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.

Five years ago Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council had voted and promised to turn Bedworth Woodlands, a green field site, to Green Belt. They are now pushing to build homes on it. When I bought my home I chose one that felt rural and was apparently going to be protected. I love this area because the richness of the wildlife is amazing but it is likely to be lost. My resident hedgehog will have to go, along with the dragonflies and myriad other wonderful creatures. Local developers have been building 200 - 240 new homes a year in the borough and struggling to sell them but under this 'plan' this has to be accelerated to about 650 a year. To build these extra homes the council want to move a population of protected Great Crested Newts for 1200 'executive' homes even though the area needs simple 2 and 3 bed homes for local families and the development is likely to remain largely empty. Their excuse is that they must build 14000 homes in their plan but many of these homes are overspill (approx. 8000 - 9000 they are hiding the actual figures so it may be more) so not necessary for the area. Especially if it means building on green field sites. There are many empty buildings and brown field sites that can be used before a green field site is built on. If they do build on it the last area of green fields in the Borough will have gone. Please help us save it from pointless development.

This small village has been plagued with companies that pump out pollutants and constantly use small country lanes to transport materials on heavy plant vehicles. This latest venture to burn plastic bags to make into diesel is detrimental to the health of anyone living within a few miles radius. Our local GP already knows that most of the population, including many of our children, suffer from asthma and allergies due to past and present pollutants and we also have the M6 motorway running close by with all the emissions that entails. Please, please help us to stop this further erosion of our area. Stop the planning application that has been made to Lancashire County Council regarding a Pyrolysis fuel plant on Appley Lane North, Appley Bridge, Lancashire. Just some of the concerns that have already been raised include: •Potential of explosion •Release of pollution, gases and chemicals into the environment •Proximity to schools, homes and businesses •Increased traffic of heavy vehicles along already overloaded roads •Use of green belt land •The construction and appearance of a flare tower and 17.5m chimney •Hours of operation.

Oldway Mansion is an important grade II listed historic building and a key piece in the history of Paignton and Torbay. It should be able to be enjoyed by members of the public both now and in the future.

Civil Parking Enforcement has at its heart legal principles of fairness, justice and public service. On all three counts , local councils and central government including the department of transport have repeatedly failed to provide clear directions to the 'operation' of the system within the meaning and spirit of the law. There is a clear lack of imagination and the wrong uses of technology. No road user sets-out to break the law , cause congestion or invite upon themselves costs they have no budget for. Who wants to go for a £40 shop and pay a £60 parking fine ? Now is the time to reform the parking 'regime' for economic gains , user satisfaction , improved revenues based on positive actions , new jobs and the latest technologies .

Keswick to Penrith - Soon after leaving Keswick it passed through the Big tunnel and entered the narrow gorge of the River Greta which it crossed eight times over the three miles to Threlkeld where extensive sidings were provided to serve the micro-granite quarries. The next five miles to the summit level of 889ft at Tarn Moss just east of Troutbeck were at 1 in 62 and to avoid high ground east of Penruddock if made a gradual but complete horse shoe curve to the north. At Blencow up and down platforms were provided together with goods yard, cattle dock and coal drop. A long goods loop avoided the platforms and three quarries had connections in the area. From here the line dropped down to Redhills Junction, where the spur south to the West Coast and Eden Valley lines diverged to pass under this line. The CK&P then joined the WCML at Keswick Junction (NY508294) half a mile south of Penrith station. In the reverse direction trains from Penrith faced a continuous climb at 1 in 70 for over four miles to reach the summit. Reopening Proposal - Since 1998 The Cockermouth, Keswick & Penrith Railways PLC (CKPR PLC) have been seeking support for their project of reopening the Keswick - Penrith section. The cost of rebuilding the line is estimated at £25m but half of this was to have been funded by the SRA as part of the Transport Plan and Cumbria County Council has indicated that it would be prepared to consider funding applications. Owners of the trackbed have been contacted and discussions held with the Lake District National Park Authority about the sections they own, including accommodating the Keswick Railway Path. The reopening is supported by the owners of Keswick station, Northern Trains and Virgin Trains. A change in policy means that Rail Property Ltd no longer propose to sell off Mosedale and Penruddock viaducts. Eden District Council appears to be against the reopening of the Keswick & Penrith Railway and are allowing development at Flusco Business Park to straddle the trackbed. Latest Setback - Despite receiving more than 60 objections, Eden District Council's Planning Committee granted Planning Permission for an industrial unit on the alignment of the Railway at Flusco. The application was made public in April 2009 and the decision was made on Thursday 16th July 2009. Officers recommended that Planning Permission for the Industrial Unit be granted and did not recommend any conditions regarding protection of the Railway trackbed - even though the Council has such policies. A popular train that ran in July and August in the 1950s and 60s was the John Peel Land Cruise; this was always a six car diesel unit when DMUs were still a bit of a novelty. It started from Blackpool, called at Morecambe and then ran non-stop via the Cumbrian Coast to Keswick where there was a three hour stop. The return leg was via the WCML; advance booking was essential.

Property is being used as 'cement money-boxes' by overseas investors, kept empty deliberately and inflating the property market. Refugees (in countries that recent British military action has helped to destabilise) need homes - morally, we should help more.

This would be the UK’s first ever purpose built centre for blind and partially sighted children, young people and their families. We aim to tackle poverty and exclusion by giving blind young people and their families a space where they can understand their condition, interact, forge friendships and learn new skills supported by RLSB’s professional staff team. As a diverse, historic and ambitious London borough, with innovative plans for the regeneration of Deptford, we believe that Lewisham would be an ideal location for the centre. With the support of the Lewisham MP's, local councillors and the Deptford community, we can make this a reality. Find out more at: http://www.rlsb.org.uk/seetheirfuture The Royal London Society for Blind People (RLSB) is the no.1 charity for blind young people. Our experts work with parents and families to make sure blind children and young people discover the skills and confidence they need to take control of their life and beat a lifetime of exclusion and poverty.

An application has been made by CTIL and Vodafone for a proposed 15 meter high mobile phone mast/beacon to be build on the corner of Roe Lane and Seabridge Lane. My objections are regarding the safety concerns and the positioning of this beacon. Concerns still remain about the safety of these structures. Regardless of various research reports, their is an acknowledgement that these masts do emit radiation. Ultimately this is something that concerns me as the mast is only a few meters away from Seabridge primary school. I’m also concerned for the families that live close to the proposed site. The area around the planned mast site includes the Seabridge Estate, Seabridge Lane and Roe Lane. You might have guessed – I’m one from one of those families. Aside from the health issues there is the matter of its positioning. I’m not a hypocrite, I like most people use modern mobile technology and understand that mobile phone networks expand. But this mast is being positioned in a way that its visual impact is being maximised rather than reduced. Unlike other masts locally, there is no attempt to hide it or position it in a way that would be more subtle. This mast is being place in a junction of two very busy, very built up areas. Not a hint of subtlety has been used here! In a nutshell, this is a bad location for this to be built. We understand that the signal coverage would be increased yes… but at what cost to the local area? Please help support the residents of this area. Many thanks, Mark

This will not be allowed in 2016 under new regulations . If this is passed now it will mean the erosion of Hampstead's heritage in a special part of London . It is also dangerous with regard to the shifting sands on which it will be built and the disturbance of numerous water courses which constitute the start of eg the River Westbourne . The original listed building will be defaced by the removal of a porch and the insertion in a different place of a new front door. It is also extrememy dangerous with regard to its neighbour Admirals House , a six storey listed building built in 1700 without foundations.
