Use cycle training to teach road safety to all new driversThis would enable new drivers to understand the benefits and vulnerabilities of being on a bicycle, improving road safety for everyone. It would also improve the skills and awareness of those adults most likely to cycle on urban roads at peak times. Thirdly, it would enable many more people to experience cycling as an adult and encourage them to see the opportunities it presents for clean, cheap and easy transport.124 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Steve Walker

Stop the closure of toilets in Clacton, Jaywick and WaltonClacton, Walton and Jaywick are popular holiday destinations, the area is trying to attract more holidaymakers, how can we expect them to come to the beaches if there are no toilets to use? This is especially important for people with young children, the elderly and the disabled. Tendring also has a large population of elderly and vulnerable people, who may have a problem with incontinence or mobility, they should be able to have easy access to toilets when they need them. Not being able to reach a toilet in time results in loss of dignity and distress, whatever your age, the closure of toilets that are vital for residents and holidaymakers is not acceptable.1,154 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Sheila Hammond

Save Reading Central Club!Reading Borough Council are threatening to knock down the Central Mural and sell the building to commercial developers. The Mural is an important both as a piece of Art and as a memorial to the lives of people significant in African, Afro-American, Caribbean and black British History. It reminds us (accurately) that some pharaohs were black. (If it is ever extended in size it could now usefully add a major Russian Novelist and an American President!). It would be a huge loss to us if we lose it and an insult to the many Reading Residents from Barbados, Jamaica, East and West Africa and elsewhere. Personally I am scots of Irish and English descent and I love that mural621 of 800 SignaturesCreated by John Roy

CYCLE ROUTE ON HAMPSTEAD HEATH FROM KENWOOD TO THE LADIES' PONDDaily pond swimmers like me, who are being fined and taken to court for riding to the Ponds on No Cycling lanes, are being victimised. I have already been fined £500.00 after 2 court hearings. I'm nearly 70 and can ride far more easily than I can walk. My bike is like a disability scooter, only healthier! There seems to be a prejudice against cyclists on the Heath in favour of dogs. Many dog walkers walk as many as 10 dogs at a time and yet they seem to have the lobby which deprives cyclists of the right to ride on the Heath. Routes running North to South are particularly scarce and do not serve cyclists in the Highgate, Golders Green and East Finchley areas nor those coming up from Kentish Town, Gospel Oak and Parliament Hill. Surely we are kinder to the environment than cars on Merton and Millfield Lanes!53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barbara Massey

Better cycle storage for CanonburyThere are currently no secure cycle storage facilities in Canonbury, despite huge numbers of cyclists in the area. Bikehangars aren't expensive, only take up half a car parking space, and each provides secure, covered storage for six bicycles. For every one car space, 12 cyclists could be provided with storage. A recent consultation on the placement of additonal bikehangars in Islington led to plans for 18 new bikehangars, but all are in the north of the borough, with a third of them placed across 4 adjoining streets in Upper Holloway. The nearest proposed bikehangar to the Essex Road area is a mile away. Islington prides itself on being a green borough and supporting cyclists benefits everyone - reducing traffic, noise and pollution and encouraging healthy lifestyles. The Council needs to represent the interests of residents in all areas of the borough, not just the north section. As more people cycle, the borough will become cleaner, greener and healthier. With better cycle storage, everyone benefits!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emily Waller

We need a bridge with pedestrian lifts at Abergavenny StationThis station is on the mainline route from Swansea/Cardiff to Manchester and Holyhead, and serves a huge area of Monmouthshire and South Powys, the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains as well as the town of Abergavenny. There are 2 ways to reach the far platform at Abergavenny. One is by a steep footbridge which has 45 steps and is difficult to negotiate, especially in bad weather. The other is to cross the line, accompanied by a member of staff. If you wish to do the latter, then you are expected to phone to notify your request to travel at least 24 hours beforehand. If you wish to travel out of office hours, there will be no members of staff at the station and you are dependent on the guard or the driver of the arriving train to accompany you across the line. So much for spontaneity of travel for many people! We want a bridge with passenger lifts to give full access for disabled passengers, older people and those with heavy luggage. 30% of the population in Monmouthshire is over 60. We were granted the money and planning permission for the bridge about 5 years ago. It never happened because Network Rail could not work out what to do about the position of the signal because the driver’s view of it would be blocked by the new bridge. We demand that Network Rail solve this problem, find the resources and, either replace or resite the signal in order that work on a bridge and lifts can commence. This is not just important to local people; Abergavenny station is used by visitors to major events such as The Food Festival and the Green Man Festival, the Hay Festival, and the 2016 National Eisteddfod. All these events bring visitors and revenue into the area. If you believe, like the organisers of this petition, that this situation is not good enough and that there should be equal access for all at the station, please sign this petition.1,118 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Abergavenny Rail Access Campaign

Morfa Bychan Access - Byway open to all TrafficAlthough many people prefer to walk the mile long byway others are unable to, disabled access to this public amenity must be re instated. Others affected include families with young children, fishermen, climbers, canoeists, in fact as there is no public parking on the road just about anyone who would like to visit.574 of 600 SignaturesCreated by John Wright

Improve bus times for workers!So many people rely on the bus service to get them to and from work. First bus york dont take into consideration the staff that start as early as 7:00am. The number 7 McArthurglen route is one of the busiest park and ride services there is so they would be silly not to put extra busses on. The number 9 and 3 service runs as early as 6:00am and 6:30am so why can't the number 7 route?9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sammi Hardy

Save Bradbourne Lakes from neglectThe park was once a beautiful spot but it is in danger of becoming a silty swamp. The more run-down it gets, the worse people treat it, despite the efforts of the community and supporters within the SDC. Paths aren't repaired, which has rendered one part of the park inaccessible to lesser abled people and dead and dying trees, overhang the lakes. Leaves are not cleared up, apart from by the local community, which causes flooding onto the paths in autumn and winter and stops locals using the amenities. The park is a space that should be restored for all to enjoy, not left to decay.807 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Nathan King

No Tesco at Whitton/London Road TwickenhamTwickenham High Street has a high turnover of shops, and the dreaded 'Twickenham Refurbishment' sees many small independent shops constantly close down. Another Tesco is not required on the parade killing the few small independent shops that are already established at that end of the high street. What is needed in Twickenham is variety of shops to bring a higher social impact to the community and more people to the high street. This is not a good location for a Tesco which will have an adverse affect on traffic and noise for local residential neighbours. Numerous alternatives exist that would better serve the local community and strengthen its economy in these tough financial times. There are already 5 other Tesco's within a short distance of the proposed location. When the planning application is received, planning officers must notify the public or neighbours, and consult with other council departments and any other affected people or organisations. The statutory consultation period is three weeks. I will post the link here when the application has been added to the online planning portal. If there are issues of concern, the planning department will instigate a review meeting within six weeks of registration of the application and identify amendments that could address any issue or problems.238 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Alex Powell
