• A speed limit for Hawling
    Hawling is a small village in the Cotswolds, based around a narrow winding country lane. Entry to the village at both ends is by a steep downhill road ending in a blind corner.This makes fast traffic hazardous for villagers, particularly families with young children, and for pets and other animal using the road. There is currently no street lighting and no speed limit. A 20mph limit from the 'Hawling' signs at each end would encourage road users - motorists and cyclists - to drive/ride safely and enjoy a picturesque village.

  • Covid-19: Prohibit supermarkets from using Plastic Bags in delivery and collection services
    Since the first UK lockdown, competition laws were relaxed by the government, waiving the 5p bag fee for online deliveries and collection. That has led to supermarkets using hundreds of thousands of plastic bags against the wishes of consumers. Over several decades leading up to 2020, the UK has worked to reduce waste from single-use disposable objects such as straws, utensils, coffee cups, beverage bottles and plastic bags. Possibly the most encouraging shift we witnessed, was the change in social norms around plastic waste; habitually taking our reusable bags to the supermarkets. Through the recent rule changes, all of the good work we were doing, collectively, as a nation, will have been for nothing; the good habits we got into, will be undone. We are at a pivotal moment in terms of plastic pollution. With the mounting piles of used single-use face masks, gloves and other protective equipment, we need to prevent Covid-19 actually becoming a pandemic of plastic pollution, and the government can help by eliminating unnecessary plastic bags.

  • Lymm supports the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill
    This is a Private Members’ Bill, and taking it through parliament will be a hard-fought process but it has been done before with major climate legislation. This is an alliance bill that has been written by scientists, lawyers and activists; it is gathering support from a broad range of campaign groups, businesses, charities and individuals, and Lymm Parish Council believes it is an important piece of legislation. The bill has the potential to become the most significant move forward since the Climate Change Act 2008. Passing the CEE bill ensures that: Our entire carbon footprint is taken into account (including all of the emissions linked to the production and transport of goods from overseas that we consume in the UK We don’t depend on technology (NETs) to save the day as an excuse for inaction We focus on nature as much as climate, protecting and conserving habitats in the UK and internationally on supply chains Citizens are central to deciding how to move forward, in a Citizens’ Assembly with real teeth “This Bill outlines the path needed to avoid the catastrophe outlined by the United Nations... it is farsighted aiming to protect those at risk now and in the future.” https://www.ceebill.uk/

  • Stop Portland being a waste dump
    It would be detrimental to this UNESCO World heritage Site, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. it would generate pollution from the huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the incinerated waste imported from other areas. Plus the disruption and emissions from the 25-tonne articulated lorries. It would seriously damage the visitor economy just as Portland is becoming a centre for tourism. So much pollution for such a small Island is unsustainable.

  • Paperless Offices
    45% of office printouts end up in the trash every day! The Environmental Paper Network reports that over the past 50 years, there’s been a four-fold increase in global consumption of paper. Despite the fact, that we live in the era of digitization and have all the tools we need to make paperless offices a real thing, our love affair with paper has continued and there is no sign that this madness will end soon. But it should end now, because that's what the people want: 89% of Gen Zers said they are concerned about the planet’s health, and of this, 94% were of the view that businesses should help address urgent issues. And they are right! Climate change isn't only caused by diesel engines and coal-fired power plants. It's a challenge we all have to face together, both the industry and the people. In 2020, the year COVID-19 forced us to install digital workplaces across the globe, which are here to stay! In fact, BCG’s recent Workplace of the Future employer survey found that companies expect about 40% of their employees to follow a remote-working model in the future. That being said, it is an ideal time to rethink how many unnecessary copies of documents, customer orders, approval forms, and emails are printed each day. Vote for our environment, vote for the trees, and vote for paperless offices now!

  • Ban cigarette filter tips that are not biodegradable
    Cigarette filter tips traditionally take decades to breakdown, and are polluting our oceans and rivers. Up to 38% of waste found in our oceans are cigarette butts. There is no reason to continue using cellulose acetate for this.

  • Weekend Residents’ parking for Weltje Road and Rivercourt Road South
    Since Latymer School has decided to sublet their sports facilities, local residents have experienced an unprecedented rise in illegal parking and antisocial behaviour including cars running their engines for prolonged periods contributing to worsening air quality and noise pollution. Parking in front of driveways, dropped curbs or in private car spaces on the mall is recurrent and antisocial . We have a number of families with buggies and older residents with mobility issues and it is only right that people are able to drive out of their homes on weekends and park in private car spaces. Furthermore, cars are often parked at entrance of the roads from/to the A4 which is not only illegal but very dangerous. We believe that by extending residents’ parking to the weekends and the policing of this through wardens and fines this behaviour will be kept in check and the negative social and health externalities currently paid for by local residents will be internalised by monetary fines paid for by the offenders.

  • Stop Tideway Vehicles Polluting Bermondsey Kids
    The Planning enquiry into the Super Sewer fully noted the risk of operating in such a built up, residential part of South London, with two schools very close to the site. Some of the properties have been partially protected from sound pollution from the site, but for some others, it was not feasible to upgrade sound protection. A large number of Bermondsey children use Chambers Street and Bevington Street to get to their schools. Engines cause fumes that affect children with Asthma. Covid has affected kids enough, those living nearby need respite from the disruption of light, noise and fumes from the site.

  • Request to change speed limit on B6097 Wath road to 30MPH
    There have been numerous incidents over the years on this stretch of road and something needs to be done about it now. There are residential areas on this stretch of road, Pit Row and Tinglebridge. It is very precarious on that road currently to put it mildly because of all the blind corners. We propose that 30mph speed limit be put in place from elsecar side before Pit row, round to past junction with Tinglebridge & Tinglebridge Lane.
