Legislate to ban FPNs and prosecutions related to school attendance - 13,477 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 63,201 - 321 added in the past 24hrs)

We believe school fines & prosecutions do not help to improve school attendance. They are a blunt, ineffective tool & they do not tackle the root cause of attendance difficulties. I'm proposing the law is changed to ban FPNs & prosecutions. This will encourage collaboration rather than punishment.

Open Petition since 6th February 2026

Reduce Vehicle Excise Duty by 50% for vehicles aged 20 to 39 years - 48,545 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 55,294 - 54 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce a 50% VED reduction for cars aged 20–39. High taxes force functional vehicles to be scrapped, creating a "disposable" culture. Keeping existing cars is greener than building new ones, as it preserves embedded carbon. This "Young-Timer" bracket supports the circular economy and UK heritage.

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government has no plans to reduce Vehicle Excise Duty liabilities for vehicles aged 20 to 39 years. The Government keeps all taxes under review and the Chancellor makes decisions at fiscal events.

Introduce 5yr Minimum Sentence for unlawfully carrying a Knife 3yrs Juveniles - 50,286 Signatures

We've a knife crime epidemic with too many people carrying knives in public; As a serving police officer I tackled many offenders carrying a knife & once almost lost my life when stabbed in chest arresting a burglar; too many parents are planning funerals instead of bright futures for their children

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th February 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is not planning to introduce minimum sentences for carrying a knife. The law already provides for minimum custodial sentences for repeat knife possession and threatening with a weapon.

To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.

Make it an offence to carry a catapult in public without lawful defence - 40,119 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 41,862 - 246 added in the past 24hrs)

Change the law so catapult possession in public is an offence. Currently, police must prove intent or use to cause harm. We propose it becomes an absolute offence, like air rifles, without lawful defence. Rising attacks on people, animals, and wildlife show stronger powers are needed.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th December 2025 (View Full Response)
There are laws that can already be used against individuals who use catapults as a weapon, but the Government understands the concerns and is actively looking at this issue.
