Open Petition since 24th April 2026

Make it illegal to walk dogs during extreme heat to prevent suffering and death. - 11,580 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,653 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

Introduce legislation to make it an offence to walk or exercise dogs during dangerously high temperatures (i.e. 25°C and above), to protect them from heatstroke and burned paws.

The Government responsed to this petition on 31st July 2026 (View Full Response)
Legislation and guidance already protects pets during extreme heat. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is an offence to cause any animal unnecessary suffering or fail to provide for its welfare.

Fund permanent, 24-hour police patrols in Jewish communities - 11,497 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 11,544 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)

In the face of a significant rise of antisemitism across the UK, we ask the Government to fund permanent 24-hour police patrols in Jewish communities.

The Government responsed to this petition on 3rd August 2026 (View Full Response)
On 13 July, we announced over £250m to increase policing in Jewish communities, in addition to the £25m announced in April. Operational decisions, such as 24/7 police patrols, are for police forces.

Ban default service charges and pre-set digital tip screens in hospitality - 10,493 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,798 - 23 added in the past 24hrs)

Prohibit hospitality businesses from automatically adding "discretionary" service charges to bills, and ban digital card readers from prompting customers with pre-set tip percentages before payment. We believe all tipping must be 100% voluntary and initiated by the customer.

The Government responsed to this petition on 16th September 2026 (View Full Response)
The government does not plan to prohibit hospitality businesses from adding optional service charges to bills or from offering pre-set tip options. Existing consumer law prohibits unfair practices.

We ask the Government to ratify ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples and consider whether it would be appropriate to formally recognise the English, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, and Manx as the indigenous peoples of Great Britain and its isles.

The Government responsed to this petition on 7th September 2026 (View Full Response)
The Government is committed to protecting human rights and cultural heritage. We do not consider ILO Convention No.169 as applicable in the UK and its Overseas Territories.

Return Royal Mail to public ownership - 10,284 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,395 - 26 added in the past 24hrs)

We are concerned that Royal Mail has made profits for years while having repeated industrial disputes with loyal postal workers. Letter delivery has failed time and again. We believe privatisation has clearly failed — the Government should restore Royal Mail to public ownership

Remove the grey belt planning rules - 8,163 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 10,204 - 255 added in the past 24hrs)

The grey belt was introduced as a measure to enable building on poor quality Green Belt such as old car parks, abandoned petrol stations and scrub. We are concerned the planning rules are framed in such a way that high quality Green Belt can be lost to development.
