Summergroves speed wayWorryingly the speed of all vehicles including buses is on an increase with sometimes speeds at excess of 60mph by some cars and in excess of 30mph by some buses. Children are becoming at risk and it will only be a matter of time before the inevitable happens with either a child, pedestrian, cyclist or motorist being severely injured or worse, a fatality.1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Darian Finn

Increase the frequency of 355 buses to BrixtonThose of us in this area are equidistant between Clapham Common Tube (Northern Line) and Brixton (Victoria Line). TFL runs a double decker bus every 3-4 mins to Clapham Common but only one single decker every 10-15 mins to Brixton. Half of the passengers at my stop want to travel to Brixton but there is only 10% of the capacity that is destined for Clapham. As a result most of us are forced to go to Clapham and get on the Northern Line, then change at Stockwell. The Northern Line is then put under even more strain. TFL constantly ask Northern Line passengers to seek alternative routes but provide no viable alternative to those wishing to use the Victoria Line. Additionally one bus every 15 mins means that if you miss one, or can't get on due to overcrowding, you are invariably late for work. Very often there are more people standing than the legal limit and the "please move down inside the bus" message is on a loop the whole journey. Coming home the 355 leaves Brixton and is often too full to let anyone else board by the second stop on the route, due to lack of frequency. The route is hideously overcrowded between Clapham South and Brixton but under-utilised between Mitcham and Clapham South. Perhaps the solution is a regular and frequent shuttle between Clapham South and Brixton which would solve the problem AND take pressure off the Northern Line which is at breaking point.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Myles Lester

Stop pricing small electric cars off the roadSmall electric cars like the Peugeot Ion, Mitsubishi iMiev and Citroën Zero, do not have large enough batteries to use a full 30 minute charge. The maximum range of these cars at motorway speeds is 50-60 miles. Fast chargers only charge the battery to 80%, so that is 40-48 miles. Allow 10 miles probably already in the battery at the start of the charge, and that's 30-38 miles for £6. Compare with an ordinary diesel car, doing about 60 mpg, where each gallon costs about £5.50, and you will see it costs about twice as much to run a small car charged at an Ecotricity charging point as it does to run a diesel car filled at a pump. On the other hand, if you charge the electric car at home, it costs about half as much to run as the diesel (even with full price green electricity).43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nikki Locke

Automatic-compensation-train-delaysThe train company is not being discouraged from providing a poor and costly service, as passengers like myself, are too exhausted to go through the laborious procedure of trying to get compensation, after a long tiring journey. Virgin hold onto this money, are not incentivised to invest and improve the service, which leads to continued misery for passengers.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by John Morgan

Stop HS2It will cost every man woman and child in the UK £780.00 each, assuming it's on budget. There isn't sufficient people that will use the service to make it worth while. The say the trains will hold 1100 people and they will run every 3 minutes, that's 22,000 people per hour. In 10 hours that would be 220,000 where will they all go?30 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Staton

Build A Road From Fort William To CaolFor four months, during the high season there are frequent two mile tailbacks with traffic crawling in first gear and when there are accidents - which are unfortunately way too frequent - the whole of Fort William grinds to a halt for hours on end. This is having a terrible effect on the local economy and on tourism. It could easily be rectified with the addition of an alternative route to Caol. If money can be found to build a second road bridge over the mighty Forth then surely money can be found to build a bridge over the humble River Lochy.1,662 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Dee Sunshine

North Notts and Lincs need a Community Rail PartnershipCommunity rail partnerships (CRP) have been instrumental in achieving spectacular increases in use of rail through innovative marketing, improved services and better station facilities. Their work includes improving bus links to stations, developing walking and cycling routes, bringing station buildings back to life, art and education projects and organising special events which promote the railway and its relevance to the community. Basically its getting more folks to use trains and encouraging them to use bikes, buses and walking and not use their cars. More passengers strengthen the case for more trains and better stations. In our area we have Gainsborough Central, the worst station in the land according to the Times served by three trains week ( in each direction), all on Saturday. GRaB (Gainsborough, Retford and Brigg rail and bus users group) has already achieved much that would normally be done by a CRP, the latest being the publication of the Gainsborough Travel Guide with all trains and buses in the area shown in one simple guide. However there is a limit to the work that can be done by a users group. A CRP recognised by ACoRP and the DfT has a stronger relationship with train companies who are obliged to work with them.90 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry Coward

DVLA Car Tax ScamThis has created an additional stealth tax for the motorist whereby the DVLA will collect an additional months road tax for every secondhand vehicle sold. In today's advanced society surely an organisation such as one so large and well funded could work out refunds and charges on a daily rate. This is costing the motorist an additional 20 million pounds a year.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Chris Getheridge
