If the NHS A&E moves to a new Hospital at least 50 minutes away by car or ambulance from Llanelli and if Prince Philip Hospital is down graded to a Community Hospital 100,000 people will be severely disadvantaged and some people will not be able to access the NHS services because according to Hywel Dda, they will not have enough money or a car. Losing immediate access to our Health services could cost the lives of people that you know.......or your father or mother or daughter or brother or son or sister or Mrs or Mr......this is key .....for you and for me........please sign to help prevent this.

This stretch of road is used by many pedestrians every day. Most are local parents and their children, walking to and from either Highgate School, St Michaels, Highgate Primary or Channing. However, this stretch of road is very dangerous, particularly for children. Although it is a 20mph zone, cars frequently travel much faster than this. Although there are signs indicating the speed limit along the route, they are small and relatively inconspicuous and in places obscured by foliage. Perhaps because the route used to have a 30mph limit and also because it is a main thoroughfare out of Highgate, the existing signs do not seem to make an impact on how people drive. The risk to people walking is significantly increased by the poor quality of the pavements on both sides of the road. In several places on the North side the paving or concrete is uneven (where slabs are broken or worn or where tree roots are pushing through) and the risk of tripping over (particularly for children) is high. This side is also very narrow which means that in several places it is difficult to pass people going in the other direction or even walk two-abreast with a child. Because of the narrowness of the pavement and because cars do not/may not generally park along this route, if a pedestrian trips there is nothing to protect them from falling straight into the road. There are also a number of pot holes which fill with water on wet days which can only be passed by stepping into the road. Where other roads intersect with Hampstead Lane there is often little to differentiate road from payment: markings are worn and gutters are frequently full of leaves and water. Frequently large vehicles park in driveways in such a way that pedestrians are forced to step into the road to go round them. On the south side of the road, the T-Junction where The Grove meets Hampstead Lane is difficult and dangerous to cross due to the speed at which cars pull out of the crossing and the high density of traffic (increasingly The Grove is used as a cut-through from Highgate West Hill). Many children and their parents are at risk every day because of the combination of these factors and the Councils need to act to protect pedestrians. Hampstead Lane falls far short of the vision set out in the Mayor's Healthy Streets for London strategy (a system of policies specifically designed to help Londoners use cars less and walk, cycle and use public transport more). It is has excessive levels of noise, the air is very polluted, the intersecting roads are difficult to cross and people feel unsafe on it – all factors that actively discourage people from walking or cycling along this route.

The South coast of the UK has a large Polish community, links with Warsaw and Poland, business links, and important family ties.

Wester Ceddens Road links local residents to 4 primary schools, 1 secondary school, 2 nurseries, local shops and 2 churches. During term time the council provides 4 school crossing patrol personnel however, outside of school drop off, lunch and pick up times residents risk their lives attempting to cross Wester Cleddens Road. Furthermore, numerous housing developments have been built on and around Wester Cleddens Road which has increased traffic and the population.

There are 3 primary schools and a secondary school in the immediate area. There is huge pedestrian traffic in the area and crossing Friern Barnet Lane is incredibly dangerous It is unsafe to cross the road. Families are forced to walk on the road as there is no pavement on the southside of Friern Barnet Lane Encouraging children to walk to school is important not only for health but also for the environment.

For the local service users, many of which are the Elderly, Disabled, as well as work commuters and school children.

Lakeside Primary School parents and their children, as well as students from Cardiff High School and Cardiff Metropolitan University Cyncoed Campus cross this road frequently. We all need a safe place to cross Cefn-Coed Road as currently there is no provision and it has become quite dangerous due to the volume of traffic, and cars parked on this road.

because women who have lost out on their state pension,need that bit of help,for day to day expenses

Children cross this road twice a day, at minimum, either going to or coming home from school. It’s a very busy road with cars coming round the corners and not slowing down for pedestrians crossing. Regularly there is a build up of pedestrians waiting to cross with nowhere safe to do so

Penderyn Primary School is on a busy A road. Currently there are no safety barriers in place. There is nothing to prevent the children from running straight into the road when entering or leaving school. There is no physical barrier to protect the children from the busy road. Our children's safety is at risk!

In the late 1970's Oliver's Battery community was divided by Badger Farm Road (now the A3090). A poorly designed underpass was built to connect the North and South of Oliver's Battery Road underneath Badger Farm Road. It makes it impossible for people in wheel chairs or mobility scooters to cross this junction as there are only steps to come up the southern end and no slope. It is very hard to use for young families with babies or toddlers in pushchairs or cyclists who for instance want to cycle to work to Winchester of from Winchester to IBM in Hursley . It forces them to risk crossing the road with fast traffic. This junction as well as the T-junction with the Ridgeway that lies in a bend are both very difficult and dangerous to cross even for cars that often build up long queues trying to to leave Oliver's Battery or Badger Farm. Serious road traffic accidents have become the norm in recent years. It is only a matter of time until someone might lose their life. With the lack of public transport facilities in Oliver's Battery its residents are isolated and makes them car dependent and many elderly people rely on the goodwill of their neighbours to drive them around. The best option with great benefits not only for the local communities but for much of Winchester would be to: - Fill up the underpass to create more space for a safe junction - Build a traffic light junction with priority for cyclists and public transport - Create a bus lane from the Sainsbury’s to the Pitt roundabout (westwards) - Build a cycle lane (or another bus lane) on the eastbound side of Badger Farm Road - Enable easy cycle routes: a) from Hursley via Oliver's Battery towards King's school, b) Along Badgers Farm Road to Sainsbury's, and c) towards Ridgeway/ St Cross and connecting Oliver's Battery with the new planned Leisure Centre at Bar End Benefits: - Safety for all types of traffic - End discrimination against people with restricted mobility - Promote active types of transport (Walking and Cycling) - Promote public transport by shortening travel times for buses during peak times (Who would like to get stuck in the car if you can get into to town faster in the bus?) - Save money that is wasted by keeping buses in congested road traffic Residents in Oliver's Battery and Badger farm are very concerned about these junctions and several attempts by the Parish council and local councillors to improve the situation over many years have been ignored. Some progress has been made only recently. Nobody can understand that even an attempt to reduce the speed limit on Badger Farm Road from 40 to 30 mph (that would cost almost nothing) was refused: The Police would not support it as they think that it will not be complied with by drivers. The main criteria the Police uses is that the existing mean speeds must be close to the proposed lower limit (mean speeds between the Sainsbury’s and Pitt roundabouts were recorded as between 34 and 36 mph, which was not considered to be close enough to 30 mph). People living here are very disappointed about the slow progress. Therefore, these urgently required modifications of Badger Farm Road must be part of the new the Winchester Movement Strategy.

Most local residents and our visitors agree that the junction with the A4 at Beenham Hill is dangerous. If you are turning right to go towards Newbury you currently have to contend with • traffic heading east along the A4 • traffic turning right from the west, across the central reservation towards the hotel, the old houses which are along the main road and now the new development just past the hotel • traffic turning right from the east to cross to Beenham Hill • traffic coming out of the hotel and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic coming out of the new development to the east of the hotel and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic coming out of the existing road where the older houses are and turning westwards OR crossing the A4 to go eastwards • traffic heading west along the A4 Equally there is a problem when trying to turn right from the east to get to Beenham Hill, bearing in mind all the different streams of traffic. The central reservation area is not big enough for vehicles trying to go in the various directions and the road markings are inadequate and ambiguous. We urge the District Council and the Highways authority to install a roundabout as the safest option at this junction and to do it before a serious accident occurs. Some years ago Harts Hill from Bucklebury to Thatcham was changed from National Speed Limit to 40mph after a Beenham resident was killed there by a car driving too fast for the conditions. More recently changes were made to the A4 at Beenham following the death there of another Beenham resident. Let's hope we don’t have to wait for yet another Beenham villager to be involved in a fatality before this junction is made safe.
