Poulton Park RestorationOver the last 7 years the Park has been left to fall into a sorry state . Once used at Christmas for Carol services by the Local church choir and by local town council to deliver community outreach projects. Now we're lucky if it's cleaned once a fortnight and resembles a refuse tip in spite of our efforts to support the local community to keep it clean. The kids play area is rusty and out of date and The Heritage area of the park of Poulton Arch needs lots of work and has become a communal toilet for weeken drunks and gangs of youngsters to vandalise. No Proper lighting also makes the Park a no go area at night and irresponsible dog walkers pepper the grass and paths with dog poop and other rubbish. The bins are also broken and seagulls rip open the rubbish bags dropped by fly tippers everyday a lovely site as kids walk to the 3 local schools situated close by. People don't have to much to begin with round here and now we have one thing less, drug dealers use the Park to do deals and there is little if no social engagement by outreach workers to engage with the local community and provide us support to turn this Park into something we can be proud of. We have tried several times unsuccessfully to approach local council and other assorted people responsible for The upkeep of the Park and we get passed from pillar to post and little if nothing has changed . Hopefully this petition will appeal to the community and wider people at large who will get behind us and help raise attention and give us our Park back!352 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Stu Nevin

Give Welsh Fishing Clubs and Salmon and Seatrout a ChanceFishing Clubs, fishing methods and therefore fishing in Wales is at imminent risk from NRWs proposed fishery byelaws 2017. Byelaws must sustain fishing aswell as fish stocks under a sustainable management of natural resources approach. The potential knock on impacts of the proposed byelaws are likely to lead to excessive illegal fishing which could not be policed. Critical evidence - Catch Return Data - would be lost due to absenteeism of fishermen from rivers. Revised management measures must therefore be developed which do not carry the same residual risks. Sustained and increased participation in fishing through empowerment and attention to catchment specific issues will establish a progressive means of achieving healthy fish stocks and the wellbeing of fishing clubs, contributing positively to local economies. Harmonisation of the overall approach can only succeed where fish are protected from destruction and harm in the near coastal waters in particular. Following an integrated approach, the river environments must be optimised to receive and support adult and juvenile fish. At present there are obvious gains to be made that are being neglected due to insufficient funding and contradictory roles and responsibilities within NRW.1,783 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Reuben Woodford

Support New Malden Farmers' MarketIn order to move forward, we have found the only viable location, as is the case in other successful markets in neighbouring towns, is to relocate the market onto the High Street. We ask that the Neighbourhood Committee works with the organisers to help us in this regard to ensure the market can continue to be a community asset for the whole of New Malden.300 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Mary Clark

CLEAN AIR FOR LONDON AND UKEach breath we take causes us harm. 25 people are killed each day as a result of air pollution in London. A child born a Londoner today could be 23 before they could expect to breathe clean air. More than 950 UK schools are on or near illegally polluted roads. Children's lungs are stunted by this exposure resulting in life long health impacts. Michael Gove recently announced that heavily polluting vehicles will be allowed on our roads until 2040. This is criminal negligence. Our government are spending UK taxes fighting a legal battle on this issue rather than working to save lives. They have been in court 3 time already. We know clean air is possible and we demand it as a human right. Because our politicians refuse to take responsibility a group of compassionate citizens #stopkillinglondoners are in prison as of 7th Nov 2017 after a week of radical direct actions. They are currently on hunger strike (9-11-17).120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Clare Farrell

Make 111–113 Mellish Street E14 8PJ Community Centre an Asset of Community ValueMellish Street Community Centre has been a central part of The Isle of Dog since the NHS built it in 2005, in one form or another. The building was left as a legacy by the NHS to the Community and today it is used by a local charity named the Docklands Community Organisation(DCO) which is a consortium of a host of Voluntary organisations all based on the Isle of Dogs. The organisation provides a host of activities but not limited to: youth groups, after school supplementary education clubs for local school children, fitness classes, adult education, health education, gardening projects and much more. It is important that Tower Hamlets Council recognise and support its status as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) so that it cannot be sold on for unsympathetic other uses without the community knowing and first having the chance to buy it. Granting Mellish Street Community Centre as an Asset of Community Value status gives the local community the time it requires to raise the funds required to save the centre. The Centre was left derelict for number of years. Residents from the local community invested over £70,000 to bring it to a habitable state and have been maintaining it. In addition, the ACV registration should be taken into account when planning applications on the building are made and can be grounds for refusal where this would strip the building of its use or result in demolition. Community centres such as the Mellish Street Community Centre play a pivotal part in community life, providing activities and a focal point for the community. Among the benefits that come from activities in community buildings are: less social isolation, healthier living, more education and better training, better support for young families and the elderly and access to local democracy. Mellish Street Community Centre serves an important purpose for the local community and we will do everything we can to save it. This petition is asking Tower Hamlets Council to grant ACV status to the Mellish Street Community Centre, to give us, the Isle of dog’s community, the time we need to raise the funds to save the community centre, for us and for our children. We also seek the Council to grant the Docklands Community Organisation to enter into a long lease and seek a Community Asset transfer and/or Community Right to Reclaim Land so that we can have the Community Right to Build a new permanent community centre with ancillary provision to meet the needs of Islanders within the meaning and spirit of the Localism Act so that the site can be developed at no cost to the Council.651 of 800 SignaturesCreated by M Abdul Malik

Keep Middleton Cheney Library OpenWe have saved our library before when it was under threat and let's do so again as it is central to village life. It is used by everyone from babies to older residents - the oldest of whom is 102. It is currently open 7 days per week and several evenings, when various organisations hold meetings, and events including talks, exhibitions and film shows. In addition to 'traditional' library and information services it offers: 1) Internet access and training 2) Meeting place for old, young and those with a disability to meet others 3) Mother and toddler groups and baby clinic 4) Rhyme Thyme 5) Reading groups and informal meetings during the day 6) Local craft/art exhibitions and sales 7) Various organisations holding meetings/events in the evening are Garden Club, History Society and MCLSG events, talks and films shows. "Libraries are about Freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education (which is not a process that finishes the day we leave school or university), about entertainment, about making safe spaces, and about access to information." -- Neil Gaiman, from The Reading Agency second annual lecture on the future of reading and libraries.661 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Mark Allen

Give Welsh Salmon and Sea-Trout a chance!In order to save from extinction and to re-build Welsh Migratory Salmon and Sea Trout stocks to their former glory of yesteryear! The National Rivers Authority (NRW) admits that migratory fish stocks in Wales are in a 'very bad condition'! My friends and I have fished the River Tywi for over 30 years and have seen a dramatic collapse in migratory fish stocks over that period, to a point today when it's hardly worth going out on the river to fish at all. Hotels and B & B's were busy in those days back then but now, like the salmon and sea trout, there are very few of them left! Very few rod and line anglers will kill their catch these days but will instead safely return their catch to the river so that they may continue on their way to their spawning grounds! Commercial trawlers and estuary nets-man kill everything that gets caught in their nets! Factory ships digest everything that they catch, including the sand eels that the salmon, sea trout and even sea bass rely on! By suspending these unsustainable fishing practices, both at sea and in our river estuaries the people of Wales and visiting anglers will not only see improving fish stocks but the Welsh people themselves will experience a significant boost in the Welsh Tourist Economy, similar to that of the highly successful and world renowned Scottish salmon angling economy of today. By calling time on the commercial exploitation of salmon, sea trout and sea bass, to name just 3 species, the Welsh Government and the people of Wales will see increased employment prospects in hotels, restaurants and shops as tourists flock once more from all over the world to fish the amazing rivers of Wales for a chance to catch that hopefully less elusive Sewin (sea trout) or salmon! If the current decline in fish stocks is allowed to continue and with no anglers on the rivers to report pollution incidents then the rivers of Wales will almost certainly decline beyond any hope of future recovery! That will be a sad day for Wales and a sad day for us all!687 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Holmes

Pause Universal CreditThe Universal Credit programme is pushing people into poverty, debt and homelessness. It is due to be rolled out in County Durham in mid December leaving thousands of people at risk of delayed and incorrect payments over Christmas and the coldest months of the year. The Department of Work and Pensions should halt any further rollout of Universal Credit and require the Department of Work and Pensions to undertake a fundamental review that takes into account the needs, views and experiences of those directly affected.252 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Frank Roche
