With two primary schools, a community centre with pool and now a local park due to be built by the road the safety of our children and residents is paramount individuals are consistently speeding and using the road as a cut through.

To many children playing, people are speeding. Children have a right to be safe

Because it is a great inconvenience to the local people, I myself, can no longer get to school anymore. Other people have had to leave their jobs because they have no other way of getting into work. It is a disgrace that they can afford a water park in the local area (worth 1.1 million pounds!) But not to fund a crucial service!

The public are facing increasing financial pressure when attending our hospitals this is unfair , exploits hospital users . The increases have risen by 100% on some parking bands .

There is a danger to life. It is not safe to cross as cars often drive round islands to get past. Learner drivers are targeted and as there is a park entrance there are lots of young children about. There have been many reports to Council and Police that justify extra measures but these are largely not producing a response. Local residents have supplied video, photographic and first hand accounts of the driving that is illegal and highly dangerous. There are 20 signs on this road but speeds are often in excess of 60 miles and hour. There have been reports of eye witness and CCTV footage from businesses nearby that has shown near misses and the scale of the problem.

So that blind people can feel comfortable when travelling on public transport and it allows them to have equal opportunites as other people.There have been many times where blind people are disoriented and need to stop fearing getting onto the wrong bus when travelling on public transport. These changes will allow them to know what bus has arrived at the stop. Thank you.

I am extremely disappointed to see that The General Estates Company (http://www.general-estates.co.uk) who own and operate the Bathampton Toll Bridge feels there is justification in increasing the charges from 70p to 80p each way – a 12.5% increase, way above the current rate of inflation at 2.6% and certainly higher than the increase many have received in salary over the last 4 years, since last it increased. Firstly, I have requested from several sources what possible justification there could be for increasing this cost? The Bathampton Mill bridge has for a long time been more expensive, per distance travelled than The Seven Bridge, The Clifton Suspension Bridge and even The Dartford Crossing bridge on the M25. During this time of austerity and nationwide uncertainty, when the cost of living in has never been higher in recent history, how can anyone justify this unfair price hike? The toll bridge takes £1000's of every day from people just trying to get to work, taking their kids to school, operate their business... basically just trying to get on with their busy lives. It is an unjust Tax on honest, local people, when the alternative routes through Bath, Bradford or Limpley Stoke are by no means acceptable alternatives. Yet again we are penalised for simply trying to get to work!! I am sure that many local people chose to cycle or walk when it is viable, but since public transport does not offer an alternative option, the toll bridge is often the only route, unless you have time to drive into Bath or Bradford instead. I have had enough!!! As well as starting this petition, calling on a halt to this increase, I will also pursue a complete stop at best, a reduction at least to the charges to residence of the 3 boughs of Bathford, Batheaston and Bathampton. I will also be making formal complaints to MP's as well as Bath, Bathampton and Batheaston Councils to stop this unjustifiable increase and yet another increased tax on local people. Please support this cause and stop this frustrating and expensive toll.

On a regular basis I encounter drivers causing unnecessary danger simply by moving off from the wrong side of the road. A car that is moving in this situation always has a driver it doesn't always have a passenger who has a clearer view of the road. With a law in place this common dangerous practice would reduce.

We call upon the transport secretary to: 1) Pledge his immediate backing for the Northern Powerhouse Rail programme including a new state-of-the-art 30-minute rail link between Manchester and Leeds – a ‘Crossrail North’; 2) Make an immediate commitment to at least £59 billion ‘catch-up cash’ over the coming decade to support the transport priorities being developed by Transport for the North; 3) Give Transport for the North the same powers as those enjoyed by Transport for London so that it can also raise private finance towards its own transport priorities. The government has announced its backing for the £31bn Crossrail 2 rail scheme in London just days after it has cancelled plans to electrify key rail routes, and rowed back on its long-standing commitment to electrify the trans-pennine link between Manchester and Leeds. Crossrail 2 was NOT in the Conservative Party Manifesto - whereas Northern Powerhouse Rail was! New analysis by IPPR North shows that over the past decade public spending on transport in London has been more than double that in the North – the North would have received £59bn more in investment over the last decade if it had received the same per person for transport as London. This is set to get worse, with planned public and public/private expenditure set at nearly £2000 per head, compared with £400 per head in the North BEFORE Crossrail 2 is taken into account. This is not just a matter of fairness. This is not special pleading. Transport investment needn’t be either/or. But lack of government spending on Northern transport is holding the whole economy back. Northern prosperity is national prosperity.

Bath and Bristol attract visitors from a wide catchment area for cultural events and for pubs and restaurants. Bristol has plans to develop a concert venue next door to the railway station. Thousands of car journeys would be saved by a later train. Thousands of car journeys to existing venues in Bristol and Bath would be saved. I am disabled. I have to rely on others driving to take me to Bath and Bristol for the theatre and concerts. A later train would give me and many like me independence.

Because its ridiculously dangerous driver or pedestrian crossing mean everyone who approaches the highly dangerous cross road are 100% uncertain of who has the righter way. Me. My family and all loved ones the great local area use the junction numerous times a day. Typically only last night I waited 5 minutes to pull out in the time a pedestrian had a car reverse into him. Its only a matter of time until a death occurs. Just observe the junction for a day and see for yourself. Thanks

The Samaritans have a long standing partnership with the railways, working together on suicide prevention techniques, and are entirely run on donations. Any suicide has a devastating effect on the families of the person involved, and also on the train crew and emergency services who deal with everything after the event. I feel that having the Samaritans as an extra option on the refund form would maybe make people think a little, and help the Samaritans prevent future incidents. I know of several people who donate their refunds to the Samaritans (bravo!) however at present they have to claim, wait till they receive it, then make a donation a week or three down the line.. Some people whilst good intentioned may forget to donate or just not think about why they got the refund at that point... I believe that donating directly from the refund form would hugely increase the donations to the Samaritans and could help reduce the number of suicides in the future. This would be of comfort to the families of those with troubles, and also benefit the railway, of which the Samaritans have a long standing partnership with.
