• Improved Road Safety measures around Chyngton Primary School
    Chyngton Primary School has grown significantly over the decades and now has a roll of nearly 400 pupils. Over the same period the number of children being driven to school has also risen dramatically according to government figures. As a result, the residential roads around the school have become increasingly congested and dangerous at school drop-off and pick-up times. Existing safety provisions such as zig-zag lines and the voluntary one-way system are difficult to enforce and ineffective. Children are at risk crossing the roads near the school, this means fewer children are walking to school, and more come by car, even for short journeys, exacerbating the problem. Access for emergency vehicles is severely impeded, and local residents frequently have access and driveways blocked by inconsiderate parking. More needs to be done to keep the children, parents and public safe around Chyngton school.

  • Make Dalreoch Railway Station in Scotland Accessible with a Footbridge & Lifts System
    It is important for those with disabilities, and those who cannot access Platform 2. It is important because people should care about those with major disabilities and those who care about a 21st century station.

  • Make Dullar Lane Safe Again!
    This route is very popular with cyclists as it is practically the only viable way to cycle between the wider Wimborne area and Purbeck. Around 23,000 motor vehicles traverse the A31 at this location every day. It's arguably even more dangerous for motorists as occupying a car or van places the driver’s head an extra 6-8 feet behind the Give Way lines restricting visibility even further. Indeed the majority of near misses I’ve witnessed at this location involve drivers on Dullar Lane attempting to cross or join the A31.

  • Restore bus connections between Upper Tean, Blythe Bridge and Longton
    The construction of over 150 houses currently ongoing across the village would mean yet another increase in the number of people residing here. Therefore, I believe the current transport available to residents of Upper Tean is unsustainable.   At present, the 6A runs every 30 minutes from Blythe Bridge to Hanley via Meir Park, Meir, Longton and onwards to Hanley. I am not proposing that all services terminate in Upper Tean, but one in two would still make a difference amongst all demographics and bus users in the village.  Blythe Bridge is home to the other local Doctor’s surgery in our practice of Tean and Blythe Bridge. It is also home to the closest train station to our village and direct connectivity with Blythe Bridge will mean shorter journey times into Stoke by train. Beyond Blythe Bridge is Meir Park where many of the villagers shop for groceries, then Meir, home to the Meir Primary Care Centre - a vital NHS service for residents of the whole constituency and a centre in which residents in Tean require to visit frequently for blood tests, district nurses and vaccinations amongst others. Connection along the 6A would also be beneficial due to the bus route passing through Longton. Here, along with Hanley are the remaining branches of banks, which have moved out of towns such as Cheadle. The extension of the 6A every hour to Tean would mean an alternative route to Hanley too and a direct route to the busy Victoria road home to many retailers large and small. I appreciate this is ambitious but the benefits to the residents of Tean would be excellent and get more people using bus services to the areas they currently have to use cars and taxis to get to.

  • Tackle the safety issues caused by "rat-running" along Furber Road.
    The road is too narrow for the amount of traffic using it now.  Since major roadworks at the Bryants Hill/Kingsway junction, we have had articulated lorries getting stuck in the residential lane that is Furber Road

  • Reduce noise pollution from the Victoria Line
    The noise pollution is affecting the lives of those who live in properties above or close to the tunnels. The noise - which has become significantly louder recently - takes away many of the usual comforts expected of a home, interrupts sleep and makes the house an unwelcome place to be. The very high frequency of the Victoria Line only compounds these problems.

  • 20's Plenty for Wellington
    Lowering the speed limit provides significant benefits to all road users, including •  Reduced severity of collisions •  Reduced frequency of collisions •  Increased cycling and walking confidence Slower speeds save lives, particularly where the road is shared with people walking, cycling or riding a motorbike. A person walking is up to five times more likely to be killed if hit by a vehicle travelling at 30mph than if they were hit at 20mph. To support more people to walk and cycle around Wellington, we must reduce the risk of death and serious injury. Lowering traffic speeds can also make our streets less polluted and safer places to walk and cycle. See more information on 20mph speed limits. This campaign is being supported by The Big House Co.

  • Requesting an urgent review of the Carholme Community Travel Zone in Lincoln
    There are numerous travel challenges in Carholme Ward, which was last reviewed by LCC Highways two decades ago. There are issues with safe walking and cycling, especially for children going to/from school on foot or by bike. The 20mph area has increasing traffic levels, with many vehicles using the area as a cut-through between Yarborough Road and Carholme Road, regularly ignoring existing one-way streets. Parking is problematic for residents and visitors to the area. The area could benefit from a review of active travel opportunities and an assessment of how road markings could be improved to increase safety.

  • Pay-per-mile car tax
    Pay-per-mile in the uk is something which may be on the cards very soon. The people of the UK already being battered by rising costs of everything, including gas, electric, Council tax, water to name but a few, cannot afford another hike such as this which will see some drivers paying over £1000 just to get to work each year. Getting all drivers to pay per mile will have a adverse affect on tourism, businesses, import and export as well as the average person in the street who owns a car. Could this not lend itself to some businesses laying off staff to try and combat the rising prices, some businesses closing down with the same affect and some people who will just not be able to afford to go to work. The consequence of the action of bringing in such a idiotic pay-per-mile scheme could be far reaching. STOP the pay-per-mile scheme... Please sign the petition and show your support to stop another stealth tax, please get this to go viral so we are listened to.

  • A new bus route from St Paul's Cray to Bromley
    This will enable St Paul's Cray residents to travel directly by bus to the main town in the borough.  At present people have to either go by train, which is expensive or by car.  As the public transport route is either expensive or long, most people travel by car.  We want to see affordable alternatives to help reduce traffic and offer more choice.  At present to go to Bromley from St Paul's Cray you have to either go to Sidcup or Orpington, making the time it takes, far too long, a direct route will help reduce bus timesand increase use of public transport.

  • National Rail make a rail card for two or more people that say only lasts 6 months.
    Myself and my fiance currently buy the two together railcard, but it costs £30 a year, but we only use it when we buy our tickets at the train station and to show the conductors on the trains going to and coming back from visiting my fiance's family in the Northeast of England and we live in the Northwest. Neither of us can drive. There needs to be more choice as not everyone needs a railcard that lasts for a year especially if the people who use the card only use it once in an entire year.

  • Stop rip off train ticket machines
    Train travel is expensive, but did you know buying a ticket from a machine at the station could cost you more than twice the price compared to buying online? This is because the best value fares are either unavailable or hidden among several options on many machines. Consumer group Which? found in its research that there were several factors why a ticket machine may be more expensive. Some may not offer cheaper advance fares or split-ticketing, or make off-peak fares less visible. We need to strike while the iron is hot and demand they stamp out this rip-off way of doing business once and for all.
