There used to be an extensive railway around Levenmouth. The tracks of this rail network still exist. Until very recently the coal trains ran to the power station in Leven. The railway was removed in favour of car transportation and since then this has left the town economically stranded and has had a detrimental effect on the community. To date people living in Leven are by far the largest urban concentration in Scotland not served by direct rail links. The line is intact, unlike others which have been granted meaning that the costs would be vastly reduced in repair. We only have very poor alternative transport modes, especially road, despite the very large population and industrial base. We have significant growth in housing and thus population which is not served by necessary infrastructure. We are terribly affected by being cut off. I have not been able to sell my house in seven years despite it being a period property in the town centre, the crisis made worse by low employment opportunities in the area. The return of a railway would constitute a green alternative to constantly building roads and cars thereby lessening the climate impact. As a coastal and golfing town, we have much to offer families and visitors as we did before our railway was taken away without our consultation. We need our trains back.

Renaming the A6 would honour one of NI's most distinguished poets, Seamus Heaney. He took this route often to school & back from home and the region was part & parcel of his early work. His poetry is inclusive, hopeful, reflective and frequently quoted as part of our peace process. Ideally the A6 also can further his wishes for progress and peace. This would tie up very well with the "Wild Atlantic Way" and can benefit the counties in between too. It would be advantageous too for Tourism and as the Heaney Homestead is on this route, also rather appropiate.

Traffic from a Balkerne Hill, a major two lane arterial road, will be temporarily diverted through our narrow residential streets for up to 6 months. This is unnecessary and will create huge new traffic flows through residential streets, causing air and noise pollution, traffic gridlock, and pedestrian hazards. Residents have not been properly consulted by Essex County Council which should listen to our reasonable and legitimate concerns. Your road or street could be next! Help petition both: (i) Essex County Council - to stop the traffic diversion and consult with local residents, and (ii) Colchester Borough Council - to stand up to the County Council on behalf of Colchester residents.

The council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!

People need public toilets, the closing of them would be bad for public health, city centre trade, tourism and public events

This is important because the majority of the people who are going to spend the most time in the building are the pupils and therefore their opinions and thoughts should be taken into account.

Disabled people cannot use footpaths obstructed by vehicles. It also puts the elderly, children, and babies in prams in danger, by forcing them onto the road.

Small, independent businesses will drop. They give London a character. This is imprudent and obstructing business growth.

People within the community will feel safer and the crime rate may decrease, bringing higher levels of community cohesion into the area.

To stop the Council from ruining our area where we live as the developer British Land proposes to do. This 38 Degree petition may add new signatures to the 300 signatures we have already put together petitioning the Council to look again, we need to put together 500 signatures by December 1st 2016

The fundamental mistake made by planners, at all levels, is that they assume that residential accommodation is automatically, a house. There is so much empty office space in all towns, large and small, which, if handed over to be used for residential use, would provide so much housing, usually without too much work required. Some towns are doing this, but it needs to be a national scheme. This, more often than not, is in town centres and if empty buildings could be converted for housing, thousands of people would become residents of towns that often need reviving. The residents would not need to commute by car to work, would use shops in the towns and contribute to the towns` economies as well as the Local Authorities through Council Tax.

To feel safe when walking through the alley. It's so dark you can't even see where your going - this is for most nights. Recent news of people dressing up as clowns to hurt and/or frighten people is an added worry in such a dark alleyway. Personally, I don't feel safe walking down that alleyway, but my neighbours and I live there and that is the only access route to our homes. Which ever end of the alleyway you use, it is still pitch black for the majority of it.
