• Stop Greenbelt Loophole Allowing Development in Bardsey Leeds
    Bramham estate in Leeds wants to sell off Red Flagged Green Belt by exploiting a section of the national planning guidelines referred to as 'very special circumstances'. This allows development on Greenbelt if the profits can be used to fund repairs to listed buildings, improve land elsewhere etc. Which would be fine if this were to benefit the surrounding populace. In this case it does not, as visiting Bramham is severely restricted. Bramham has proposed an open day a year to allow visitors should the plans be approved. So Nick Lane Fox would be using the money for home improvements only he would benefit from. We do not believe Nick Lane Fox and the Bramham estate should be allowed to get away with exploiting this loophole. Which will only cause misery to residents in surrounding villages of Scarcroft, East Keswick, Bardsey and Collingham. Collingham who have recently lost land to another development of many houses. We believe this is a test case of sorts and that should it be approved will open the floodgates to similar developments all over the country. Further to Note: The proposed site for build is located on flood plains that have been seen to flood very regularly and already affect existing properties in recent years many times. Amenities within the area are already stretched to breaking point with schools been full and waiting times at the surgery getting longer. The A58 is stretched to capacity at busy times of the day and the further pressure of 140 house with at least two cars each will only add to the mayhem in mornings and evenings.

  • Install a green man road crossing on Warsash Road
    This petition is on behalf of all those who live on Warsash Road/Warsash village who would like a safe place to cross the main road. The pelican crossing needs to be installed on the Warsash road/ near Greenaway Lane/Saxon Close towards Warsash Village. This is a busy road, where it is always hard to cross safely without having to either wait for a completely clear road or waiting for somebody to "flash" their headlamps for you to cross. The road has had some nasty accidents over the years involving pedestrians and collisions with vehicles. With a crossing, this will be preventable and the number of accidents on the road will reduce greatly. Over the last couple of years, I have spoken to lots of residents in the area. All agree that there should have been a green man crossing installed a long time ago. A crossing would benefit us all: children and youngsters would feel safe and confident enough to cross the road, and so would parents, those without their own means of transport and the elderly. Having lived here all my life, I know how unsafe I used to feel crossing the road as a child. So, if like me, you would like a safe place to cross the busy Warsash road, please sign the petition! Thank you

  • Stop cars becoming terrorists' weapons with a new Vehicle Technology Act
    Recent events in London and and Europe have shown how terrorists are using vehicles of all kinds as weapons. This has to be stopped to stop the loss of life and disruption caused by the terrorists weaponising vehicles. Foootnote - just like driverless vehicles post collision system responses can be managed to protect the driver and others from further injury. PLEASE SIGN NOW! So many people have been injured and affected by the latest London atrocity. Action is required immediately. Effective Action can be taken using modern Technology. New Vehicle construction regulations are needed which will: (a) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Warning sensors) triggered when the presence of people or objects with which a vehicle may collide. (b) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Collision Sensors) that will detect if a vehicle has actually collided with a person or object. (c) When Warning Sensors are triggered a vehicle alarm system with responses at graduated levels must be automatically operated. (d) When Collision Sensors are triggered the vehicle must be automatically brought to a halt the duration of which will be automatically graduated in time depending on severity. This will not only prevent Weaponising but also all failure to stop events. This should apply to all new vehicles(Warning sensors) sold in the UK no later than 1st January 2023 and all vehicles on the road by no later than 2025 with a government sponsored car modification scheme. PLEASE DO NOT Delay - sign TODAY

  • Make driving theory test be compulsory for all learners before driving on road
    All learners these days can have the opportunity to drive on a public road with an approved driving instructor. Young drivers should not be allowed on public roads without knowing the hazards, speed & stopping distances and should be aware of road signals and signs. I am petitioning that the government and the DVLA/DVSA should put theory test at first before driving with an approved driving instructor.

  • Traffic Calm the A131 in Sudbury
    County Council Elections take place in May. This petition is your opportunity to tell your future Suffolk County Councillor to roll up their sleeves and invest in Sudbury street life. Sudbury's Town, District and County Councillors are well aware of the need for traffic infrastructure modernisation, but other than speculating on a Western Bypass that may happen in a future decade the reality is little if any effort has been made to manage existing traffic beyond the bare minimum. Indeed many villages have better traffic calming measures compared to Sudbury's crumbling roads. The UK Government is beginning to publicly acknowledge the health dangers of emissions and County Council's Nationwide are adopting the 20's Plenty initiative. It's time for Sudbury to Move With The Times.... We recommend the 20's Plenty website for further information on Traffic Calming: http://www.20splenty.org

  • Nationalise Hospital Car-parking and push all profits into the NHS
    Large companies like Indigo, who provide car parks at Hospitals around the country make millions of pounds of profit charging extortionate fees to patients, relatives and staff who need access to the hospitals. Only a small portion of these profits are turned over to the NHS, with the majority going to tax subsidised firms who continue to rake in millions of pounds. If these long-term contracts were torn up by our Government and NHS England, prices could be regulated, and all of the profits could go directly into the struggling Health Service. As it stands, these heartless companies are ripping off thousands each day, the NHS is getting a bad deal, and more and more power is being directed into the hands of a few. http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/nurse-given-parking-ticket-while-she-was-in-hospital-possibly-trying-to-save-someone-s-life/story-30155046-detail/story.html Change is needed now!

  • Severn Crossing
    Alun Cairns (Welsh Secatary) wants to overule current law (1997) that states all charges will end when bridge PFI is completed. The government are planning to change the law to keep charges. This is abusing the British public and monies will not benefit Wales or South West.

  • Road vehicles should use headlights at all times.
    It is quite alarming how many vehicles of all types do not use headlights in conditions of poor visibility, such as heavy rain, mist and even fog, dawn and dusk light, etc. Even in bright sunlight vehicles are far more visible. Vehicle visibility is an absolute priority. It reduces accident rates and saves lives .The EU ruled that from 2011 all vehicles should be fitted with DRL's (Direct Running Lights) which are switched on automatically when the engine is started. (This does not appear to turn on the rear lights.) There are many vehicles made before this date, and there is a mass of evidence that vehicles can be seen far more clearly under all weather and light conditions if they have their headlights and rear lights on. Please sign this petition. It takes only 30 seconds to help make our roads safer.
