Reduce the speed on Hauxton RoadThe section from the junction with Shelford Road to the junction with Addenbrooke's road is now much more built up than previously. Many children cross this road to attend Trumpington Meadows primary school. Reducing speed by 10mph will reduce the risk of death in a collision by 40%.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Conway Morris

Shut the M8 to traffic for a day and let us have a party!https://www.facebook.com/CarfreeGlasgow/videos/370608413272820/ Glasgow is the only city in the UK to have a six lane motorway cutting right through its heart. Yet, less than half of our households have access to cars. For the last 45 years we have all had to put up with a continual stream of traffic roaring through our city. Enough is enough. We want the chance to breathe fresh air and to hear ourselves think. We need the time and space to come together to start to imagine a more equal and sustainable future for our city. - Scotland has the worst health and lowest life expectancy in Europe. The physical inactivity encouraged by car use is more hazardous to health than smoking: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-18876880 - Glasgow has toxic levels of air pollution that breached World Health Organisation standards in 2016. Air pollution causes strokes, heart attacks and asthma and is responsible for over 300 deaths in our city every year: http://www.foe-scotland.org.uk/air-pollution - A quarter of our city's carbon emissions come from traffic, contributing to dangerous climate change. 2016 was the hottest year on record and the third of record-breaking heat in a row: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/14/2016-will-be-the-hottest-year-on-record-un-says We need bold and inspiring action to begin to address the crises caused by car use. We must radically re-think our cities so that everyone can get around easily and live healthy and happy lives without need or aspiration to own a car. Like many other cities around the world, Glasgow must also start dreaming of a time in the future when the outdated motorway infrastructure of the 20th century can be re-imagined and re-used in different ways. Our annual ‘carfree day’ will be the start.

Disabled parking near Morecambe Post OfficeDisabled people can no longer park near to the parcel collection office. Instead, a taxi rank has been painted where disabled access used to be. Many people with a disability who are unable to walk far can no longer collect their own parcel. This discriminates against disabled people and impacts their independence.669 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Andrea Sutton

KEEP 54 BUS LOOP FOR GOODWOOD, LEICESTEREvington ward has the highest proportion of elderly people in Leicester. Without this 54 bus service, residents along Gamel Walk, Gamel Road, Harringworth Road, Skampton Road, Davenport Road, Withcote Avenue, Oakside Road and Beechwood Close are effectively being cut off from access to medical care, shopping facilities and contact with the outside world. Isolation and loneliness in the elderly costs the NHS a lot of money. If the route was reversed and both the 54 and 54A buses were going the same way, then the turning would be better and there would be less likelihood of congestion.74 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Helen Pettman

Retain local government-run bus servicesLocal authorities are able to provide rural bus services which would not be viable if under private ownership; they can cross subsidise them from more profitable urban services. Local authority bus services must be an option within the Bus Services Bill. In Nottingham, the Nottingham City Transport has invested in electic buses and hydrogen fuelled transport which is reducing air pollution in Nottingham. They are an award-winning service. The private buses are predominantly diesel.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Donald Hawthorn

Fitment of Vehicle Daytime REAR LIGHTSDue to shorter daylight hours in Scandinavia, vehicles there have been fitted with Front Daytime Running Lights. These have recently been introduced on all new vehicles sold in the European Union vehicles. Unfortunately, REAR TAIL Lights ARE NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED! This leads to vehicles being driven in darkness without tail lights, their drivers believing that their tail lights are lit because they see their Front Daytime Running Lights illuminated. I have recently e-mailed Ms. Dianne Abbott, my constituency MP and the Shadow Home Secretary abotu this matter, but I am still awaiting her response.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by PAUL SINGER

Rural Safe School Routes RSSR (Glenavy)This area has become increasingly populated with young families and children. Our children are forced to walk, cross and attempt to make school Transportation in a highly dangerous and om some of the most dangerous pedestrian areas in N.I. There are cars speeding up to 80mph on these roads, and the village doesn't contain one safe passage way for a child. Children are walking and crossing on blind bend's, nonpaved roads and blind spots upro a horrendous 8 times per day with out so much as a pedestrian crossing yet still expected to reach there school transportation in the village Main Street safely. This is particularly unfair for disadvantaged families who have no transportation, are disabled or have disabled children. I wish to raise awareness around my child making it to school everyday alive and that ofnorhers or a safer alternative put in place.as a temporary measure immediately.139 of 200 SignaturesCreated by DEBORAH MCGARRITY

Sandilands tram stop memorial gardenMany many lives within the local community have been touched and sadly affected by the incident at Sandilands. It is only right that a permanent memorial is created nearby where Family, friends and further members of the public can come and pay thier respect. It would be the right to do this given the huge sentiment and sorrow within the local community.4,897 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Andy Southern
