• Save St Christopher's Church, Norris Green
    St. Christopher's has served our local community for generations and provides an invaluable service to the local residents acting as a community hub and food bank. If the closure of this vital asset is allowed to continue then the people who are in need in our community shall be severely diminished and left without. The church also serves as a ballot station and has done so for much time and if a place such as St. Christophers has served a role in deciding our country's future which it has for some time, then the history of that place and its importance as a pillar in the past of our community should be more widely recognised and considered.  Please help support this landmark of Norris Green and allow it to serve our future generations. Support our petition to prevent the closure of St Christopher's church. Thank you.

  • Ensure social housing in Wiltshire comes with essential carpets, curtains and flooring
    Currently, social housing providers don’t legally have to provide flooring in properties beyond bathrooms and kitchens, or any curtains. This means many tenants in Wiltshire move into properties that are empty, unfurnished, cold shells. Nationally, 29% of private rented properties are let as furnished or partly furnished compared to just 2% of social rented properties. National Citizens Advice data shows that people living in social housing are almost twice as likely to need to use a food bank as people living in privately rented housing, and a lack of furnishings is reported to contribute to this figure. The main impact of moving into a bare home includes the cost of buying flooring and curtains, which can push households into financial hardship and reduce their ability to pay rent and bills. If households are unable to spend the hundreds of pounds needed to make a property liveable, they might live with bare floors that are a safety hazard and create dust, and in a cold property with no privacy due to a lack of curtains. In every town in Wiltshire, there are cold and bare houses, some with cardboard for flooring and tarpaulin or sheets for curtains, because these basic items weren't provided. "It was very overwhelming having all of that to contend with. People moving into social housing are usually people with very limited resources, flooring especially is such a significant cost, going without is very difficult, especially with young children. I personally ended up in debt, which I'm still paying off, 3 years later, due to the amount of work that needed doing. I did not know that no flooring at all would be provided." - Quote from a Wiltshire tenant via our campaign survey. Bare homes affect mental and physical health, the wellbeing of children, and contribute to social isolation. Providing flooring and curtains before tenants move in is linked to reduced rent arrears, longer tenancies and a range of other benefits around finances, health and wellbeing.

  • Pay-per-mile car tax
    Pay-per-mile in the uk is something which may be on the cards very soon. The people of the UK already being battered by rising costs of everything, including gas, electric, Council tax, water to name but a few, cannot afford another hike such as this which will see some drivers paying over £1000 just to get to work each year. Getting all drivers to pay per mile will have a adverse affect on tourism, businesses, import and export as well as the average person in the street who owns a car. Could this not lend itself to some businesses laying off staff to try and combat the rising prices, some businesses closing down with the same affect and some people who will just not be able to afford to go to work. The consequence of the action of bringing in such a idiotic pay-per-mile scheme could be far reaching. STOP the pay-per-mile scheme... Please sign the petition and show your support to stop another stealth tax, please get this to go viral so we are listened to.

  • Petition to oppose the "No waiting at any time" parking restrictions in Heckmondwike
    This proposal is unfair and does not take into account the residents and people that use nearby businesses and buildings. Imposing a no waiting zone force people to park further away and exacerbate the parking situation immensely. As well as cause a massive inconvenience to many people whom live in the area.  We accept there is a rush at school drop off and pick up times, this is something that has been going on for 50 years without many serious incidents. We reject the proposal to inconvenience so many people for the complaints of a few people that won't even be affected adversely by the proposed changes.

  • Save Poole Civic Centre
    Those of us who want to see Poole thrive as a community, must save the Civic Centre for future generations. This building could be used for affordable housing, community spaces, business hubs and council services. If the civic centre is sold off, we’ll never get it back – and Poole doesn’t need another load of posh flats that local people can’t afford.

  • Bring Back Volunteer Police Cadets
    It is important because the youth that attend VPC wish to follow a career in Policing. Yet they are being turned away. The current state of the country with rising youth crime, gangs and stabbings we need to encourage our youth to undertake such activities so they are busy and kept from crime.  There is also lack of officers. We should be encouraging and supportive not dismissive.

  • Meltham Greenway Extension
    Almost 17yrs ago residents of Netherton, Meltham, and South Crosland were promised a Greenway, that connects Meltham to Netherton and South Crosland and beyond.   We, the undersigned, are calling for the extension of the Meltham Greenway woodland cycle path and walk way, following the historic Meltham Branch Line. This extension will provide numerous benefits to our community, including:   1. Enhanced Connectivity: Extending the Greenway will connect the three communities and improve the feeling of unity, making it easier for neighbourhoods and residents, including those who use wheelchair users or mobility scooters, to enjoy the natural beauty of our area. 2. Environmental Benefits: Promoting cycling and walking reduces the number of short car journeys and reduces our carbon footprint and reduces noise pollution, contributing to a healthier environment. 3. Health and Wellbeing: Providing a safe, accessible, scenic route for walking, horse riding, running and cycling encourages physical activity, improving the health and wellbeing, including mental health, of our community members. 4. Historical Preservation: Following the Meltham Branch Line preserves our local heritage, allowing residents and tourists to appreciate the historical significance of the area.   Kirklees Council has not begun construction despite receiving funding from several local construction projects. Kirklees Council have failed to respond to queries regarding funding and progress updates.
