It is independent of local government and is funded from a wide variety of sources, NOT just the pocket of the taxpayer. The South Elmsall Town Centre Partnership has an excellent relationship with a wide variety of entertainment providers as well as working closely with local businesses. In two decades of existence the South Elmsall Town Centre Partnership have built the annual Christmas Light switch-on into an annual triumph which attracts people from miles around and it is in the interests of everyone locally that they return to doing what they demonstrably do best. Let our village shine and lead through co-operation and collaboration with those who are willing to serve voluntarily, not domination of those that have been unfairly branded "unelected busybodies" by at least one of our elected officials.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by David Allanach

George Medal for Jo Cox MPJo Cox devoted her life to helping the vulnerable, and died attempting to protect the unarmed from a murderer. I believe that this exemplary behaviour warrants recognition at a high level in line with other similar acts of bravery regardless of personal cost.1,335 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Rob Morrison

Save Sheffield Central LibraryLibraries have been under threat across the country. Sheffield has already seen Walkley library sold to commercial interests. Now our council has opened up a review into commercial uses for the Central Library, with the possibility it will become a five-star hotel. The Central Library is a meeting space for groups and individuals, hosts talks by local and national authors and helps people use the internet. It is also a beautiful building, purpose built as a public space, which the general public can currently enjoy. The story of our beautiful art deco Central Library began in 1929, to a design by W. G. Davies and was conceived as part of a plan to create a civic (public) square. Today, the library houses Sheffield's largest general lending and reference collection. The Graves Art Gallery sits on the third floor with a gift shop and cafe and the Library Theatre, a space for local and student theatre companies, lives in the basement. It also houses a children's library. From the start, this building was imagined as a public space from top to bottom and should remain as such.10,965 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Gransbury

move the world cupAt present, the host nation is Russia. This country has been bombing civilians in Aleppo. Those people, including women and children now have no hospital because the last remaining hospital was destroyed by Syrian and Russian airforces. Russia is not a fit and proper nation for international sporting events.16 of 100 SignaturesCreated by chris foren

Save the Royal Hill Community GardenMore than 2000 people have initialed the board to say they like the use of this derelict space. Now the Council request that we remove everything. There are no declared plans for redevelopment yet and until there are, we request that the Community Garden remains. Daily users of the Royal Hill Community Garden range from parents and young children, people with dogs, professionals at lunchtime, retired people, unemployed people, and tourists. The garden offers a unique opportunity for participants to create an evolving environment which is both educational and therapeutic. There are 30 different types of creature ranging from rare stag beetles, woodlice, slugs, snails, ladybirds, spiders, bees, frogs, butterflies, moths and dragonflies, to a wren, robins, sparrows, magpies and woodpigeons. The security of local shops and neighbours has improved and footfall brings increased business to the area. Thousands of people are enjoying the existing garden and appreciate its contribution to the community.971 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Tony Othen

Shut the M8 to traffic for a day and let us have a party!https://www.facebook.com/CarfreeGlasgow/videos/370608413272820/ Glasgow is the only city in the UK to have a six lane motorway cutting right through its heart. Yet, less than half of our households have access to cars. For the last 45 years we have all had to put up with a continual stream of traffic roaring through our city. Enough is enough. We want the chance to breathe fresh air and to hear ourselves think. We need the time and space to come together to start to imagine a more equal and sustainable future for our city. - Scotland has the worst health and lowest life expectancy in Europe. The physical inactivity encouraged by car use is more hazardous to health than smoking: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-18876880 - Glasgow has toxic levels of air pollution that breached World Health Organisation standards in 2016. Air pollution causes strokes, heart attacks and asthma and is responsible for over 300 deaths in our city every year: http://www.foe-scotland.org.uk/air-pollution - A quarter of our city's carbon emissions come from traffic, contributing to dangerous climate change. 2016 was the hottest year on record and the third of record-breaking heat in a row: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/14/2016-will-be-the-hottest-year-on-record-un-says We need bold and inspiring action to begin to address the crises caused by car use. We must radically re-think our cities so that everyone can get around easily and live healthy and happy lives without need or aspiration to own a car. Like many other cities around the world, Glasgow must also start dreaming of a time in the future when the outdated motorway infrastructure of the 20th century can be re-imagined and re-used in different ways. Our annual ‘carfree day’ will be the start.
