We want the Government to stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance (LSA) which compensates British service personnel for unavoidable extended time away from their families due to deployments and training.

The Longer Separation Allowance recognises the impact of time away from home. It is taxed like salary under UK tax law, and there are currently no plans to change this.

Pause housebuilding targets imposed on councils, review and identify local need - 16,694 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 21,592 - 78 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.

Ban the use of netting on roofs and outdoor structures - 20,014 Signatures

Thousands of birds are reported to get trapped in netting yearly, and many may die in pain and fear from the horrific injuries sustained trying to free themselves e.g. breaking their entangled limbs. Others may die of dehydration and starvation and rescuers are too late.

The Government responsed to this petition on 17th April 2026 (View Full Response)
Anyone using bird netting as a deterrent has a responsibility to check and maintain it to prevent trapping and unnecessary suffering.

Expand statutory SEN allowance entitlement to Teaching Assistants in SEN schools - 17,533 Signatures

(Estimated Final Signatures: 17,757 - 70 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 responsed to this petition on 27th July 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is establishing the School Support Staff Negotiating Body to negotiate pay and conditions for our vital school support staff, including teaching assistants.
