1. Extra trains on the District Line Wimbledon Branch 
London Underground has previously announced that it planned to discontinue weekday services to Olympia. This would relieve pressure on Earls Court station and allow up to five additional morning rush hour trains to be provided on the Wimbledon line.
Now, following pressure from Olympia residents, it is backtracking.
2. Let it be Understood that the Film and Video Room is a STUDIO
Within the campus of Wimbledon College of Art, there is only one studio which is at all suitable for use as a film studio.
In recent years the college has seen a vast increase in the number of students wishing to create moving image work both on the specialised Print and Time-Based Media pathway as well as in Painting, Sculpture and the school of Theatre. However, this studio is constantly being given over to staff for meetings, presentations, tutorials and other such activities which are far more flexible in their mobility.
It is not necessary for these activities to take place in this studio and there are a range of far more suitable spaces in the college (e.g. the MEETINGS room). Time and time again students are being ousted from the 'specialist' film studio and having their projects ruined for the sake of staff-led activities.
This must change.
3. Bring Back Wimbledon Speedway
Wimbledon Speedway was founded in 1928 and have raced at Wimbledon Stadium, Plough Lane between 1928 and 1991 and again from 2002, until the stadium owners refused to extend our tenancy at the end of 2005.
The club has won multiple League Championships, World Individual Titles and many other domestic trophies, and are the most successful professional team sports club in the borough.
After five years away from the track, our efforts are now concentrated on bringing the club back to a competitive existence within its spiritual home.
For this we simply require the support of the local council, London Borough of Merton.
Please sign the petition, completing all the required fields, to show your support for the return of the Wimbledon 'Dons' Speedway Club.
4. Create a BBC Sports only channel
June 12, 2006
Ok, I hate sport I admit it but I feel the BBC makes life hell for anyone like me.
I don't want to ban sport on tv because I understand that it brings joy to millions but I do feel the fact that the BBC cancels everything for sport unfair.
This petition is to try and get the BBC to create a new channel to give people who want ordinary tv a chance to watch just that.
(If you want proof of what I mean look at the World Cup broadcasting and Wimbledon, the whole TV schedule stops just for them)
