South Yorkshire traffic is in crisis: we need a better bus service to encourage people out of their cars. Traffic pollution causes diseases and early death.

To allow daily movement for the individual, business, visitors, all people who wish to access Argyll and Bute via the A83

I know several individuals have had problems with their disabled blue badge parking, they have been having parking tickets come through in the post to them and they do not know why. There is no signs on any of the carparks I have parked in to say that it has changed but the tickets have been coming through to them state that it is a different company that has took over all of the carparks and they are now making disabled people pay! (The fine is between £60 - £100) The company that has changed the parking they are now called NCP and they have not told blue badge users about that change of parking restrictions or even on NCP‘s website it doesn’t even state that they have updated their records for blue badge holders .When you would normally get a parking ticket the ticket is placed on the windscreen of the vehicle in this case they are sending the tickets through the post. One of the people I know has had a parking ticket and it took three weeks to get through the post to them so they didn’t even know they had a ticket, they are sure they have more tickets on the way as they use this car park weekly . We spoke to council near where we live and they had told us that the process had only been in for about two months which is definitely not true. This is an absolutely outrageous thing to do to disabled vulnerable people, they should stop and think what they are doing to us and rethink a new strategy. We pay for our blue badges so what is the point in us paying for parking as well as paying for a blue badge. Its just another way of getting more money out of us vulnerable people. We have already contacted a certain MP and he said he is going to work on this case as much as he can also the media are involved, once they had written a story I will attach. The news paper article link is below https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/disabled-and-elderly-drivers-hit-with-thousands-worth-of-fines-at-northampton-car-park-unaware-there-were-new-charges-1-8664286

Transpennine Express has introduced a ban on cycles without reservations in advance of the scheduled introduction of new rolling stock in May 2019, even if there are spaces. This is unnecessary and causes stress for people wishing to travel with their cycle and for train staff implementing the ban. It also reduces Transpenine Express income as people will have reduced train bike journey options.

Grantown Initiative and Grantown-on-Spey and Vicinity Community Council recently wrote to The Highland Council regarding the changes to parking arrangements in Grantown-on-Spey which appear to have been made without due consultation with community organisations or consideration for businesses in Grantown-on-Spey. We believe that changes made to the parking arrangements in Grantown-on-Spey have resulted in a dangerous situation for drivers and pedestrians, are potentially damaging to businesses in the town and generally make the Square far less attractive to visitors. Meanwhile Highland Council has failed to provide adequate additional parking in spite of the fact that it holds land at the former council depot which could be used for such. A review of these newly made parking restrictions and a meeting to discuss was requested by both groups. Whilst we support the principle of Highland Council taking civil enforcement powers in respect of parking in Grantown, we must object to the implementation of this draft Order. We feel that that the Parking Scheme recently introduced in Grantown, over which Highland Council appears to be seeking these powers, is not fit for purpose. Not only does it raise serious safety concerns but it has removed essential parking bays around the Square and along the High Street. Not having had the opportunity to discuss the recently introduced parking scheme, Grantown Initiative now requests that The Highland Council takes immediate steps to rectify these issues enact sensible parking restrictions in Grantown-on-Spey. Specifically we request the following changes; • The removal of the parking bay(s) opposite the Co-Operative which have added to congestion around the busy High street / Seafield Avenue junction and have created a hazardous situation for pedestrians and motorists alike. • Removal of the chicane style parking bays along the length of the square which creates congestion, particularly around the Bus Stops where busses cannot properly access the stops due to parked cars. We would suggest that spaces be realigned to allow easier access for buses and freer flowing traffic and reduce unnecessary congestion. • Removal of the new double yellow lines, which have robbed the square of 20 parking places. • The creation of a new off street parking facility to provide sufficient parking for the town as a whole. This could be provided at the site of the old council yard adjacent to Grantown Primary. This could also be used to provide a safe drop off area for the school. • Provide an opportunity for the community to have a say in parking restrictions in Grantown-on-Spey

The safety of our children and families is at the forefront of this petition. Providing an off road drop off zone will provide children with a safe passage to School. It will alleviate the current pressure on the surrounding streets, which currently results in dangerous parking and frustration for parents, drivers and local residents.

I have a lung condition as do other members of my family and for this reason air quality is one that it close to my heart. I am most worried about the effects of the dirty air caused by traffic on my son and granddaughter who have severe asthma. Air pollution is a public health crisis, with illegal and harmful levels of air pollution across Greater Manchester. We need national and local government to act to clean up our air and make our towns and cities a healthier place to live for everyone but especially for babies and children. Air pollution affects us all, from when we are in the womb through to old age. It is linked to premature births and can stunt lung growth in children. Air pollution can trigger heart attacks and strokes, worsens asthma attacks and causes lung cancer. Babies, children and older people are more vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution. We need the all the Councils, across Manchester, with the support of national government, to take urgent action to clean up our air to protect the health of children and babies. Please support me and sign this petition!

We the signatories to this petition are increasingly concerned about the volume and speed of road traffic through Wolvercote. In particular, it is increasing the risk of a serious accident involving residents, pedestrians and schoolchildren walking or cycling to school. The frustration of some drivers to exceed the 20mph speed limit is further linked to trying to catch or beat the Godstow road traffic lights or avoid the traffic jams on the A34.

Worthy Road is the only major road coming into Winchester with no pedestrian crossing. 2000 children are killed or seriously injured on UK roads each year. It's time for Hampshire County Council to do something. The Hampshire Local Transport Plan highlights the need for investment in walking, but without a pedestrian crossing residents are much less likely to walk into the town centre. Many residents in Abbotts Barton are elderly and find crossing such a busy road daunting and dangerous , this leads to feelings of isolation within our community for some of our most vulnerable residents. Young families in this area also struggle with crossing this dangerous road. At school time many families are left waiting for long periods to cross which is a safety concern when the traffic is so fast. There are also many disabled people in Abbott's Barton who are unable to get into town independently because of the lack of a safe crossing place and that is simply wrong. A pedestrian crossing would encourage residents to be more active, and enable much greater independence. Residents have been campaigning about this issue for more than five years. Why do we need to wait for an accident to happen for something to be done? A crossing is needed, it's time to act.

This bus is used by many people in the local community to keep their independence. Elderly, disabled people and school children use this bus on a regular basis and for some it is a way of keeping their independence. The nearest bus stop is not accessible.

It's time that Glasgow Subway operates longer on Sundays rather then the short time of 10:00 - 18:00. This will be of huge benefit as more people are out on Sunday's and many other major cities in the UK including London Underground still have the system running till almost midnight on a Sunday so why should it that people have to rush from their shopping at Buchanan Street or St Enoch to catch the last train at 6pm on a Sunday otherwise having to resort to getting a bus which also has reduced frequency or spending a lot of money on a taxi instead. Its time for Glasgow Subway to get ahead of it's time with the current modernisation program and extend the time on Sunday so that people can spend a little more time in the town on Sundays

Arrival Rail London and Transport for London have recently launched a public consultation on their regressive plans to close 51 ticket offices on the London Overground Network. http://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/news/view?id=715&x[0]=news/list (Consultation closing date 11th October) Staffed ticket offices are vital on our rail network as ticket vending machines simply do not offer the range of tickets many passengers need, often overcharging people in the process: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ticket-machines-still-ripping-off-rail-passengers-says-watchdog-3vgjcllbf Passengers at unstaffed stations also face regular delays to buy tickets as there are rarely enough ticket vending machines to meet demand at peak times. Station staff in ticket offices also regularly provide a point of human contact for passengers improving safety and enabling disabled passengers to travel with confidence. Proposed ticket offices to be closed are: Acton Central, Anerley, Brondesbury, Brondesbury Park, Bruce Grove, Bush Hill Park, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, Camden Road, Canonbury, Carpenders Park, Clapton, Dalston Kingsland, Dalston Junction, Finchley Road & Frognal, Gospel Oak, Hackney Central, Hackney Downs, Hackney Wick, Haggerston, Hampstead Heath, Hatch End, Headstone Lane, Homerton, Honor Oak Park, Hoxton, Imperial Wharf, Kensal Rise, Kensington (Olympia), Kentish Town West, Kilburn High Road, Penge West, Rectory Road, Rotherhithe, Shadwell, Shepherds Bush, Shoreditch High Street, Silver Street, South Acton, South Hampstead, Southbury, St James Street, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Surrey Quays, Theobalds Grove, Turkey Street, Wapping, Watford High Street, West Hampstead, White Hart Lane and Wood Street. Please sign this petition and help us keep London Overground's Ticket Offices open.
