• Tell A E Yates to stop supplying fracking firm Cuadrilla
    The vast majority (84%) of people do not want fracking to happen. In June 2016 Lancashire County Council voted not to give planning permission to Cuadrilla after listening to local people's concerns about the effects of fracking on the water, air and soil. However, Cuadrilla appealed to the Secretary of State, who then overruled Lancashire. Work commenced at the fracking site on Preston New Road in January 2017. A E Yates have played a major role in supplying Caudrilla with workers, materials, plant and haulage. Without Yate's services, Cuadrilla will not be able to proceed so rapidly with fracking Lancashire

  • Safer city cycling. And towns too!
    This makes use of the paths that are already in place alongside most roads in towns and cities. Generally each road has two paths. For example the north to south path could be for pedestrians, the south to north for bicycles. More zebra crossings would be required to allow people to get to their side of the road. Side roads exiting onto main roads would need ’stop' signs rather than ’give way’ signs to ensure the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. The onus should be on the cars to stop as they are the ’stronger’ vehicles, can start and stop more readily and are the more dangerous in every sense. It would subtly shift the emphasis away from the cars dominion. Perceived danger deters people from cycling. From personal health to environmental issues, the fewer cars compared to pedestrians and cyclists there are the better. Why continue the way we are? There are so many issues to face, this is a small step in the right direction, it would not be costly to implement and could revolutionise the roads for us all. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/aug/04/fewer-cars-not-electric-cars-beat-air-pollution-says-top-uk-adviser-prof-frank-kelly The attached article, courtesy of Guardian News & Media Ltd, argues that we need less cars of all types (including electric) on the roads: “Prof Frank Kelly said that while electric vehicles emit no exhaust fumes, they still produce large amounts of tiny pollution particles from brake and tyre dust, for which the government already accepts there is no safe limit. …Toxic air causes 40,000 early deaths a year in the UK" Time for a change.

  • Close These Steps Before Someone is Killed
    In 2016 I slipped on a broken nosing on these steps and suffered multiple injuries and two bleeds on the brain. Many other people have slipped and fell on these steps. They should be closed repaired or replaced before someone dies.

  • PLANNING APPLICATION 17/0737
    It will have a knock on effect on a number of organisations and churches with the area. The site has always been a commercial one and houses two churches, a nursery and and a restaurant to now have residential properties will mean that the current organisations will be affected and it will cause congestion to the existing road system in the area.

  • Demolition of Derelict South Kirkby Recreation Ground Toilet Block
    The derelict building has been condemned as unsafe. please demolish it and either replace with new toilets and a proper bus stop, or just leave it as an open space to gain access to the park. It is currently a hangout for antisocial behaviour and gathers youths and drunkards alike with litter around the building markedly increased.

  • New Skatepark in Milton Keynes
    Skateparks provide a safe designate environment for people both young and old to ride. Further more they keep the youth away from open landscape architecture which then becomes damaged due to the lack of skateparks and skate spaces for them to use as it becomes the secondary place of use. To follow this it keeps the users of skateparks (bikers, roller bladers, kids on scooters) away from others places such as Costco and the Blum building where they use ledges and other areas such as underpasses as a unsafe way of practising based on the lack of space and early skatepark closing times. Asides from the fact it benefits the users, it also benfits Milton Keynes as a whole, other than our large shopping centre which attracts thousands of people each day, lots of people visit MK for the skateparks and will travel to try them out for a day, e.g the BUSZY is actually a famous park across the country as a street spot, having these parks draw in a niche group of people who come to Mk for the day, spend there money in shops whilst they ride and then return in the future, we believe having these skateparks is one of the many desirable things that keep Milton Keynes a desired place to live for the youth as there's many places that don't have the luxury of the parks that we have, and then some others that are benefited with much more. We as the community doing this petition would also ask that if this goes to plan and we are able to renovate one of these parks or build another, that we could get involved in the design, there are many of us that are good with this and some studying architectural courses and would love to get involved, as we believe we could create a more safe and fun environment for us to use. This would also then remove the problem that we currently have where particular members of the community try to create there own DIY parks within our skateparks. We hope this is something you see valuable to the community as without these parks we are left with the streets which we believe is both a safety hazard for those riding, as well as a problem as it ruins so much of the beautiful architecture we have here in MK, so keeping, improving or even making new parks can resolve these issues.

  • Support for Scarborough Rail Bridge Improvements
    City of York Council with Network Rail have put forward proposals to enhance access across Scarborough Rail Bridge by modifying the pedestrian/cycle bridge to allow step-free access at each side and making the bridge wider (from 1.3m to 3.6 metres). The bridge is already a popular crossing for pedestrians/cyclists but is inaccessible to those with mobility issues, pushchairs that are too heavy to lift up the steep steeps and those who are physically unable to carry their bicycles up/down the steps. The proposals will allow easier crossing of the bridge on this popular route without having to resort to crossing at Lendal Bridge which is heavily congested with motor traffic and has narrow footpaths. More details and a plan can be found on the Council's website: https://www.york.gov.uk/downloads/file/13458/proposed_new_bridge_plan & https://www.york.gov.uk/scarboroughbridge Plans will also be on show in York Station foyer between 1pm and 6pm on Wednesday the 12th July, and between 8am and 1pm on Thursday the 13th July. This phase of the consultation process on Friday the 28th of July.

  • Make housing developers be transparent in Brighton and Hove
    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.

  • Pedestrian lights for Green Lanes / Bourne Hill road junction
    On the edge of the high street, surrounded by nurseries and schools, this is a lethal crossing for pedestrians. No signal, nor enough time is given as to when to cross and one Is forced to wait on a central reservation ( too narrow for a pram) as cars hurtle by. If we are to encourage healthy lifestyles, vibrant high streets and community links, we must be able to reach each other and our facilities safely. Please demand safe crossing for our kids, our families
