Elderly, disabled and the vulnerable are effected by the lack of social mobility, inherent in this exclusion as a service. This includes public sector workers, those working at Blackberry Hill Hospital the UWE training site, UBHT and also any new housing developments being built. That impacts on the economic and social well-being of the city and people that use Number 5 Bus Route. None of the people using the route or that filled in the survey including my self were asked. Wether we would like any part of the service to be commercialised. Leading to NO public consultation by the council around these planned changes, including whether the council will guarantee any shortfall of provision if the commercial operator does not fulfil the void under Public Sector Transport. The Mayor talked about looking at transport as an issue here is his chance. To do something positive about that very issue.

It is not just families on benefits who are struggling to make ends meet and a charge of over £500 per year is a huge burden to those families who are not now eligible for a free bus pass . Free school transport is an essential for all those who live more than reasonable walking distance from school. This change penalises hard working families.

Moorwell Place sits at the bottom of Eccleshill Recreation Ground. It is public right of way and the only pedestrian footpath leading from Moorside Road to the footpath that runs down the side of the recreation ground, by the bowling green. It is used by the residents of Eccleshill, including Parents with toddlers and pushchairs, children on their way to school, cyclists, followers of the Eccleshill History Trail and many others, along with the residents of the street. At present, it is in a sorry state. It is muddy and full of deep potholes, making it extremely unsafe. It is inaccessible to mobility vehicles/wheelchairs. For a number of years, the residents of Moorwell Place have asked the council to maintain the road which, although they have previously acknowledged responsibility for, they have refused to maintain in an effective manner. More recently the residents have been told that the road is an “unadopted road” and the council have refused to undertake any maintenance work. After some investigation, it has been established that the road was in fact created by the local board (the council) in 1864 and as such cannot be deemed an unadopted road – it is in fact a road created by the council in 1864 and they have failed to maintain it. Further evidence suggests that a court case in 1864 established that the council were responsible for the creation of the road – but that it must remain part of the recreation ground "intact" forever. Council asset management documents show that the road is part of the recreation ground which is a registered village green. The council are owners and managers of the village green and are responsible for its maintenance.

Having held a full car driving license since 1995 I feel very insulted and stupid that I can only ride a 50cc moped without L plates. I'm 6'2 a push bike can go faster than me on a 50cc just imagine how fast I can go with a pillion very dangerous. I've been disabled for the last 8 years and had my motability car taken away due to cutbacks. I cannot afford to buy a car let alone keep one on the road, the only way I can go anywhere is on a 50cc moped which is dangerously slow so I traded it in for a 125cc scooter now I have to find 100 every 2 years for a CBT and display L plates if I want to go anywhere with my wife she has to get the bus, I can't get the bus because I can't walk far enough to get to the bus stop.

To ease traffic and congestion and reduce financial losses to business.

A safe crossing is needed for children and adults to cross for school, nursery, shops and bus stop. Since there is no longer a post for a lollipop person the road has become difficult and dangerous to cross.

According to staff manning an information stand relating to the new station it will come at a cost of £18 million. - At least £4 million of this will be found through the local council (local residents). - Around 1 in 4 residents in established Penketh and Sankey will be disadvantaged by the new plans. - Services at Sankey station will be significantly reduced. Still not clear: - What about elderly residents who rely on Sankey Station? - What will happen to Sankey Station? Will it fall into disrepair? We need a say & we need to know more!

Other counties such as Nottinghamshire, Devonshire, East Sussex do pay for companion bus passes for carers of disabled people. They get grants for the government to do it. It is a discretionary thing not a mandatory. However, Lack of the findings for other counties is jeopardising people's independence as it is unfair and immoral for carers to having to pay to go on a bus with a disabled person.

This service is an essential link for the elderly who use it to access the shops in Broadstairs and St. Peter's and Margate, to attend the GP's surgery, to go to friends and generally to lead an independent life. Cutting out the lower part of Broadstairs High Street and taking away the stop in Hopeville Avenue will seriously affect many. Re-routing via Carlton Avenue and Green Lane makes the service much less user-friendly.

This is a dangerous junction at most time and is really bad at the school run time, sometimes the traffic backs up to way past the St. Brendan's Church and beyond. Also can cause a hazard at the Zebra Crossing. Seen many a near miss here as some people turn left then do a u-turn at the right turning a bit further down.

When the bypass was built this was a small side road now it is a main road into the town , with two local schools that cross at the bottle neck, traffic calming implementations are totally inadequate and parking is none existent we need it sorted before a major accident happens
