Bristol is now the second most congested city in the UK and pollution kills nearly 200 people a year. 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.

The 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.

From 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.

With 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.

B&Q Muller road Bristol has been serving the central communities of Bristol for 27 years. Trades people and keen D.I.Y lovers rely on this store. It has no problem making trade. It just doesn't own the land so now the land owner is selling to another housing development. With the closing of the Filton store aswell the closest store is now Longwell Green! a journey that many will find difficult and upsetting. I for one have been using this store for 20 years..for little jobs and big ones. Bits and bobs etc.I have always loved going here on my own as well as with family and enjoyed searching the isles for things as well as choosing plants in the garden section. The staff are very helpful and lets not forget having a lovely egg butty in the car park on a Saturday! Its more than just a B&Q its a very important part of our community.

The NHS Clayton Hospital site is already owned by the public so the first civic response should be to re-purpose the site for continued public use. It is official policy of The Department of Health that, where surplus NHS land is being considered for disposal, NHS Trusts should "provide the public with the opportunity to consider for themselves whether estate is being best used". The site was originally an 18th century garden built on for a 19th/20th-century hospital. None of the jumble of hospital buildings are listed for preservation and their complete demolition would considerably enhance the conservation area. It is a large central site and any in-filling with contemporary buildings would be extremely detrimental to the character of the whole conservation area. The site would be relatively inexpensive to landscape into a park/garden. The site retains many large trees within an existing stone boundary wall and ornate entrance ways. A park/garden would provide a much-needed open green leisure space within the city centre for all city centre users. The park/garden could provide many other amenities such as a terrace cafe, childrens play areas, dog walking area, etc. The site would create a spectacular public open space for the city which could be used for civic gatherings and events.

Members of the public find it difficult to support a political party 100%. Our system is out of date, our MPs out of touch, the public go unheard. We agree with points made by the Lib Dems, the Conservatives, Labour, the Green Party, the SNP etc and sometimes we disagree with them all. Either way we can't communicate with the government effectively. The system needs to work for us all but instead it's dusty, nobody really understands it or cares to sort it out with any long term vision. We need to start again. Simplify. Direct questions, direct answers. If regular referendums were to take place, the public are truly part of the process, allowing us to demonstrate what we care about, that we're united and want to invest in the future of this land and it's people. Less moaning and more doing, having a proactive and fair say, feeling satisfied that the decisions are being made and supported by the majority of the UK. Let the UK public vote for their future. This Kingdom can then begin to feel proud and respected, and most importantly, united.

In peak times the roads in Liverpool can get congested and in some places there are bottlenecks. This railway line, if re-opened, could relieve congestion on Liverpool roads. New stations could be built or rebuilt at: For the Old Liverpool Loop Line: New stations could be opened at: Gateacre, Childwall, Knotty Ash and Stanley*, West Derby*, Clubmoor, Warbreck and Aintree (New Platform at existing station). *Platforms are still extant. For the Canada Dock Branch: New station be opened at: Edge Lane, Stanley (for the Stanley Market), Tuebrook (for the Tuebrook Market), Breck Road, new station known as Liverton, which is a combination of Liverpool and Everton FC station or two separate stations each for both the football stadia; and also a new station at Spellow and new platforms at Kirkdale and Bootle, which would be the terminus, unless through running to Southport from Edge Hill Station's bay platforms still extant. *Platforms are still extant. Instead of pontificating about the expansion of Merseyrail, which the authorities seem to be doing a lot of, this petition is to get the various bodies, such as the Merseyside Integrated Transport Authority and Network Rail, who still owns the trackbed of Liverpool Loop Line, should get something rolling about and bring it back into operation. Presently, SusTrans - Sustainable Transport - provides a network of cycle paths on the former railway line cutting, as part of the Trans-Pennine Trail. The problem is with Merseyside ITA is that it seems to be pontificating over what could be a very good railway network for Merseyrail, but while these authorities are trying to make up their mind whether or not to implement or to deploy the re-opening of these railway line to passenger services, the cost of bringing such projects back into operational use would have escalated and that's probably one of the reasons why these authorities won't go ahead with this. This has happened with the Merseytram project, which has had to be shelved due to escalating costs. Since 1992, the Manchester Metrolink System has knocked spots off Merseyrail. Why? Because: 1) You can get to a cricket match at Trafford; 2) You can get to football matches at both Manchester United and Manchester City football stadia; 3) You get to Manchester Airport; 4) You can visit the Tate Art Gallery and the Imperial War Museum at Salford Quays; 5) BBC and ITV television staff use the trams to get to MediaCity; 6) The Manchester Metrolink utilises the old British Rail routes from Manchester Victoria to Altrincham, Bury, Oldham and Rochdale. With the Merseyrail System, there is decent rail link to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which could have been factored in to when Liverpool South Parkway was being built!!! In Liverpool, football fans have to take a train from Liverpool Central to Sandhills, then board a double decker bus, what is known locally as a Soccerbus, which is run by Arriva, to take these fans to their respective Liverpool and Everton football matches.

There are no parking spaces for motorcycles in Pinner. I cannot park my bike in front of the shops. Got stung with a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice). The parking spaces for cars are always full all the time. I cannot park in the disabled parking spaces (I am profoundly deaf, which therefore makes me disabled so I should be able to park my bike in these spaces - the chances of a wheelchair user needing the space to park his/her car is very slim), I parked my bike in the disabled bays and got stung twice withe the PCN both on the same day which is just way way way beyond ridiculous. There's nowhere to park my bike in Pinner if I need to do some shopping in Pinner. If I cannot park my bike in front of the shops, the car spaces are always full and I cannot park in the disabled spaces, then where am I going to park my bike if I want to do some shopping in Pinner????? I don't want to get stung by the blasted PCN yet again! They already have parking spaces for bikes in Harrow and Uxbridge. Why should Pinner miss out? The shopkeepers in Pinner will want to attract and encourage business to Pinner. Plus bikes are greener than cars. If Harrow Council wants to claim it has green credentials, then they should consider setting aside some parking spaces for bikes in Pinner so that bikers and scooter riders (I ride a 125 c.c. motorised scooter) can park their bikes in Pinner whenever they want to go shopping in Pinner. Not every biker is a Hell's Angels-type biker.

Mega Dairies, where over 1000 cows are held in sheds 24/7 all year, are cruel and cause serious environmental damage. It is often called 'zero-grazing' when cows are never allowed in fields. It is a disgraceful form of farming... and it is entirely unnecessary. It is motivated only by greed not a social need. In Hartland in Devon an enormous slurry lagoon has been built, without even asking for permission, in the middle of an AONB. Since then the whole area has suffered considerable environmental damage and several people blame their health problems on it. And the cows... well they are healthy when measured in terms of milk yield but just look into their eyes. It is sad to see. It is in complete contrast to cows in fields that show curiosity and a spectrum of social behaviors. Please help us stop this kind of farming. Stopping this lagoon is the first step. http://stopit.org.uk The farm in Hartland is owned by the same persion that was responsible for the Nocton that resulted in an uproar of protest and Early Day Motions in Parliment.

The Housing and Planning Bill 2015-2016 includes measures to sell "high value" council homes in St Albans off to the highest bidder. The government have not defined what is meant by the term "high value" and won't do so until after the bill is passed. Housing charity Shelter have estimated that using a standard definition of "high value" would mean the loss of approximately 60% of the council homes in St Albans or 2993 homes. The money from the sale of these properties will be handed over to the government, with the local council keeping a tiny fraction. If the homes are sold for an average of £150,000 (a fraction of what they are likely to be sold for) then local tax payers will lose more than £500m. By signing this petition At a time of the worst housing crisis since the war, we need more housing not less. These plans will lead to a reduction of council stock and affordable housing to rent. UPDATE: New amendments to the bill tabled by the Secretary of State Greg Hands in January 2016 also make provision for Developers to nominate private companies to process their planning applications. We worry an individual or organisation that submits a planning application will be free to shop around for whichever alternative provider they think can give them the best chance of getting a planning application accepted. These idea has already been trialed in St Albans and experienced issues, we are also worried about the effect of any privatisation of the planning process on the engagement of local people in planning applications. Many companies may prioritise speed over quality in determining applications.
