We believe too many drivers are causing issues by obstructing footpaths and have not been deterred by fines, which can cause issues for the disabled, blind, families with small children and the safety of all people. Therefore, fines need st

Amend the Animal Welfare Act, to make it illegal to slaughter cattle before they reach the age of 25.

Require cyclists to wear helmets in cities by law

This would help the epidemic of cycle-related injuries. This would improve the health of our citizens, and, in promoting safe cycling, our planet.

Fund air ambulances

Air ambulances save lives daily, yet rely primarily on charity, not government funding. Without adequate funding, they might not be able to launch. We believe these vital services should be publicly funded like the NHS, police, and fire ser

Require people to undergo a learning course & get a license to own a pet

Do not close social care visa to protect UK health and social care

We urge the Government to pause the visa closure and engage directly with the care sector. We believe changes must not proceed until domestic staffing can safely meet care demand without harming service users or risking provider collapse.

Some flea treatments can be toxic to dogs if ingested. The government need to make it a legal requirement for manufacturers of these treatments to put more prominent warnings in large text on their products if they can be harmful to dogs wh

Life sentence for death by dangerous driving

Make the sentence for death by dangerous driving a life sentence with a minimum term of 25 years. We think it should be treated in the same way as murder because we think that when a driver kills somebody they have intentionally got behind

We think that consumers should be able to make a decision to purchase goods online based on the delivery company that will be used, before the purchase is completed. We think that the number of parcels stolen/disappearing before delivery is

Make spiking an indictable offence

We think that drink spiking should be a specific indictable offence and we believe that new legislation on drink spiking should include a minimum sentence of 3 months for offenders, which we think would increase with repeat offences. We als
