Sort our roadsThe state of these roads costs the drivers a fortune in car repair and is a danger to the public and vehicles.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ian Mcdermott

Add Speed Awareness / Traffic Calming Measures to LlanfairpwllAs 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.53 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Emma Griffiths Hughes

Free Local Train Travel for England's PensionersMany 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.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Mike Smith

Road Safety for Greenbank School Children on Smithdown RoadLiverpool 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?22 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Elaine McNeill

Don't cut vital support for disabled people in East Worthing and Shoreham-by-seaGeorge 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.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Derek Nelson-Wills

Stop Council Camera Van Parking FinesIt has affected over 150 businesses in the Brynymor, Uplands, St Helens, Wind Street and City Center Area, I have personally spoken and taking statements from all of these businesses and they have all stated they have suffered economic loss due to loss of trade because of these Parking Fines. It has also become apparent that there has been a large amount of parking restrictions placed recently where these businesses are located, purposely for the intent of issuing Parking Fines. This affects everyone!8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Charlene Aa

Reduce speeds and dangerous driving in ChobhamChobham is a small but busy village. It is populated by young families and elderly residents. It is also positioned between several major motorways. Residents have noticed a dramatic increase in the number of deaths, accidents, dangerous and aggressive driving. Accidents have involved barriers to houses, walls, parked cars Due to the primary school, children's centre, pre school and elderly population. We are seriously concerned that the next accident is going to involve a child or an elderly person. We would like to see a variety of traffic calming measures introduced to the local roads. These roads include: Chertsey road, Windsor road, Bagshot road and Pennypot lane. We are parents of young children and we know any parent would be devastated if a horrific accident involving a young child were to happen due to factors which are preventable. We urge you to take action.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amy Turton

Make Bristol safer for cyclingBristol is now the second most congested city in the UK and pollution kills nearly 200 people a year. Yet in the last 3 years just 1 km of truly protected cycleway has been built. Bike Life survey shows that in Bristol – 80% of people support increasing the safety of cycling 70% of people want to see more spent on safer cycling infrastructure The next Council needs to make a comprehensive network of safe, connected cycle routes.a priority.26 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Space4Cycling Bristol BristolCycleCampaign

Fix the Bath Sevendials Shared Space Scheme and install a wide Zebra crossingWe want the council to recognise that creating a shared space scheme on a major through road is not working. Expert design advice explicitly recommends that shared space is not built on a through road. The installation of a wide Zebra crossing on Monmouth Street/Westgate Buildings would redefine the space to have pedestrian priority and provide a safer environment for all vulnerable road users. It is quite clear from the number of near misses and general uncomfortable nature of the space that motorised vehicles feel they can barge through the space and be extremely aggressive. This remedy would be very cheap to implement and money from the underspend from Cycle City Ambition Grant Sevendials scheme should be made available to fix this glaring design mistake. It is ironic that the Zebra crossing on James St West outside the Odeon is a more comfortable and safe place to cross than Monmouth Street in the heart of the Sevendials Space.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Adam Reynolds

Change Highways laws to permit personal mobility devicesThere have been multiple inventions across the world in the last few years that would alleviate congestion and aid the restricted movement public in this country, if the law were modified. Currently these PMD's do not fit into our highways act simply because they aren't disabled carriages, are motorised and so cannot be driven on the pavements and are too slow for the road networks. I propose that room should be made in the highways act and by extension in the Cyclist part of the Highway code for the use of properly registered and maintained "safe" Personal Mobility Devices. These devices are growing in popularity across the world (I believe at the last count the Segway for example was a legal form of transportation in 30 different countries now) and simply sticking our head in the sand and quoting legislation based on an act that was made in 1835 is putting us at risk of missing the boat on properly regulating the safe and controlled use of these devices. If we were to open the doors on this issue, we could provide laws and rules to do things like prohibit the use of these PMDs inside so that people do not injure themselves riding around the office as I have seen in one Youtube video, but also we can regulate the types of PMD allowed on Cycle lanes for example. Most of these PMDs are limited to 10mph the equivalent of a fast run, so could legitimately use cycle lanes and pavements where it is safe to do so, if the law were changed to allow these vehicles to be treated similarly to bicycles. Furthermore, if these PMDs were treated like a stage between a bicycle and motorbike, they could be taxed and regulated like a discount motorbike. Allowing for further regulation and control, perhaps even licensing to promote safe usage of them too (which is more than is required for Disability "buggies"). Currently Disability "buggies" have 2 classes -4mph they are allowed unrestricted access to public areas, +4mph these vehicles have to have a tax registration and have road legal lighting on them. There is a section in the Highway code for the correct use of these devices, most of them are electric and most of them are often used in public areas with little or no danger to the public. All I am asking, is for a similar allowance for Safe Personal Mobility Devices to be given a fair chance to be used by a public who are crying out for an alternative to sitting in traffic jams all day, whether using public transport or not, or having to get all hot and sweaty cycling to work through fume and traffic clogged streets. Providing a section in the Highways act to classify PMDs would allow for this development. To further my argument, most of these PMDs are also electric and so would be far less polluting than even the most eco-friendly hybrid bus that Boris can sponsor. You ride your electric PMD in to the office in the morning, charge it back up using the company solar panels, then ride it home and plug it back into your solar panels at home, much better than riding a hybrid bus that uses a diesel generator to charge its batteries when it's outside of the congestion zones.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Simon Macmanus
