• Stop Traffic Chaos in ‘Isle of Clogs’
    The Isle of Dogs have been plagued with repeated road, construction, utility and other works that have made the lives of residents, pedestrians, cyclists and the motorists very difficult, risky and unbearable - causing dangerous traffic conditions resulting in chaos, congestion and serious health and safety hazards. From the infamous shoe-protest in March 2016, when Docklands residents tied their 26 pairs of shoes to railings along Marsh Wall in the Isle of Dogs in a protest against traffic situation – things have not really improved. Unfortunately, despite requests to the Tower Hamlets Council and Mayor Biggs, the situation has failed to improve until something goes wrong and complaints are made or issue is highlighted in the media.

  • Make housing developers be transparent in Camden
    Current planning law states that if a developer will make less than 20% profit on a new development, they can ignore a council's regulations about building affordable and social housing. Leaked documents from several developers have shown that the maths they use to work out their profit margins are purposefully misleading, allowing them to claim they will make less than 20% profit on a development by undervaluing the prices of the houses they will sell and over-costing the labour. To combat this Islington, Greenwich, Lambeth and Bristol councils have introduced a policy that forces developers "viability assessments" to be made public. By bringing these dodgy maths into the public domain, Councils, campaigning groups and individuals will be able to hold developers to account and force them to use more honest maths. Resulting in more affordable and social housing for Camden.

  • SUPPORT Plans to Build Tynemouth Watch House Garden CYCLE HUB
    The CYCLE HUB will compliment our beautiful coastline whilst providing a 'stand-out' attraction for the many cyclists, tourists and general public whom already frequent the Spanish Battery. The development will assist with the enhancement and preservation of the Tynemouth conservation area and local heritage for generations to come. North Tyneside attracts approximately 5.8 million visitors each year who inject £279 Million into the local economy, supporting over 3500 jobs. This proposal will open a disused private garden into a considerate, visually low-impact CYCLE HUB that will only be visible from the southern aspect on the River Tyne. From the outset the building has been sensitively designed to ensure the iconic views to and from the Brigade Watch House remain unspoilt. The building will be sunk beneath a manicured lawn at the same level as the current garden. We have even gone as far as to store refuse bins below ground level. Two large car parks already exist to provide customers with parking. Additional spaces will be allocated for the sole use of the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigades response vehicles, whilst residents parking will remain untouched. Those living on the Battery will be un-effected by the building as the aim is to cater for passing trade that already exists. The vast majority of our intended customers will arrive by foot or cycle. Our vision is to provide Tynemouth with a gateway amenity that links to the National Cycle Network and provides a valuable facility for Tynemouth residents and the wider general public. The development will ensure a notable finishing point for those tackling the challenge of the Coast to Coast/Coast to Castles/Great North Bike Rides. In essence the Cycle Hub will establish Tynemouth as a key destination within the cycling community. A multitude of independent reporting commissioned by UK GOV indicates that development and investment in cycling infrastructure and sustainable transport provides the following: • Creates inward investment to an area. • Brings more jobs and positively effects the labour market, contractors and wider infrastructure/services. • Increases health of those in the area, with exercise in excess of Chief Medical Officers guidelines. • Boosts the local economy and business • Creates a modal shift in the well being of individuals. • Increases social inclusion and connectivity. • Makes better cities and neighbourhoods. • A reduction in Crime Rate. • An increase in rental and property prices. • Eases congestion. • Improves air quality. The North East of England is renowned for its warmth and hospitality, we look forward to providing a facility that welcomes one and all.

  • Save Hengrove Park from housing development
    Hengrove Park is the largest open recreational space in South Bristol, and an important resource used by the local community for sports and leisure activities. But Bristol Council wants to drastically reduce it in size by concreting over the majority it for housing - which will result in part of this precious resource being lost forever. The park is currently 76 hectares in size, but the proposed development of around 1700 houses would build on 45 hectares of it - reducing it in size by more than half. The green space left will be considerably smaller and fragmented, and a shadow of the current amenity. Parks must be protected for communities and future generations, and the Council needs to understand how passionately people feel about public assets being sacrificed for development. Local councillors recently blocked a move to build this increased number of houses, and the council's proposal is being referred to a special meeting on Monday March 27th 4pm at the Council House, College Green, Bristol, which could overturn their attempts to block the expanded development. They urgently need our support.

  • Install a pedestrian crossing on the A43 at Weldon Lakes Priors Hall Park
    There are no facilities (shops, Cafes or Doctors Surgeries) on Lake View PHP estate and none planned for the foreseeable future resulting in residents having to drive to Weldon to access vital services. Children also have to cross the busy A43 to catch the school buses and pedestrians risk life and limb keeping fit. This leaves communities isolated.

  • Give York Back to the Pedestrians
    York is a medieval city with narrow streets, ancient buildings and lots of tourists. Moving around parts of the city during the day can be difficult and dangerous, especially for those with limited mobility. There is constant traffic in parts of the city where there need not be, car users taking advantage of their privilege with no thought to the safety or rights of others. I believe that removing cars from York city centre would be beneficial to tourism, as it would make moving around the city easier. Additionally, heavy goods vehicles have done damage to a number of ancient buildings on Stonegate and Gillygate. Goods vehicles should be restricted to those of an appropriate size for the narrow nature of the streets in the ancient part of the city. The rights of a few car-users are currently trumping the rights of the majority of York residents. Polluting our air, crowding the city and causing danger to residents and tourists alike. Pedestrianisation will encourage the use of public transport and bicycles to access the city, thus improving the air quality in and around York and working towards a more sustainable future. Improving pedestrian and cycle access from residential areas to the city will further improve accessibility for those without the privilege of their own car. There are many ancient cities in Europe that are either partly or fully pedestrianised, without a significant impact on tourism or business. Make York an example to the rest of the United Kingdom for preserving the heritage of our ancient cities.

  • Protect Killearn Hotel (Black Bull)
    We need to protect local businesses in the area. If we do not, villages such as Killearn will become dormant areas in the suburbs of big cities. We need to attract young people to stay in the area by creating and maintaining businesses and jobs. There is massive opportunity - with the right investment - for this hotel to thrive. Killearn is situated in an outstandingly beautiful area. There is the most stunning Village Hall which is an extremely popular wedding venue. There is no doubt that it would be an even more popular venue if there was accommodation in the village. This is the only hotel and we are considering demolishing it! It would be incredibly sad for current and future generations.

  • Demolish Un-used Crown House Eyesore In Kidderminster
    Kidderminster has been the target of many jokes on T.V, the radio, in writing and on the grape vine but now, at last, a brilliant opportunity has come to finally redevelop our dying town to create an aesthetically pleasing environment in which local people and folk from far and wide can visit to enjoy a great shopping experience and contribute to the revenue for our town. However, it appears that the Wyre Forest District Council will not spend the money required to purchase and demolish the un-used Crown House building and have decided instead to develop around it which will leave this disgusting, green covered monstrosity overshadowing any chance our town has of a new start. This ugly un-used building (recently voted one of the worst buildings in the UK) is affecting real development opportunities in our town that in turn will benefit retailers, visitors and encourage new stores to open in our dying high street. Furthermore, this increase in much needed revenue will benefit the Wyre Forest District Council! There is nothing to think about here...lets stand up together and get this depressing building demolished for once and all to allow our wonderful little town to finally shine at last. Please, please vote now and help shape the present for a bright new future.
