• Parking Spaces For Motorcycles In Pinner
    There are no parking spaces for motorcycles in Pinner. I cannot park my bike in front of the shops. Got stung with a PCN (Penalty Charge Notice). The parking spaces for cars are always full all the time. I cannot park in the disabled parking spaces (I am profoundly deaf, which therefore makes me disabled so I should be able to park my bike in these spaces - the chances of a wheelchair user needing the space to park his/her car is very slim), I parked my bike in the disabled bays and got stung twice withe the PCN both on the same day which is just way way way beyond ridiculous. There's nowhere to park my bike in Pinner if I need to do some shopping in Pinner. If I cannot park my bike in front of the shops, the car spaces are always full and I cannot park in the disabled spaces, then where am I going to park my bike if I want to do some shopping in Pinner????? I don't want to get stung by the blasted PCN yet again! They already have parking spaces for bikes in Harrow and Uxbridge. Why should Pinner miss out? The shopkeepers in Pinner will want to attract and encourage business to Pinner. Plus bikes are greener than cars. If Harrow Council wants to claim it has green credentials, then they should consider setting aside some parking spaces for bikes in Pinner so that bikers and scooter riders (I ride a 125 c.c. motorised scooter) can park their bikes in Pinner whenever they want to go shopping in Pinner. Not every biker is a Hell's Angels-type biker.

  • Fair Airline Prices
    Flying is not just for business travel, it is also about family visits/reunions/meeting loved ones. Changing nearly double the price to depart from China is keeping families apart because visits become too expensive. No matter the date, no matter the time, no matter the airport, it is always significantly more expensive to start the journey from China than to depart from the UK.

  • Stop Penalising Cross Channel Truck Drivers
    This risks and added stress to cross channel truck drivers is great enough without weighing them down with unwarranted financial burdens, most of which they have no control over. This is killing continental truck deliveries as neither the drivers nor the companies they work for can operate with such uncontrollable financial burdens hanging over their heads. The profit margins for UK based international logistics are very small as foreign logistics companies do it cheaper as they pay their drivers far less than UK drivers. These fines just make it untenable and is killing off UK based continental deliveries.

  • CCTV monitoring of Yellow Box Junctions
    Yellow Box Junctions are, in general terms, a good thing. They allow traffic from minor roads access to main roads in heavy traffic. The problem that we have had in London for some years, and coming soon to the rest of the country, is where the council uses them as ‘money boxes’ to raise revenue thru CCTV. One west London junction raised £2.7m a year, and there are many others

  • Wightman Road Street Party
    Residents from adjoining roads could not only join in to celebrate and enjoy the festivities, but come together to talk and get involved in workshops to discuss traffic congestion, think about possible interventions that would improve the area, look at measures to reduce traffic overall, and understand the affects of pollution upon our health. Biannually Harringay has a Food Festival, and is a great success closing Green Lanes to traffic for the day, the Wightman Road Street Party could alternate with a focus on improving residents health and the health of the eight thousand people living on the Harringay Ladder. A street party would provide a respite for residents from traffic for the day., traffic that Wightman Road face every day throughout the year. This would also allow the 28 roads on the Harringay Ladder to come together to have workshops and challenge the amount of traffic the area is exposed to. Wightman Road takes the brunt of traffic on the Harringay Ladder, and has been designated a B road, it is no different to any other residential road, it was intended as a service road by the late Victorians, not a bypass. This event is important because of the traffic that relentlessly travel up this road every day affects the health of its residents, and reflects the situation where residents have no control over the roads they live on across London.

  • Free/cheaper public transport for children under 18
    We are asking for all children under 18 years of age to be given free transport at the very least for school journeys. • Some children cannot afford bus/tram fare – walking could lead to crimes • Walking home is not an option; children live too far from their school; also winter is approaching Public transport is safer, there are many people; which also reduces crime rate on public transport

  • Compulsory assessment for drivers every 10 years
    I'm not talking about a retest, just an assessment to find potentially dangerous drivers. The standard of driving in this country is nothing short of abysmal at times and it can't all be blamed on new and inexperienced drivers, they are not taught to drive as bad as some of the people that are on the road at the moment.

  • Reintroduce Buses Along Gledhow Valley Road
    I have Parkinson's disease. I have had my driving licence revoked. I am reliant on favours to get anywhere because the valley sides are too steep for me. I am not the only person in this position. I'd be happy to take public transport if it were public. What use is a bus pass without a bus?

  • Zero Tolerance on Drink Driving Legislation in the United Kingdom
    There is no need for the risk! If you're going to drink, have somebody else drive. In 2013, 260 people were killed and 1,100 were seriously injured as a result of drink driving. More than 70,000 people every year are caught drink driving. If you fail a roadside breath test and are found guilty of drink driving, you may get: six months in prison, an unlimited fine, a driving ban for at least 12 months, a criminal record. Effects of alcohol on driving: Any amount of alcohol affects your judgement and your ability to drive safely. You may not notice the effects but even a small amount of alcohol can: reduce your co-ordination, slow down your reactions, affect your vision, affect how you judge speed and distance, make you drowsy. Alcohol can also make you more likely to take risks, which can create dangerous situations for you and other people. How long do the effects last? Alcohol takes time to leave your body. For example: if you drink at lunchtime, you may be unfit to drive in the evening, if you drink in the evening, you may be unfit to drive the next morning.

  • Helmets for all cyclists
    My son recently fell off his bike on the way to school. He fractured his scaphoid, was covered in grazes and bruises but he also banged his head on the kerb. Thankfully he was lucky and only got a lump, a graze and bruises but it couldn't been so much worse. He was told off by numerous healthcare workers because he wasn't wearing a helmet and his reply was, "I only have go to a short distance". The truth is its not cool to wear a helmet when you're a sixteen your old boy because it might mess up your hair! If it was made law, it wouldn't matter about looking cool because everyone would look the same. Jake was lucky but it could've been a different story and he could've suffered massive head injuries.
