Concessionary fares scheme for 16 to 18 year oldsA Wiltshire wide concessionary fares scheme should be considered by Wiltshire Council. Many of these young people are in full time education and have no access to there own transport. And in many cases if there is public transport the price is beyond there reach.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by TERRY CHIVERS

Stop A6 carnage in North BedfordshireThere have been two major accidents on this stretch of the A6 in the past few weeks - so severe that air ambulances were required. Drivers routinely speed on this narrow stretch of road, a hazard which is exacerbated suicidally by their tendency to use the right-hand turning reservation into Park Lane (MK44 1LX) for overtaking, and the almost total lack of visibility from the Templars Way junction (MK44 1PZ) leftward, owing to vegetation and crash barriers, when trying to cross the dual carriageway to turn right. In addition, supercar events and similar gatherings at the Sharnbrook Hotel regularly result, despite the hotel's best efforts in putting up warning signage and safety tape, in fast cars using this stretch of the A6 (as well as surrounding residential roads) as their personal racetrack. There *will* be death on this stretch of road if the relevant agency does not act decisively to slow the traffic down and to ensure that those who persist in driving irresponsibly are systematically caught, fined, and, if necessary, banned.616 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Simon Fletcher

Change Crayke Primary School to 20mph zoneSchool kids have to cross between parked cars, meaning it could only be a matter of time before an accident happens as heavy good vehicles, cars and trucks use the road in a 30mph zone. Because of parked cars, traffic is reduced to a single lane - meaning there is a great deal of congestion. We have the opportunity to influence Hamleton Highways and the police who are coming out to access the situation and with your help we can make this happen for the safety of our children. Most villages I have driven passed have these clear marking and is a 20 mph zone through out the villages.29 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Claire Walker

50mph for the A466We believe that the national speed limit set for the A466 between Chepstow and Monmouth is unsuitable for this rural single-carriageway road for many reasons: 1) A 50mph speed limit would better reflect the A466’s many blind bends, brows, dips, unusual cambers, hidden driveways, turnings and lay-bys, around 40 pedestrian crossing points, wildlife crossing points and also the fact it has few pavements and no cycle paths. The straight stretch from Chepstow Racecourse to St. Arvans has been reduced to 50mph and there is every reason to continue this speed limit through to Monmouth. 2) It would help to reduce the excessive speeding and reckless driving that seems to be becoming the norm. For many drivers the Chepstow-Monmouth road is just a through-road or, even worse, a race-track. Speeds in excess of 60mph have been logged in village 30mph zones and reckless overtaking is often witnessed. Overtaking on single carriageway roads is one of the most dangerous manoeuvres a driver can perform. 3) Along this road there are pot holes, sunken drains and often debris such as rocks and fallen, hanging or protruding branches. It also suffers from wet and icy conditions, which means it takes far longer for vehicles to stop. At 60mph, a driver's stopping distance is 73 metres. This means if a hazard suddenly appears within this space, as is common on winding country roads, the driver stands no chance of stopping in time to prevent a crash. It also means that if a driver is going too fast they may lose control and end up in the path of an oncoming vehicle or running off the road. There was a fatality from a car collision in 2013, and this summer a road traffic accident involving a cyclist in Llandogo required an air ambulance evacuation. Also this year we have seen numerous wild deer casualties (adults and fauns) left as obstacles in the middle of the road. 4) Country roads can initially appear empty, but they are shared spaces used by vulnerable road users including pedestrians and cyclists, as well as slow moving farm vehicles and wild animals. Fast traffic not only puts lives at risk but it also harms people's quality of life by frightening them and preventing them from enjoying the countryside. As a scenic route, this stretch is one of the Land's End to John O'Groats cycle routes and it's regularly braved by cycle clubs from surrounding cities and individual cyclists. For locals and visitors without cars, the A466 is the only cycle route up and down the valley. Currently there is no alternative. As such this road must be made safer for cyclists. We also believe that more people would start cycling if the speeds on this road were reduced. 5) The lower Wye Valley road between Chepstow and Monmouth was once heralded as one of 'Britain's Best Drives'. The stunning scenery has changed little and those who still want to enjoy this drive should be allowed to without aggression from speeding vehicles. We hear all too often from visitors who've been harassed for miles by people driving dangerously close and who've seen reckless overtaking manoeuvres. 6) Noise pollution also affects people’s quality of life and the visitor experience in the Wye Valley and there is a measurable link between traffic noise and speed. Two well promoted long-distance walks follow the valley, the Wye Valley Walk and Offa's Dyke National Trail, and the road noise is a constant companion on pathways through the lower Wye Valley. Reducing speed limits on roads and increasing enforcement of speed limits is the most effective and cost efficient means of reducing noise. Currently, local highway authorities can and do reduce the limit to 50mph on stretches of road deemed appropriate. The A466 between Chepstow and Monmouth is such a road.31 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nickie Moore

Stop Speeding in LlandogoTo all those who want safer roads, to all those who love walking, cycling, sightseeing and living in the lower Wye Valley and to all those who are fed up of seeing reckless drivers using rural village roads like motorways, please sign this petition. Currently drivers travelling through Llandogo can break the speed limit, driving at whatever speed they want, when they want. And they do. We have the data. Vehicles have been logged by Llandogo Community Speed Watch driving 60-70mph. Drivers even overtake other vehicles in the 40 and 30mph zones in order to maintain their high speeds! We are the only village on the A466 not to have prominent road signs or any traffic calming. Even villages on surrounding B roads have better measures with rumble strips, driver feedback signs, pedestrian crossings and islands. For some reason though, Llandogo does have yellow lines preventing parking roadside at weekends, when other villages are unrestricted and their parked cars serve to slow traffic further. Speeding was identified as the No.1 concern for Llandogo residents in a recent community consultation, but because the village is not an 'accident hot spot' Llandogo has been completely overlooked by the authorities. The sad truth is, the community is being impacted 24/7 and it's not positive. As traffic speeds, intensity and road noise have all increased the residents have had to adapt, changing their behaviour and curtailing activities they once enjoyed, such as walking, cycling, running, even gardening and playing games; health-boosting, sustainable activities. Crossing the road on foot can be intimidating, especially for the elderly and the young heading to the school and bus stops. Well used footpaths end abruptly at the road edge with dangerously little visibility for both walker and driver. Pets are regularly killed or maimed on the road. Manoeuvring out of driveways is often met with aggression from speeding drivers and close misses are too common. Local people actually fear to cycle on this road. A serious road traffic accident in Llandogo this summer involved an Air Ambulance evacuation of a cyclist from the village green. Cyclists and pelotons are often cut up by speeding drivers taking risks. Speeding and aggression on the A466 is a constant topic raised by tourists to Llandogo. If we do nothing it will only get worse. Please sign this petition to make Llandogo a safer and more pleasant place for the local community, for visitors and for all road users. Let's stop drivers breaking the speed limits in Llandogo.443 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Nickie Moore

THE NEED FOR SPEED BUMPS IN WATERGALLAs it is a school road and has lots of traffic coming in and out in excess of the 20mph limit at times on the road , there is an important need for slower traffic due to children and pedestrians walking and driving to and from the school using this road. This is a tight stretch of road and has a huge amounts of parked cars at the side thus making it more of a single track road, the chances of an accident occurring her are relatively high! We need to think of the public and their safety!19 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kleofa Nelson

Save Fakenham Sure StartFakenham Gateway Sure Start children’s centre is an important life line for the local community. It offers support and assistance to families - with out the Sure Start centre we would be lost. The council is currently considering a £5 million cut to the budget for children services, putting the future of Fakenham Sure Start centre at risk. If the centre closed it would leave local families without vital support. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/politics/fears-norfolk-children-s-centres-could-close-as-county-hall-considers-5m-cut-1-5231037372 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Rosie Newstead

Free London Transport for StudentsLondon is most expensive city in the UK, with extremely high living cost. At the moment students only get 30% off travel cards and 16-25 cards only allow 30% off of off peak single fares, but must pay the full price for peak fares. Why should students have to pay to go to university when they are struggling to afford everything else. The cost of education is expensive enough, why should we have to pay more. Help students out and let them travel to university for free.27 of 100 SignaturesCreated by S E
