Enough is enough: sack Suella BravermanIf any of us speed there is a clear system that we have to abide by. We pay the fine or go on the course and learn from our mistakes. But Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been alleged to have tried to fiddle the system - trying to get civil servants and her aide to arrange a private awareness course for her. If found guilty of breaking the code this would not be the first time Suella Braverman has done so. Back in October 2022 she was found to have sent confidential documents outside the Government, using a private email address. She was forced to resign - then reappointed a week later. Enough is enough. If she has broken the code again, she should be removed from post.46,169 of 50,000 Signatures

Freeze water shareholder payoutsIts important to reduce sewage in our waters. It is also important that we prevent privatised water companies yet again abusing their monopoly by charging the consumer to fix the problem they created13 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Pack

Nationalise the water industryThis is the only way the people of this country can regain faith in a system that has become infested with lies, hypocrisy and greed. Since privatisation these companies have paid out £65 billion to shareholders while presiding over an industry that most countries would be ashamed of. The majority of people would, I believe, be surprised and angered to be told that sewage overspills amounted to nearly 1000 in total in a year. But no, how do you begin to process the information that these amount to an average of almost 1000 a day. I'm tempted to believe that no sewage is ever processed, it's simply dumped into our rivers and seas. And in this year of shame dividends to shareholders almost tripled from £540 million to £1.4 billion. So we come to this past week when we finally, after 34 years, get a mealy-mouthed apology from Ruth Kelly of Water UK, which represents these companies, at the same time announcing a £10 billion investment over the next 7 years. To be funded by the water companies? No. By you and I. I am asking the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties to do what I believe a huge number of people in this country want them to do, and commit to nationalising these companies and providing the new organisations with the funding to put right the incompetence and greed of the last 34 years.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kevin Penney

Torphichen Community Centre - Risk of ClosureWe understand that West Lothian Council is currently undertaking a mapping exercise to understand how community centres are utilised by community groups. The likely outcome of this exercise will be the closure of Torphichen Community Centre at some point between 2025 and 2028. This would be travesty for our village where we rely on this community space and it is currently fully utilised. We need to try and stop this erosion of our community facilities by the Council and ensure that Torphichen Community Centre remains open for future generations. This is an essential facility for our village community. It is used by Torphichen Primary School for their assembly and sports activities. It is home to our After School Club, Jumping Beans, Torphichen Gala Day events, Beecraigs Archers, Zumba with Rachel and Pilates. Without this facility, there will be no-where else in the village for these activities to take place. This would be a blow for our community so please sign this petition to support the fight in attempting to keep our Community Centre open.250 of 300 SignaturesCreated by David Holman

Increase Disabled Facility Grant in line with inflationThe Disabled Facilities Grant helps people with disabilities make changes to their homes so they can continue to live there. Thousands of families with disabilities now are faced with making up the shortfall for the grant. For example a 3x3m extension of living space with no adaptations is costed at over £45,000. Therefore families, including my own are forced to try and raise upwards of £15,000. If that money is not available we have to go without vital adaptions to live comfortably and with dignity.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jayne Huddle

Save Willington Old SchoolThe Derby Diocese Board of Education want to increase our lease fees by 6 times, we cannot afford this. We are concerned that the site will be sold for housing development, the village needs a preschool more than a few more houses. Our preschool and after school club have nowhere else to go. Jobs would be lost and our children's education and school preparation adversely affected. A little bit of the village would die. As President of the Board you love Derbyshire, help us please. Willington needs you. If Willington Old School is lost, then so might the preschool and the after school club. They are both fully booked, they are needed. Where will people send their children instead? Nowhere! There is a national shortage of preschool places right now. Don't make that worse, let us stay open. Protect jobs and look after our children. Save our school1,823 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Ian Hudson

Implement the flashing yellow mode on UK traffic lightsIt would make situations where traffic lights have gone faulty safer and easier for drivers to understand. In many foreign countries - Europe and America for example, when traffic lights are either inactive or defective they change to a flashing yellow mode (as can be seen in the Disney movie Cars). This advises drivers that the traffic lights are either not active or defective and they should proceed with caution. In the UK however we have a system where defective traffic lights go to an 'all-red' mode and temporary traffic lights just turn themselves off when they're not active. This type of system however causes confusion for drivers - when the traffic lights fail and go to all red both sides are sat there looking at each other not sure who should make the first move or whether the light itself is just a bit delayed changing. Seeing a flashing yellow would give the drivers on both sides an indication that the lights have malfunctioned and therfore they should take it in turns. In addition to this it would stop motorists having to take the risk at faulty lights of disobeying the red light or waiting until someone arrives to fix the light. Also a similar thing can happen on temporary lights too - when a temporary light is turned off at present the light just goes fully off to indicate it is not in use, however on some occasions I have approached temporary lights and found the red light to be out even though the light is active. Now had drivers not noticed the other lights they might misconcieve the red light being out as the light being inactive - but again if the light is flashing yellow when it's inactive the drivers approaching a light with a red light out would be aware that the lights are actually active and that is just a blown bulb.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darren Forster

Protect our property - a call for road restriction warning signs nowPlease support this campaign to protect the buildings of Dawlish from vehicle incidents, and to protect the local terraces of Dawlish. We call for road warning signs to protect road users as well as residents' property. On the evening of Wednesday 17th May 2023, for approx 3 hours a delivery van was stuck on Hoopern Terrace, in between the house on the corner of Frederick Terrace and the walls of the houses on Hoopern Terrace. The driver was unaware of the narrow road ahead, nor of the uneven road camber, and had merely been following the sat-nav and Google Earth maps. How many more incidents like this need to happen before caution and road restriction signs are in place on Penfield Gardens, and narrow road warning signs on digital maps and sat-nav systems? We have a small cul-de-sac junction sign at the foot of Hoopern Terrace, but there are no road restriction or caution signs on Penfield Gardens, either at the top of Hoopern Terrace, on the junction with Penfield Gardens, nor at the other end of Penfield Gardens at the junction with the back lane to Clifton Terrace, nor at the junction of Penfield Gardens and Old Town Street. Neither are there are any road restrictions signs on Sat-Nav systems that vehicles use, nor on digital maps, and there really does need to be, as soon as possible please. This evening’s incident has inconvenienced the delivery team, the road rescue vehicles, the local residents, the family in the house at Frederick Terrace corner, families in houses on Hoopern Terrace, and doubtless more people wanting to walk up / down Hoopern Terrace. The incident caused structural damage to the house on the corner of Frederick Terrace, when the vehicle tipped because of the uneven camber of the road. The campaign for road restriction warning signs has been going on for over 6 years - how many more incidents and damage to property has to occur before warning road restriction signs are installed on digital maps, sat-nav systems, and on these roads?22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Cllr Alison Foden

Refugees Welcome in LancashireWe believe that people seeking protection from war and persecution should be welcomed and that everyone’s claim for asylum should be treated equally and fairly. We believe that the UK should offer sanctuary to those who need it and we oppose laws which criminalise refugees. We defend the right of people to seek safety from war and persecution in the UK. We believe it is necessary to speak out against attempts to punish those who make their own way to safety. We reject anti-refugee laws which will risk the lives and well-being of people and we support a refugee protection system that treats all people with dignity and compassion.76 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Billington

Water pollution WHY PAY TWICE!This problem we have today has built up since privatisation 30 years ago. When the public owned water companies were privatised initially investment in water and sewage cleansing brought our water into a reasonable standard. The Government then set legal standards for water supply and sewage cleansing. They then set up Ofwat to overlook this. Sadly the standards set were to low and Ofwat's powers are negligible. As the spokesperson for the water companies said on radio 4 Today programme, the water companies kept within legal laws, but fully recognise the state of our water and sewage cleansing. Why should we pay twice for negligence of governments since privatisation? Please sign to get this brought up in the House of Commons7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jonathan Hughes
