Pause housebuilding targets imposed on councils, review and identify local need - 17,023 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,907 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)

We ask the government to pause housebuilding targets and consult local communities to identify where substantial house building is needed, not where developers prefer to build. We worry about developers appealing rejected applications and councils and communities often having no funds for a defence.


Open Petition since 10th February 2026

Expand statutory SEN allowance entitlement to Teaching Assistants in SEN schools - 17,600 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,601 - 1 added in the past 24hrs)

Many SEN teaching assistants (TAs) handle complex behavioural, medical, and communication needs. We feel current pay doesn’t reflect the intensity or value of the work. Low pay contributes to recruitment & retention challenges. We believe TAs should receive SEN allowances.

The Government is establishing the School Support Staff Negotiating Body to negotiate pay and conditions for our vital school support staff, including teaching assistants.

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10%: protect jobs, communities & UK competitiveness - 15,832 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,376 - 16 added in the past 24hrs)

Reduce VAT on hospitality to 10% to prevent closures & protect tax revenue. When venues close, HMRC loses 100% of its VAT, business rates, PAYE & corporation tax, reducing employment & supply chains. We believe a lower VAT rate would keep viable businesses trading, securing jobs & ongoing revenue.

The Government responsed to this petition on 19th June 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is supporting UK hospitality through Great British Summer Savings and lower business rates. Cutting VAT to 10% would cost around £11 billion a year.

Investigate the failures in the administration of Civil Service Pensions - 15,982 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 16,149 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

We call on Parliament to investigate the ongoing and systemic failures in the administration of civil service pensions. These failures have left thousands of current and former civil servants in limbo, waiting excessive periods for pension payments they are entitled to.

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th May 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is clear that Capita must restore pension service levels by end of June 2026. We are using all commercial levers, including withholding payments, to hold them to account for failures.

Increase funding for veteran-led organisation supporting veterans into work - 15,110 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,266 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government responsed to this petition on 23rd April 2026 (View Full Response)
Veterans play a vital role in society. A full range of support is already in place to help them make use of their unique skills and experience to find fulfilling, sustainable careers after service.

The Government believes the current framework, supported by guidance and enforcement, provides proportionate protection, and has no plans to mandate coeliac training for catering staff.
