Stop proposed parking permits in Bournemouth and PooleMany locals, holidaymakers and tourists fill up all the remaining car parks very quickly as soon as the sun comes out. This then results in many parking illegally, one roundabouts, double yellow lines, junctions, pavements and anywhere they can fit their vehicle. The cost of parking in Bournemouth can be expensive anyway so many risk parking on verges etc. as the fine will be £35 if paid within 30 days. This is not a deterrent at all and adding permits for all local residents will just add to the cost of living crisis we are all being affected by.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Lickman

Implement 20mph Speed Limits Throughout Aboyne and DinnetAs a resident of the Aboyne and Dinnet community, I care deeply about the safety and wellbeing of our residents, especially our children and other vulnerable road users. Every day, I witness vehicles speeding through our town, creating unsafe conditions that deter families and locals from engaging in walking or cycling. It's time to take necessary action to make our streets safer and our community more active. According to the UK's Department for Transport, reducing the speed limit to 20mph can significantly decrease the likelihood and severity of accidents. In areas where such measures have been adopted, there has been a notable reduction in road casualties. This is a proven strategy to enhance road safety and promote active travel among community members. An adjustment to a 20mph limit would not only improve safety, but also encourage more people to choose walking or cycling. This shift towards active travel can contribute to a healthier lifestyle, reduce traffic congestion, and decrease pollution levels, resulting in a cleaner, safer environment for everyone. It is crucial for Aberdeenshire Council to recognise the importance of implementing this strategy across the whole of Aboyne and Dinnet for the benefit of the entire community. By taking a proactive stance on road safety, we can create a more welcoming and secure environment in Aboyne and Dinnet. Please sign this petition to urge Aberdeenshire Council to adopt these necessary speed limit changes. Together, we can make our roads safer and our community stronger. Thank you for your support!15 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Aboyne Speedcheck

POOR ROAD QUALITY = Car Damage, Decrease In Transport For Goods, Reduced Quality Of LivingI need you to join so I can get support for when I bring it to government. Your help and your signature would improve it massively and would give me solid proof of the scale of your concern on road quality. Once government see this, road quality improvement could be possible. In Citizenship at school we are trying to make a change somewhere in the world. I need you to sign my petition to help me bring my matter forward. I am aiming for at least 10,000 signatures to get this matter into Parliament.9 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dion Woolgar

Get Ladysbridge Railway cottages a 20mph zoneWe are deeply concerned that this residential area, currently subject to the national speed limit of 60mph, has been excluded from the initiative—despite lacking pavement provision and being home to families, children, and elderly individuals. In contrast, we note that the Inverboyndie Industrial Estate, which contains no residential properties and is also in a 60mph zone, has been selected for a 20mph limit. This disparity is both unfair and unsafe. We believe our road clearly meets the intention of the national strategy to protect communities with higher footfall and residential activity.80 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brian Wilkie

Improved Road Safety measures around Chyngton Primary SchoolChyngton Primary School has grown significantly over the decades and now has a roll of nearly 400 pupils. Over the same period the number of children being driven to school has also risen dramatically according to government figures. As a result, the residential roads around the school have become increasingly congested and dangerous at school drop-off and pick-up times. Existing safety provisions such as zig-zag lines and the voluntary one-way system are difficult to enforce and ineffective. Children are at risk crossing the roads near the school, this means fewer children are walking to school, and more come by car, even for short journeys, exacerbating the problem. Access for emergency vehicles is severely impeded, and local residents frequently have access and driveways blocked by inconsiderate parking. More needs to be done to keep the children, parents and public safe around Chyngton school.124 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Becky Francomb

Make Dalreoch Railway Station in Scotland Accessible with a Footbridge & Lifts SystemIt is important for those with disabilities, and those who cannot access Platform 2. It is important because people should care about those with major disabilities and those who care about a 21st century station.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Bowman

Make Dullar Lane Safe Again!This route is very popular with cyclists as it is practically the only viable way to cycle between the wider Wimborne area and Purbeck. Around 23,000 motor vehicles traverse the A31 at this location every day. It's arguably even more dangerous for motorists as occupying a car or van places the driver’s head an extra 6-8 feet behind the Give Way lines restricting visibility even further. Indeed the majority of near misses I’ve witnessed at this location involve drivers on Dullar Lane attempting to cross or join the A31.129 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Alexander Guiver

Restore bus connections between Upper Tean, Blythe Bridge and LongtonThe construction of over 150 houses currently ongoing across the village would mean yet another increase in the number of people residing here. Therefore, I believe the current transport available to residents of Upper Tean is unsustainable. At present, the 6A runs every 30 minutes from Blythe Bridge to Hanley via Meir Park, Meir, Longton and onwards to Hanley. I am not proposing that all services terminate in Upper Tean, but one in two would still make a difference amongst all demographics and bus users in the village. Blythe Bridge is home to the other local Doctor’s surgery in our practice of Tean and Blythe Bridge. It is also home to the closest train station to our village and direct connectivity with Blythe Bridge will mean shorter journey times into Stoke by train. Beyond Blythe Bridge is Meir Park where many of the villagers shop for groceries, then Meir, home to the Meir Primary Care Centre - a vital NHS service for residents of the whole constituency and a centre in which residents in Tean require to visit frequently for blood tests, district nurses and vaccinations amongst others. Connection along the 6A would also be beneficial due to the bus route passing through Longton. Here, along with Hanley are the remaining branches of banks, which have moved out of towns such as Cheadle. The extension of the 6A every hour to Tean would mean an alternative route to Hanley too and a direct route to the busy Victoria road home to many retailers large and small. I appreciate this is ambitious but the benefits to the residents of Tean would be excellent and get more people using bus services to the areas they currently have to use cars and taxis to get to.459 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Thomas David Barnes

Tackle the safety issues caused by "rat-running" along Furber Road.The road is too narrow for the amount of traffic using it now. Since major roadworks at the Bryants Hill/Kingsway junction, we have had articulated lorries getting stuck in the residential lane that is Furber Road136 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Fabian Breckels

Reduce noise pollution from the Victoria LineThe noise pollution is affecting the lives of those who live in properties above or close to the tunnels. The noise - which has become significantly louder recently - takes away many of the usual comforts expected of a home, interrupts sleep and makes the house an unwelcome place to be. The very high frequency of the Victoria Line only compounds these problems.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by James Bran

20's Plenty for WellingtonLowering the speed limit provides significant benefits to all road users, including • Reduced severity of collisions • Reduced frequency of collisions • Increased cycling and walking confidence Slower speeds save lives, particularly where the road is shared with people walking, cycling or riding a motorbike. A person walking is up to five times more likely to be killed if hit by a vehicle travelling at 30mph than if they were hit at 20mph. To support more people to walk and cycle around Wellington, we must reduce the risk of death and serious injury. Lowering traffic speeds can also make our streets less polluted and safer places to walk and cycle. See more information on 20mph speed limits. This campaign is being supported by The Big House Co.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tom Fox

Requesting an urgent review of the Carholme Community Travel Zone in LincolnThere are numerous travel challenges in Carholme Ward, which was last reviewed by LCC Highways two decades ago. There are issues with safe walking and cycling, especially for children going to/from school on foot or by bike. The 20mph area has increasing traffic levels, with many vehicles using the area as a cut-through between Yarborough Road and Carholme Road, regularly ignoring existing one-way streets. Parking is problematic for residents and visitors to the area. The area could benefit from a review of active travel opportunities and an assessment of how road markings could be improved to increase safety.380 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jon Davies
