Everyone deserves to be able to use a regular reliable bus service for a whole range of reasons whether its supporting people who can’t drive to get around independently, to help people commute to work, school, university or college, as well as supporting the need to reduce carbon emissions. Recent decisions by Arriva buses to cut down the routes through Allerton Bywater and Kippax have made many resident's journeys to work, study and health services more difficult and we call on Arriva Buses to put back the routes they have cut on the October 3rd changes.

North Cornwall is predominantly rural, linked by narrow winding roads. With the older population emerging from the pandemic into a transformed world, changes in bus services, timetables, and schedules have impacted the community. Accessing NHS appointments, commuting to work, and attending social gatherings have become challenging for residents. https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/2zapavgh/ltp-summary-document-52380-web.pdf The Plymouth City bus service we receive here in North Cornwall is not delivering on The Transport Plan.

Greener, congestion buster, faster and more reliable mode of transport then road building and travel by road. As in some systems on the continent, light rail could also be used by goods as well as people. Also its clean as it runs off overhead electric catenary wires.

The current 389 bus service through Ridge Hill from Arlies Lane currently operates hourly from 8:01am. Transport for Greater Manchester are implementing a change to an hourly service from 7:33am at the end of the month. We are calling on TfGM to reconsider this change as many residents that live on Ridgehill rely on the 389 service. Not least children that need to get to school on Yew Tree Lane at 8:22am for start of form time at 8:40am, who will now either have to get to school an hour early, with knock on effects for the school or risk being late.

This campaign is important as it is the principle of airlines doing what they like and thinking they can get away with breaking the law knowingly. Many hundreds of posts I have read on Facebook shows that passengers are not receive compensation on the timescale agreed by law and often many are chasing them up endlessly or taking them to the small claims court in the UK to retrieve their entitled money. No one should have to do this and spend more money to receive the money!! Wizz Air needs to be held accountable for their actions

Despite pre-tax profits of £44.1 million, Stagecoach have decided to re-arrange Services from Barnstaple to Exeter via Tiverton by removing bus 155; and adding extra services to cover Barnstaple to Southmolton, and Southmolton to Tiverton. They have also changed the bus between Southmolton and Tiverton to service 346 and reduced the number of services in a day, from 9 to 7 - removing these vital bus journeys needed for workers and College students living in the rural areas between these destinations. This is against the transformation of bus services, simpler fares, thousands of new buses, improved routes and higher frequencies promised by the PM in 'Bus Back Better: national bus strategy for England'. We request that all cuts to this service are stopped and services returned. A Case Study - a student at Exeter College living between Barnstable and Tiverton will now have to leave home at 6.15 to get to College by 9 and will have to wait around for over 1 hour for College to start. A similar wait will happen on return which means they won't get home until 19.40pm. This will further negatively impact on students with support needs whose safety has not been considered in this decision and whose safety will be compromised leaving home in darkness and returning home in darkness. There will be many such cases across the area the former 155 service covers. The worst but very real scenario is that passengers are being made vulnerable by this decision. Our Campaign for Change will make sure Bus Services are returned to their previous times and routes so individuals can travel freely and safely. People before profits. Stop Rearranging Services. Keep and make users safe.

Students are being discriminated against. There is NO risk to the public above the level of a fully trained driver when they are being supervised by qualified driving instructors. If they are unable to practice - they will fail their driving tests This malpractice forms Discrimination on the basis of age as most learner drivers are 17-21 years old

1. Reduce Car Travel on the A76 between Cumnock, Mauchline and Kilmarnock / Glasgow and beyond. 2. Increase and Boost Tourism to the East Ayrshire Area. 3. Reduce Accidents on the busy A76. 4. Increase Train travel, which is better for the environment.

Many people have told us that they find this junction to be scary, and some people avoid the area with their bikes. This is due to a slippery and very uneven surface making it difficult to properly steer a cycle and hand signal. This is especially so when vehicles are in conflict with cyclist's movements. We know that people have sustained injuries, either due to other vehicles hitting them or by slipping and sustaning a broken limb. By ignoring this danger for vulnerable road users for so many years, SWT and SCC are both in breach of their 'duty of care'. Yet it is the heart of town routes that people wish to use. It is one of the 15 hotspots from our 2016 user survey. It is part of the SWT proposed Vivary Park-Station route. Without greater safety here, this route will not be effective. Here are just a few of the many dozens of comments that we have recieved: 'Death trap as it’s so wobbly. Never risked going round in the rain.' 'The cobbles are so bumpy and dangerously slippery in wet weather and makes it impossible to signal to other motorists where you are exiting. Both hands need to be on the handlebars to be able to maintain control of the bike.' 'The cobbles and ridges between mean that the bike wheel gets stuck in the ruts and therefore difficult to steer. Need to hold very tight to handle-bars - therefore impossible to make signals to other road users. Also very prone to wobbling across the traffic because to the ruts.' 'The cobbles are dangerous as I feel that my tyres will slip, especially in wet weather. Also, the jolting on my bike is uncomfortable and painful. I try to avoid cycling on this part whenever possible.' 'vibration through seat handle bars for no suspension bike. Also bad for walkers on carnival night' 'MotorBike tires slide during wet weather' We supported SWT's High St Fund bid which included funding to provide a safer surface for cycling at the junction. We've been in discussion with SWT on how this would be designed, for several of years. Now SWT say they are pulling this project This is a major let down. They are pulling the scheme because bus priority measures are being considered for East Reach and this might affect the Market St roundabout (although buses currently use the junction in all directions without issues), Our feeling is-they have the funding and improvements have planned for several years. SWT should keep to this . The funding is there to do it. SWT and SCC are in breach of a clear 'duty of care' to address safety problems that affect so many people and should address this.

The roads and pavements of the Castle Point area of Essex have been neglected for years. Many defects have been reported and the response to the poor state of the roads and pavements has been woeful. These defects are a serious danger to the people of Castle Point and those who travel around the area. Millions of pounds are sent to ECC from Castle Point Council tax payers each year but the effort put into repairs to roads and pavements in Castle Point is totally inadequate. There needs to be a rapid improvement and much more transparency around record keeping by ECC so progress can be measured. Bland reassurances that all is well when clearly it is not are not acceptable. This situation must be rectified. The safety of road and pavement users in Castle Point is being put at risk because of poor maintenance. This is not acceptable.

Cuts to the 155 bus timetable mean that the earliest service arrives in Chatham too late to be of use to morning commuters and school pupils while the last service leaves for Borstal too early in the afternoon to take them home. In its current form the timetable is likely to further discourage bus use at a time when the environmental need has never been greater and the cost of living for working people is rocketing. Our local economy depends on people being able to get to and from work on public transport. These simple changes to the timetable would not restore bus frequency to previous levels but would at least allow commuters to once again rely on the 155 route to use public transport to get to and from work and school.

I started this petition, having researched a prior unsuccessful petition by the UK government between 2010-2015. Circumstances and environment around the station have changed since, ie there are many more users of the footbridge, hence a new approach to the petition is required, ie we need to create awareness and spread the word. I use the footbridge to cross from West to East with my 19-month-old and our pushchair. He is walking, but still needs guidance up and down steps. I also have to keep hold of his hand, as he is tempted to jump and run and whizz around. The dilemma I have is, that I must also carry our pushchair across. There is no choice of carrying one or the other across, so we have to make our way across together. I carry the pushchair on my shoulder, while holding on to my son’s hand /harness (trusting him to hold onto the banister that is really too high for him) and holding onto the banister myself in order to steady myself. Some days I am assisted by a friendly person, a parent, a mum, a runner, a train passenger, who all offer to carry my pushchair across. It is exhausting to try and do this journey every day, twice a day, 5 days a week and more. I do see other people struggling across the bridge with other items, shopping bags (or wheelie shopping baskets), bicycles, scooters etc. The footbridge and one platform are not accessible to wheelchair users (apart from the platform serving trains from Castle Bar Park to West Ealing). That excludes anyone wishing to travel to West Ealing to connect to the Elizabeth Line and any destination beyond.

For example Brent Valley Park, Brent Lodge Park, Pitshanger Park, Cleveland Park, Cuckoo Park; including the sports facilities available within these parks (Pitshanger FC Clubhouse, Will to Win, Drayton Manor Playing Field, Ealing Hanwellians Cricket Club etc.) RE 2. State and condition of the footbridge All of the treads are worn and uneven. Some of the nosing (tip of the stair) is either worn or has fallen off Backs of stairs are either rusty or one of them has come away and there is no back Structure is uneven. Structure is unsafe and has a temporary fix. Stairs only for East station approach. Ramp access for West station approach. No colour contrast or bubble pavement at the bottom of the stairs of station approach, only for footbridge platform to platform. RE 3. Available funds The recent Building Developments in the area and immediate vicinity (Alton Court by copleyhanwellw7.co.uk and Ipswich Court by copleyhanwellw7.co.uk) would have contributed a Community Infrastructure Level to the local council (EBC). They would have qualified for CIL and in turn this levy payment would have presented EBC with reasons and means to review transport and other factors in the area and spend the levy according to what is needed. This footbridge and the general surrounding infrastructure have been ignored. RE 4. Design criteria for footbridges (CD353), Highway Structures & Bridges Design Present condition and structure of footbridge do not match standards. Status: 20/07/2022 - additional info and corrections
