• Improve access to Exeter St.Thomas Railway Station
    I am Mason Bell, I am running this petition because the only access to the station is up flights of stairs. These stairs are steep and on one side there are 3 sections of steps to climb. This makes access very difficult for people with disabilities, parents with children in buggies and heavy luggage. I myself am unable to access the station as the stairs are too steep for me. I see lots of people struggle up the steps to the station and a lift or stairlift will make access and easier and be more likely to improve usage of the station.

  • Fair representation within the Community Council
    As it stands, less than half of the community council (CC) were chosen by the public. There have been 5 new members since the beginning of May 2017 but none of these vacancies was advertised on the CC website or social media and yet a select few were able to find out about the vacancies and put their names forward.

  • Help Abigail Bolt receive the medical support she needs from the NHS.
    This petition is important as this is the primary reason the NHS exists today. Let this not be another story where a family has to go private with their healthcare due to the NHS failures and government turning their backs on its people. Ultimately Abigail Bolt's life can be significantly improved given a decision to allow the necessary medication be made available.

  • Increase Child Benefit to £40 per child per week
    There are over 4.1 Million children in poverty in the UK. And another new 753 children fall in to poverty each day. The best way to tackle it is by increasing child benefits, so this will not prevent people from getting in to work, getting better jobs or better salaries as there is no taper rate for Child Benefits (unlike tax credits, housing benefits and universal credit, that the taper rate is 63p, this means every pound you earn above the work allowance you loose 63p of universal credit).

  • Biodegradable cigarettes
    Smoking is bad for your health but it only affects you- right? There are at least 124 million cigarettes butts put into the environment every single day in the UK alone. Globally this figure nears 6 trillion cigarettes per year. Nearly all (95%) of cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate- a plastic which persists in the environment for over a decade. A recent report from NBC news showed that cigarette butts were the biggest man-made contaminant in the world's oceans, not plastic bags nor plastic straws. This is one of the largest sources of plastic pollution in the world so it needs to be tackled as fast as possible. Biodegradable cigarettes do exist. Greenbutts is an organisation that has created the world’s first biodegradable cigarette filter, made from natural products such as hemp and cotton. The solution is out there but it needs to be put into practice. Natural parks and beaches are some of the UK's greatest assets. But walk through any single one and you will see cigarette butts. Not only do they spoil natural beauty, ingestion of plastics by animals can be incredibly harmful by disrupting immune systems and causing disease. On top of all this, they cost tax payer money. For example, the City of London spend £3.8 million cleaning the streets of cigarette butts every year. This could be used for other public services which have their own funding issues. This problem is well recognised in the scientific literature and many newspaper articles have been written. And yet, no government action has been done. Sign this petition to make Michael Gove realise how much the British public cares about the environment and how urgently change is needed.
