Disabled people to be treated with respect and dignity by AtosIt creates fear, anxiety, distress and an exacerbation of a disabled persons conditions. If somebody has to travel out of area for an assessment it may cause the individual pain, anxiety, panic attacks and other symptoms of their illnesses. People have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. It is not the individuals fault that they are sick and need to rely on the state for financial support. Many people with disabilities have worked and been active members of society. Illness can happen to any of us. People are human with feelings and should not be made to feel humiliated and undeserving whilst attending assessments. An empathetic nature is vital when carrying out health assessments. Nearly all disabled people want to continue working, Nobody wants to struggle financially, have their independence taken away and experience life changing illnesses. The assessors need to be aware of this. It's important to ensure that if somebody is suffering from a mental health illness they are assessed by somebody that works in the Mental health field. If somebody has Parkinsons Disease they need to be assessed by somebody who works in Neurology. An assessor can not understand and individuals needs if they have no knowledge of the illness. Claimants have been unable to attend their assessments because it has been too far to travel. This must be taken into account . It's obvious that if somebody is in a wheelchair it's going to be difficult for them or if somebody is agoraphobic getting to an assessment centre may be impossible. Claimants should not be sanctioned if they have a genuine reason for not being able to turn up. There should be a complete overhaul of the way assessments are devised, dealt with and carried out by Atos and DWP. Disabled people are committing suicide because of the way they have been treated by this organisation the number of which is being hidden from the public. The true statistics should be published89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Rebecca Adams

Stop HS2It will cost every man woman and child in the UK £780.00 each, assuming it's on budget. There isn't sufficient people that will use the service to make it worth while. The say the trains will hold 1100 people and they will run every 3 minutes, that's 22,000 people per hour. In 10 hours that would be 220,000 where will they all go?30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Staton

Remove the compulsory requirement for a skirt only logo from heathlane academy uniform.I believe this is an unfair and unneeded cost. And mildly sexist despite the boys apparebtly being able to wear skirts. We also tried to get the logo added to less expensive skirts to be told this is not allowed.67 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hayley Jenkins

Bring up NHS funds for mental health services around Norfolk, UK.Only 2% of NHS funds go to mental health services. I struggle with mental health problems and i know a lot of other people who also struggle with mental health problems. We have had to wait for a long time until getting referred. This is dangerous because I know people who are of danger to themselves and they still had to wait months until actually getting help regarding their issues. More money needs to be funded to mental health services around my area because the low amount of help in a long period of time people actually get is terrible. I, myself am having to wait months (for the second time) to get therapy. I am a self-harming adolescent who is severely depressed, OCD and anxious. I think it's a dangerous amount of time to wait for getting help. It needs to change. As soon as possible. Please.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Phoebe Sanders

Battle of Britain CollectionThe Battle of Britain was a pivotal moment during World War 2, the collection of all the various types that fought in that conflict are currently together under one roof which makes it unique. To break this up and distribute the aircraft to various locations as individual exhibits will rob visitors of seeing friend and foe collectively. The reason for this is being cited as a need for a "Visitor Centre", well a museum is a "Visitor Centre",20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Bennett

Teach cooking to children and parentsBecause we have generations of parents and children who are unable to cook and are not aware enough of how to provide healthy and nutritious food to their families, hence the health issues and sometimes misguided use of wages or benefit money on poor quality foods by some parents. It is the responsibility of more than the Education Minister. Jamie Oliver tried hard to help with this but even he needs more support to make it work.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Christine Griffiths

Ban Dangerous Pesticides in WalsallThe use of glyphosates has already been banned or restricted in 8 countries. It is not acceptable that ourselves, our children and the animals we share our community with are being routinely exposed to these chemicals whether we like it or not. This is a matter of great importance for those of us who care about each other's health and the health of our children, our cats, our dogs and all the flora and fauna of this city, of course including our beloved bees.

Stop Syrian BombingsAir strikes are indiscriminate and deadly. They kill and maim en mass and are based on so called 'intelligence'. The current viral circulation of little Omran Daqneesh dusty and bloodied in an ambulance has once again gripped the world. But what of little Aylan in Sept. 2015? He drowned trying to escape the horrendous conflict in Syria that have killed well in excess of 300,000 people and displaced millions more. What of the M10 hospital bombing in early August? These viral stories are swiftly forgotten by our media but must not be allowed. Please sign and force this issue to be discussed once more in parliament.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Craig Tolmie

Build A Road From Fort William To CaolFor four months, during the high season there are frequent two mile tailbacks with traffic crawling in first gear and when there are accidents - which are unfortunately way too frequent - the whole of Fort William grinds to a halt for hours on end. This is having a terrible effect on the local economy and on tourism. It could easily be rectified with the addition of an alternative route to Caol. If money can be found to build a second road bridge over the mighty Forth then surely money can be found to build a bridge over the humble River Lochy.1,662 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Dee Sunshine
