  • Repairs to Bridge B5605 Newbridge
    The B5605 provides critical road links between communities Newbridge, Cefn Mawr, Rhosymedre and Ruabon and also Chirk to the south. This is causing major disruption to local residents and businesses and also provides critical diversionary route from the A483. In the event of closures on or planned works on the A483 it means a fifteen mile division via Llangollen which is unacceptable.

  • Bus times
    People are being refused travel and missing appointments and are late for work and having to get taxi s , there are not enough seats available, if this was 1 hourly service as before then this would benefit many , also the issue of there being no bus after 6pm and this is effectively causing problems for the local public house/restaurant as it is primarily losing 24 regular customers per week. This is not what businesses need post covid ,there is also a couple of flats that are rented out by a local man and he is concerned that if there is no regular transport available then why would someone want to live at one of the properties.

  • 40mph Speed Limit on Unclassified roads in Cornwall
    Many vulnerable road users, such as walkers both adult and children, runners, cyclists and horse riders, regularly use the unclassified roads that link villages and public rights of way. Since the national speed limits were set in the mid 60's there has been a massive increase in car ownership consequently the original speed limits are no longer fit for purpose. Country roads need to be safe for everyone to use.

  • Keep East Street for shoppers, pedestrians and cyclists
    East Street's pavements are too narrow to allow for social distancing, especially with queuing systems operating to be able to enter many shops and banks. We do not want to see a rise in coronavirus cases again in Taunton Deane that crowded pavements would likely cause. The shops have also benefited from an increase in footfall since reopening and really need that to be maintained in order to recover from the terrible year they had last year. East Street without cars has created a pleasant and safe environment for all, including those people with mobility issues who previously struggled to negotiate the parked cars and dense traffic. SWT’s consultation on the project received approximately 2000 responses, with a significant majority in support. There are also wider environmental concerns. We all know that we are in a climate crisis, one of the best recommended actions we can do as individuals is to walk, cycle or take the bus more and leave the car at home. We would appeal to people to consider these options, and many others, if at all possible in order to reduce the traffic going through the centre of Taunton. This would have huge benefits for the residents of both roads affected as traffic pollution is known to cause asthma and cancers, whereas cycling and walking have great benefits to our own health. In addition, increasing road space available to traffic will only increase the traffic using it - many studies show that traffic simply increases to fill the space available to it. Conversely traffic will reduce when roads are closed, so we would expect traffic to gradually ease over the next week or two as people get used to the new restrictions and find other ways of completing their journeys. Increasing road space now, is simply increasing the amount of traffic able to use the road, which will increase pollution and greenhouse gas emissions now and for the future. Some very informative links on this subject are here: How increasing road space doesn't solve congestion! and here: New Roads Create Traffic – Faith the Green Way (wordpress.com) The value of spending from increased footfall is often underestimated. See https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/media/3890/pedestrian-pound-2018.pdf There are many examples of public realm improvements increasing footfall and spending in retail centres. So please, we appeal to David Fothergil of SCC and Mike Rigby of SWT to keep East Street closed to vehicular traffic for the sake of our local economy and our children's futures!

  • Make Menston Drive safe for residents
    It's a main, traffic free route to and from schools, nurseries, shops, health and other vital services. Without lighting and a decent road surface it is not safe or fit for purpose.

  • Reinstate the Stockport Metroshuttle bus
    • The Metroshuttle bus, until its withdrawal in April 2019, provided high frequency bus access 7 days a week to much of the town centre including the bus and train stations, market and Central Library. It was of great value to elderly and disabled passengers. • Stockport Council has declared a Climate Emergency. It and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority have obligations in respect of carbon emissions reduction and air pollution reduction. The Metroshuttle helps in meeting these objectives as well as reducing traffic congestion. This was a highly valued service which should be built upon and not scrapped.

  • Call on Heathrow Airport Limited to provide free staff parking
    HAL has mandatorily increased Staff Parking Costs by up-to 133% to recover the loses from last year due to the pandemic. This could not have come at a worse time, due to the competitive nature of the airport environment and the race to the bottom that staff have endured for years, below inflation pay rises and through the pandemic further suffering due to reduction in working hours and furlough. Staff Car Parking is essential in order for the airport to operate and as such is a legitimate business cost and should be met by the employer not the employees. HAL has up until the pandemic made year on year record breaking profits. This has been achieved by the hard work of staff using the car parking facilities, You would not have been in the same position without the support of the working man/woman.

  • Stop Oatlands Drive Harrogate becoming 'ONE WAY' only
    The existing cycle route runs along Stray Rein connecting through Rayleigh Road and Hamilton Avenue. All these roads are relatively traffic free and there are no safety concerns.This connects both to the cycle paths at the end of Hookstone estate and more importantly the railway station. The proposed cycle lane runs parallel with the existing route only a few hundred metres further east, but less well connected with both infrastructure and other facilities (like the gym, Harrogate college, climbing wall, restaurants and cafes). There appears to be no logical demand for creating a parallel but less well connected facility. Spending money on something of lower quality than what already exists would seem a waste of taxpayers money. The more worrying point is one of road safety. There is a reasonable flow of traffic along Oatlands Drive with obvious peaks at the start and finish of school times. The road is wide and has good visibility. The existing traffic will need to go somewhere. Whilst on paper it may be hoped that the traffic will use either Wetherby Road or Leeds Road a significant amount of traffic will create rat runs through the Saints or through Wheatlands Road, Stray Rein and other connecting roads. This will divert traffic into residential areas with poor visibility, parked cars and other safety issues. Moving the cycle traffic onto a road that has more traffic than on the current route increases the car/bike interaction even allowing for a dedicated cycle lane and one way system. There will still be both bike and car movements on and off Oatlands Drive. A simple solution to cars obstructing the existing Oatlands Drive cycle lanes would be to have double yellow lines.

  • STOP the Goods Vehicle Operator’s Licence in Station Road Bricketwood
    Why is this important? 1) Environmentally, Bricketwood is already suffocating from road traffic pollution from the surrounding motorways and A roads. 2) Residents in this small village cannot and should not be subjected to any further impact by the addition of 12 heavy goods vehicles plus 6 heavy goods trailers continuously entering and exiting the site multiple times every day via all connecting local village streets and roads. 3) The applicant should find a site specifically built and managed accordingly and suitable for there business operating needs, ideally being located within a business park or industrial estate from which other similar businesses operate and of which were built solely to accommodate such vehicle use and business operations as the applicant provides. 4) If the site is to be developed and or used, it must be used solely for the provision of new housing, though officially the site is registered as a green belt site and as such should be left empty. If not, then the only consideration of use must be for new housing, enabling inner London home owners and or first time buyers to move out and enjoy village life, without the daily pounding of heavy goods vehicles on our streets. 5) Many people walk to the local school of which already, the pavements are not wide enough and on many occasions pedestrians are forced to actually walk in the roads to pass others also on foot and especially more so now with COVID! 6) Increased numbers of heavy vehicles will create additional noise and vibration for residents and will set off car alarms as lorries thunder pass and potential damage to building. 7) Station road (the road in which these vehicles would be operating from), has a public foot path on just one side as the other side is woodland. This endangers pedestrians and motorists on the on coming opposite Lane, when heavy goods vehicles such as in the application, have to drive over the centre white lines (as the existing roads are no wide enough), simply to get to to link roads. 8) There is a small bridge also on Station Road with a low height restriction. The bridge is positioned on what is a very sharp bend (90 degree corner and blind spot), which these large vehicles cannot maneuver around without crossing the centre white lines, causing a possible fatal accident with an either an on coming vehicle on the opposite side and or a pedestrian. 9) The amount of vehicles within the application are approximately 6 times as many as operated by the previous site users. Not only 6 times more, but will probably access the site 2 to 3 times every day, creating 54 individual heavy goods vehicles up and down our residential roads every day, 7 days a week from 6.30 in the morning to 18.30. This is unacceptable. Please sign so this can be stopped immediately
