Eradicate plastic from tea-bagsAlthough there are some brands who make plastic-free bags, Tetleys tea bags - Britain’s biggest tea bag manufacturer - contain 25% plastic. That level of plastic is considered the industry norm. (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ditch-teabags-and-help-save-the-planet-swfjjqzpd) An estimated 2,500 tonnes of plastic enters British urban ecosystems each year due to the plastic hidden in tea-bags. As highlighted in David Attenborough's Blue Planet, plastic pollution is eaten by fish and other wild animals, damaging their digestive systems and entering the food chain in large quantities. All through plastic hidden in the tea bags we’re using for our cuppas."84 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Arthur Frank Turner

Stop cuts to IVF services in BaNESThe NHS Clinical Commissioning Group for BANES is consulting to make drastic cuts in IVF treatment locally. Only women between the ages of 23 and 35 will be eligible (and you need to have started trying for a baby from 33 yrs old -- 2 years before treatment is offered). By the time young people may feel more financially secure, it will be too late for them to access IVF treatment if they need to. But this is exactly the age when women's fertility starts to drop sharply and they will be most in need of IVF and related treatments. The well off will be able to afford to go privately for IVF treatment - but not others. This is a complete abandonment of the main principles of the NHS: that treatment should be available to all, irrespective of wealth or income. Why should people be discriminated against on financial grounds? The proposal to cuts in IVF treatment in BANES is cruel and will be devastating to thousands of younger people over the years to come. It is appalling that harsh government cuts have resulted in a situation where provision of NHS treatments is becoming so arbitrary and unequal Infertility is a medical condition that should be addressed like any other organ impairment and addressing organ impairment or failure should not depend on ability to pay. The consultation ends on 27th December. The CCG is inviting comments on the link below.

More accessibility for Disabled people in Poole!This is important because there are lots of disabled people in Poole, who have no mobility at all. They can not sit on a toilet, an need to be lifted out of their wheelchair to be changed. They are expected to be put on a dirty toilet floor to be changed which is not acceptable, let alone hygienic! This is neither safe for the disabled person, or the carer that is having to lift them in and out of their chair! I.e weight issues. Many families can not/ will not use certain places because there are no suitable changing facilities which is discrimination!18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Danni Jones

Lower mammogram age to 30I have just had a breast cancer scare and have had to have alot of my breast removed and reconstructed and I'm 39. Whilst in hospital there were so many young women I see with breast cancer so it really is important to get the age for mammograms lowered. I was the youngest there at 39 and the oldest was 50. Since my scare I've had so many people on Facebook telling me their stories...They are all under 50 and some of their patents and sister's have died in their 40's. I'm sick of the hard working public that pay their taxes getting treated like this cos of all the cuts. It's time for us all to stand up and say our health comes first!! Big love to you all ❤❤❤117 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Carrianne Tough

Act quickly to reduce speeding; save lives every yearHas a speeding vehicle affected you or those you know? About 1800 people die each year on the UK’s roads, and another 24,000 are seriously injured. Estimates suggest that these could be dramatically reduced by ISA - saving hundreds of lives every year and avoiding thousands of life changing injuries. We will not need every vehicle to have ISA to affect speeding, once a small proportion of vehicles are fitted they will slow down the ones behind them. After just a few years, action by Chris Grayling could save hundreds of lives For more information please read http://archive.etsc.eu/documents/ISA%20Myths.pdf.55 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Catmur
