Road Tax Rip Off.With the new road tax system, which is being introduced on the 1st of October, it states that when you sell your vehicle you receive a refund for any full calendar months left on the vehicle tax. The problem with this is the system is now computerised & that the refund should be from the day after you sell your vehicle. When you buy a vehicle you must buy road tax on that day if you wish to drive it on that day, If I sell a vehicle at the beginning of the month I lose a full months money, this is tantamount to theft. The revenue that is made from this must run into the millions. You must refund the full amount from the day after the sale of the vehicle.373 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Tony Solomon

Stop the privatisation of East Coast TrainsEast Coast Trains is contributing money back to the UK economy and is the best example of why a state owned public service is best kept public. With a possible change of Government so soon after the selling of this franchise, it's sale should be delayed to allow a (possible) Labour Government keep the company state owned149 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Graham Sampson

FAIR Flights Paths for HeathrowAt present, over 700,000 people live under the Heathrow flight paths; that is, 28% of all people impacted by aircraft noise across Europe. For many people it can mean more than 40 planes an hour passing overhead at the busiest times. People are crying out for respite. Fair flight paths would mean most communities getting respite for 50% - 70% of the time without noise becoming a serious problem in new areas. It would benefit residents with no disbenefit to the airport.875 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by John Stewart

Upgrade the A82 (Glasgow - Inverness)1. This is a lifeline road for the west coast communities. The A9 is an unacceptable alternative. 2. Their are far too many accidents - many fatal - on this road 3. Between Crianlarich and Fort Augustus there is no real alternative route following the many closures this road suffers. 4. Lorries and buses/coaches frequently have difficulty passing; in particular on the Loch Lomondside section between Tarbet and Inverarnan. 5. The road surface does not meet 21st Century standards - despite many repairs/patches - costing drivers for the repairs to their vehicles.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Les Horn

Protect the Gwent Levels and stop the proposed M4 motorwayThe current plans to extend the M4 motorway will put otters, rare bees and wildflowers at risk. It would cut across the 'Amazon Rainforest' of Wales, the Gwent Levels, which is a haven for wildlife. Traffic around Newport needs to be improved but it would be better for Wales and the environment if the Welsh government invests in public transport instead. If we want to protect the environment for future generations we need to come up with alternatives to big polluting motorways. The Assembly's own environmental regulator and advisory body, Natural Resources Wales, is against these plans.21,351 of 25,000 SignaturesCreated by Bleddyn Lake

Reverse the Beeching CutsIt will encourage many people to commute by the railways to get quicker travel and cheaper payments. In addition many people are asking for their railways to be brought back especially in North Wales. My Dad would use the railways more then he would use the car.427 of 500 SignaturesCreated by D George

BUS FLOOR TO ROOF HEIGHT INAPPROPRIATEThe current floor to roof height is low and a passenger is not going to always realise that the height of the vehicle is low that they will bend over and duck their heads to sit in the rear of the bus, especially as all buses other than this newly introduced bus have relatively ample head height when accessing all bus seats. A passenger made a complaint that they literally hurt themselves experiencing neck and head pains approximately 3 days after the incident, that they felt the need to make a complaint after stepping up on a step to access a rear seat they hit themselves firmly on the head on the low floor panel of the bus. Contrary, to the findings of the Automotive Engineer - Defects Investigation, Andrew M Tudor, in his letter dated 4 August 2014, who feels "VSB accepts that the head room at the rear of the vehicle is restrictive, however, this should be clear to occupants, as the roof panel remains level, the floor level raises as it progresses down the bus with a number of steps in it and the view clearly shows that the amount of head room for the rear seats is restrictive." Obviously, this statement that VSB accepts is not the case for all passengers travelling on the bus that choose to make their way to sit in the rear seats for any reason, which in the case of the person that made the complaint was to sit in one of the only available seats on a crowded bus.59 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Lanning

Stop HGV's and Buses using QueenswayConstant flow of children in area. The road serves 3 Primary Schools and 2 High schools. The present speed ramps do not deter vehicles to slow down in fact the opposite. A 7.5 ton weight limit would stop lorries and buses and Chicanes would reduce the speed of all other vehicles19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by George Dick

HS2 threatens Ancient Woodland1. Ancient woodland is irreplaceable. Once it's gone, its gone forever. It cannot be recreated. 2. Ancient woods are our richest land-based habitat. They have had relatively little disturbance over the centuries, which has allowed them to develop complex and diverse ecological communities of plants and animals. 3. Ancient woods are of archaeological importance, providing living records of the past and, are also some of our most beautiful places to visit. 4. Ancient woodland covers just two per cent of the UK and much of it is highly fragmented. 5. 256 species of conservation concern live in ancient woodland.219 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Constituent Wood

Abolish Road Vehicle Licence TaxIt is an outdated tax that now has no other function than to support the department that administrates it.
