• Bring back public information films
    Incredibly, people don't know they are allowed in box junctions at a right turn if their way is clear,or how to use mini roundabouts. Everyone remembers Reginald Molehusband and "don't dazzle, dip your headlights". The police don't do it so someone must. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3R7hG_pLaI

  • Reinstate cash payments on London buses
    Transport for London recently decided that bus passengers would no longer be able to pay their fares with cash, but instead could only pay with Oyster cards that need to have credit put on them in advance, or with contactless debit cards. This means that if someone doesnt realise their Oyster card has run out of credit, and doesn't have a debit card (as many don't), they are unable to use the bus. This leaves people stranded and unable to use the only form of transport available to many. It is often difficult to find a shop which will put credit on the oyster card, and all the machines are switched off at 9 or 10 o'clock. If you lose your card or can't find a shop that does it, you are stranded. It is impractical, not fit for purpose, and discriminates against those who can not afford other means of transport.

  • Save the Dinder Bus!
    Apart from rural footpaths, the only way to and from Dinder is by road; without a bus service then school kids, mobility impaired and elderly residents, as well as their friends and family in the local area, will no longer have the independence the bus service provides. Destroying rather than building environmentally-friendly transport networks, while giving no alternative provision is a terrible step backwards, affecting us all.

  • S.O.H.R.(SAVE OUR HOLIDAY RESORT)
    The introduction of car parking fees are capable of destroying years of investment and hard work which has brought New Brighton prosperity, and a reinvigorated economy. The most popular answer in a poll undertaken to ask why people like New Brighton is "Free Parking", next "the best beaches this side of Anglesey"! New Brighton was dying only 10 years ago, but we and the council managed to attract investment from "Neptune development" It might be best to not waste all that time and money by returning to 10 years ago

  • Stop charges for vehicle recovery if stolen
    Because it is immoral that any person who has had their vehicles stolen should have to pay an extortionate amount to get possession back of there property, we already have to go through the process of insurance rises and loss of earnings, we understand that if it is not MOT'd, Taxed or insured. fair play, but when it has been stolen from your home, place of work or shopping etc , then in order to get it back you are charged a fee of somewhere between £150-£250 and then daily additional fees on top. We are the victims not the criminals.

  • BELLS ON BIKES
    Here is my letter to which I have not had a reply: Dear Mr Rutley M.P., Today I had a close shave in the Weston Estate park when I narrowly escaped serious injury in a collision with a cyclist. There was absolutely no warning and I can only put it down to intuition that caused me to turn in time. In turning I lost balance and fell to the ground. The cyclist, a youth perhaps in late teens shouted out an abusive comment and rode on. Luckily I fell on the grass verge of the football pitch. It took me a while to scrabble about putting my groceries back into my shopping bag and even longer to get upright. At eighty years of age it is not so easy to get up from a prone position without assistance which in this case there was none. I recall when I was a young boy cycling home from school along the pavement and I was stopped by a policeman. Apparently I was guilty of a number of crimes: in not having a serviceable bell on my handlebars, a front lamp that wasn't working, no chain guard and seemingly most criminal of all - of riding on the pavement. After having had my name and address taken I was cautioned and let go on condition that I address the offences forthwith. I now wonder why bells have disappeared from bicycles and why cycling is permitted in public parks. Another worrying factor is that I could well have received a much more serious upset such as a broken hip or even been the victim of a stroke. I am writing to you to ask firstly, if you can do something about the hazards presented to the elderly by cyclists and latterly bring up the subject of a bicycle proficiency, appropriate insurance and a number plate for identification in the case of an accident such as I have described. I do appreciate that in the light of ever expanding queues at food banks and the latest terrorist activities my complaint might appear as very trivial indeed but nothing is trivial to the OAP lying in hospital with pneumonia following hip surgery. Perhaps if you have no interest in this matter you would be kind enough to tell me to whom I should be writing. I look forward to your reply William J Watters 27 Somerton Road Macclesfield SK11 8SG

  • Bring Speed Restrictions to Plox Green
    Visibility is poor on this junction, particularly turning from Farm Lane towards Minsterley. Children cross this road to wait for the Mary Webb School & Science College bus and Minsterley Motors bus service; they need to be, and to feel, safe. Motorcyclists and car drivers leaving Minsterley see this stretch of the A488 as an opportunity to accelerate, often not respecting even the 60mph limit, which is already too high for this junction. Similarly, Farm Lane serves the whole of the Snailbeach/Stiperstones region and this creates a lot of traffic in the rush hour and tourist season, including bicycles and pedestrians. In term time, there are often children walking up and down Farm Lane. Many drivers approach the last bend towards the Plox Green junction at high speeds. Residents often hear squealing of wheels and brakes on the main road and Farm Lane. Residents have witnessed several accidents on both the A488 junction at Plox Green, and on the approach to the bridge by the junction on Farm Lane, Plox Green. Also, cars coming down the Hope Valley sometimes do not note that vehicles are turning up towards Snailbeach. There has been at least one accident, and much driver stress, waiting to turn right and watching in the rear view mirror as vehicles approach at high speed from Hope. There was much successful improvement made to the road 20 years ago to reduce the number of accidents. This means that cars can now travel at much higher speeds at less risk to themselves. However, there is now a greater risk to vehicles emerging from Snailbeach direction, and children, cyclists, bus users, and tourists. This is a residential cross roads. Please help us bring down the speed limit on this junction.

  • Keep pedestrians safe
    This is a blind crossing point, because of the configuration of the junction, and the fence round the adjoining property. It is much used by persons wishing to access the Sherwood House surgery at 9 Sandon Road, many of whom are elderly, disabled, or young mums. I am concerned as Secretary to the local Neighbourhood Forum that there may be a fatality at the junction if something is not done.

  • Vehicle Insurances for young people
    We all now how important Human Rights are in the 21st century. We fight for the equal employment rights for women, we fight for the equality in regards to different races and cultures, however we sometimes forget to fight for ourselves. Yes, I am aiming this at you: young generation living in the United Kingdom. Car insurance companies in the UK are claiming that young drivers are a much higher risk to other road users, thus they deserve to pay premiums, which 90% of us can not pay. Did they test your driving skills? Do they know how well aware and careful you are when driving on the road? No! I believe this means that we - younger generation are being discriminated against based on our age, despite the fact that the majority of young drivers are much more careful on the road than perhaps the older generation. I, my self have been driving in this country for 5 years now - I am 23 years old, which means that I have 5 years of No Claim Bonus's. However, I still somehow end up paying over 3.000 pounds per year for my car insurance. And no - I do not drive a BMW or a Mercedes; it is a Toyota. The Government, despite knowing about the situation does not seem to be doing much about it, so I believe it is time for us to stand up and fight for our rights - just like the others do. We just simply want to drive! Just like the others. It is our right, given by the Government to be able to own and function a vehicle, and the only forces that stop us from doing so are the insurance companies.

  • Improve Wigan Cycle Network
    A fatality happened on Robin Park Road in May. http://www.itv.com/news/granada/update/2015-05-15/cyclist-killed-near-wigan-polcie-station/ A tragedy like this is a clear indicator that the Wigan cycle network is unfit for use. Its high time that something has to be done to make cycling safer in the borough and to prevent any further incidents happening in the future. Other references that display the disappointing effort Wigan council make towards the cycling infrastructure: https://samuriinbred.wordpress.com/2014/05/05/wigan-orrell-cycling-corridor/
