• Save the 87 bus service!
    People across East End Park, Burmantofts, Harehills, Cross Green, Richmond Hill and Saxton Gardens rely of the 87 bus route to get them to and from town, St James's hospital and other parts of the city. First Bus needs to reconsider its decision to cancel the service on evenings and weekends and put people living locally before profits.

  • Ofcom: Hold GB News to account
    Boris Johnson has announced he is joining GB News and will be hosting a show during the UK elections. Our media regulator, Ofcom, has rules that TV stations can’t use their broadcasts to influence viewers to vote for any party or person. A former Prime Minister on a channel that has breached impartiality rules before could be a recipe for disaster for our democracy. We don't have to agree with everything GB News does or says, but we should expect them to be held to the same high standards that other UK news outlets have to follow. Instead we're seeing a slippery slope where GB News could become the Fox News of the UK. A huge petition signed by thousands of us calling on Ofcom to make sure their rules are strong enough to hold ALL news stations to account and make sure that GB News doesn't drag down the standards of news in the UK would show Ofcom that we expect them to do their job properly and stop UK news sliding down to the sorry state it is in the USA.

  • Stop the giant Chickerell Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)
    As well as fire and environmental damage, the noise pollution from the site will be a continuous buzzing from the air conditioning units, and the 600 shipping containers (equivalent to about 40 full size football pitches!) housing the millions of lithium ion batteries will ruin the landscape as seen from Weymouth looking back up towards the countryside beyond.

  • Reallocate the £8m King's portrait fund to the NHS
    We all depend on the NHS and want to keep it going. Pictures of the King don't save lives; medical equipment does.

  • Give monetary value of the King's portrait directly to schools
    Children need education more than they need to know what the King looks like. With budgets tighter than ever, public money must be spent wisely, on things that truly benefit the British people.

  • Please help to Stop your Lowfield Lane wildlife being Lost
    This development will cause a substantial loss of biodiversity and greenspace with barn owls and other fantastic wildlife so close to our local community. The access proposals will only lead to greater congestion and danger for us all. It is owned by the local council and is a fantastic opportunity to protect this biodiversity and enhance its value as green space for us all to cherish and enjoy; more in line with the policy of the council and national government

  • Bring back phlebotomy services to Pontarddulais
    This is a change that has been implemented by the local health board and has a wider impact on services across Swansea. We have received an overwhelming number of complaints by residents who are unable to reach services in Gorseinon. It is also having an impact on the community car & bus services. We are also seeing a lack of availability within these clinics which inevitably leads to missed appointments and pressures within these clinics.

  • Fix the chaos of breakout rooms in Google Meet
    Google generally produces elegant simple technology that's quickly adopted by the masses because it's easy to use. But OMG Google Meet's break out room function makes me want to pull my hair out. It is WILD that when splitting calls into breakout rooms it doesn't just split the people on the call into equal rooms, instead it also puts all the people who were ever invited to a call in a room treating them just like live attendees. It means that live attendees are scattered randomly between rooms on their own, or massively over subscribed rooms. What's more, as a host of a call you're constantly left floundering in front of a big group call as you wrestle with the bonkers user interface. We give you all of our data, the least you could do is give us some nice tools in exchange.

  • Stop Barclays bank closures in our towns
    Many of your customers do not have access to online banking, those that do use it still require a branch for some transaction. If the branches close this will impact the elderly, people with mobility issues and additional needs being forced to travel long distances to the nearest city.

  • Delete The Digital Poverty Divide
    We live in an ever advancing technological world; without consistent access to devices that work and have access to the internet, a young person's education, development and opportunities to learn are adversely impacted. Would you consider a young person for a job if they brought in a hand written CV instead of applying online? Digital access is now one of the basic necessities, like food, shelter and an education! All young people have the right to the basic equipment and tools to allow them a fair chance to succeed and not be left behind. Digital poverty in young people exists where a person doesn’t have access to the online world and therefore doesn’t have access to the vast amount of information and opportunities that exist within it. An estimated 11.7 million (22 per cent) people in the UK are without the digital skills needed for everyday life; 9 million (16 per cent) are unable to use the internet and their device by themselves; and 3.6 million (seven per cent) are almost completely offline. Basic digital literacy skills are needed by every citizen to become ‘digitally literate’ to participate fully in an increasingly digital society. - ‘Tackling the digital divide. ‘House of Commons, 4 November 2021 Digital poverty has increased since the coronavirus pandemic. It has also been shown that the lack of access to suitable devices or software, reliable and affordable connectivity, suitable learning spaces has affected a higher proportion of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) learners. In a young person, it can result in a poorer education, poorer health, increased loneliness, isolation, an adverse effect on job prospects and even a lower life expectancy. The impact of digital poverty is that it intensifies the class divide keeping the poor in a cycle of poverty with no means of escape. This cause is important because after lockdown we saw the effects on young people without access to devices and the effect it had in their mental health as a result. The impact of the pandemic on learners’ mental health has been considerable with a significant increase in requests for mental health support reported by the providers we spoke to. Mental health issues are impacting learners across the board including those from more affluent backgrounds. Figures show15 that as many as 10 million people in the UK, including 1.5 million children, are thought to need new or additional mental health support as a direct result of the pandemic. However, we know that the pandemic is having a disproportionate impact on BAME groups who have suffered a “triple whammy of threats” to their mental health, incomes and life expectancy16. Children and young people from BAME backgrounds are showing greater increases in depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicidal thoughts than white peers during Covid-19 pandemic and Black males are more than twice as likely to experience mental health issues than their White counterparts. Exploring the impact of digital and data poverty on BAME learners , Charles Hutchings and Marianne Sheppard, 2021
