Now that the Dual Carriageway has been completed we are experiencing an increased capacity in traffic volumes, this has therefore impacted on the Fiveways Roundabout at Barton Mills Mildenhall Suffolk. Residents of Mildenhall and other regular users of this Roundabout are seriously concerned about motorists safety due to the volumes of traffic that are now accessing the A11. There are several concerning issues surrounding this as follows:- A Traffic leaving Mildenhall queue excessively at peak times when approaching Fiveways Roundabout (this can tail back past The Hungry Horse Public House - Half Moon mini Roundabout) as motorists struggle to exit as the approaching traffic coming from Newmarket has increased dramatically and flows very fast B Traffic approaching from Thetford direction wishing to exit at Mildenhall Junction find the lanes are not easy to follow also the volumes wishing to continue in the Newmarket direction, plus the additional motorists that have managed to join from Mildenhall and Brandon Junctions, have increased and this is causing accidents to occur. C The addition of McDonalds and other retail units including a garage forecourt and car wash are only going to impact further around the Mildenhall Junction, when opened shortly, causing even more excessive pressure on this road and the Fiveways Roundabout, which in turn will probably cause even more accidents and congestion. D We have had concerns raised by local businesses and National Companies regarding time schedules due to current tail backs - this is only going to get worse at weekends during the summer months when holiday makers using this road will also make an impact causing further delays.. E The majority of people local to Fiveways Roundabout Barton Mills and other regular users have stated that they would like to see Traffic Lights at the Roundabout and or a Flyover, these improvements would ease traffic congestion and help accessibility for all motorists which in turn would reduce the risks of accidents happening by people taking "chances" on Fiveways Roundabout. F. There is also the issue with the joining onto the A11 heading Newmarket Direction from the Tuddenham Road Junction motorists are queuing and those that want to go to Barton Mills, who have to cross over the A11 are causing problems when tailback joins onto the fast lane of the A11 - this could cause a massive accident if someone approaching cannot switch lanes in time due to traffic volumes and an impact occurs this could in turn cause a concertina type impact and all queuing traffic could be affected this is causing concern already when traffic volumes are yet to increase in the summer months. These are the initial points that have been raised, obviously there will be impacts on the ambulance, fire, police, air ambulance services which could be minimized if improvements are carried out hopefully in the manner suggested. It is unreasonable to suggest, as has been made, that we will have to wait for volumes of traffic to increase further before traffic lights would be installed, thereby running the risks of loss of lives before something is done. The amount of money that would be needed to make these improvements should have been made available when the A11 was made a dual carriageway. To suggest that it will be considered when the traffic volumes increase is an insult to our intelligence, as surely this was whole point of the alterations to this road, and it will cost far more to do in five, ten, fifteen years and how many lives may have been lost in that time?

Woodside Copse is a precious wildlife sanctuary. Untouched for 50 years, it is home to many species of birds and animals. It adds to the biodiversity of the area and forms part of a vital green corridor. Designated a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, it is under threat following Haringey's decision on 6 July to allow the site to be developed. There is an alternative. The development could be put on the applicant's own site nearby, which would take up only a small portion of its site.

Hundreds of PATIENTS HAVE have been patient and tolerant awaiting long and hard for this new Purpose built Centre.Their hearts have been broken by the long delays and dragging of heels by the Scottish Borders Health Board.

Are you aware that the public toilets in the new Beeston transport Interchange are temporarily closed, and that Broxtowe Borough Council is reviewing the provision of public toilets in Eastwood, Stapleford, Kimberley, Broadgate and Beeston? One possible outcome of this review is that there may be no public toilets across the Borough as a means of saving money. Local residents, shoppers, travellers and visitors to the Borough, need access to appropriate public toilets in the right location and should not have to rely on private provision. The tram is bringing more people into the Borough and they need access to public toilets.

Ref. Planning Application 14/02004 Hybrid Amended. Planning consultation is under way for the Pye-Blenheim Consortium to build a huge housing development at the edge of Woodstock, Oxfordshire. This development would effectively double the size of this historic town through a single planning application! It would destroy this beautiful and historic market town, ruin the surrounding countryside and devastate the local community. Join us now by signing this petition to show your objection to this super-sized development. Say no to the Pye-Blenheim Consortium and say yes to preserving the beautiful town of Woodstock! For more information please see: www.savewoodstock.org

A temporary TPO was made on the 22 February 2015, and is only active for 6 months. After which time, the order is lifted or made permanent. One of the key elements in making this TPO permanent, is the support of not only local residents but visitors as well. The planned destruction of this beautiful stretch of trees and hedgerows is wrong because: - they act as a haven to local wildlife and flora. - they provide a significant contribution to the environmental quality and character of the area. - they enhance the enjoyment of both local residents & visitors alike. - their removal would have a significant, detrimental impact on the local environment and its enjoyment by the public. - Carbis Bay and the wider area of West Cornwall has scant tree cover as it is. Finally, perhaps most importantly, the trees and the hedgerows should be protected for their own sake

The catamaran Yoghurt was one of the first boats at Nine Elms Pier and was converted into a houseboat by owners Bill and Sue Dunster and their family in the 1980's. It has been a community hub as well as a loved home for many years. The tenants on Yoghurt are very active members of the community and believe in fostering its health for the well-being of all of those who live within it and in the wider Nine Elms area. In 2011 Yoghurt was granted a temporary 5 year mooring, it is due to expire in September 2016. We are asking Wandsworth Council to extend this mooring and allow Yoghurt to stay in it's current position on Nine Elms Pier. (*In addition to signing the petition we would greatly appreciate letters of support from you if you felt moved to write one. Please send them to [email protected] or if handwritten address to : Yoghurt, Nine Elms Pier, Tideway Walk, London, SW8 5PZ. We will present them along with this petition to Wandsworth Council.)

The A12 is one of London’s most congested and polluted highways. Not only is it a major contributor to ill health among local residents, but it cuts the community of Poplar in half, leaving families and businesses isolated. Cutting the speed limit will allow residents to cross the 6 lane carriageway safely and reduce noise and other pollution.

- The proposed pylons will be massively visually intrusive in what is one of the few beautiful, unspoiled parts of the UK left. - They will harm the environment and local wildlife. - They will be hugely damaging to the tourist sector in Dumfries and Galloway, a key driver of the local economy. - The pylon line will seriously affect house values and the ability to sell houses for miles around due to its size and visual impact. - Other alternatives, such as putting the line underground or under the sea, are available and could be adopted.

While it may make new homes fractionally cheaper to buy, they will be much more costly to run for both the home owners and the planet. How will we meet our green emissions targets with retrograde steps like this?

This petition has been launched by the Protect Frome Valley @ Stapleton Community Association, formed in February 2015 in direct response to a proposed development on green open space adjacent to Eastville Park Lake (see photo opposite) that enjoyed multiple protective designations in Bristol’s planning policies and yet was still extremely vulnerable to what we regard as a speculative and wholly inappropriate development proposal. Bristol needs more homes: we recognise and accept this. We also recognise that this will place increasing pressure on our much loved and used green open spaces. However, Bristol does not need to sacrifice these precious and finite resources in order to meet this need. In its report ‘From Wasted Space to Living Spaces’, the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) identifies that up to 30,000 homes could be built on brownfield sites in the Bristol area. The report, based on research conducted by the University of the West of England (UWE), highlights Bristol as one of the few local authorities already doing much in this regard but acknowledges that more needs to be done – both locally and nationally – to protect green open space from being lost forever. The report’s recommendations call for: A clear and consistent ‘brownfield first’ approach in planning policy Bringing back an effective strategic tier of sub-regional or county level planning Ensuring that strong strategic and local plans are encouraged, implemented and updated across the country Giving the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) greater powers and resources to redevelop large and difficult sites Developing a proactive approach to identifying brownfield land, with increased focus on regenerating large sites with multiple owners Reintroducing mandatory reporting to the National Land Use Database (NLUD) and make its data more accessible Providing assistance to smaller builders by identifying smaller sites and offering incentives for development such as the increased use of local development orders (LDOs) The full report can be found at http://bit.ly/cprerpt. We urge Bristol City Council to use the year of European Green Capital to adopt these recommendations so far as possible at City level, and in so doing develop Best Practice models as an example to other local authorities. As population densities increase, access to green open space becomes ever more important for our physical and mental wellbeing and for our beleaguered wildlife. We must make every effort to keep Bristol the wonderful place it is in which to live and work. If the legacy of our year of European Green Capital is to have any real meaning for the ordinary people of Bristol, it will lie in the quality of the Green Infrastructure that we hand on to the next generation. We urge you to support this petition. Please follow this link to the Bristol City Council e-petition site and sign the petition there , because if we reach 3,500 signatures on the BCC site, it will trigger a full council debate. http://bit.ly/bccpetn Thank You!

For years Glaswegians have had to live in the shadow of disastrous planning decisions, where beautiful relics from Glasgow's rich architectural heritage have been destroyed to be replaced by ugly concrete and metal buildings. The appearance of these buildings makes the whole environment of Glasgow appear depressing and has an adverse effect on how people interact with their city daily, if the city is charmless and ugly it is harder for Glaswegians to feel proud and motivated in their day to day lives. We need to learn from the mistakes made in the 70's I urge Glasgow City Council and NFU Mutual to not demolish this building and to find ways to retain the facade regardless of increasing costs, I urge Glasgow City Council to also not allow the demolition of any historical architecture in the city and for it all to be preserved for future generations. I urge all proud Glaswegians, proud Scots and lovers of Heritage and Architecture everywhere to please sign this petition. Let's not let Glasgow become an ugly soulless mistake of a city, which based on several recent planning decisions it sadly could become. Thank you
