Change! Inhuman 20yrs Long Residence Immigration RuleThe 20 years rule allows a legal route for those who have lived in the UK continuously for 20 years. The rule does not grant them immediate indefinite leave to remain at the end of the 20 years but to start another 10 years process after which they can then apply for indefinite leave to remain. Those affected mainly are people that are termed overstayers. If you take 30 years in total out of the active period of an individual's life what do they have left? An applicant at 40 would be in this cage until they are 70! So many have lost touch with the families they left behind in their originating countries. Some have died while waiting out the first 20 years. A lot have gone mentally sick, depressed and even committed suicide or have gone sucidal because of being stagnant for such a long time. Marriages have been broken or severely damaged and deaths of loved ones experienced by the long separation caused to mention a few. If this inhumane rule is reviewed and changed to just a few years, applicants would still have much useful years and be able to move on with their lives. Also there would be a great reduction in the number of people that are overstayers. The wicked rule is clearly a form of modernised slavery being encouraged by the UK government. Sadly, the UK government is in this matter considered to be guilty of destroying the social, mental and economic wellbeing of these individuals. However, the government in addition to reducing the 30 years, can give the overstayers limited opportunity to work and pay tax while they are being restricted from having access to certain public funds; the government would then have a better statistics of the population, who pays tax and who contributes to the National Insurance. This is the time to act because the UK government has for a long time been infringing upon the people's Human Rights by this rule that has kept changing. The first part used to be 10 years as at about 2000, then it was increased to 14 years and now, 20years! This is evil and UK is toying with people's lives unduly. This 20 years UK long residence Immigration Rule is rigid, heartless, unempathetic, tyranny and oppression against human beings particularly to other ethnic community background and their relatives.89 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Grace Adejumo

Elsrickle 20mph limit - safety for everyonePlease, join us in trying to get a permanent 20 mph limit throughout Elsrickle to keep our kids, friends, family and pets safe. The speed that traffic currently goes through the village is unacceptable for a growing community of young families and the walking routes to our new school are unfit for purpose. Even if you do not live in Elsrickle, a reduced speed limit would allow safer school and nursery walks out.77 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sarah McGlasson

Use the Major Conditions Strategy to end the postcode lottery for Fracture Liaison Services (FLS)I back the campaign run by the Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS) and the Sunday Express. In terms of years lost to premature death and disability, fractures (broken bones) caused by osteoporosis are the fourth most devastating health condition of all. Effective therapies exist, but the postcode lottery for Fracture Liaison Services means around 90,000 people per year are missing out on treatment. The result is tens of thousands of preventable spinal and hip fractures, which are life-changing for people and costly for the NHS. We're calling on the Government to use the Major Conditions Strategy to send a clear message to Integrated Care Boards that everyone over 50 deserves access to a quality Fracture Liaison Service. We can then deliver on the mantra that the first fracture should be the last fracture. Beating osteoporosis will tackle one of the most urgent threats to people living well in later life.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Craig Jones

GP SURGERIES OPERATING KANGAROO COURTSBecause many patients are being threatened with removal or are removed from GP patient lists often following formal or complaints. Many surgeries operate Kangaroo Courts that become Judge and Jury without ever meeting with the patient or discussing the matter. Individual GP Complaints Policies and NHS Complaints policies are being ignored or significantly breached with little or no come-back for the patient(s).9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by MICHAEL BUNTON

Petition to make school uniform affordableSchool uniform in our local area costs anywhere from £100-£200. This is highly unreasonable, especially considering the current cost of living crisis. Many families are struggling to fund their child's uniform as most schools have strict policies on jumpers, blazers, bags and PE kits which makes it difficult to accumulate for as each item of clothing is expensive. To solve this problem, my group has come up with an idea to help families who need support. This involves encouraging students who have outgrown/no longer need their uniform to donate it to their school which will go towards the new year 7s and any other years who need it. Another way to help ease the stress of uniform costs would be to simply lower the price tag. Around £30 for a school jumper is outrageous when you could buy a similar one from a clothing shop for a lot cheaper. Many families are already struggling in the current cost of living crisis and school uniform prices are only adding more stress. It is important to help this problem because people shouldn't have to worry about whether they can afford their child to have clothing or not. The government website also states that it is important for schools to have a way for their school uniform to be available to everyone. Things need to change.37 of 100 SignaturesCreated by diana diac

NKDC PLANNING REFUSAL FOR BUSINESS SIGNAGEThe high street as we knew it is dying. Our small market town is suffering a number of established businesses closing with no one wanting to fill the empty premises. Businesses are struggling to survive. Putting extra financial burden on businesses to change signage that the public actually thinks improves the area could discourage other small businesses from opening.2,613 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Stephannie Hazzard-Smith

Cleaning up our air: a message of support from LondonersThere is no such thing as a “safe” level of air pollution. And while air pollution affects us all, older people, children, people of colour, and people living in poverty are hit the hardest. Mayors, national governments, and all those in power across the political spectrum, must take bold action on air pollution. Getting the most polluting vehicles off our roads – especially those powered by dirty diesel – is a key first step. But this must be backed up with far more investment in walking, cycling and green public transport that is accessible and affordable for all Londoners in all boroughs. Leaders across the country and the world are looking to take similar action on toxic air. What happens here will inspire so many others. This is a chance for London to lead the global movement for clean air, as cities around the world turn to us for inspiration and guidance on how to tackle this deadly challenge. We can’t afford to delay. Clean Air Wins is supported by C40 Cities and the UK Healthy Air Coalition, a collective of leading health, environment and transport organisations with the shared vision of a UK free from toxic air.8,211 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Clean Air Wins

Education support workers need a pay riseSchool support staff have suffered more than a decade of pay cuts and are some of the most undervalued workers in society. Added to this, support staff at Ash Field Academy have been significantly underpaid when compared with comparable roles in LA maintained schools. They need a pay rise at least in line with inflation.253 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Tom Barker

We want carbon footprint labelling on all goods and servicesCyclone Idai affected Zimbabwe, causing a massive landslide in the town of Chimanimani. The next morning, Michelle Chipare discovered that her two-year-old daughter Brenda had died in the disaster. Climate-related disasters not only cause immediate devastation, they pose a long-term threat to the livelihoods of Zimbabweans like Michelle and Brenda, and many around the world. The government will not take any action unless there is a lot of public support, so we would really appreciate your support. Carbon footprint labelling would involve indicating on products and services how many tonnes of CO2 in total were produced in production, transport and use. The company providing the product would be responsible for the labelling, with third party verification. This not a new idea but implementation has not been standardised or mandated. Pursuing such carbon footprint labelling legislation would help to reduce footprints, reduce the CO2 produced, and reduce the severity of the climate disasters we are already seeing and that we will otherwise see more and more. Carbon footprint labelling will support the understanding of carbon footprinting in schools. Pupils and teachers will be empowered to change their behaviour, schools will know how to and want to tackle their carbon footprints, and the knowledge will be passed on to others. Like most people, I love nature. As greenhouse gas emissions remain stubbornly high, I live in fear of the consequences of climate change that will befall my grandchildren. Climate change is projected to force a ½ billion people to migrate if China floods or suffers a drought, both of which are likely if emissions are not reduced drastically as soon. Many of us fear the conflicts that may follow human displacement on such a scale. The ongoing conflicts in Sudan and Syria at present are exacerbated and partly caused by scarcity of vital resources brought about by climate change, showing that these fears are already manifesting. 80% of us are extremely anxious about the continuing deterioration of the climate. Surveys indicate people think the Government is not doing enough to fight the climate war, and 90% of us want more action.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by david kinshuck

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.46,165 of 50,000 Signatures
