I won't pretend that this will change the world or that it is anywhere near as worthy a cause as a great many. It will however brighten sometimes rainy Midlands days, put a smile on people's faces and would be a nice way to say 'thank you' to Jeff for such great music and all he's achieved over the years. It's a big birthday for Jeff this year, too, and what better gift to give!

Conductors are NEEDED on train's for safety reasons and for helping disabled people to access train's, all so tickets are not available at all stations which leads to delays and possible prosecution

The above is important because at the moment we are seeing a kind of bus pass apartheid, in that the sixty year olds of England are being treated grossly unfairly by this unjust law. Why should sixty year olds in, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and London be treated better than sixty year olds in England. So either make bus passes available for all at sixty, or bring the aforementioned in line with England. This bus pass anomoaly is a glaring misscariage of decency, and England’s sixty year olds are seemingly deemed as less worthy than the rest of the country.

A little girl was ran over tonight in rush hour sadly she’s not the first this has happened to and may not be the last! A friend of ours was also ran over on that road in the same place couple years ago! There is a lot of children around this area as there is 2 primery schools on both sides not far from Liverpool road with also no school crossing (lolly pop). We’d like as many people to help get the concil to do this! For the safety of our community. As a friend has spoke to a PCSO and was told they’d need more fatalities to happen to go ahead which I think is wrong!! I’d like for this to happen ASAP so nothing else awful happens !

Birmingham is home to 1.5 million of us. We're the youngest city in Europe. We're home to a deep cycling heritage and some of the most innovative entrepreneurs of the future. We're a city capable of building amazing infrastructure. We're a city where every life matters. Or so you'd think. The truth is that in 2013 the second city recieved a grant of £24 million to spend on cycling improvementd in the city via the Birmingham Cycle Revolution. A major part of the BCR plan involved the installation of cycling infrastructure on major roads to help make Birmingham a ' safe cycling city'. These works were due to be completed by 2015. None of the meaningful on road infrastructure improvements have even started. The cold horrible truth is that £24m might sound like a big number but is totally inadequate for a city of our size and ambition. To put this into context Mayor Sadiq Kahn is commiting to spend £68 per head of population over four years (£770m). That compares to Birmingham's £3.60. We are not the second city. To 1.5m of us Birmingham is our first and only city. We need our mayor to respect this reality and ensure the delivery of the on road infrastructure we need. On Monday 9th October cyclist Dr Suzanna Bull lost her young and beautiful life in a fatal road traffic collision on the junction of Pershore Rd and Priory Rd. Suzanna was a doctor at Birmigham Childrens Hospital who devoted her life to routinely saving the lives of others. Her life was tragically taken. Her death could have been prevented had Birmingham City Council rolled out effective infrastructure on a par with other major cities. This tragedy happened at a junction recognised by the Birmingham Mail as one of the most dangerous in our region. Had safe segregated cycling been in situ Suzanna would, at the very least, have had an alternative choice of route offering her greater levels of protection. She had no such choice. While cycling remains one of the safest modes of transport (far far safer than travelling by car) the madness of under investment in on road cycling infrastructure needs to end. We all have families and friends we cherish. The call for immediate implementation of increased spend on infrastructure is a call for no more excuses, a call for children to have safe routes to travel to school, a call for loved ones not to live in fear, a call for those who can to begin delivering on very old promises. The Birmingham Cycle Revolution began in 2014 and has so far delivered zero on meaningful on road infrastructure. That's zero, not an inch! £24m and not a single piece of on road infrastructure. We therefore call on Andy Street as mayor for the region to both garauntee an immediate spend of existing monies according to existing plans and to further lobby for a £20 per head spend exlusively on segregated on road infrastructure. Remember this is a petition for everyone, cyclists and none cyclists. A lack of infrastructure means motorists are at a signififcantly higher risk of unintentional collision. Failure to build infrastructure makes us all vulnerable and merits immediate redress. We know our local authority can build amazing infrastructure. They prove it time and again as they plough millions into defending the car all we ask is that they now divert some of their attention and stop killing cyclists.

To ensure that the elderly, vulnerable & those without alternative transport are able to access vital services in Banbury Town Centre.

Scotland's publicly contracted ferry services carried over 5.5 million passengers and 1.5 million vehicles, including road freight in 2016. Audit Scotland estimate the annual subsidy to be around £153m. Lifeline ferry services are crucial links between remote island communities and the mainland, enabling people to visit family, work and access health, education and other services. They will always be needed, whatever the available profit levels. When the Scottish Government awarded the £243m 2012-18 Northern Isles Ferry Service (NIFS) contract for services between Aberdeen and Scrabster to Orkney and Shetland to Serco in May 2012, many thought that this would improve the service. In fact, despite a 10% (£18m) increase in subsidy Serco NorthLink and rising fares revenue, passenger and vehicle numbers have declined, along with punctuality and reliability of these lifeline services to remote Northern Isles communities. The Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf MSP announced on 2 February 2017 a review of ferry procurement policy, including the option of bringing all public ferry contracts permanently in-house, using a 'Teckal' exemption from EU competition and State Aid laws. In the short term, this has resulted in an extension to Serco NorthLink's current contract. The Scottish Government has also confirmed that a taxpayer subsidised fares scheme, Road Equivalent tariff (RET) will be introduced on NIFS routes in 2018, adding up to £4m per year in public subsidy. RET was rolled out on the larger, publicly operated Clyde and Hebrides (CHFS) contract in October 2015, driving growth in passenger and vehicle numbers on the lifeline ferry network serving communities and businesses off Scotland's west coast. A major programme of investment in new vessels and harbour infrastructure is also planned on the current £1 billion CHFS contract, which was awarded in May 2016 to CalMac for an eight year period. We want the best for passengers, staff, communities, businesses and taxpayers from Northern Isles Ferry Services and the only way to achieve that is to Nationalise NorthLink.

So I can have reliable transportation to school

The 305 bus route is essential for passengers who lead very busy and hectic lives, the route is convenient for those travelling into London, as it is easy access to Burnt Oak Station, to parents dropping their children to the local school and needing to get to work promptly. The new route will mean additional travelling time for which is not possible, particularly the elderly who may suffer from disabilities and are not able to walk the 400 metres to access the route. The new route does not take into account those people who live on the 305 bus route who work late at night and rely upon this route to get home safely.

Public transport is a major part of peoples lives, it allows old people, students to visit their friends, to do shopping, and allow people to go on days out. Currently, the last bus from Blackburn Bus Station is 19:00 with NO SERVICE at any time on a Sunday or bank holidays. This is affecting people who used to use the bus on a Sunday and nighttime and particularly on the run up to Christmas when Blackburn market opens the last few Sundays before Christmas.

This junction has over many years been the scene of multiple accidents. One fatal. Over the last three years residents have written continually to our MP Mike Penning, County Councillors David Lloyd and now Terry Douris. On every occasion there have been promises of reviews yet nothing has yet been done. On a recent occasion where the lights were switched off for over a week there were no accidents, no build up of traffic on either Luton Road or the High Street, bringing with it significant improvements in air quality at peak times.

I have personally been knocked off my bike on this roundabout. I feel lucky to be alive. The police could not find the person who did this and the council say they are not willing to put any control measures in place. (because the layout is due to change in 2 years) More recently a good friend got knocked off her bike at the same location. We have since found out several other cyclists have fell victim to hit and run drivers at this same spot. Soon enough a life will be taken. I feel my suggested control measures are easily done. Personally I would like cameras to be added and speed bumps however I want to be realistic. Halton try to promote cycling which is really good for our environment however I feel in this case they have not done enough to put some preventative measures in place.
