No house building on London's Green BeltLondon is a huge city which could spread out for many miles more if allowed to. The Green Belt was created to allow Londoners to have some fresh air and nature, trees, plants and animals which is vital for our mental and physical health. London does not need to be any bigger than it already is.113 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jenny Almeida

Stop HGV's and Buses using QueenswayConstant flow of children in area. The road serves 3 Primary Schools and 2 High schools. The present speed ramps do not deter vehicles to slow down in fact the opposite. A 7.5 ton weight limit would stop lorries and buses and Chicanes would reduce the speed of all other vehicles19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Dick

Bring back our kerbs and pavements...please!Rosenau Crescent and many areas of Wandsworth where this pavement and kerbstone replacement "work" is being done by council contractors are handsome streets where residents care about their environment and work hard to make it look good. Many are designated Conservation Areas. Pride in one's surroundings is an important part of being a healthy human being. The council is destroying this important part of residents' lives and has not bothered to reply to many letters and emails of complaint over several months. There is no accountable democracy here, only institutionalised vandalism and blatant disregard for the electorate. Nor is the council's "long-term solution" to tree roots disturbing the paving effective. Within several months of laying tarmac the pavements are so uneven that the trip hazard is worse than ever. We have spoken to one of Britain's top arborialists who says the trees are unsuitable for the site and that, in any case, they need replacing at their age. We need the council to replant with appropriate types of tree and replace the pavements as they were. We have asked repeatedly over many months where Rosenau Crescent's historic granite kerbstones have been taken and had no response from Wandsworth Council. Council contractors are still taking these away.100 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Louise Ireland

Scottish Gov to stop routinely arming police officersDespite gun crime being at a 34 yr low, officers are now being armed as a matter of routine, I for one don't see the logic in that. It would seem that the Police Scotland Chief Constable and the Secretary for Justice have over-stepped their remit by not putting this to a parliamentary debate. And we the public have not been consulted. Democracy ?118 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jacqui McIntyre

amendment to law, addition to CPRThis may save many hundreds millions pounds in cost to the justice budget. This measure may prevent at least 50% of all bankruptcies being made. The tyranny and torture imposed upon families who have faulty and incorrect warrants and legal documents issued upon them can be reduced by 50%, by having a proper check list in place, with proper sealing procedures. Millions of fellow citizens are suffering unjustly, by a faulty system that can be used in a corrupt way by immoral and greedy traders and corporations. mis -cases trouble36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by lee cant

Sensible Energy TariffsFuel poverty, Climate Policy, Energy Security, Resource Depletion, even the Balance of Payments Deficit and much-needed support for energy efficiency, they all argue that we need to encourage LESS energy use. But we have tariffs that generally encourage more. Meanwhile billions of our money has been proxied into the complex UK smart meter project for homes, which the Germans decided was a very poor investment. We could achieve something better, something fairer for society simply by inverting the way that tariffs encourage more energy consumption.71 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Jones

Make MEPs tell us what they doI asked the MEPs for the North west what they did, by email before the last election, only two of them out of 8 replied, only one with a thoughtful response. I am prepared to believe that some of them work hard to earn their money but I receive no direct evidence of them representing me on a day to day basis. We have a website 'theyworkforyou' that tells each of us when our Mps ask a question in the House of Commons. Using this as a template, it ought to be quite cheap, given the resources of the EU, to set up a system that keeps all EU voters better informed.78 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Margaret Ingham

Ethical Sponsorship in FootballFootball is traditionally a working class sport with a significant proportion of supporters being of a low income background. This is particularly the case where Blackburn Rovers FC are a relatively small club, where the majority of its fan base is in Blackburn itself. The town arguably has more social deprivation than many in the UK, and as such, the population is likely to be more vulnerable to be taken advantage of by fee charging claims management companies, debt advice companies etc. Blackburn Rovers FC is the most important organisation to the town of Blackburn in the 21st century, and there is therefore a moral duty for it to reflect the needs of the community around it. The football club would gain significant respect if it were to display charities such as the Citizens Advice Bureau and Step Change or an ethical private company such as Payplan on its shirts. This would be a statement that the club acknowledges the level of financial difficulty a large proportion of the town and its fan base faces. It would also encourage other football clubs to do the same where fans are feeling increasingly distanced from their football clubs with television deals coming into hundreds of millions of pounds and accusations of tax evasion now commonplace.63 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Richard Godley

Abolish Road Vehicle Licence TaxIt is an outdated tax that now has no other function than to support the department that administrates it. The equivalent income to treasury could be added to the price of petrol at the next budget at zero financial cost.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Jefferson

Boycott Israeli illegal settlement produce and businessIsraeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories cause harm and poverty to Palestinians, and are an obstacle to peace in the region. Israeli settlements are illegal under international humanitarian law. This is important because the Palestinians are currently under violent attack and need resources to rebuild their lives, home and future. They cannot do this if their produce are stolen from them and sold to the Americas and Europe. According to a study conducted by Dr. Majid Sbeih from Al-Quds University for the Democracy and Workers’ Rights Center in Palestine, 82% of Palestinian workers have the desire and willingness to leave their jobs in the settlements, provided that a suitable alternative is available. However, suitable alternatives will not be found as long as the Palestinian economy is under occupation. We are calling on companies to withdraw investment in and end trade operations with Israeli settlement businesses.44 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shah Muhmud

All MP's should donate their 11% pay rise to charityAt a time of austerity, when almost a million people per year in the UK depend on food banks and when the average wage is stagnating, it's completely inappropriate for MP's to be getting a pay rise. We are not 'all in this together'. http://www.trusselltrust.org/stats To be fair to them, most MP's have already criticised the pay rise. Let's make sure they put their money where their mouth is.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Khalil Secker
