Zebra CrossingSo many cars, and while there are crossings, there are very far away and inconvenient to cross. This prioritising cars in the city and displacing the right of people. Critical to allow pedestrians to have right on the road and hopefully reduce car use.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Iain Duke

Nationally Recognise Pubs/Clubs & Venues as Community AssetsPlease consider any local café, restaurant, pub, clubs/sports associations and village hall a community asset, i.e. somewhere people can gather and socialise and ensure that these establishments are protected under Planning Law. Under current planning law a change of use is permitted through the planning application process, which in turn initiates a "consultation" process i.e. the community has the opportunity to object to an application. However Planning Officers have a tendency to ignore objections and rubber stamp development, a recent example local to me had 700 petitioned objections 13 written and the support of a Local Councillor, planning was still granted. The Government must support the community and prevent Council's and developers ignoring the wish of the local populous. Media reports that society is changing, and that the mental health of the nation is suffering, could this be because people have become insular by not going out. Pub’s, as an example, used to be a place where the local community met, socialised and resolved local issues between themselves, everybody knew their neighbour, their neighbour’s kids, etc. This sense of community is rapidly being lost. People are sitting at home becoming keyboard warriors and panicking over fake-news, they do not have an outlet to talk to others, attributing to the overall mental health of a Nation. Community assets should be protected by Law and encouraged with lesser rents, exemption from business rates, they after all are providing a service to the public, the local community and at times law enforcement. If a building cannot be maintained in it's current use, an alternative use that benefits the community would be preferable, i.e. conversion to a youth club rather that developed for profit.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jon Buller

Keep Manchester Diabetes Centre on Hathersage RoadMany of the patients who attend Manchester Diabetes Centre have mobility issues. Not all but a considerable amount. Enforcing wheelchair users who have become accustomed to the large car park and one tier access are going to struggle in a busy hospital environment. The staff at the centre are always a constant, which gives people suffering with chronic illnesses some comfort and less feeling of anxiety.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah Milne

Save Struan LodgeLess than two years ago the Cowal and Bute communities made it clear that they strongly opposed the closure or Struan Lodge and Thomson Court respectively. It is simply immoral, unethical and unthinkable that vulnerable elderly residents and their families should have to be put through this cruel and stressful process once again. Our health and care services must be kept in public ownership for allmif us now and in future.81 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Duncan Macgillivray

Dedicate a pillar at MK Rose to the creation of the NHSThe NHS will this year be celebrating its 70th birthday having been founded on July 5th 1948. For 7 decades the NHS has been treating the people of this country, from cradle to grave, regardless of their ability to pay and it regularly tops surveys asking people what makes them feel proud to be British. The NHS, since it was created, has achieved much. The NHS has delivered over 44 million (and counting) babies, carries out around 7 millions operations each year and treats more than 1 million patients every 36 hours. We are proud of our NHS, and would like to see its creation celebrated in Milton Keynes.13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Williams

Is Your Drinking Water Safe?In the USA, glyphosate from Roundup has been found in the water table many miles from where it was applied to the land. This is contrary to the claims of Monsanto who disregard any adverse evidence from independent scientists of the toxicity of Roundup . Following the decision of the EU to renew the license for RoundUp for a further five years it is essential that the water in our reservoirs is routinely analysed and accurate levels of glyphosate ascertained both before and after filtration for two reasons. Firstly to ensure that the filtration system is working efficiently should there be any glyphosate detected in the water source and secondly to have an on- going record of any levels of contamination from "run off" from agricultural land to which Roundup has been applied. At present the Water authorities make their own risk assessment as to whether to test for the levels of glyphosate and AMPA (the breakdown product) . Sadly South West Water , the most expensive provider in the UK, serving Cornwall, Devon, and parts of Somerset and Dorset are upholding their decision NOT to test for this widely used and noxious chemical. Non profit making, Welsh Water by comparison test routinely and accurately for glyphosate and AMPA levels and make the figures freely available. It took four months of investigation to get the answer "No" to the question "Do SWWater test for glyphosate in their water supply?" It is time for legislation to make testing mandatory, followed hopefully by deprivatisation of all water authorities and a return to public ownership.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jill Cadman

Emotional surport dogsIn the uk 16 million people suffer with a mental health issue, thats 1 in 4 people thats a stagaring amount. Recent and past studies have proven the good efects of a animal with suffers of depresion, anxiaty, even with our servive men and woman with PTSD. I want our government to recognise that animals can be an emotional support for a mental health suffer and prove invaluable in allowing a suffer to carry out day to day tasks. In the UK emotional support dogs are not recognised as our service dogs are, so they cannot go to work with us, go into a shop, travel, go to medical appointments, these are daily tasks that can be daunting and debilitating for a suffer to do and face alone,with the aid of a support dog its proven these tasks are manageable suffers are able to carry on life go out shopping even go to work with such support from a 4 legged friend. Please sign this petition so thousands can benefit from an emotional support dog.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Wendy Dutton

Bring organ transplantation into the National CurriculumThere are over 6500 people, including children currently waiting for an organ transplant in the UK. A reluctance to talk about transplants is contributing to a deadly shortage of organs available for donation. Figures have shown that 450 patients waiting for a new organ died last year because families, unsure of their deceased relatives' wishes, declined to donate. A further 875 were taken off the organ waiting list, mainly because of ill health, with many dying shortly afterwards. 'Put yourself in the shoes of someone waiting for a transplant. If you are willing to accept an organ donation, surely it is only right that you should be willing to donate the special gift of life to another family." A family's support is still needed for donation to go ahead, so even if someone is on the NHS organ donor register it's vitally important that they discuss this with their family so that their wishes can be carried out. Providing education in schools will stimulate conversation about transplantation and help reduce concerns felt by children and families. If presumed consent becomes law it will not necessarily end the shortage of available organs. Only informed conversation and education can do this. Without a liver transplant, I would be dead. Over 50,000 people have had their lives saved by organ transplants. I spent 9 months waiting for a liver transplant but 15 years incredibly sick, unable to work for large amounts of time, or maintain relationships. A liver transplant has changed my life but not everyone is so fortunate. I know of one girl, who will remain nameless, that died on the eve of her 21st birthday while awaiting a donor organ. Born with liver disease she received a liver transplant at 18 months and made a recovery. She was waiting for her second transplant when she died. There is no guarantee that another organ will be available for me if I at some stage require one. And there is every chance I and many others will need another. Please help me make a difference.72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lucinda Roberts
