• Safer Speed Limits on Lovedean Lane in Hampshire
    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.

  • Parking permits for Hinchingbrooke residents
    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.

  • Free 30 minute parking for Ramsgate commercial centre to support local businesses
    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.

  • Oppose planned strategic rail freight interchange in rural Northamptonshire
    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.

  • Keep our ticket offices open in London and the South East
    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.

  • Save the Station Street taxi rank
    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.

  • potholes
    The track is dangerous for anything with wheels. I drive a three wheel mobility scooter and have almost tipped over on more than one occasion using this track. Some bits from Russel Street to the bridge have been filled but the most dangerous part still needs doing from the bridge to the cycle track

  • Save Our 394 Glossop - Marple - Stepping Hill Hospital Bus
    The bus is the only link between Glossop and Stepping Hill Hospital (Stockport). Withdrawal of this service on the 28th March will result in the total removal of the only public transport link for residents on Glossop Road, Marple Bridge, Lane Ends and Chisworth. The link from the Charlesworth to the doctors surgeries, shops of Marple Bridge and Marple will be lost. Hawk Green will lose its link High Lane / Hazel Grove and its direct link to Stepping Hill Hospital. There are already problems with availability of car parking at Marple Bridge, Marple Station, Marple, Hazel Grove and Stepping Hill hospital. Withdrawal of the 394 service will exacerbate these problems. The service is used by students travelling to Marple Ridge College at various times of the day: withdrawal will restrict students to travel on the peak time college services only.

  • Save the Birnam bus service
    This has heavily impacted on the local community. Many people, especially the elderly in this rural area, rely on public transport for getting around Perthshire and to the major Scottish cities. As a popular tourist destination it also makes it much harder for visitors to reach us by bus. Please sign this petition to show that people value our public transport and how important it is in rural areas.

  • Support the Heathrow 13 and stop the new runway!
    13 climate protesters are facing prison to silence protest against new runways which would wreck Government policy to protect us from catastrophic climate change. The Paris agreement underlines the need to cut emissions now. Aviation is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions and the only way to reduce emissions from aviation to a safe level is to reduce the number of flights. Despite David Cameron’s ‘no ifs, no buts’ election and manifesto promise to not build a new runway following massive public outrage at the proposals, the Government is now breaking its promise. There is more than enough aviation capacity for people’s annual holidays and the declining number of business flights. Airport growth is driven by a minority of frequent fliers who take the majority of UK flights to second homes and tax havens. Meanwhile, emissions from aviation are destroying people’s lives. People in the Heathrow area, who already have to breathe illegal levels of air pollution and suffer intolerable noise, would now see their homes destroyed. People across the UK have been flooded at Christmas, and every year hundreds of thousands more people die due to climate change - mostly in poor countries in the Global South, the people least responsible for emissions. The Government is expected to make its decision on whether to expand Heathrow or Gatwick – or neither, if we are successful – this year. It’s one or the other: build new runways or protect us from climate chaos. The people in the Global South who are dying due to climate change already have no voice in the debate. We can show them that jailing peaceful protesters will not silence those of us who do.

  • Lothian Buses to continue to accept Adult City Single Tickets
    Services working with vulnerable people hand out single bus tickets to enable people to get to health appointments and to meet with other vital services. The decision to stop accepting Adult City Single Tickets restricts the ability for services to offer such provision. Users of food banks have been particularly impacted by the decision. Foodbanks use these single tickets to issue to clients who have walked quite a distance to receive 12-25kgs of food to carry home. When previous client stated ‘When I accessed a foodbank in the intervening time between losing my house and going to a homeless hostel I went to the foodbank on Madeira Street and they gave me a bus ticket to get back to Lothian Road, which was as you can imagine a massive help!’. Alternative ticketing systems that Lothian Buses could consider are listed below: • Adult City Single Scratchcards are less likely to be counterfeited. • Using two prepaid child tickets to allow an adult to board a bus (no plans as yet to cease the sale of books of child singles) • Single journey citysmart cards with only one journey loaded on them • Day saver scratch cards solds to charities for £1.60 each • Annual donations of scratch cards to charities that are existing customers of Lothian Buses as part of LB’s corporate social responsibility
