Following the most recent accident of many, and multiple near misses, we demand that Swale Borough Council install safety calming measures in Church Lane, Newington This is the main route to the village school and Church and is used by many people, from the very young to the elderly, both driving and on foot, every day. Speed is a main factor in many of these incidents, and the usable road width is approximately no more than one car width. The lane is used by a large amount of traffic everyday; including cars, farm traffic and large lorries. We already have the support of the Parish Council and we would like the support of both the Borough Council and the County Council to install traffic calming measures forthwith.

Residents are sick and tired of their lives being disrupted by bad and inconsiderate parking, when Church services are taking place, and the danger of emergency vechicles not getting through, and access blocked to a joining courts.

The South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) - an unaccountable and unelected body - has allocated a total of £16.6m of public money to SeaChange Sussex to build the North Bexhill Access Road (NBAR). The road would be 2.4km long, and would therefore cost £6.9m/km. By comparison, the 5.6km Bexhill Hastings Link Road (BHLR) is currently predicted to cost £124.3m, or £22.2m/km. So according to SeaChange Sussex, the NBAR will only cost 13% as much as the BHLR, even though it is 43% of the length. There is a very strong case to be made that SeaChange Sussex has deliberately underplayed the likely cost of the road in order to secure funding, and that more public money will be requested once construction starts. It would not appear possible for the NBAR to be built for £16.6m, and it would seem very likely that SeaChange Sussex will return to SELEP to ask for more money at a point where the project is seen to be too far on to be abandoned. There is precedent for this locally: over the past three years, East Sussex County Council has agreed four separate increases in funding for the Bexhill Hastings Link Road. Currently, with the greenway and landscaping still unfinished, the road cost is 44% above the original predicted cost. It would be utterly wrong to allocate yet more public money towards the polluting and destructive North Bexhill Access Road, especially at a time when public services for the most vulnerable are being cut to the bone. SELEP must refuse to grant any further funds to the NBAR.

To protect children, property and the environment from heavy vehicles used during the construction of thousands of new and infrastructure unsupported houses in and around the area. And to force the developers and council to provide a major new through road to support this development as was originally promised.

Glasgow’s Subway network has being going in circles for too long! Built in 1896, Glasgow has the third oldest underground in the world but, unlike all other cities, Glasgow has never extended its Subway. The Subway is not accessible to the majority living in Glasgow and as a result is underused for a city of its size. The ridership of Glasgow’s Subway compares poorly to that of geographically smaller and less populated cities such as Lisbon whose annual underground ridership is 140.9 million, while Glasgow Subway’s annual ridership is 12.8 mil, despite having the larger population. Transport for London (London’s version of SPT) is currently building a new high-speed underground line Crossrail, now known as the 'Elizabeth Line' and has just released inspiring plans for Crossrail2, to be completed 2030. Remember when Glasgow was going to have a Crossrail too? Why isn’t Scotland’s largest city worth this level of investment? And why doesn't SPT have an ambitious long-term plan? http://www.crossrail2.co.uk Fewer cars mean less congestion, more space, and cleaner air above ground for cyclists, pedestrians and remaining motorists. Glasgow has the lowest level of car ownership in Scotland, and some of the worst levels of air pollution. Many people have no choice but to drive due to poor public transport provisions. An extended Subway network would provide a lifeline to isolated communities, improve everyone's overall mobility, and reduce reliance on cars and the problem of scarcity of parking spaces. In 2007, SPT produced a report that showed huge support for a Subway extension, and said they were “ in tune with the needs of the public”. “...we want what you want. This city needs a world-class Subway system. That’s what our passengers deserve. I realise an extension won’t come cheap and we still have lots of hurdles to overcome but, in my view, what the public wants, the public should get. This is a ringing endorsement from the people who would use the extended Subway.” Councillor Alistair Watson, SPT http://www.spt.co.uk/corporate/2007/03/survey-shows-spt-in-tune-with-the-public Since then, recent modernisation has only made cosmetic and technological improvements. Glasgow doesn’t need a novelty train - it needs an underground system fit to carry a growing 21st century population in a 21st century city! Don’t just take our word for it: “We need to face the facts that the current system is fraying at the edges. The Subway has served Glasgow well for over a hundred years but we now need to invest further in the city’s infrastructure. These proposals contain bold visions. They would give Glasgow a 21st century transport system for a 21st century city. What we now need to do is work out how we can make that happen.” Ron Culley, Chief Executive of SPT (2006 - 2010) http://www.spt.co.uk/corporate/2007/03/survey-shows-spt-in-tune-with-the-public “It is tragic that there has been absolutely no progress over the past decade in moving people from cars on to public transport. As the new strategy sets out, the past decade has seen a 2% increase in traffic levels, while public transport use has declined by 6%.” Colin Howden, Director of Transform Scotland http://transformscotland.org.uk/blog/2016/01/21/lack-of-progress-on-key-trends-shows-wasted-decade-on-scottish-transport-policy Let’s show SPT we haven’t forgotten their promise of an extended Subway system! If ‘People Make Glasgow’, then SPT and the government have to put their money where their mouth is! Sign the petition to extend Glasgow’s Subway and demand a comprehensive underground system fit to serve not just the few, but all the people of Glasgow! ___________________________________________ Follow the campaign: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/glasgowtube Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/glasgowtube

There are a number of entrances along this stretch of road and the it is used by horse riders, including children on ponies, cyclists and farm vehicles all limited as to speed. A number of locals have expressed their concern as to the speed of many cars along this stretch who may be unaware of the hazards often present in this area. The purpose of this petition is to show support for the proposal already posted on Hampshire County Council's Public Notices site to restrict the speed limit. UPDATE: The petition and the Pony Mad Hackers backing the campaign and the council proposals appeared in the Clanfield Post! http://www.clanfieldpost.co.uk/article.cfm?id=104746&headline=Catherington%20riders%20back%20bid%20to%20reduce%20speed%20limit%20on%20Lovedean%20Lane§ionIs=news&searchyear=2016 We're very grateful to Paul Ferguson of the Petersfield Post for taking the time to come down and visit, then write an article about our campaign.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION NOW! THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO STOP THE BILL! THE VOTE IS ON 23RD MARCH!

Parking around Hinchingbrooke area has become a nightmare. Visitors to the hospital park around the area to avoid high parking fee. Employees of the Business park park all along Parkway and the adjoining roads as the offices have no parking facilities or easy access to the area or because of the road barriers. Driving along Parkway has become dangerous. The blind bends restricts drivers from seeing oncoming vehicles and as there is no space for queueing, cars often drive on the pavement and a number of times damage parked cars.

Since the opening of Westwood Cross and the insertion of yellow lines all around the commercial centre of Ramsgate, residents have seen many businesses close down and struggle. Recently, new businesses have been opening and long-standing businesses have persevered. Unfortunately, double yellow lines throughout the commercial centre of Ramsgate mean that many shoppers prefer to use the big chains who can offer parking causing a loss to local businesses. If the yellow lines were replaced by free 30-minute parking, people would have the incentive to whizz round Ramsgate's small businesses and ensure the longterm sustainability of our precious town centre with its diverse businesses run by local people.

The Developer Ashfield Land Ltd has categorised this development as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project. The implication of this is that it by-passes the normal Northamptonshire planning application process and is determined directly by the Secretary of State who quite possibly has no knowledge of our local environment and might not even visit the affected villages before making his decision. Whilst South Northamptonshire Council are fundamentally against this development as it is contrary to their local plan, their power to reject it has effectively been taken away from them.

Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern score consistently badly as train operators with poor performance, reliability, delays and removing staff from public facing roles will only serve to worsen customer satisfaction levels at a time when the company should be doing everything possible to improve them. There is also a risk that ticket office staff will lose their jobs. It is complete madness to close National Rail Ticket Offices when these poor performing operators also score consistently badly in terms of value for money. All the evidence suggests that passengers trust and ultimately prefer to buy tickets from ticket offices. Ticket Vending Machines are confusing and still do not offer the cheapest fares or the range of tickets available at ticket offices. Simplified 'Oyster Style' smart ticketing that has been promised for years to be rolled out across the South East is still a distant dream. These ticket offices closures will cause more passenger misery for the millions of passengers who use these operators everyday. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition and send a clear message to Govia Thameslink Railway Ltd and Government to KEEP OUR TICKET OFFICES OPEN.

We strongly believe that it will be detrimental to our business and put public safety at risk of not having a visible taxi rank in close proximity to the front of the railway station. This will affect everyone including people with disabilities, elderly, lone travelers, young children and people with excessive luggage.
