  • First Cymru: Reduce the bus fares!
    I was boarding a bus the other day - i don't take buses often, but with both my parents being busy, it was the only way that I could get into town. I boarded the bus, asked for an under-16 ticket, only to be asked for £1.90. I remember a time when adult tickets were priced at this, and when under-16 tickets were £1.30, which was fair enough. First Cymru have seemed to 'bump up' the fares every couple of months by 10p or so, and it has gotten to the point where I would rather walk into town. Under-16s can't get jobs, so putting the bus fares up every couple of months seems a bit unfair on them. Especially since they are probably going into town to meet with friends, and have a limited amount of money, much like I normally do. This petition could also work with adult fares, I believe that they are now £2.40, as I saw someone buying a ticket the other day. To make this sound worse, a bus in London, which is apparently the most expensive city, only costs £1.50 for a single ticket to go anywhere. I believe that the Swansea fare depends on how many stops you go, but for most people living outside of town, it tends to go to the maximum chargeable fare. First are simply taking advantage of people now that bus companies are no longer ruled by the council.

  • Save our conductors
    We play a vital role in safety, being informative, assisting anyone that might need help in boarding on & off the buses and a friendly face should someone just need a chat. I actually work on routes 24 & 390 & have for just over 3yrs. My elderly passengers on the 24 are very upset, they love having the safety of our arms to help them on & off the bus. This enables them to still have a certain amount of independence, without having to rely on a slotted time from some other form of transport, they can come & go as they please. Wheelchair users that do need assistance! Who's going to help them? Or the visually impaired passenger that feels safer taking our arm.

  • SAVE SALTASH TRAIN STATION
    Saltash Train Station is the gateway station to Cornwall. It is the first station to greet travelers to this beautiful county and right now it is going to rack and ruin. This campaign is to request that Saltash Town Council make an offer on the building and facilitate its restoration to its former glory - a welcoming place to greet travelers, holiday makers, day trippers, commuters and local residents. Saltash is such a vibrant and thriving town with so much to offer and if we had a fully operating and welcoming train station it would encourage even more people to stop off and visit this wonderful and historic town. Many of us have children who use the station daily in order to travel to schools, near and far. It would have such an impact on their daily commute, especially on those dark winter mornings and evenings. We already have the historic Brunel Railway Bridge running into our town so lets maximize on this and create a train station that's fit to accommodate such a feat of engineering. Don't let the building be turned into flats! Please take a moment to sign this petition in order to demonstrate to the Council how much of an impact this would have to the local community, and beyond.

  • Stop the cuts to bus services in Invergowrie and Kingoodie!
    The bus operator Stagecoach is proposing to reduce route 16 and eliminate route 77 connecting the villages of Invergowrie and Kingoodie to Perth, Dundee and Fife. Although Invergowrie is a small community it has two major employers: The James Hutton Institute and Scottish water. It also has a big primary school. The James Hutton Institute employs over 300 people and around 200 pupils attend the primary school. Adding to this the local businesses and around 1,700 residents, the cuts will impact directly a significant amount of people and will have wider consequences for Perth and Kinross, Fife and Dundee. Cuts to the services will: • Increase traffic around the school putting children’s safety at risk • Have a greater impact on vulnerable people such as pensioners, low income families and disabled. • Impact scientific research at the JHI • Increase the risk to cyclist and drivers who in bad weather in winter have the option to take the bus. • Have a negative impact on the environment by increasing traffic. We strongly oppose the proposed measures and reject the consultation done by Stagecoach as it was badly advertised, rushed and restrictive. We call for a new consultation in which residents’ and employees’ concerns can be properly heard and we look forward to finding an outcome that serves our communities better.

  • daily parking along wilsham and surrounding roads risk to cyclists and pedestrians
    Wilsham road is a busy commuter route for pedestrians and cyclists and as a resident of a nearby road I have seen an increase on the amount of parked vehicles. parked cars pose a particular hazard at the junctions of saxton road, preston road and townsend. Its only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured due to inconsiderately parked vehicles.

  • Stop the closure of Wells Terrace entrance at Finsbury Park Tube Station
    Finsbury Park is the fourth busiest Underground station outside zone 1. As many have experienced first-hand, the station currently experiences regular closures and delays due to overcrowding during peak hours. This overcrowding is not only inconvenient, it is also potentially dangerous. The proposed closure of Wells Terrace entrance which is due to take place on 18 July 2016 will inevitably make matters worse and cause even further delays and congestion. TfL plans to close this entrance permanently. A new entrance will be located on Fonthill Road, removed from the current Bus station. Until 2019, TfL plans to have only one entrance open during peak hours, Station Place. This is completely inadequate. When the closure of Wells Terrace was first proposed TfL postponed their decision to close the entrance back in April 2015 in order to "minimise disruption.” What has changed since then? If anything more commuters use the station than ever before and TfL has provided users of this station with no information regarding the impact that this will have on daily commutes. TfL has failed to propose any mitigation for the effects which the closure will have. Now is surely the time to pause and come up with a better plan - Please sign this petition to put pressure on TfL to suspend its closure of Wells Terrace on Monday 18 July 2016 entrance at Finsbury Park station until a viable solution can be found to prevent delays and overcrowding. TfL should consult the public on this.

  • Strip Southern Rail of the franchise
    Thousands of passengers have had to put up with severe delays and cancelled trains for weeks on end because Southern rail's incompetence. After weeks of misery, they have now axed 341 services a day. When the government stepped in and took over failing East Coast rail, passenger satisfaction levels were the highest on record and punctuality and reliability improved. Plus, it put £640 million back in to the public purse. Southern rail and their parent company Govia Thameslink are paid to provide a service - but they're not doing it. It's time they were stripped of the franchise.

  • Stop GTR/Southern withdrawing West London Line services
    Southern's West London Line services between Clapham Junction and Milton Keynes are a vital mainline link between not only North and West / South London suburbs but also destinations further afield including Northampton, Milton Keynes and Brighton. Cancellation of these services will have an immediate effect on a large and ever increasing number of passengers utilising this very popular route especially during peak hours. The alternative travel arrangements proposed by Southern are much slower and often more expensive routes via London Overground or London Underground. This represents a considerably less attractive proposition for many people, especially for the elderly or those with reduced mobility.

  • Ban lorries from Honor Oak Road
    1,200 children go to primary school on, or within 150 metres of, Honor Oak Road. This residential road is being misused as a cut through by large, highly polluting vehicles from the South Circular. The walk to school is dangerous and stressful. The pavements are very narrow in places and parents have been hit by the wing mirrors of lorries. Our air quality study found that pollution levels on the pavements outside Fairlawn School breached EU limits for Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). Children and the elderly are most vulnerable to high levels of pollution.
