There’s no legal requirement for councillors/mayors to be proficient in English. This can lead to communication barriers in meetings and with constituents. This petition calls for mandatory English fluency for these roles.
Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately
- 22,579 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 25,556 - 56 added in the past 24hrs)
Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill immediately, because it downgrades education for all children, undermines educators and parents. We think it will cause harm to children, with their details being digitally stored for anyone to use without permission.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,518 - 65 added in the past 24hrs)
It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.

- 23,177 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 23,361 - 19 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe this would help ensure retirement savings are protected and people can save with confidence
