Keep ticket offices open on London OvergroundArrival Rail London and Transport for London have recently launched a public consultation on their regressive plans to close 51 ticket offices on the London Overground Network. http://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/news/view?id=715&x[0]=news/list (Consultation closing date 11th October) Staffed ticket offices are vital on our rail network as ticket vending machines simply do not offer the range of tickets many passengers need, often overcharging people in the process: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ticket-machines-still-ripping-off-rail-passengers-says-watchdog-3vgjcllbf Passengers at unstaffed stations also face regular delays to buy tickets as there are rarely enough ticket vending machines to meet demand at peak times. Station staff in ticket offices also regularly provide a point of human contact for passengers improving safety and enabling disabled passengers to travel with confidence. Proposed ticket offices to be closed are: Acton Central, Anerley, Brondesbury, Brondesbury Park, Bruce Grove, Bush Hill Park, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, Camden Road, Canonbury, Carpenders Park, Clapton, Dalston Kingsland, Dalston Junction, Finchley Road & Frognal, Gospel Oak, Hackney Central, Hackney Downs, Hackney Wick, Haggerston, Hampstead Heath, Hatch End, Headstone Lane, Homerton, Honor Oak Park, Hoxton, Imperial Wharf, Kensal Rise, Kensington (Olympia), Kentish Town West, Kilburn High Road, Penge West, Rectory Road, Rotherhithe, Shadwell, Shepherds Bush, Shoreditch High Street, Silver Street, South Acton, South Hampstead, Southbury, St James Street, Stamford Hill, Stoke Newington, Surrey Quays, Theobalds Grove, Turkey Street, Wapping, Watford High Street, West Hampstead, White Hart Lane and Wood Street. Please sign this petition and help us keep London Overground's Ticket Offices open.2,067 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Martin Abrams

20mph MaidstoneMaidstone is a highly populated town with plenty of traffic and a centralised population. This means that many residential roads become "rat runs" for cars looking to avoid traffic on the major roads. A 20mph limit will make our residential roads safer.23 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Steve Cheeseman

Return Funding For High School Transport by Catchment AreaEvery parent of a child within Suffolk, that has to rely on funded school transport to High school from September 2019 will have to pay between £600-£800 pounds per child per year for continued transport to their current recognised catchment school. SCC will only fund travel to what it now considers to be a pupils nearest school, but nearest schools admissions policies for year 2019/20 prioritises places for students from its feeder and catchment Primary schools, not students from Primary schools outside of catchment. The financial implications for Suffolk families will be immense. Siblings may have to attend different High schools, as an older child already receiving funded transport will continue to do so but parents may not be able afford to fund a sibling or siblings. There is no guarantee that a child from a non feeder or out of catchment school will be accepted, so parents could be forced to pay for their child to attend a school, occur debt and hardship to do so, have to consider home schooling. SCC sent out an online transport survey this year to parents within Suffolk. According to a report by Councillor (County) Robert Lindsay 3600 responses were received, 85% strongly opposed these proposed changes and 5% opposed, but SCC still passed the changes. School Transport should be free and funded for all pupils.170 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Emma Deacon

Mobility Aids Center Totton, Hampshire must remain insitu.The sudden announcement that Totton, Hampshire Mobility Aids Center should close on the 12th October 2018 demonstrates a complete disregard for every local resident. The idea of a Mobility Aids Center is to assist those people most in need. I know personally how difficult it is to obtain such resources. Already there are severe limitations to Patient Transport, Community Transport. Being forced to travel to "selected destinations" will instantly be out of reach for local residents affected by the "change. Due to mobility restrictions of residents Fording-bridge and Lymington is impossible and definitely impracticable for the overwhelming majority. Visiting the Mobillity Aid Location in Totton has been my last resort and have been using the service for the past 15 months. Hampshire County Council have a duty of care for her residents. To allow closure is not the answer or a reasonable adjustment. What is certain Geoff Chesire "refuses to acknowledge people in crisis" This can not be ignored. Thank you everyone for your support.433 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Alec Nayler

Let's have lifts at Stroud station£300m of funding has been ear-marked by the Department for Transport to improve access at railway stations. Stroud station should have funding to be inclusive and allow everyone the choice to use rail transport and enjoy a smooth and comfortable journey. At the moment, the alternative route for wheelchair users or those who cannot manage the steps is a difficult route without dropped kerbs, over rough surfaces and with gradients that would be impossible for those not in a motorised wheelchair.1,389 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Kim Cowan

Provide Rail Services at Congleton on Northern Strike DaysOn strike days Northern provide no trains at Congleton and no replacement bus service, their only advice is to walk over a mile to the town centre to catch a bus service that doesn't run anymore. Congleton is the busiest station that is not served on strike days and which has no reasonable alternative. This disrupts a lot of people and has a major negative impact on the town.61 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jack Eadie

Demand Southern Vectis increase capacity on route 1The single deck buses are not big enough and at busier times small children, elderly people and those with mobility issues are forced to stand in cramped conditions with very little to hold on to. This often means that drivers are forced to leave passengers behind as there is no space on board. Also during these periods standing passengers have to get off of the bus in order to allow those sitting at the rear of the bus to alight at their chosen stop. It gets especially bad at the hospital and college stops during peak times.18 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jo Palfrey

Improve access to Exeter St.Thomas Railway StationI am Mason Bell, I am running this petition because the only access to the station is up flights of stairs. These stairs are steep and on one side there are 3 sections of steps to climb. This makes access very difficult for people with disabilities, parents with children in buggies and heavy luggage. I myself am unable to access the station as the stairs are too steep for me. I see lots of people struggle up the steps to the station and a lift or stairlift will make access and easier and be more likely to improve usage of the station.212 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Mason Bell

Increase and improve school transport facilitiesThe stress that is caused by buses not arriving, children being late for school and not being able to get home on time, will all impact on both their academic achievement and their emotional well being, both which will have long term effects on their place in society and society itself.163 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Rachel Murray
