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.

I live on Wilbury Avenue, and many drivers use it and Newtown Road as a short cut, frequently driving much too fast. There are no speed limit signs or other measures to reduce speed. Residents find it dangerous, and it undermines the enjoyment of living on this road. Please sign this petition.

We should not need to promote food that is unhealthy for young and old. Less MCDONALDS or KFC like food empires, should reduce the NHS costs to treat obesity and obesity related deceases Ely is one pf the most beautiful and unique places and should be protected from the like of the McDonald and KFC Mafia and their unhealthy form of diet

This planning proposal was voted out by Fylde Planning Dept. earlier in October by a very narrow vote. The Councillors voting against the proposal do not see the value of green, pollution free energy, which we, in the western world, need desperately. The Councillors voted narrowly against this proposal in the face of overwhelming public support, and I consider this very undemocratic. They did not seem to listen to the arguments that the land would get double value by producing energy and still be able to be used for grazing as it has for the last 30 years, This seems to be nimbyism, short sighted and not willing to encompass new technology.

Southwark Council has a new policy about tree planting: that no trees are to be planted on pavements less than 2.1m wide, excluding the kerb. That is, as you'll see if you take your tape measure outside, a pretty wide pavement; most of our residential streets are narrower. Many of those streets already have trees on them. These trees are beloved parts of the neighbourhood: they freshen the environment, add beauty through the seasons, and make London feel a better place for people to live and thrive. The trouble is, Southwark's policy means that if any of these much-loved trees get damaged, vandalised or diseased, the Council is now simply cutting them down, rooting them out and paving over where they used to be, leaving behind a sadder, duller street. It's one thing to say that you won't plant new trees - though many of us would be happy to see more trees even in narrow streets - but quite another to say you won't replace old ones that were seen as a popular adornment, not a nuisance, by the people who actually lived in the area. We love these trees, and when they die, we mourn them. Refusing to replace them doesn't make the neighbourhoods more convenient: it impoverishes them, and probably decreases the value of our property as well. Southwark Council, we are asking you to do the right thing for people and for nature and change your policy so that trees that meet with misfortunes can be replaced even if they were growing in the smaller streets. We, the people who live in these streets, want the trees. Please hear us.

Glasgow has lost so much of its architectural heritage and we cannot afford to loose anymore or we will simply not be an attractive tourist spot for those from other European countries where the architecture is preserved to a larger state. This development of student housing could be built anywhere in the city, could it not be moved into the former City of Glasgow College building a few yards away that is up for sale? This area of Glasgow close to Townhead and Cowcaddens has virtually no heritage remaining and this former church is one of the only beautiful buildings remaining in this area. Please keep this vital part of our heritage for the next generations of Glaswegians to enjoy!

Reducing the number of people parking on the embankment will help to reduce the number of cars passing through and make the area a safer more enjoyable place for people to enjoy. Many of those people parking in the area, abuse the facility simply to avoid parking charges faced elsewhere as part of their commute to work. The Victoria Embankment in Nottingham has been given to the citizens of Nottingham and the locality for their mental and physical health & well-being. This breathing space is one of the most beautiful spots in the city; an oasis of serenity where people can escape from the hustle and bustle of traffic, of noise and of everyday life. This highly protected Covenanted Land, which has been gifted to the City, should be a place for people to visit for relaxation, recreation and enjoyment rather than another built-up car park amongst the urban sprawl. The embankment hosts many amazing events including the Riverbank Festival, The Robin Hood Marathon, Cycle Live and the Caribbean carnival parade amongst many others. These fantastic events are enjoyed by thousands of people from all over the region and demonstrate just how beneficial a space such as this can be when cars are no longer the number one priority. The benefits to mental and physical health, the bringing together of communities and the knock on economic effects are incalculable. The City Council has invested millions in a new tram route, has an award winning bus network, provides excellent park and ride facilities, as well as an accessible cycle hire scheme which has been free throughout the summer. Despite continued investment in sustainable and active travel options, many people still choose to use cars to travel into work and to destinations like this despite the financial burden, inconvenience caused by traffic congestion and knock effects to their health – not to mention issues with localised air pollution and greenhouse gases. The city council cannot rely on incentives along and has to crack down on those individuals who abuse local facilities, which are there to be enjoyed by local residents and people.

High rise residential buildings are a recipe of urban blight. Particularly in a picturesque location like Cambridge. The Marque development pushes the envelope of acceptable heights for living in the city centre. Not only has it won awards for truly bad architecture, it sets a terrible precedent for residential buildings in Cambridge. Housing has plenty of scope to expand within the city without extending permission above six floors for residential building and use. Street level daylight is getting limited and if ten storey apartment blocks become the norm (by precedent) then a small city that is mostly two storey housing will over develop, past more reasonable four or five storey apartments into slum high-rises. Councils generally should be managing upward growth of redevelopments in a more gradual way that allows the pressure for elevation to spread more evenly over the city landscape before accepting a new height.

Bad parking restricts visibility to other road users, restricts the road width , forces lorries and buses into the opposite carriageway and has caused a number of near miss accidents.
