Let Parking be Free Again
Starting college aged 16 is when you realise that you need to grow up a lot from your high school days. The two years, possibly more that you are there you know that they are big years which also include 2 important birthdays. One when you turn 18 and you no longer need to lie about your age, and the other being 17 where you get the ultimate freedom of officially and legally being allowed to start driving a car on the roads. So you’re a full time student attending college 4 days a week, then on

Preservation of Italian language at Jyväskylä University
Italian kielen säilyttäminen Jyväskylän yliopistossa. Jyväskylän yliopisto aikoo luopua italian oppiaineesta kokonaan. Tällä hetkellä Jyväskylän yliopisto on ainoa yliopisto Helsingin pohjoispuolella, jossa on mahdollista opiskella italian kieltä aineopintotasolla, ja valmistua romaanisen filologian maisteriksi italia kieleen liittyvällä gradulla. Jos näin tapahtuisi, yliopistotasoinen italian kielen ja kulttuurin opetus olisi rajoitettu vain Turun ja Helsingin yliopistoihin. Italian niemimaa

Alert ! French conservators-restorers are in danger !
ALERT ! THE CONSERVATORS-RESTORERS ARE IN DANGER THE WORKS OF ART ARE IN DANGER The profession of conservator-restorer of cultural heritage is on the brink of an Abyss. An edict has been published in the Official Journal of 31 January 2016 that incorporates conservation-restoration of heritage into the craftsmen-activities thereby misrepresenting this profession. Our profession does not create new art/craft, but works to systematically and scientifically preserve our common cultural heritage

Engayne food policy
As parents of children at Engayne, we are not happy to accept the new food policy - particularly the issue of being told what can and cannot be included in our childrens' lunchboxes. We believe that, as parents/guardians, it is our responsibility to ensure our children eat a varied & healthy diet - and being dictated to regarding a packed lunch for our children is not necessary or acceptable. This petition has been signed by all those wanting this food policy to be reconsidered - with eithe

Leeds needs a velodrome
The mighty city of Leeds needs a velodrome! The city that hosted Le Tour with over a million spectators, home to countless Olympic athletes, boasting the Brownlees, venue of the world triathlon, sharing the history of Beryl Burton, gateway to the dales is missing a venue for developing the Yorkshire stars of the future! Surely a city of such magnitude (and indeed all other major UK cities) should share the ambitions of Manchester - to have a safe venue for future generations to develop their two

Resignation of Mr & Mrs Porter from the Walcott Parish Council
We are trying to gather signatures for the petition of the resignation of Mr & Mrs Porter from the Walcott Parish Council. We believe that all councillors should be people who can be trusted to work on behalf of our parishioners, do well for our village and not for their own gain. Due to Mr & Mrs Porters continious inconsiderate behaviour to others which has proved to have resulted in violence at times, we feel they are not good for the parish council or the welfare of Walcott and its pe

Rehouse the Woodville Road residents
After years of living in Pch properties which our damp, mouldy and basically falling apart it was a relief in 2008 to finally be told that northprospect was going to be an area which was was to undertake a regeneration project. Unfortunately for the residents of Woodville Road even though we knew our area was due a massive change we didn't know what was happening in our particular Street, For the next several years we weren't sure if our street was going to be refurbished or knocked down, Tenant

Stop mold town council limiting vases to 1 on Graves.
Help me and sign my petition to stop mold town Council limiting the amount of vases to put on our loved ones Graves. They have no put a notice up to say only One vase per grave. I personally don't think that is for them to decide, please share and sign this petition as much as possible. Their notice will affect many many people. Families pay for their loved ones headstones, sometimes with more than one space for flowers attached. Any more than one case per grave will be removed, to me and many

Ottery St Mary Food & Families Festival Road Closure
Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy a car free Ottery St Mary Market Square during the Food & Families Festival on 4th June? The Map below shows the proposed closure between 0900 and 1700. This would create a safe and vibrant honeypot for our community to enjoy the best that East Devon can offer. If you agree this would be a great idea (with obvious alternative routes and bus stops clearly signposted), please sign this petition. We need your support to help make this happen! Many thanks.
