Decent broadband in rural areas such as Upper Ruxley, Sidcup/DartfordPeople in small towns and villages need internet just as much as people in big towns and cities. Decent broadband connection is essential for everything from paying bills to running businesses. Not forgetting of course that school children and college students need broadband access to do their homework. But for some places in the UK, the internet speed is either painfully slow or non-existent. It's time the government stepped up and fulfilled it's promise of decent broadband for everyone.10 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ray Tibbles

Road Safety for Greenbank School Children on Smithdown RoadLiverpool City Council have already decided to cut some school crossing patrols (Lollipop ladies/men) because they are not a statutory service and therefore they do not have a legal obligation to keep our children safe. Although Greenbank Primary’s School crossing patrol was cut, Greenbank School along with more than another 50 schools have stepped in to fund this vital service. As you are all more than aware, a huge redevelopment is taking place on Smithdown Road, many of us have raised concerns about making this road much safer for pedestrians. This is the perfect opportunity to request Liverpool City Council to make this junction between Smithdown Road and Greenbank Road much safer to cross. After several emails to the City Council and local Councillors I recently raised this issue with the school. I was asked to collate the support of lots of parents so I have develop this petition: This is of the upmost importance as the road is very busy with traffic and all of us who travel to and from the primary school, nursery and park need the highest of road safety. The council have worked in partnership with the University of Liverpool to add a crossing for students to access Greenbank Park because the road crossing there is dangerous. Do we not all believe that our children deserve the same level of safety?22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elaine McNeill

Petition for a Community Governance ReviewThe current parish boundaries were drawn up long before Beverley had a building boom, which saw the settlement grow into the continuous built-up area we now know. The separation into three parish authorities is now outdated, and no longer reflects the community. It also means that some residents living in Beverley, specifically to the North and the South of Beverley, do not have a say on Beverley Town Council because they belong to Molescroft Parish and Woodmansey Parish. In other words, the current community governance arrangements hinder effective local government. Residents on Lincoln Way and the surrounding area are unlikely to consider themselves as living in Woodmansey. Moreover, residents have expressed concern that their interests are not properly represented on Woodmansey Parish, as exemplified in said parish council’s decision to commission a Neighbourhood Plan that covers only the village itself. As for Molescroft, it forms part of Beverley, and its residents ought to have a say on the Town Council; however, this cannot happen whilst there is a separate Molescroft Parish Council. To sum up, the current community governance arrangements hinder community cohesion and effective local government by artificially splitting the town of Beverley into three parts. The above recommendations · improve community engagement · bring communities closer together · create better local democracy · result in more efficient delivery of local services We are, therefore, asking East Riding of Yorkshire Council to undertake a community governance review to ensure that community governance arrangements reflect local identities and facilitate effective and convenient local government.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Beate Willar

Reduce speed limit on Kingsley Road to 20mphKingsley Road runs alongside two primary schools and is used by pedestrians, cyclists, cars and buses. After much campaigning by Kingsley Community Primary School, a zebra crossing has been added to the road, however many cars still speed through it and ignore pedestrians crossing the road. In order to make the road safer for all road users, we the undersigned propose reducing the speed limit to 20mph and enforcing it with a speed camera. Residents who live on Kingsley Road have reported that it is difficult to reverse out of their driveways currently, as other cars drive past so fast. A child from Kingsley School has been involved in an incident on the road. Many parents with children at the schools are in favour of reducing the speed limit, as are local residents. There is no need for this road to have a 30mph speed limit. A driver driving at 20mph is far less likely to be involved in a road collision than one driving at 30mph.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Stephanie Pitchers

Human Heath should be protected in Planning PolicyMy wife had a double lung transplant in April 2014 as she was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had months to live without such an a gift of life. Since Summer 2014 we and local residents have been fighting plans to build another 25 houses around our property on old allotments ground. The applications are flawed in many ways and have objections from County Highways Authority. Due to Highways objections it also proposes changes to our property by taking a small proportion of our land and changing our parking from the front to the rear which we have already refused when offered. None of the legalities have been addressed by the applicants, despite repeated requests. Whilst we consider the application to be invalid due to lack of legalities and missing/inaccurate information the Planning Case Officer sees no merit in refusing permission, suggesting it is not invalid! We have now been stuck in a position for nearly two years where our future is being held by many other parties and not ourselves. We cannot even market our property should we wish to due to the lack of legal agreements. In the meantime during 2015 a nearby site of 85 houses has had a serious effect on her health with the huge amounts of dust contributing to her contracting Aspergillosis and losing over 30% of her new donor lungs!

Yet in the last 3 years just 1 km of truly protected cycleway has been built. Bike Life survey shows that in Bristol – 80% of people support increasing the safety of cycling 70% of people want to see more spent on safer cycling infrastructure The next Council needs to make a comprehensive network of safe, connected cycle routes.a priority.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Space4Cycling Bristol BristolCycleCampaign

Lower the speed limit in Woodstock Lane South, Esher, Chessington/ Kingston By-passThe reason for the dangers of the residents and local people is because there is no footpath. Also many dogs, cats and even horse have been injured or killed down this small road. Many people come of the motorway at 50 mph.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Williams

Proper, Considered Review of the Almondsbury Helibase plansFrom what we know, there is no need for the helibase to move from Filton to Almondsbury. The Almondsbury location is green belt land and requires very special circumstances to be considered for building. Not only are there no special circumstances in this case but there is no fundamental reason to move the helibase. There is no apparent risk to the helicopter services and it is understood that the current location of the helibase is secure, hence no need to move.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eric Hatton

Improve Rural Mobile Phone CoverageWith all the mobile networks claiming 99% population coverage for mobile phone signal why is only 63% of the UK land mass covered by signal. Over 4500 miles of UK roads have no mobile phone coverage at all. This is not only dangerous but it is stifling development in rural areas and holding back local businesses. The government have an arrangement with the 4 main UK networks to spend £5bn by the end of 2017 to improve this but they have already come up against issues themselves with planning permission, un-co-operative landlords, site access and power to the sites. If we can make enough noise to make them realise how important this is to our communities then they will make the necessary changes needed to push through these plans. If we don't? We can see the 2017 deadline come and go and very little will change apart from 4g coverage in cities getting faster and faster.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Scott Dennistoun
