• Please invoke International Law on Ryanair or amend British Law
    Ryanair threatened to leave two disabled octogenarians and myself aged 76 at Malaga airport because we were unable to download inbound boarding cards, which they do not allow to be downloaded before the outbound flight. We could not download them in Spain because we do not own smartphones. We were humiliated at the airport and forced to scrabble around for the cash. The stress has had an effect on all three of us and spoiled what had been a recuperative holiday. Michael O'Leary, the Chief Exec. of Ryanair told me personally that I should have bought on at an internet café or an hotel." Why not just allow them to be downloaded before flying?" I asked him. I have not yet had a reply to this simple question. Many people have been fined in this way and I would like them to sign this petition. I have two letters from O'Leary refusing to return our money.

  • Southern Trains: Deliver a Blanket Refund for Season Ticket Holders
    Thousands of people rely on Southern Trains to get to and from work everyday. The service in 2016 has been appalling. Season tickets cost thousands of pounds a year, and Southern aren't delivering. Season Ticket holders can claim money back for a delayed train but why should they? Sometimes for as many as 10 trains a week can be late. Yes, every journey to work. Having lost hours of their lives on crowded platforms or crammed in over-packed trains, why would customers then want to waste more time filling out a form accounting for every minute of their journey? Why should they record every moment of their crummy journey home? Just finally catching a train and finally making it home is a relief. Why make them relive it? This is causing strife to thousands. Thousands of late appointments, delayed starts, working lates to catch up. Missed bedtimes. Nurses and doctors unable to get to their patients on time. How do they get money back? Waste more of their time filling out a form. You can't even keep up with processing all the claims, so why try? Stop wasting money on a pointless paper chasing exercise and just give people their money back. Come on Southern Trains, you know your service is rubbish. You know your customers have suffered enough. Do the decent thing, give them a rebate on their season ticket, without them having to ask for it.

  • Restrict commercial use of Drones
    A very small but vocal lobby is pushing another 'innovation' of questionable value through the legislative system. Citizens must be allowed to have the final say on drone use as the air above our heads should not become a playground for the few and be a threat to our health and safety.

  • Aberdeen City Council Is Blocking Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Car Park Plans
    Many people are not able to use the bus service due to the high costs, or the long waiting times. Also many people are in poor health, and have no choice but to use the car to either attend appointments or visit the hospital. The parking at present is exceptionally poor, and many have to go home without visiting patients as they cannot get parked.

  • A logical approach to vehicle excise duty
    The current illogical vehicle tax is based on laboratory determined exhaust emissions. Whilst in theory this might sound a good way collecting revenue and at the same time encouraging owner/drivers to buy more efficient vehicles, it does not take into account other factors. The main factors are, load carried, driving style and distance travelled. For example, the owner of a car with a high perceived emission rating standing in a driveway producing zero emissions can be contributing as much or more to the exchequer than the owner of a so called low emission car being driven a long distance badly and heavily loaded producing lots of noxious gases. So it follows then that the only logical way to tax vehicles (if contaminating the atmosphere is really the criteria) is to put all the levy on to fuel and scrap the current tax system. Maybe not popular with the masses initially, however if explained properly and honestly whilst also demonstrating how the revenue generated is being used, transparent and open policies might eventually be appreciated by all.

  • Keep Island Line in South Western Rail Franchise
    This is a vital rail line which serves both residents and tourists. I am a member of Lake Townswomen's Guild and a lot of our members rely on the train to get to the mainland to visit family and for hospital visits. Neither my husband or I drive so are reliant on public transport. It is also used by commuters to the mainland.

  • Save lives by installing cameras & barriers on Stratford Road
    The council have stated that they will not take steps to improve this area until there have been fatalities. Why? It seems ludicrous to wait for this to happen when there could be improvements made quite simply. There have been several accidents at this site and this whole area is made more dangerous by the lack of speed cameras in this area of the Stratford Road. Residents have described seeing cars regularly travelling at excessive speeds (day or night) which of course will make any incident more serious! They have also described constant skidding, racing, speeding and boy racers/motorbikes doing wheelies around the Island. As a result, residents have heard and witnessed some upsetting road traffic collisions(RTC's) including injuries since the Island has been built. The railings at the pedestrian crossing have been totally destroyed in an incident that happened on a Sunday morning at 7.30am - 3rd July 16.There were actually 2 accidents that morning and one the day before. A temporary barrier has been put up but this has been either blown or knocked down leaving pedestrians totally exposed to danger! This crossing is now too dangerous for people to use, which is potentially lethal considering the speed of the vehicles travelling here. THE COUNCIL CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE RAILINGS DUE TO COST - we would like to ask them to reconsider. This is an accident hotspot which could have a tragic incident at any moment. We would like to ask you to make it safer BEFORE a death occurs.

  • Sack the Transport Minister - Get our train system back
    This is important because it should be possible for all sections of society to travel peaceably and with reasonable certainty to their destinations safely and on time. The present minister has been instrumental in promoting the railway companies to engineer strike action which she can avoid instantly by telling them to stop all such actions and leave the system as it is. By not doing that and avoiding her direct responsibility in this she has forfeited her right to be a minister of the crown, as she has clearly demonstrated that she is prepared to let millions of the electorate suffer day in day out for ideological reasons only. This is an abdication of her supreme responsibility as a Minister of the crown. We the electorate are now no longer willing to tolerate her and the railway companies able to inflict this economic and human stress on the population.

  • Put up a CYCLISTS DISMOUNT sign on the alley between Windsor Rd and Warwick Rd in Cambridge.
    This morning when I was taking my son to school a lady knocked him with her bike seat and made him cry. When I pointed the fact out to her she refused my request to apologise to him and rode off. Having seen this another lady asked me if I was going to report her to which I replied that I probably wouldn't and she said that the same had happened to her child recently. After talking to a few people I now realise how dangerous this alleyway is. Cyclists use it a a short cut and ride at a speed that would make it very hard to prevent a collision which could potentially have serious consequences.. At school times the alley is used by a number of parents and children who constantly try to avoid the dangers but in reality children do not understand and are unpredictable. I feel that it is only a matter of time until an injury occurs and by cyclists dismounting and adding maybe one minute maximum to their journey to work this risk could be eliminated. If they had children themselves surely they would understand this?

  • Increase the 15.5mph speed limit on electric bikes to 25mph.
    Electric bikes are a cheap, light, efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transport, which can travel 66 times further than a car on the same amount of energy. This approximates to 2,000 mpg. They are also far safer for other road users and cause significantly less congestion and pollution, while also reducing wear and tear on the roads. The problem is the arbitrary 15.5mph top speed imposed on electric bikes. There seems no good reason for this, other than to support the car-making and fossil fuel sectors. 15.5mph is fine in a city, but it makes electric bikes impractical for moderate to long-distance commutes on open roads, where they are significantly slower than pedal-powered bikes. It is precisely in the 15-25mph range where you need mechanical assistance, and this is where it is currently banned.
