A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet by-passHighways (England) are proposing to re-route this part of the A428 through the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside. As justification they say traffic will be speeded up by a few minutes at peak times. But building new roads just makes room for even more traffic. The only result is a continuous and permanent loss of England’s green and pleasant land. Please sign this petition and pass it on to your friends. And, more importantly, submit your objection to Highways public consultation. A sample objection is given below The consultation period ends on April 23rd. So this is urgent. Email your objection to [email protected] giving your full name and postal address. Sample Objection A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet proposal The proposed by-pass road is un-necessary. Improvements to the Black Cat roundabout (proposed in the Plan) and to the Caxton Gibbet roundabout (not included in the Plan) will speed up the travel time to a degree which makes a new road un-necessary. The argument for the new road is basically an economic one that eventually it will increase the UK gross domestic project (GDP). However the GDP per capita has remained fundamentally unchanged over the last 15 years despite the building of new roads and the widening of many others. Thus there is likely to be no economic gain. The loss of Cambridgeshire countryside will be permanent. It is just one further example of the constant erosion of our countryside heritage which is occurring throughout England. The value of this loss has not been weighed against any real economic gain or indeed against the perceived gains as seen by the proposers of this Plan Should Highways reject these arguments the Orange route is to be preferred.201 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Reginald Norgan

REBUILD ATHERTON SKATEPARKAtherton skatepark was recently demolished randomly and out of the blue with no notice or warning what so ever. It was important to each and every single person who uses or did use the skatepark or even anybody who wants to take up extreme sports. The skatepark was much loved by locals and people that are not so local, it kept so many young people out of trouble and off the streets doing something they love! The council have just took that away! PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION AND LETS GET ANOTHER FACILITY BUILT!1,476 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by James Higgins

Speed bumps prevent bumps and crossings prevent crisis.Because it will reduce accidents and could save life's my son was knocked down on this road thinking it was clear and it wasn't we were very lucky the driver was amazing and was driving under the speed limit otherwise we may not have our son now. However on a daily basis we have seen many other drivers speeding through the village. My son is the third child I know about who has been knocked down in this road and there has been many other accidents such as crashes on this road to. A crossing will encourage drivers to drive slower and reduce accidents and will stop people of all ages old and young from trying to estimate if the road is clear enough or they have long enough to get over before getting hurt. I know it will be expensive for the council but my child's life does not have a price to high for keeping him safe and I am sure yours doesn't either.167 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Emma Crabb

Temple Newsam Park - say NO to Go Ape!Temple Newsam Park is a free public park to be enjoyed by everyone. Should these plans go ahead, some areas of the park may be restricted, especially entry/exits to the equipment, the noise from participants will spoil the peaceful calm currently enjoyed. Parking is also an issue, especially at weekends - there just arent enough spaces to accommodate this - any new parking areas would mean taking more of the green available space of the park. Road access to the park will be put under further pressure. There is the issue of felling existing trees to make way for this, disturbance to the natural wild life and bird life living in the park. Temple Newsam is beautiful as it is, it does not need enhancing, please sign the petition in support.650 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Helen Fenton

Save the 200 year old Stag Pub in BatterseaWandsworth Council is allowing developers to push through planning for this historic building to be demolished before Special Protection for pubs in the borough is introduced in August. North Battersea is already going through extensive change, with excessive development taking place. The local community demands that adequate amenities and services are provided. Otherwise the area risks losing its appeal as a leafy suburb and will become nothing more than a high rise dormitory.73 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matt Valentine

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 CamdenCurrent 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.2,199 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Una, Rima and Graham

SUPPORT Plans to Build Tynemouth Watch House Garden CYCLE HUBThe 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.1,803 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Gareth Reece

Save Hengrove Park from housing developmentHengrove 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.438 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Damon Jones

Install a pedestrian crossing on the A43 at Weldon Lakes Priors Hall ParkThere 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.577 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Robert Riley
