  • 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.

  • Introduce a 'Walk to Work' Scheme for Footwear and Wet Weather Kit
    The 1999 Finance Act introduced the Cycle to Work scheme, a Government backed tax exemption scheme that allows employers to loan cycles and cyclists' safety equipment to employees as a tax-free benefit, which the employees can purchase at ‘acceptable market value’ at the end of the loan or hire period. The exemption was one of a series of measures introduced under the Government's Green Transport Plan to promote healthier journeys to work and to reduce environmental pollution. The scheme has proved very successful, with over 1 million employees participating. However, walking to work is also very healthy option for one’s commute. With even less manufacturing involved than cycling, with less embedded carbon associated with it, walking to walk can claim to be even better for the environment than cycling. Walking is obviously not an option for longer journeys, but for journeys of a few miles, a walk of up to an hour a day is a choice that can greatly improve health, take even more cars of the road and safe money on fuel or public transport fares. May 2016 is National Walking Month. In promoting this initiative the British Heart Foundation cites a ‘physical activity specialist’ as saying: "Walking is a fantastic way to keep active and maintain a healthy heart as it is fun, flexible and free.” Although correct on the health and other intangible benefits, regular commuting by foot in Britain cannot be described as ‘free’; it requires good quality, waterproof footwear and necessitates an investment in durable wet weather clothing. I therefore suggest a campaign to lobby government to amend the 1999 Finance Act to include a ‘Walk to Work’ scheme, whereby employees can gain benefits similar to those provided to cyclists by the Cycle to Work scheme, to acquire good quality, waterproof footwear and outer wear to make their regular walk to work more pleasant and beneficial.

  • Add Speed Awareness / Traffic Calming Measures to Llanfairpwll
    As local residents we have observed traffic frequently speeding dangerously through the village. The whole community young and old are vulnerable to cars speeding past, especially when trying to cross over the road. Nowhere is this more apparent than where traffic initially enters the village at the Menai Bridge end. At this point a busy staggered junction causes an initial crash hazard, then the petrol garage and the school. At school drop off and pick up times traffic is hazardous due to the chaos but speed is restricted by the number of parked cars. However at other times such as early morning and late afternoon the speeds are excessive, and especially in the evening. An introduction of a Vehicle Activated Sign (flashes 30 to remind traffic to slow down) would prompt drivers to reduce their speed upon entrance into the village before approaching the school or other pedestrian likely areas.

  • Free Local Train Travel for England's Pensioners
    Many pensioners are isolated, lonely and trapped in pensioner poverty. Buses do not provide toilets or comfort for many with mobility or health issues. South Yorkshire Freedom Riders have long campaigned for their concession to be returned and for it to be extended to all on the above grounds as well as social needs. For example many now find hospital treatment is no longer local but regional and often impossible to travel to by bus. If it's good enough for pensioners in London then it's only right that all pensioners in England have the same concession.

  • Road Safety for Greenbank School Children on Smithdown Road
    Liverpool City Council have already decided to cut some school crossing patrols (Lollipop ladies/men) because they are not a statutory service and therefore they do not have a legal obligation to keep our children safe. Although Greenbank Primary’s School crossing patrol was cut, Greenbank School along with more than another 50 schools have stepped in to fund this vital service. As you are all more than aware, a huge redevelopment is taking place on Smithdown Road, many of us have raised concerns about making this road much safer for pedestrians. This is the perfect opportunity to request Liverpool City Council to make this junction between Smithdown Road and Greenbank Road much safer to cross. After several emails to the City Council and local Councillors I recently raised this issue with the school. I was asked to collate the support of lots of parents so I have develop this petition: This is of the upmost importance as the road is very busy with traffic and all of us who travel to and from the primary school, nursery and park need the highest of road safety. The council have worked in partnership with the University of Liverpool to add a crossing for students to access Greenbank Park because the road crossing there is dangerous. Do we not all believe that our children deserve the same level of safety?

  • Don't cut vital support for disabled people in East Worthing and Shoreham-by-sea
    George Osborne has announced plans to take £70 a week away from thousands of people with disabilities, by cutting Personal Independence Payments (PIP). For many of us, this will mean losing the crucial support which enables us to get out of the house. Many people in our area would be hit hard by this cut. This petition calls on our local MP to do all they can to stop this cruel and unfair plan. Please, show your support for local people with disabilities and help stop the cuts to PIP.
