Keep McGills Number 26 serving the new Glasgow HospitalIt is important to families of disabled children, those of us with sensory or mobility needs. Those visiting a sick relation. For many having to use two buses is just too much. This will have a huge impact on the most vulnerable. Transport should serve the public not put profit first.

Bike Shelters for GHA TenantsAfter a few days of dragging the bike up and down 6 flights of stairs and struggling through the heavy fire doors young people begin to find cycling is not so much fun The tenants are not allowed to store anything on the landings Bikes / prams / buggies / mobility scooters are not stored. They are parked - ie they are in use and not stored anymore than cars are stored in the parking areas outside One elderly lady struggling with her walking was not allowed to park her mobility scooter inside The landings, unlike the flat hallways, are spacious with lots of nooks to park a bike or mobility scooter or pram without impeding traffic, despite what the housing officers say It is fairly certain that a bike pram or mobiility scooter is less of a fire hazard parked in a cement corridor than in a small hallway But why not build bike shelter for prams and bikes and scooters? This is Bike Week in Glasgow. Please ask GHA 08004797979 and / or the Wheatley Group who are "committed to a Greener Glasgow", how they are supporting Bike Week : Wheatley Group, Wheatley House, 25 Cochrane Street, G1 1HL or phone 0800470707 Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.36 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Em Bee

Scrap the changes to disabled childrens transportThe London Borough of Redbridge has recently announced that they will introduce a "pilot scheme", without consultation, to force disabled children who need a door to door minibus service between home and school to instead go to a muster point on a main road and wait to be collected by a coach Children with severe disabilities will no longer be collected from their homes to attend school and instead will have to make their own way to points on main roads where they will be collected and dropped off. These children have various disabilities and have been identified by the council as in need of this service. The Chair of Children Services, said in January that there would be no changes without consultation, yet we have just been told this will now happen in September as a "pilot".3,127 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Jason Naicker

Keep Bath's London Road Safe For CyclingCouncil members are proposing to extend loading times and bays on the refurbished off-road cycle lane approaching Cleveland Place, These changes will either force cyclists into the heavily trafficked [two-lane] west bound carriage ways; OR into potential collisions with pedestrians. The Council also wants to remove the curb build-out at Snow Hill, which was designed to protect cyclists and prevent illegal ingress by motorists onto the on-road cycle lane. The Council may also be considering complete complete removal of the on-road cycle lanes, simply to increase traffic flows. All of these plans contradict previous agreements and undertakings supporting improved cycling access, agreed by all the parties, in the Bath Transport Strategy.653 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Adam Reynolds

Implement the promised plug-in grants for electric motorcyclesThe DfT's delay is blighting sales of electric bikes. Orders for hundreds of e-bikes have been put on hold while potential customers await the introduction of the incentive. The failure to implement the e-bike grants could cost jobs in the motorcycle industry and undermines the Government's repeated claims to be promoting green transport. Unlike the grants for cars and vans, a plug-in grant for electric motorcycles would also cut congestion.166 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Paul Smith

Keep Safety Qualified Conductors on Abellio ScotRail ServicesJoin the RMT and other Trade Unions in opposition to removing the Guard (Conductor) from Abellio ScotRail services. The recent incident at East Dumbarton, where a traveller sadly suffered from life changing injuries, shows how unsafe Driver Only Operation has become. In this incident it emerged that a group of teenagers raised the alarm to oncoming trains. This was a incident that could've easily been avoided were there a Guard on the service. In the 2 weeks leading up to the end of May we found that a Taxi Driver had to assist a wheelchair passenger off a DOO service at Livingston North as there was only a driver on the train and no second person, another issue that could've been resolved were there a Guard on this service. Further we have seen the ScotRail MD Phil Verster openly tell his employees, via social media, that if a passenger comes running to the train late then the train must depart on time as it could cause a delay to other services - if you know the industry you will know that delays to services cost money - a example of safety over profit. Safety before profit delivers safe trains for Scotland's people, the model that Abellio ScotRail want to follow delivers a unsafe method of operation for Scotland's rail users. Indeed the whole project is about two things; 1) cutting ScotRails wage bill and 2) maximising shareholder profit. Please sign and share this petition widely, join the campaign to keep Scotland's Rail Services Safe.4,097 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Richie Veitch

Bike Reservations on Trains - the beginning of the endI learnt yesterday coming from London to Bristol that it is now 'mandatory' to make bike reservations in advance for all travel on GWR trains, a policy I was told (by a guard) came into effect on 16th May, and is largely because of new high speed trains. Are GWR reducing storage on their trains? Probably, and down to 2 or 3 on some 'high speed' trains, instead of increasing to meet demand. This will obviously discourage bike use with great implications, particularly on rural routes, and turning up to catch a train anywhere will be really difficult. What about workers cycling several miles to and from stations to get to work? Isn't it government policy to encourage less car use, supporting more sustainable, less damaging, and healthier modes of transport? Particularly on main routes like Bristol to London, a journey that is already a silly £56 at its cheapest (around 40% more expensive than a similar journey in Europe) for a 'flexible' OFF-PEAK return. Those who need to be flexible will no longer be able to be 'flexible' - and not everyone can afford a Brompton, or the additional charges of London public transport on top. UK rail travel seems to be increasingly inaccessible for most people. I took a trip to Sheffield to cycle in the Peak District recently, and on a Bristol to Sheffield train (£93.80 for an OFF-PEAK advance) there were only 3 bike slots. It cost a friend who was driving £40 in fuel, he carried 3 people, 3 bikes and spent a good amount of time in traffic jams.... https://www.gwr.com/your-journey/journey-information/on-board/cycles https://www.gwr.com/making-a-complaint8,794 of 9,000 SignaturesCreated by Gary Fawle

First Bus Cuts Scottish BordersThe bus services in the Borders are vital life lines to may people young and old the removal of the town services in Hawick and Peebles will mean that many older residents in these towns will miss out on links with other parts of the town and the wider borders if these services are removed. The removal of the College bus service from Hawick to Galashiels will mean that young people from Hawick may miss out on training courses at Borders College which would help improve there education and life. The other services that are being cut will mean that those places loose there vital link and their elderly resident loose out too.2,964 of 3,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Grieve

Safe Crossing at Hangingwater & Whiteley Wood RoadPlease help us get over well over 5000 local people supporting this campaign as it will force Sheffield Council to properly debate this issue in the open. We have until the end of September to do just that. Help get Sheffield City Council to finally bring in urgent traffic safety measures to protect over 100 children who regularly use this route to go to three local schools in the area. The urgency of this was brought home to us when our daughter sustained serious injuries in late 2015 from a car going less than 20 mph when she was on her way to High Storrs School. This school is the closest catchment school for Nether Green and Fulwood. However the walking route has no footpath in places and no crossing. The path opens up into a T junction (picture). The Council has admitted that the lack of footpath across this junction is dangerous and they won’t even place a School crossing warden there because of the danger. Now the Council have said after months of talks that they will not consider installing a crossing or altering this dangerous footpath to what is the most direct route to High Storrs School, Notre Dame School and Nether Green Junior School. It is only a matter of time before a child or another member of the community receives life changing injuries or death as a result of the council's inaction.6,437 of 7,500 SignaturesCreated by Martin Jacobs

Fume Free Fridays (or Sundays but I couldn't find a rhyme)The world is going to s*** and we're destroying it at an alarming rate what I'm proposing wont stop it but its a very small step in the right direction and in the mean time it might help slow things down while someone smarter than me comes up with a real solution and if we go fume free on a Sunday it'll make the least upheaval to things like buses, postal service and the like3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by eliot whybrow

Make a Staff Car Park for Meadowhall staff on the Next side of the centreThe staff car park as it stands now is secluded and unsafe. As a young worker in Meadowhal myself, I personally do not feel safe walking from the staff car park to my store - which is on the far side of Meadowhall - early in the morning or late a night when there is next to nobody about. Having worked in Meadowhall for almost two years I have heard these issues brought up on numerous occasions however Meadowhall choose to ignore them. Staff that park in 'customer' car parks are issued with £95 fines, to which they are threatened with court action until paid, and I have seen many of this fines stuck on cars recently proving how many members of staff choose to take this risk as they do not wish to risk parking in the staff car park. That being said, the staff car park itself is unfinished and has caused damage to staff's cars in the past. If a person's safety isn't enough, risk putting your car in there and risk creating a large bill at the garage. This is disgraceful and it needs to change now!1,048 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Emily Davidson
