Put seatbelts on all public transport busesTo make all Buses and coaches how seatbelts and have to wear them by law. On every Bus and coach on the roads it should be law that everyone on them should wear seat belts. They go just as fast as cars and they are the law that you have to wear seat belts so why not buses and coaches? If you are in a bus then the bus driver and passengers should all have to wear seat belts up and down the country as this will stop a lot of bus and coach related deaths on the road.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Peter Bishop

Tyne Tunnel FinesIf you want an ethical system in place for the Tyne Tunnel and wish to ensure penalty charges are not being used to harm ordinary working class individuals and families then get on board. The change in how the Tyne Tunnel operates has caused chaos for road users with many being stung with fines that they did not deserve. This entire system needs to be reviewed and it is the TT2 Limited company that is responsible for deciding it's penalty charge policies.21,702 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Gary Spedding

Lets Challenge Petrol price rises today!!Petrol prices are at a record high The cost of petrol has hit a record high in the UK, as pump prices continue to rise since the beginning of January 2021. The news comes from the RAC Fuel Watch, from data collected across the country, including wholesale, retail and supermarket pump prices. The average price of unleaded is 142.9p per litre and diesel is 146.5p. These rises have not been caused by recent fuel shortages, but they won't have helped. They hit the average driver hard – the price of unleaded has increased by 28p a litre since October 2020, adding £15 to the cost of filling up a 55-litre family car, The price of crude oil is currently $86.09 a barrel, following on from a rise last week, and is closing in on record highs of more than $120 in 2012. The upshot is that if crude oil rises to those levels, they will be reflected in even higher prices, causing more pain for drivers who are already seeing their budgets stretched. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: 'This is truly a dark day for drivers, and one which we hoped we wouldn't see again after the high prices of April 2012. This will hurt many household budgets and no doubt have knock-on implications for the wider economy.' He continued: 'Even though many people aren't driving quite as much as they have in the past due to the pandemic, drivers tell us they are more reliant on their cars now than they have been in years, and many simply don't have a choice but to drive. There's a risk those on lower incomes who have to drive to work will seriously struggle to find the extra money for the petrol they so badly need.' What this means for you The last time we had high fuel prices like this, government or market intervention saw resulted in them dropping sharply after sustained growth. However in this case, the situation is unlikely to improve soon, as the cost of crude oil is set to continue going up until at least the end of 2021. In the UK, government-levied taxes make up 57% of the average retail price for a litre of petrol, according to the RAC, and the prospect of the government dropping fuel duty looks remote. What this means for you is that you're going to be facing increased fuel bills in the short-to-medium term. Driving more economically will alleviate the pain somewhat, or if you're looking to change your car, look more closely at the fuel consumption figures – or even consider switching to an electric car, which are cheaper for running costs in terms of Miles Per Pound. However bare in mind those electric cars will only be adding on to the cost of your home supply?3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by graham nicholson

20 MPH SPEED LIMIT IN LEEK TOWN CENTREWhen Leek town centre had a roundabout and less traffic lights, vehicles were not rushing and speeding so much and there were less accidents, fatalities and pollution caused by traffic light stops and starts. 20 mph speed limit will help shops survive and help our main industry, Tourism. Everyone should feel safe in their home town centre be it in Leek or any where else.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Roger Warrillow

Extend the Santander cycle hire scheme to Herne HillThere are a number of reasons why it’s a great idea to extend the Santander cycle hire scheme to Herne Hill. 1. It meets a transport need Herne Hill is an area of south London with limited access to the TfL transport network. We do not have a local Underground station (the nearest one is Brixton) or a TfL Overground station (the nearest one is Denmark Hill). The local bus routes are often crowded and the main roads are heavily congested with traffic. Extending the cycle hire scheme to Herne Hill would provide a key link to the Underground network, as people could cycle to Brixton where there is already a docking station and jump on the tube. If they are feeling energetic there is also the option to cycle into central London. 2. It will draw people to the area Having a docking station (or a few docking stations) in Herne Hill would improve the local economy as people could cycle here from Brixton. This makes Herne Hill more accessible to people who live in other parts of London, who would travel to Brixton by tube but might not take the extra 30 minute walk or crowded bus journey on to Herne Hill. We have some wonderful attractions here: Brockwell Lido, Herne Hill Velodrome and the Sunday Market, as well as five shopping parades with a wide range of independent shops and businesses. Extending the cycle hire scheme would make our high streets more accessible and help them to thrive. 3. The bikes will be well used One of TfL’s main requirements when deciding where to extend the cycle hire scheme, is they want to put it in places where it will be well used. People are more likely to borrow bikes where there are pleasant and safe routes to cycle them. The busiest docking stations are those around Hyde Park where people borrow a bike to cycle around the park. There are a lot of green spaces in and around Herne Hill which offer pleasant and enjoyable environments for cycling. Brockwell Park sits right in the centre of Herne Hill and is lovely to cycle around. Belair and Dulwich Parks are nearby, and can be accessed via the new segregated cycle lane on Rosendale Road, and Turney Road, which is also relatively quiet. The cycle route to/from Brixton is via Railton Road and the recent installation of a Low Traffic Neighbourhood there has seen an upsurge in active travel. 4. It will engage new cyclists We already have some good local cycle routes (as mentioned above), a number of local parks, and a Velodrome. However, it is impossible to use these cycling resources if you do not have access to a bike. Many people in Herne Hill live in flats, shared houses or small homes, and do not have space to store a bike. Others might be able to make space for a bike but need to try it out first before committing to buy their own. Extending the cycle hire to Herne Hill would improve the opportunities for people who cannot store their own bike to make cycling part of their commute, enjoy cycling in their local area, or simply try out cycling for the first time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign to show your support! There is already widespread support for this proposal from a range of local community groups, our local Councillors, and Helen Hayes MP. We are now looking to demonstrate that there is support from local residents and businesses. If you agree with this suggestion, please sign the campaign and share it with others who may also be keen. TfL are particularly interested to hear from local businesses, so if that’s you, it would be great if you can leave a comment, and/or get in touch with us via email to [email protected]800 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Herne Hill Forum

Complete the Gresley Way CyclewayA safe space for cycling along the whole of Gresley Way would create a direct link between homes, schools, and workplaces throughout the east of Stevenage and connect with Great Ashby. Many children living in housing accessed from Gresley Way do not have a cycleway link to existing secondary schools; the new Michaela Stevenage secondary school is due to be built close to Gresley Way. Safe infrastructure for cycling and walking is especially important now with the planned East of Stevenage development on the East Side of Gresley Way. This will increase the traffic levels with construction vehicles that are well known to be a serious hazard for on carriageway cyclists. Stevenage Borough Council have known about the need for this link since their 2002 Cycling Strategy was published. We call on Hertfordshire County Council and Stevenage Borough Council to work together to upgrade the pedestrian path to give a safe high quality segregated space for walking and cycling - in line with our New Town planners' vision of high-quality joined up infrastructure and at least as good as the existing route on the southern end of the road. This section of missing cycleway will make the route safe for everyone whether they are: walking, cycling or using the road. We encourage everyone to support and sign.817 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Tina Walker

Repairs to Bridge B5605 NewbridgeThe B5605 provides critical road links between communities Newbridge, Cefn Mawr, Rhosymedre and Ruabon and also Chirk to the south. This is causing major disruption to local residents and businesses and also provides critical diversionary route from the A483. In the event of closures on or planned works on the A483 it means a fifteen mile division via Llangollen which is unacceptable.3,099 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Sonia Benbow Jones

Improve road repair in Lincs and resurface Abbey Road, Broadley Crescent, and Park Avenue in LouthAbbey Road, Broadley Crescent, and Park Avenue in Louth are in need of more permanent repairs than the Council has been providing, and their concrete bay structure has been crumbling for years. Too often potholes are fixed with temporary repairs that soon break down, causing hazards for road users, and making the roads scarcely usable for drivers that live there. The Council must review its ways of dealing with all road repairs so that they are more permanent and durable, and to make sure it isn't wasting money with fixes that don't last.65 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ros Jackson
