Disabled access on Plymouth streetsI have been fighting for nearly 2 years to get drop kerbs installed on Cunningham road in Plymouth, to allow access for wheelchair and mobility scooters. I have mobility issues and rely on a scooter to get around, but with no drop kerbs, i cant leave my house. I have been lied to and treated like I don't matter by the council, and put onto a list for a fund that simply doesn't have enough money to do the work, meaning it will never be done. I have been told by the council that they don't have a budget for disability access issues and the only money available is £4000 in the living streets fund, while the work has been quoted as £5000. Why don't the council have a budget set aside for disability access issues? The discrimination act was put in place to prevent businesses from discriminating against disabled people yet the council don't have to do anything about it? I may only be one person asking for them, but not having them means my life is seriously effected as I do not have access to my GP, the hospital, the pain clinic or anywhere else. It is important that the council listen to what it's constituents need, are taken to account for failing to fulfil their job and are prepared for such occurrences with suitable budgets.72 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Hayley Harris

Green Belt to HousesFive years ago Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council had voted and promised to turn Bedworth Woodlands, a green field site, to Green Belt. They are now pushing to build homes on it. When I bought my home I chose one that felt rural and was apparently going to be protected. I love this area because the richness of the wildlife is amazing but it is likely to be lost. My resident hedgehog will have to go, along with the dragonflies and myriad other wonderful creatures. Local developers have been building 200 - 240 new homes a year in the borough and struggling to sell them but under this 'plan' this has to be accelerated to about 650 a year. To build these extra homes the council want to move a population of protected Great Crested Newts for 1200 'executive' homes even though the area needs simple 2 and 3 bed homes for local families and the development is likely to remain largely empty. Their excuse is that they must build 14000 homes in their plan but many of these homes are overspill (approx. 8000 - 9000 they are hiding the actual figures so it may be more) so not necessary for the area. Especially if it means building on green field sites. There are many empty buildings and brown field sites that can be used before a green field site is built on. If they do build on it the last area of green fields in the Borough will have gone. Please help us save it from pointless development.40 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Susie Pacey

Increase amount of Refugees accepted in Epping ForestRefugees are escaping a war zone. No child or adult should go through this. Therefore, we should welcome them into Epping Forest. Offering them education, housing and a new start. It is the morally right thing to do.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bailey Mansfield

Licence to Chill. Change Bond SongIt's a Bond song. It needs to be memorable. It needs some omph, some passion. Facebook comments and other comments seen so far suggest the public is more shaken than stirred. It dosen't make me feel excited for seeing the new Bond film. Could this be the writing on the wall for Bond? possibly the poorest ever Bond song ?2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jason Spurgeon

Fair rentWith nearly 60,000 families homeless and their children numbering around 100,000 this would reduce the number of evictions. This situation can only get worse and needs to be addressed now! I'm in my sixties and can see no future for young people born of average families. Please, everybody, privileged or not, join my campaign and make a difference to a family that just wants a home so they can feel secure.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Bill Carroll

Stop selling high energy drinks to childrenIt contains too much caffeine in it that can give potential harm to children. It changes the way the heart beats and drinking a can of energy drink is enough to give a child caffeine poisoning. A local shop sold it to my 8 year old daughter who also bought a can for my grandson aged 7 it states on the can NOT to be given to children OR pregnant women, shops are flouting the warnings on the can and still selling it to children of which should not happen, hence why I set up this petition.69 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sharon Robertson

cap restaurant/ kitchen hoursFor the health and well being of all staff, also properly paid for the actual hours they work, when salaried they are getting well below the minimum wage Chefs have to work 12/16 hours a day and especially if they are Michelin starred, lack of sleep , lack of breaks and daily pressures have an extreme detrimental effect on them with lots of them turning to supplements (caffeine red bull pro plus) but also what is very common is amphetamines. This year I was made aware of a famous chef near London, where staff started at 6 and finished at 12/1. Some staff were even taking some of the veg up to their rooms to prep for the morning. There seems to be no rules governing hours and conditions in this industry. In France because of the unions chefs are only allowed to work 8 hours a day17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ella Mentry

Save the Barmouth BridgeThe bridge is shared with the railway line and the path takes walkers and cyclists and even people who are on a short walk over the bridge. When you reach the middle of the bridge you can experience one of, if not THE best view in Britain. If the Council close the path it means that the cycle trail becomes irrelevant and we, like many families, used the trail to take our children on their first 'long' cycle ride as there is no traffic, only walkers and other cyclists. Without the bridge there will be an eighteen mile detour on the main road into Barmouth. This bridge is part of our heritage and should have protected status8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by mark rivers
