School Transport to Darran Park Primary and YGG Llyn y Forwyn for Blaenllechau pupils.We feel that the distance from Blaenllechau to both schools in an unfair distance for a child to walk especially Infants aged children (3-7). This would be considerably worse in the Winter months. Also with some children in full-time and some in part-time this could means numerous trips to and from school in one day. Traffic around the school is already an issue and this could lead to further increase in traffic flow around the school. We feel no consideration has been taking in declaring the route to school as a "safe route". There are being no extra measures introduced to increase the safety of our children. Public transport is not an option as we only have one bus every hour, which would either make you 40 minutes early for school or 20 minutes late.202 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Anna Jones

Urgent need for traffic lights at the lethal junction of Linley Lane/Linley Road - Alsager.In 2001 Alsager resident Graham Lownes died at the age of 36 in a collision at the junction. His family asked for traffic lights to make the junction safer back then, they are still waiting 17 years later. Crashes happen regularly at that dangerous junction, with another one just last weekend. We want action from Cheshire East council now. We demand traffic lights to be installed with no further delay.328 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jo Dale

Let's get a safe crossing at Clermiston PrimaryThere have been a lot of near misses with pedestrians, I witnessed a cyclist being knocked off his bike at school pick up time. I have seen numerous car accidents (all be it minor ones) which could of been a child. I think campaigns to get parents to use their cars less has failed and unfortunately some people are still being selfish and parking in forbidden zones. An area to cross safely away from the chaos will potentially save a child's life. Let's get as many signatures as possible to tell the council that we want and need a crossing!290 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Charlotte Goldsmith

Stop Closure of Overground Ticket Offices in West Hampstead and ElsewhereOur ticket offices provide an incredible valuable service to residents and to the many thousands of people who interchange between tube and other rail services every day. The helpful staff sell tickets for any rail journey in the UK. They provide an enquiry and Oyster top up service, to fill the gap left by the closure by Boris Johnson of our tube station ticket office. They provide help for the many visitors from abroad who travel through West Hampstead. Members of the local amenity group, West Hampstead Amenity & Transport, have told us that, if they could not easily buy mainline tickets, they would go by car instead. When our Tube ticket closed, the busy tube station at West Hampstead was - and still is - frequently left unstaffed with the barriers open. It seems that this was caused by former ticket office staff leaving and not being replaced. This in turn encourages crime and anti-social behaviour by allowing anyone to enter the system without a ticket. The same thing could happen on the Overground, which is one of the most successful rail projects anywhere in the country. TfL's website states that this is a “Modernisation of Customer Service”, whereas in fact no improvements are specified in the documents that they have supplied, and the move will worsen the service for passengers who need help and/or those who need to use a ticket office. The proposals appear to have been based on inaccurate figures for the number of tickets sold and they fail to reflect the value of having a national rail enquiry office in local communities. If this methodology were used on the whole national railway system, there would be hardly any railway ticket offices left across the whole country, and whole swathes of the UK would be without a retail facility for purchasing tickets. Finally, if the ticket office at West Hampstead is closed we've been told that the ticket office in the new West Hampstead Overground station will be built! The station is under construction at the moment, and the design of the station will be changed to exclude a ticket office from the building project. Therefore, we must fight the plans.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by John Saynor / West Hampstead Amenity & Transport (WHAT)

Free Parking in Wollaton ParkBecause greater access to the park will improve and lengthen lives across the city. The regular parking charge in Wollaton Park is a tax on the people of the city impeding access to the health benefits of green space. An disincentive where there should be an incentive. Citing Michael Marmot, the team at Public Health England have written a report titled 'Local action on health inequalities: Improving access to green spaces'; quoting from the report directly, this is the Summary: 1. There is significant and growing evidence on the health benefits of access to good quality green spaces. The benefits include better self-rated health; lower body mass index, overweight and obesity levels; improved mental health and wellbeing; increased longevity. 2. There is unequal access to green space across England. People living in the most deprived areas are less likely to live near green spaces and will therefore have fewer opportunities to experience the health benefits of green space compared with people living in less deprived areas. 3. Increasing the use of good quality green space for all social groups is likely to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequalities. It can also bring other benefits such as greater community cohesion and reduced social isolation. 4. Local authorities play a vital role in protecting, maintaining and improving local green spaces and can create new areas of green space to improve access for all communities. Such efforts require joint work across different parts of the local authority and beyond, particularly public health, planning, transport, and parks and leisure. http://www.hullpublichealth.org/assets/PHE/Briefing8.pdf The council claim to raise £300,000 revenue from parking charges. They do not account for the capital or ongoing costs directly associated with collection of that revenue. The indirect cost to the cafes, attraction and shops within the park, from deterred customers is also not considered material by the council. Thinking long term, recognising that the council will continue to look after the people of the city for perpetuity and the rising cost of social care, would the books be better balanced with a healthier elderly population in 10, 20, 30, 100 years time? The charge should be removed.204 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Matthew Spowage

Don't charge children adult prices on bus before 9amBecause they are children not adults and its an offence not to send our children to school.. children also have to be in school by 8.45 so why should children have to be charged an adult price when they have no choice in what time they have to travel to school198 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Kristi Wright

Visitor Parking Permits In MedwayYou are removing the annual visitor permit for residents in permit parking zones. The daily parking permits have increased in price by 100%, from £1 to £2. This directly affects the residents who live in areas without off road parking, usually smaller cheaper properties than those who live in non permit roads with off road parking. This means instead of paying £35 a year for a visitor permit, people could have to spend £730 a year to use a daily permit every day of the year. This is a 1986% increase, which is a huge financial increase to residents.4,371 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Aimée Geraghty

Make Crown Steet a one way streetFollowing a series of accidents and some very serious as people either fail to stop or speed down Crown Street something needs to be done. Double yellow lines have failed to reduce the problems. Crown street/ St John Street junction is opposite a children’s park and has a nursery on it. Turning it into a one way street or dead end would prevent potential injuries and reduce the risk of a fatality.166 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Suzanne Steele

Stop Speeding on New Barge Pier RoadThroughout the year residents on the Garrison Estate in Shoeburyness are blighted by noise pollution and anti-social behaviour due to New Barge Pier Road being turned into a race track late into the evening. Often the noise generated from scooters, bikes and cars carries on into the early hours of the morning. New Barge pier road is a flat road with a sweeping curve and a hard stop at one end; providing the perfect race track. However, the noise from these drag races disturbs residents on a nightly basis especially during the summer months. As the road can be fairly quiet during daylight hours; this can encourage cars to speed; and given the very close proximity to a public park, nature reserve, primary school and play ground, not to mention 400 + households in the local vicinity; notwithstanding the late night noise pollution, speeding cars are wholly at odds with the number of families, children and animals that come into contact with the road based on the public use encouraged by facilities in the local area. Furthermore, despite the best efforts from the police; given the lack of police resources; residents are simply 'fed up' and at odds with the slow response to late night drag racing. As such we the petitioners believe that traffic calming measures applied to New Barge Pier road will dramatically reduce speeding which in turn will aid the reduction of anti-social behaviour that blights this specific area. This should also reduce the need to call upon already massively strained police resources to attend such matters.201 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Phil Coombe

Student discount for fuelAs a college student who drives to college, I fill up my car with petrol around every 7-10 days. I am roughly putting in around £25-£30 every time. I am going to University in September and if I choose to commute (which may be the cheapest option), I will be driving 38.6 miles a day. As a student who is doing a full time course which is very time consuming, finding a way to earn money is crucial to survive. I am aware there is student discount for using public transport, for shops, restaurants etc. but what about reducing the price of fuel? I am a strong believer that this could benefit a lot of students. Petrol is so expensive. Driving my own vehicle will give me the flexibility to work after lectures.177 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Clara Knight

Return new trains to Inverclyde and give commuters the service we pay for.Inverclyde commuters have faced annual increases for travelling on the Gourock/Wemyss Bay to Glasgow lines. A yearly season ticket now costs £1796 from Gourock to Glasgow. Despite this high cost and record numbers of passengers on these routes, we have seen modern class 380 trains with comfortable seating, heating, toilets and free WiFi removed to cover "driver training" on other routes and had these carriages replaced with the unreliable, 40-year old class 314 trains with none of the amenities of the newer trains. The Scottish government has now said that these old trains could be running from Inverclyde until 2019. We believe that this is unacceptable and that Inverclyde commuters deserve far better. It is not sufficient for Inverclyde's MSP to ask for the carriages to simply be cleaned, we believe they should be replaced. We call on the Scottish transport minister to use his position to return the newer class 380 trains to Inverclyde immediately.898 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Alan Holliday
