• Change Inverness airport's name to Inverness LOCH NESS International Airport
    The vast majority of visitors to Britain fly into London, with a list of things they want to see and do. Visiting Scotland is often high on their list. LOCH NESS is arguably the most world famous destination in Scotland. People across the world recognize the name LOCH NESS. To attract more visitors we should capitalise on this. Change the name to "Inverness LOCH NESS International Airport". We will then be competing strongly with Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports. This should also help to make the new Heathrow to Inverness flights busier, thus helping to retain this vital link.

  • 20's Plenty for Stony Stratford
    Stony Stratford is the jewel of Milton Keynes. A mandatory 20mph speed limit will make the town safer for children and adult pedestrians, cyclists and the elderly and vulnerable. 20mph is safer then 30mph. Safer streets encourage increased independent mobility for children and the elderly. It will make our town a healthier, safer place to live. Other areas of Milton Keynes have a 20mph limit. It's important that we demonstrate to Milton Keynes Council the level of local support for 20mph speed limit in Stony.

  • Petition for Clean Green Buses and Clean Air
    Air pollution from road traffic causes tens of thousands of people every year in the UK to die prematurely. Children's health is suffering too. Norwich has several air pollution hotspots. These include Castle Meadow, where diesel buses contribute to unsafe air quality. Signing the petition below would put pressure on Norfolk County Council to promote clean green buses. 5,000 signatures are needed to trigger a debate by a Full Norfolk County Council meeting. As the local transport authority, Norfolk County Council can influence the emissions standard of bus vehicles run by private bus companies; for example it can specify bus vehicle standards: - when letting Park and Ride contracts - in providing bus priority measures - by creating low emissions zones. Thank you for your support.

  • Stop the NDR at the airport
    The construction of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (NDR) from Postwick to Norwich Airport will cost over £133 million, with UK taxpayers funding £88 million via the Department for Transport. However local councils intend to spend at least a further £45 million of Norfolk taxpayers’ money to extend the road by 4 miles to the A1067 - a double-whammy for Norfolk residents. This at a time when budgets for the emergency services, health and social care, libraries, museums and education are being slashed. This is socially, financially and environmentally reckless. Please sign this petition to urge the council to put people before roads.

  • Help stop a fatality. We need a traffic signal zebra Crossing to McDonald's in Mildenhall
    Since the opening of McDonald's large numbers of children and the public are risking their lives crossing the road to get to McDonald's from Mildenhall by foot or bike. It is widely known children do not have the ability to judge car speed and hence this situation is serious. The road is extremely busy and dangerous with traffic exiting the roundabout at speed and there is a real and true danger of a fatality due to this. .

  • Threat to rail services and jobs in the North of England
    Councils and Councillors now have significant control of railways in the North. Twenty nine Councils make up a new body called “Rail North.” Although Rail North cannot decide whether our railways should be publicly owned (which is what most passengers would prefer!) they will be deciding on many important issues that affect passengers. This includes train service levels and what station and train staff will be available to assist passengers and protect their safety. One of Rail North’s first big decisions will be to help determine with the government the rail franchise agreements for Northern Rail and Transpennine Express Trains (TPE) services. These agreements start on 1st April 2016, shortly before the local elections in May. Worryingly the current proposed franchise agreements mean there will be fewer rail staff to help passengers and protect their safety. There are no guarantees that ticket offices will be kept open. And no safeguards that as many stations as possible will have properly trained and directly employed station staff to help passengers. In fact there will be cuts to rail jobs.

  • Don't Close Church Street
    Hounslow Council has invited a small number of residents from Church Street, North Street, Park Road and the roads accessed by those streets to have their say on the planned closure of Church Street to vehicles. This is your opportunity to provide your view. The Twickenham Road is heavily congested with 18,000 vehicles and cyclists using it every day and is already full to capacity according to Hounslow Council’s own traffic report. The proposal to close Church Street will push up to 2,015 more vehicles onto the Twickenham Road and South Street during rush hour times, gridlocking the road and reducing pedestrian and cyclist visibility. It will also increase pollution in the area. There is already significant local concern about traffic management on the Twickenham Road, including the use of roundabouts, the no-right turn from Spur Road onto the London Road, the Twickenham Road junction with Park Road and the junction at the bottom of Worton Road. Church Street is only one of the many roads affected by these issues. Five schools (Smallberry Green, Isleworth Town, Gumley House, St Mary’s and the Blue School) and West Middlesex Hospital are located on this stretch of road. The roads immediately adjoining the Twickenham Road (St John’s, Linkfield, Amhurst, the Teesdales, Worple, Algar, Byfield) are already subject to considerable rat running. With delays on the Twickeham Road and South Street expected to increase by 142% upon closure, even more frustrated drivers are likely to make their way onto our residential streets. Whilst the emergency services make their way through most things, the gridlock will likely affect response times. Hounslow Council has said that the proposal to close Church Street on 7 December is a “temporary trial” of 18 Months to see if road users change their “travelling habits”. But how can the parents and children of the five schools on these roads together with hospital staff and patients “change their traveling habits”? Local residents will still need to get about and people will still want to visit and use the amenities of Syon Park. Hounslow Council has said that it will not stop the “trial” once they have started it but confirm that the closure will cause significant disruption. Our argument is that Hounslow Council has to look at the area as a whole and take all of the above factors into consideration. Please show your support and sign this petition to make sure that your voice is heard.

  • FOUR WINDS GARAGE A148 ROUNDABOUT
    In the 18 years I have lived in Norfolk there have been a substantial number of accidents that have resulted in death and serious injury on the A148 due to poor visibility and failure to give way. There have been two serious accidents at this junction in the last week and I have also been personally affected by this issue when my parents were involved in a crash in the same location a few years ago. On the 14th of May 2006 a pedestrian died after an accident and on the 1st of March 2010 a woman died and two others were seriously injured in a collision with a JCB tractor. This is just two of many more fatal crashes on the crossroad and just two of the many people who have been killed. The crossroad is far too dangerous and I do not want to see more people lose their lives and loved ones. A roundabout would calm traffic and certainly reduce accidents.

  • Better Buses for Littlemore
    Labour is launching a ‘Better Buses for Littlemore’ campaign. “It’s a scandal that Littlemore residents don’t get the same standard of bus service as people in Blackbird Leys or Rose Hill”, says Labour councillor, John Tanner. “With the number 16 only turning up every half an hour, and the T2 every hour with nothing on Sundays, it’s no wonder people get in their cars, adding to traffic on the roads”, says John. “More people are moving into Littlemore and we need a much more frequent bus service”. This petition calls on Stagecoach and Oxford Bus to dramatically improve the buses in Littlemore. “We need a regular 15 minute service with routes serving the centre of Oxford, the Cowley Shopping Centre and the Littlemore Science Park”, says John.
