• FINNS CROSSING - Pedestrian crossings in Steyning, West Sussex
    My 12 year old son Finn was involved in a car accident on Thursday 1st February 2018. It occurred at the junction of Church Street and Church Lane in Steyning. He was walking back from school at around 3.30pm, crossing the road with his best friend Jack and numerous other students, when a car clipped his left leg and ran over both of his feet. Church Street and Shooting Field are areas where the local Preschools, Primary school and both sites of the Grammar School are accessed. They are the local ‘school run’ roads. There have been numerous accidents and near misses in these areas over the years and there is nothing in place to help the pedestrians cross safely. After being personally affected, I feel it is my duty to draw attention to a much over looked issue before a more serious accident occurs.

  • KEEP MILLHOUSES PARK PUBLIC
    Millhouses park is a destination park for the whole of Sheffield and beyond. It is not the biggest park in Sheffield but it is a very popular park because people feel safe within its boundary. It is a much needed green space which serves Carter Knowle, Nether Edge and the whole Abbeydale corridor, the areas of Sheffield with the least provision of green and open space in the whole city, far less per head of population than Sheffield's declared aspirations. Having recently been deprived of even more open space in this area, it is crucial that there is no erosion of any public open space in this park.

  • Events Consultation for Glasgow Green
    Glasgow Green is in danger of suffering through over use. Locals, residents and those who use the Green have no obvious route to obtain information or to share concerns in relation to the 33 events due to occur in 2018. At present, the choice about whether to consult with the community lies with the few. The method by which views are collated are largely dictated by event organisers. Sign here if you think that consultation should be ongoing, meaningful and reflective of the collective needs of locals, residents and The Green alike. Thank you

  • Say NO to building on or near to Flood Plains!!!! In Hale Village & Halebank
    As everyone knows if flood plains are built on the water has to divert somewhere else usually with catastrophic results !!! We have seen this over the years where villages have been washed away, animals drowned and homes have been destroyed with flooding !! The Government have told all councils they must provide more homes and totally disregard the dangers and destruction of building on or near flood Plains! This is happening now in Hale Village and Halebank . The Government and Environmental Agency are NOT acknowledging flood plains in our area even though they actually flood!!! We must all fight this immediately before it happens in other areas !!! Please sign the petition telling the Government they can't do this !!!

  • Allow Dr Glen to open a branch surgery in Caldercruix
    Dr Glen has renewed her application to add Plains, Caldercruix and Hillend to her practice area and is hoping to achieve this by August 2018 with agreement from Lanarkshire NHS. The Primary Care Department of NHS Lanarkshire gave assurances in Caldercruix in January 2014 at a public meeting that there would continue to be GP services in Caldercruix at dedicated premises.The present service is well short of the assurances given to Alex Neil MSP in 2014 about a commitment to having a GP in the village. Assurances were also given to the Scottish Government that a GP would be in place in the village. The NHS is under pressure and Dr Glen is able to offer appointments in a permanent building with nursing and administrative support all ready to run for the benefit of local villages.

  • Stop demolition of Forestdale Arms to build a Take Away Drive Thru
    There are so many reasons to object to this but these are mine: 1. Traffic on the main road will be problematic as people queue for the Drive Thru. A good example of this is the establishment already operating in West Wickham where traffic congestion is a regular occurrence. 2. There looks to be insufficient parking on the plans. This will impact the surrounding area where parking is already at a premium. This includes the Forestdale centre which already needs parking management. 3. The impact on the area can only be detrimental. There will be increased noise, traffic congestion and of course litter. I also believe it will devalue the neighbouring properties. 4. Does Selsdon REALLY need another Fast food joint? There are already too many and this can only have a poor effect on health. Whatever happened to Croydon being a Heart town? In addition, the proximity to John Ruskin College and Forestdale Primary breaks the government guidelines regarding Fast food proximity to schools 5. Finally, this will result in the loss of the only pub on Forestdale. Aren't Croydon Council supposed to be committed to SAVING local pubs?

  • Traffic safety in Ynyshir
    We would all agree that the current situation regarding the speed of vehicles, the illegal parking on crossings and the lack of a safe crossing area for our children is both dangerous and unacceptable.

  • Keep Bristol's parks advertising free
    Our parks are important spaces for our physical and mental wellbeing; places where we go to play, relax, connect with nature and escape the pressures of modern life. We feel that introducing commercial advertising would undermine these emotional, psychological and health benefits – especially in areas where children play. The Council is accepting responses until Monday 29th January 2018. Let's tell them that we want to keep Bristol's parks ad free. To use the terminology in the Council's consultation, we "Strongly Disagree" with Proposal 2 (introducing ads to parks and green spaces). You can see the full consultation here: https://bristol.citizenspace.com/neighbourhoods/parks-and-green-spaces/

  • Install Pelican Crossings at dangerous junctions in Trafford
    These are busy, dangerous junctions with no way of crossing safely apart from dashing across the road. These crossings are particularly dangerous for children, the elderly and people with mobility issues. It's critical that the residents of Trafford are able to cross the road in the safety, knowing the traffic has stopped. There are currently no measures for crossing at these junctions and it's a case of dashing across and risking life when the other cars are turning into the road from the other-side of the junction.

  • Build the world's greenest venue on the site of the Earls Court Masterplan, London.
    Transport for London’s (TfL) commercial development wing formed a joint venture with Capital & Counties Properties PLC to redevelop the TfL-owned site of the now-demolished Earls Court Exhibition Centre, which forms a large part of the scheme known as the Earls Court Masterplan. Mayor Khan is Chair of Transport for London. Recent press reports range from an enhanced Earls Court Masterplan being brought forward to part of it being sold to a Saudi Arabian investment and property firm. This uncertainty over the future of the site does not help residents and businesses. The West Kensington and Gibbs Green housing estates are threatened with demolition as is the Lillie Bridge depot – all for luxury flats. The destruction of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre has led to the loss of 30% of London’s and 16% of the UK’s vital exhibition space and over £1bn annually to the local and national economy. Londoners were promised that "Earl’s Court will remain the location for a large convention centre or exhibition function" in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s 2015 Consolidated Local Plan. Instead permission was granted last year by the Royal Borough for a 644 sq m cultural venue, like a souped up Starbucks on the site of the iconic Exhibition Centre which was 40,000 sq m! There is no step-free access from the Earl's Court tube station to the development to help those with disabilities. There is no significant destination venue in the current Earls Court Masterplan. When the Earls Court Masterplan is revised, we ask that Mayor Khan supports building the world’s greenest venue which will generate overnight stays and support the night-time economy. Profits from the venue should be used to improve London's transport network and to benefit the common good.

  • Llanrug to Bethel cycle paths
    Currently there is no safe walk way between the 2 villages that share a secondary school. This hinders children from choosing to cycle to school which is just over a mile away. Also as the two villages have dwindling local service especially bethel more and more people are having to travel to Llanrug to use the local shops which is increasing the vehicles / Walkers/ cyclists using the very narrow connecting road.
