When the lives of so very many children are at risk, many of them under five, it is vital that people speak out. These children are the future of their nation but above all they are vulnerable and terrified and we owe it to them to spearhead a rescue plan.

Carers have to guarantee they spend 35hrs a week looking after their loved ones. For this they get around £2 per hour. Well below the minimum wage, and the humiliation of maybe claiming income support. And if they work they can earn no more than £116.00 Carers save the country millions in nursing home costs. They should have the same rights as workers

Many people have blamed the years of sexual abuse and harassment in the House of Commons on the drinking culture and cheap subsidised alcohol. Modern workplaces would frown on the idea of workers being drunk on the job or at their desks. For many companies drinking during work hours would be a disciplinary offence. Why then is this acceptable in Westminster. Close the bars down and adopt a more modern professional 21st century working environment.

With today's threat of terror attacks, it is absolutely vital that Westfield Stratford City has sufficient security staff to implement a safe, co-ordinated evacuation in the event of an emergency. On Saturday 11th November, my 70 year Mother was injured and separated from my 2 young children when they were caught up in a stampede of mass panic, as thousands of people ran for their lives following an incident at the centre. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/westfield-stratford-mass-panic-as-shopping-centre-evacuated-in-fire-alert-a3688671.html

It will help revive local economies along the route,also have an environmental impact taking commuters and shoppers off the road

The people/patients are feed up of being ignored and watching the health board and Welsh Gov spending money in other areas and leaving the biggest town in Powys without cover in Newtown when the doctors surgery is closed. There is an out of hours service called Shropdoc that are based in Welshpool hospital but don't come to Newtown until midnight. Welshpool also has a MIU, it's 16 miles from Newtown but at night no public transport, slow, single lane roads that make the journey slow.. People feel ignored..second class...worthless ... so many times PtHB made promises but rarely follow through !!!! START PUTTING NEWTOWN FIRST AND NO MORE PROMISES WE WANT ACTION

Governors Wales has been the voice for all school governors throughout all of Wales since 1995, and the services offered have been second to none. They have forged links with Governors Associations and networks and have provided excellent advice and documentation such as The Handbook for School Governors as well as a comprehensive website and confidential helpline. They were instrumental in introducing the Bronze Award as a benchmark for all governing bodies to aspire to, which has subsequently developed into the self evaluation template. Their staff have attended association meetings bringing valued information to those in attendance. This service is invaluable to all governors who give up their time freely and is at present I feel not being represented elsewhere. Governors are being charged with more and more responsibilities while the tools required by us to carry out our duties are being withdrawn or reduced to a minimum. Whilst we acknowledge the work of Consortia in supporting both our schools and teaching staff they are at different levels of development and Governors need support at ground level and Governors Wales the voice of governors is needed to ensure this. I would suggest a review of the Welsh Government draft budget is undertaken as a priority and that consideration of using some funding from regional consortia is further considered, to enable Governors Wales to continue to do their excellent work in supporting governors across Wales. Please support this petition as we cannot afford to lose this service.

We, the undersigned, deplore the continued underfunding of Devon’s schools. This policy disadvantages both the children of Devon and the future prosperity of the county. The current funding formula has imposed cuts to Teaching Assistants which will have a negative effect on both the inclusion of Special Educational Needs children and the development of ‘Gifted and Talented’ children. The continued underfunding of Devon Schools will undoubtedly inhibit the future prosperity of the County, goes against the policy of inclusion and will impact on the social fabric of generations to come.

Shelter Scotland estimate that 5,000 people sleep rough on Scotland's streets throughout the year (1). The main route to homelessness is the loss of a tenancy. In Glasgow alone, 39 people died between May 2016 and March 2017 (2). This risk is far higher in the winter. And this situation is completely avoidable. In France since December 1956, there has been a “winter break’’ to help protect residents from being thrown out into the cold from the 1st of November until the 31st of March. This covers all tenants, people in temporary accommodation, and people living in any temporary shelters from being evicted or such temporary structures from being destroyed (3). The “winter break” law helps reduce the risk of people having to sleep rough during the winter, and reduces winter deaths. Help us win this for people in Scotland too. We are calling on the Scottish Government to implement a similar law against evictions during the winter. We do not want anyone sleeping rough this winter and any more winter deaths in Scotland. We want a #WinterBreak for evictions in Scotland. https://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get_involved/campaigning/homelessness_far_from_fixed/why_this_matters http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15284726.Death_on_the_streets__Shock_figures_reveal_horrifying_extent_of_homeless_fatalities_in_Scotland/ https://www.verdict.co.uk/winter-truce-france/

VAT of 20% is charged on community-purchased defibrillators and the secure cabinet in which they are housed. More than 30,000 people a year have a cardiac arrest in a non-hospital location. From the moment of cardiac arrest there is on average five minutes to save a life with the survival rate dropping by 10% for every minute that the heart is stopped without defibrillation. If the NHS, a charity or local authority purchase these pieces of live-saving equipment then there is no VAT on them. However, if a community purchases one then VAT is added. If VAT were removed from community defibrillators, then every sixth machine would be free! On November 22, in his Budget, the Chancellor Philip Hammond can make a difference and help save the lives of people who face cardiac arrest. Please sign this petition today to urge the Chancellor to scrap VAT on community-purchased defibrillators on November 22 and ask your friends and family to sign too. Together, we can make a difference. #SaveALife https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/public38/images/mp.gif

Fakenham Gateway Sure Start children’s centre is an important life line for the local community. It offers support and assistance to families - with out the Sure Start centre we would be lost. The council is currently considering a £5 million cut to the budget for children services, putting the future of Fakenham Sure Start centre at risk. If the centre closed it would leave local families without vital support. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/politics/fears-norfolk-children-s-centres-could-close-as-county-hall-considers-5m-cut-1-5231037

Over the last three years, volunteers have brought a disused and derelict Council plant nursery in the heart of Buxton back to life. We have grand designs for its future. We already demonstrate good horticultural practice, develop skills and confidence, offer a therapeutic setting for people of all ages and abilities, grow produce, provide education and training, and organise events accessible for all. We can do more. With a secure footing - a long-term lease on the current site and original stone-built workshops and stores - Serpentine Community Farm could extend its activities, enriching individual and community life. Instead, a plan formulated by the High Peak Borough Council Executive Team to raise cash from residential development of the site jeopardises all the work and effort of the volunteers. We urge High Peak Borough Council to safeguard, support and save Serpentine Community Farm.
