Fix the Black BridgeThe Bridge is an integral part of the World renowned Wye Valley Walk in an AONB.If it remains closed for another Summer not only will local businesses suffer again,but the Bridge is the only crossing over the River Wye and if it cannot be crossed the Wye Valley Walk will be lost forever.66 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Mowatt

Apple, are you corrupt to the core?The corporate world needs to be told that they profit from us plenty without needing to steal from us. As well as this petition, I suggest everybody goes into an apple shop and talk with the helpful sales staff about their products. Then ask them about the unpaid taxes and inform them you won't be buying anymore until THEIR company does the right thing. Each worker is a shareholder after all, so they have power and they are all profiting from the dodgy dealings.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Calvin Cumiskey

Stop the wall being built in CalaisThe cost of this wall is a devastating £17 million. This money would be far better spent on addressing the issues facing the desperate people you are trying to stop. Local residents in Calais are against the wall. The Road Haulage Association has said it is not a good use of taxpayers' money. A representative from Auberge des Migrants, an aid group working in Calais has said that building a wall will not achieve what it sets out to do anyway: people will still find a way round it but it will be more dangerous and possibly cause an increase in the price charged by people traffickers.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by antonia courcier

Find temporary housing for the homeless in SheffieldBecause no one deserves to be homeless. And given that it's soon going to be winter, it will make a rather bleak looking Christmas look slightly more cheerful.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adam Withers

Ban "Spit Masks"These are barbaric devices are simply aimed at humiliating people. Regardless of what someone has been arrested for they should not be subjected to this level of humiliation. This is a link to a video showing how the Police used one of these masks on a young black lad. The use of these masks is absolutely disgusting and if it is allowed to continue who knows where such practices will end up? http://www.thecanary.co/2016/09/06/met-police-adds-new-weapon-collection-controversial-wont-use-public/14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Barker

Adequate funding for our NHSThe NHS is a great British institution we should be very proud of, but is under so much financial pressure that, without additional investment, it is at risk of collapse. Let us send a message to the Government that the whole point of taxes is to fund necessary services, such as the NHS!5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Laker

STOP Council Housing Benefit taking student loans into account as an income!Currently if you are a university student and living in rented accommodation you can receive a maintenance loan. The councils in UK include this as an income when evaluating a housing benefit claim! I have also found out the even if you do not take out a maintenance loan the council includes it, so a student would have to take one out anyway. This is a loan to be paid back after graduation, not an income.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Walden

Support Daffodils Outdoor Nursery and Arthingworth VillageDaffodils Outdoor Nursery is a family run business which has just registered with Ofsted to provide childcare for children in the Arthingworth and surrounding areas. We are a unique nursery following an outdoor approach to learning and offering something different to families in the area. Someone has put in an application for permission to open a nursery directly opposite ours. It has come to our attention that a previous application for permission to build 27 houses was rejected, and that the change in application to incorporate a nursery is in fact a ploy to gain permission for a housing development. As a brand new business, we do obviously have concerns about the sustainability of two day nurseries in such a small village. But we also have concerns about the increased traffic more housing and another nursery will bring, as well as the change to the village that a large housing development will have. We urge you to please consider the application and the motives behind it, and to consider the detrimental affect it will have on not only us as small family run business that has not yet had a chance to establish itself, but on the beautiful village of Arthingworth as a whole.171 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Amy Claypole

Support Healthy Eating: Two Sides and No Dessert PleaseIt is healthier, avoids wasting the desert, and gives people the healthy option some expect with a meal deal, a main and two sides, denied by the current system, which gives you an incompete main course and a desert you don't want/ shouldn't eat instead. Another of our 5 a day, less waste, healthier customers, better value at no cost except reprogramming a computer (sides are already labelled). So a better offer all round. Why wouldn't you? Cheap does not have to be unhealthy by design, there is a better alternative.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Catt

Supply Teachers part of improving targets (not becoming one)!Many hours are covered in schools by supply teachers and external agencies who employ the majority of cover staff, can inadvertently create a barrier to connecting good schools to good supply teachers. Examples are supply teachers wear a visitors badge instead of a staff badge, they have no keys to open doors often children can have more access, they have lessons in one part of the school then have to go to the opposite end of the school for the next lesson, often when they turn up late to a class, and have managed to find staff or pupils to open the door, the cover work provided is non existent or inappropriate. Children and staff in general have lower expectations of supply staff and this is counter productive for good classroom management. Supply teachers often have no relationship with senior management or TAs, no real meaningful access to IT system and this and many more challenges are often met by talented NQTs at the beginning of their career with predictable consequences. This could easily be sorted by schools recruiting their own supply teachers as they used to and this would mean schools could use their own part time staff or retired, or left but willing to come in for a couple of days. This in time would improve the quality provision of supply cover and drive up standards. Over my 24 year teaching career I have seen state education improve enormously and this is one of the ways to drive it up further.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Julie Angel
