Electric Cars Shouldn't cost any more than Petrol CarsWhy should the public bear the cost of pollution? The Government is being fined to breaching pollution laws , the cost of the fines could help pay for economical electric cars. Reducing carbon pollution will not just help save the planet but will save many lives from the toxic diesel & petrol emissions. The Government is not doing enough to tackle pollution.6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by David Harrison

Scot Rail timetable Disadvantaging Areas North of DundeeIndividuals who do not have their own transport have had opportunities to work in towns and cities reduced. Individuals with transport have had the option to help reduce their carbon footprint seriously limited as direct rail travel is not available at peak times.177 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Shereen Kenyon

Give people more time to pay the Mersey Gateway Bridge tollSome people don’t have access to a bank account. Some people may rely on paying by Payzone and may have to wait for nearby shops to be open before being able to pay. Some people may have disabilities and find using the automated system a problem. Some people may not have internet access. Some people may be elderly and find it hard to deal with technology, and may struggle to pay so quickly. Many people end up with penalty charge notices simply because they forget to pay their toll, and most of those people have been using the Runcorn Bridge for a long time and are used to it being free. Giving people 7 days to pay their toll will help those who find it hard to pay more time, and stop Merseyflow from being perceived as highway robbers from the millions of pounds they collect in charges. This one simple action would improve the public perception of this organisation, help thousands of law abiding citizens from making a simple mistake, whilst still routing out those intent on taking advantage of the system. Please support this petition and force Merseyflow to change their attitude towards the public they serve. Thank you.415 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Rob Scott

SEATBELTS ON PUBLIC BUSESAfter being involved in an accident recently and gaining whiplash from it, thankful only whiplash but someone could have been in a worse state than myself all because buses don't have seatbelts, some go down the motorways at the national speed limit without having belts for the passengers. I think we should make it law because normally on the way to college we have secondary school children as well as college and elderly. We need to act on it now as it becomes more apparent that buses can be involved in accidents on the road.12 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amelia Norton

Make Tuttles Lane 30mphOver the past few years there has been an increase in the volume of traffic along Tuttles Lane, mainly due to the new housing that has been built in Wymondham and the expansion of Robert Kett, Ashleigh and Browick Road schools to full primary schools. More people are crossing Tuttles Lane near the Melton Road junction to access the "Paws For Play" dog walking field and pedestrians have commented that it no longer feels safe to walk along Tuttles Lane, particularly during the rush hour when the volume of traffic is at its greatest. Local drivers have observed that it has become more difficult and dangerous to negotiate the junctions with Barnham Broom Road, Melton Road and Hewitts Lane and some residents struggle to safely exit their driveways. The time has come to reduce the existing speed limit of 40mph along Tuttles Lane down to 30mph. Part of the road has already been reduced to 30mph (the section from the Garden Centre to the Waitrose roundabout) and we believe that making the speed limit 30mph along the entire road will be safer for everyone. We therefore ask Norfolk County Council to respect the wishes of the residents of Wymondham and make Tuttles Lane a 30mph speed limit road.180 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Clare Suter

Install roundabout at dangerous junctionThis is a dangerous and time consuming junction to negotiate from the Warminster direction. Also- the slip road to turn onto A362 towards Warminster is too small.920 of 1,000 SignaturesCreated by Colin Sampson

Congestion & Pollution Charges for Blackcab UsersLondon Blackcabs drive an estimated 460 million miles/year. Up to 50% of those miles are empty. [1] December 2018 study stated that some blackcabs emit up to 30 times more pollution than equivalent private cars! [2] As even ambulances have to pay the mayor's pollution charge, then black cabs should not be exempted. Blackcabs carry only 1% of all trips in London.[3] But blackcabs make up to 40% of all cars & 20% of all traffic in cczone. [4] Blackcabs are exempt from congestion & pollution charges, but minicab drivers are paying the congestion charge once per day from April 8th. New York imposed a congestion charge on cab-users rather than cabbies and that is what we want. Tyre & road particulates created by cars and cabs are carcinogenic and damage the lungs of our kids for life. Even new electric cars & cabs emit large amounts of these lethal particulates. We need fewer as well as cleaner cabs. Blackcabs are not public-transport. For the health of those using buses, walking and cycling, for London's economy & to reduce climate emissions the charge needs to be added. Those with disabilities would be exempted from the cab-user charge. Petition hosted by Stop Killing Cyclists. Please share on social media. Thank you! ___ Notes: 1. Blackcabs drive 468 million miles: Nov 2018 TfL data said there are 23,400 blackcabbies. Insure Taxi survey found average blackcabbie mileage is 20,000 miles per annum. 2. Blackcabs emit up to 30 times more lethal NOx than equivalent cars: True Report Dec. 2018 3. Blackcabs make up just 1% of all trips: TfL Report Travel in London Report 10. Pg. 22. 4. Cabs (mini + black) make up 64% of cars in cczone: travel In London Report 9 Table 6.6 pg. 187. Blackcabs make up 20% of total traffic when you include buses & trucks, private hire vehicles 12%, and private cars 18%. Blackcabs thus make up 40% of just cars in cczone.1,819 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Stop Killing Cyclists

Connect St Neots to Cambridge by railSt Neots is the largest town in Cambridgeshire with local area expansion plans to double in size over the next decade. There are a vast array of professionals already commuting to Cambridge but mainly along congested and polluted roads and many more would like to trade their London train commute for Cambridge. St Neots is a great hub and should not be forgotten in one of the greatest infrastructure investments we will have seen in a century.1,627 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Michelle Woodbridge

Decent transport infrastructure for the north of EnglandWe've been neglected by successive governments. For the economy of the whole country this is essential as well as for the health and well being of our citizens. To meet climate change targets we need fewer polluting cars on our roads and this will only happen with efficient, reliable public transport. Too many people have difficult and stressful journeys each day because of a broken, inefficient and neglected transport system. Urgent action is needed NOW not by 2030.28 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Pauline Hanwell

Let 26-30 year-olds get a railcard without a smartphoneThe new 26-30 railcard was made available to the public at the start of 2019. However, unlike all other railcards - including the 16-25 and senior railcards - it is available 'digital only'. This means that only 26-30 year-olds possessing an Apple iPhone or Google Android mobile 'phone who download the railcard app can get one. It seems unfair to assume that people of this age-group must have a smartphone, or to require them to get one, when people of other age-groups eligible for a railcard are able to use a physical, paper or plastic railcard instead. As a 26 year-old without a mobile 'phone, I find access to nearly all services and opportunities is quite straightforward without one, and believe that this should remain the case in future. I'm no Luddite, I just don't feel that I want or need a mobile. When I was 25, this certainly didn't stop me having a 16-25 railcard. I can see no reason why I should be barred from getting the new railcard now I'm 26 and struggling just as much to afford rail fares. Not everyone aged 26-30 has a mobile 'phone, and we shouldn't be expected to become customers of Apple or Google - both of which are huge multinational companies with a lot of power and influence as it is - in order to take advantage of the chance to have affordable rail fares. Young people are already struggling to afford the growing expense of travel, which is why the new railcard was introduced in the first place. Please don't expect us to pay hundreds of pounds for a smartphone in order to get it! I'm petitioning for the right to choose to get a physical railcard instead, just like everyone else who's entitled to one.521 of 600 SignaturesCreated by Tobias Thornes

Cyclehoop Bikehangars for Balmoral/ Osborne/ Buxton/ Windsor Road (Willesden Green area)I used to cycle to work in the summer and at weekends but storing my bike is a real problem. I used to lock it up outside my home until it was stolen. Now, it is rusting in my back garden when I am not trying to manoeuvre it through my home by any weather. There are many benefits to cycling - environmental, financial, social (with friends and family), physical and mental health and just pure enjoyment. I know many more people would cycle but cannot as: - Live in a flat - don't have outside space/ shed - Live in a terraced house - Have to carry bike up/ down stairs - Want to start cycling but no point buying bike as no convenient storage - Don't have space for all family bikes I have been trying to campaign to have Cyclehoop Bikehangars https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars in the local area for the past 6 months by contacting councillor, Deborah Huckle ([email protected]). I alongside another neighbour, would fill a whole bikehangar just with both our families - thus rendering the financing of the bikehangar viable. In October 2018, Ms Huckle shared the following update " Balmoral Road is on the list I passed to Cyclehoop last week for them to conduct a site visit to identify the best location for a bikehangar, following this we need to conduct a public consultation to ensure the majority of local residents are in support and then finally we get sign off from our Head of Service. I would estimate the whole process to take around 6 months." I know there is a lot of interest for this sort of scheme in our side of the borough and in Brent in general. Compared to other councils in London there are very few bikehangars in Brent. Once this local campaign is successful for mentioned streets/ area - I am happy to roll this out to a bigger area such as Willesden Green. However, first I want to understand the impact of a local campaign. Councillors are very keen to see the financial viability of this scheme on pockets of areas in a borough. To keep up the pressure and ensure we secure bikehangar(s) where we desire, could you please sign this petition. Please also contact Brent Council https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/contact-council AND Cyclehoop https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars to express your interest for this scheme. Once we have achieved sufficient support I will take the petition to Deborah Huckle so she can use it to continue to back the case with Brent Council for our local area.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by C .
