• 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.

  • Wheelchair Users V Pushchairs & Buggies on buses
    Being passengers in wheelchairs should not be made to wait at bus stops sometimes for over an hour to wait for the next available bus. Also in 2004 a disability law was brought into the country by the government at that time to help the disabled.

  • Tackle parking issues on Technology Drive, Rugby
    Bad parking restricts visibility to other road users, restricts the road width , forces lorries and buses into the opposite carriageway and has caused a number of near miss accidents.

  • Stop Bristol Airport charging for passenger Drop-Off
    By charging for this, Bristol Airport gives the impression that they are trying to squeeze their customers for every last penny. Particularly for those making frequent visits to the airport, why should they be forced to pay for a simple drop off? What exactly is the service that Bristol Airport is charging for? The concept of airport drop off is merely a means of delivering the airport's customers to the point of business. The knock on effect is that the police at the airport waste time policing the airport roadways where people elect to drop off as an alternative to paying the fee.

  • Disabled access on Plymouth streets
    I have been fighting for nearly 2 years to get drop kerbs installed on Cunningham road in Plymouth, to allow access for wheelchair and mobility scooters. I have mobility issues and rely on a scooter to get around, but with no drop kerbs, i cant leave my house. I have been lied to and treated like I don't matter by the council, and put onto a list for a fund that simply doesn't have enough money to do the work, meaning it will never be done. I have been told by the council that they don't have a budget for disability access issues and the only money available is £4000 in the living streets fund, while the work has been quoted as £5000. Why don't the council have a budget set aside for disability access issues? The discrimination act was put in place to prevent businesses from discriminating against disabled people yet the council don't have to do anything about it? I may only be one person asking for them, but not having them means my life is seriously effected as I do not have access to my GP, the hospital, the pain clinic or anywhere else. It is important that the council listen to what it's constituents need, are taken to account for failing to fulfil their job and are prepared for such occurrences with suitable budgets.

  • Stop the obscene wage of £750,000 to the Chief Executive of HS2
    HS2 is a political vanity project which is costing the UK over £50 billion pounds of public money - the equivalent of the entire deficit which could otherwise be spent on much-needed services and communities. There is, as yet, no parliamentary authority to build this railway, and this flawed project has been repeatedly questioned and criticised by economists, parliamentarians and the many communities, families and individuals who will be impacted by this most socially and environmentally damaging scheme. Above all, HS2 is a totally unnecessary 'folly' which will see a generation of children growing up surrounded by construction and spoil lorries, and many of our older residents living out their lives in the shadow of the destruction caused to their homes, communities and landscapes.

  • South Devon Cycle Link
    There is currently no safe way to cycle between Totnes and Newton Abbot. The A381 is the only route over the river Dart and it is simply too dangerous for cyclists. Access to footbridge, the only other bridge over the river, would enable cyclists and walkers to travel safely out of Totnes to the north east and west. This would ease congestion and improve the health and wellbeing of the residents of Totnes and Newton Abbot and all the villages that lie between. In addition, this route would serve to complete the missing link in the National Cycle Network. The route in question is called NCN2 and runs from Dover to St Austell. The missing link lies between Totnes and Newton Abbot. However, Devon County Council want to sign off an alternative route that bypasses Totnes altogether. We believe that this is a huge missed opportunity as it will have a negative impact on the town in the form of lost revenue from cycle tourism. Please help support our campaign by asking Devon Council not to bypass our town but to directly liaise with South Devon Railway to appease their concerns regarding security. The bridge was part funded by public money and is a valuable asset to Totnes and its transport infrastructure. However, it is only being used exclusively for customers of the railway and not for the overall benefit of the community. We need the council to help us convince the railway that we can secure their important tourist attraction and that opening up access to the bridge would actually benefit their business going forward. We have had discussions with both South West Water and the only private landowner involved, and neither have any serious objections to our proposal. Our petition has generated almost 3000 signatures, many with comments expressing the importance of the scheme to the local and wider community. What we are missing is support from Devon Council. We do not need another study, we do not need any more consultants, there are no other routes that offer value for money. Our proposal is a valid practical solution with many benefits to the local community in terms of congestion, health and tourism. Our proposal is backed by the community, Sustains, all the local schools, local businesses, local and regional MP's and is backed by South Hams District Council. We appreciate the cycle path will require an estimated £300,000 (although we believe this estimate to be excessive). We are happy to co-ordinate the funding process going forward, however this option will never come to fruition if we don't get agreement in the first place. So please Devon County Council - please don't sign off the National Cycle Network Route 2 so that it bypasses Totnes. Instead please get on side and help negotiate with the South Devon Railway to open up a public resource for the benefit of us all.
