There are too many injuries and sometimes deaths on Hopkinstown Road. We need some traffic calming measures at least. It is irresponsible of any highways agency to ignore this serious problem. How many times do people have to suffer loss and injury before highways authorities take notice. How many times do we have to ask?

The Windmill Road (B452) crossing with the A4 is acknowledged as one of the most poorly-managed, congested and hazardous junctions in Brentford. With up to six vehicles often stacked under the M4 flyover and many other cars waiting to turn right or left in the fast lane of the A4, it is the site of frequent collisions. Frustrated, angry drivers are putting lives at risk, not just other motorists but pedestrians, cyclists and above all the school children who cross the road every day. It must not take a fatality to get TFL and the Local Authority to do something to make this a safer junction for everyone.

Although sited within a major city Callington Road Hospital is not served by any public transport system. All other Bristol hospitals run a hospital bus system even though they have access to public transport. Many staff, service users and visitors rely on the hospital bus to connect to other transport systems.

It is clear that this scheme (South Wye Transport Package) will do nothing to relieve traffic through Hereford as it is presented to the public. It is to unlock land (some of which is already owned by the council - therefore us) for the wholesale industrialisation of South Herefordshire with roads, industrial buildings and cheap housing. What, you might ask, is wrong with this? Doesn't Herefordshire need jobs and homes? Yes, arguably it does but the devil is in the detail. Herefordshire may need selective, attractive developments - both commercial and residential - that tie in with and support its USP of tourism, agriculture and just being attractive. What Herefordshire does not need is broiler sheds, ugly retail and industrial parks and acres of soul sapping, shoddily built hutches that now degrade and blight so much of the country. Examples of flaws: The Marches LEP says: “Scheme business cases should therefore demonstrate high value for money and contribution to economic growth, reducing carbon emissions, reducing social exclusion, improving safety and promoting health / well being”. The Parsons Brinkerhoff report to Cabinet on the Southern Link road options clearly states that “all scheme options will have a slight adverse impact on greenhouse gases due to vehicles travelling greater distances and at higher speeds.” and adds “All route variations will have an adverse impact on walking and cycling levels in the rural area, discouraging these activities by increasing severance on existing routes and loss of rural amenity through the introduction of traffic noise and proximity to traffic.” The Highways Agency were clearly fed disinfo by our council cabinet (made obvious by their response) and in a passage missing from the council report state: " ...under current guidance the building of new road infrastructure could only be justified in policy terms when other avenues such as travel planning and sustainable travel modes had been developed and shown not to address the transport needs and issues identified. We note the commitment to improve cycling and walking environments on the A465.“ No such mention of cycling and walking provision appeared in the subsequent Cabinet presentation. None of the alternative remedies have been tried. These are only some of the flaws, and others are under review by teams concerned with the resulting impact. Proper consultation has not taken place, to the extent that at least one retired couple we know of were the last to know that an add on to the scheme is due to go through the middle of their garden and ploughing through 500 yr old oak trees. Today it is their garden under threat, tomorrow it could be yours as the SLR is clearly the tip of the iceberg to the plans If you are on the outer edges of the city of Hereford, now is the time to act and lobby your local councillors and MPs. Responses should be made to Herefordshire Council re Planning Application 151314 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRD8E7jNubo This kind of development will eventually destroy Herefordshire: it will destroy its beauty. It will destroy its individuality. It will destroy everything that makes it special and, worst of all, it will destroy its local, home grown businesses and local economy by making the county so unappealing, bleak and blighted that no-one with any choice will want to visit it let alone invest in it and live in it.

We need to bring the 20mph zones to a part of Otley that has so many young families, along with traffic calming measures and assurances from local police that they will also work alongside the council. The rest of Otley has the 20mph zones so its time to bring the whole of Ashfield in line.... lets not let it take a serious accident.

It is not a safe walking distance for the children. The children have to walk through rival areas which could/would lead to gang fights. There are very busy roads if the children had to walk.

Driving is a skill that most people will need in there life and to be charge almost double the price of the rest of the UK, Northern Ireland is being treated unfairly and it will put off people wanting to learn to drive. Not everyone can afford £62.50 for a first NI Provisional so it would be beneficial to reduce the price so that it is in line with the rest of the UK at just £32 for a first GB Provisional

It is very important to all familes who use this service. There are parents who start work early, parents who have to take another child to a different school plus the parents who have no personal transport at all! The local traffic is also reduced as a result of parents using this bus service. This traffic will increase significantly for everyone on the school run by having at least another 20+ cars on the road in an already extremely busy village.

6,840 motorists use the bridge every day, (feasibility study Nov 2012) East Farleigh is a charming, quaint village with the added treasure of a boating community. The anomaly is the difficulties motorists suffer on the medieval bridge. The traffic congestion is compromising the 14th century medieval bridge and footpaths. Creating noise pollution, damaging a restored converted Victorian train house, exhausting the residents, reducing the value of house prices and house sales, stressing the daily commuter, vulnerable road users, emergency services, local businesses and school children. The visibility either side of the single track ancient bridge is limited, so cars will begin to cross the bridge and meet in the middle, causing traffic jams and aggravated assaults where motorists are unable to reverse off the bridge to allow the other to proceed. There is an alternative bridge which should be considered in reducing the traffic flow. The unnecessary

There has been a free ferry running here for over 100 years and an established ferry service on the route since the 14th century, with mentions of one in the Doomsday Book. London has many traffic congestion problems, but the problems of the Woolwich Ferry are not it's own; it is an effective and much used (2,000,000+ journeys per year) piece of infrastructure in its own right. The problem of the Woolwich Ferry are in reality the problems of the Blackwall Tunnel and it is only when the Blackwall Tunnel fails that the area around the Woolwich Ferry becomes overly congested. To close one thing that works well because something else does not is evidence of poor strategic thinking. Even if a new bridge or tunnel are built as proposed by TFL, congestion is only going to increase year-on-year in East London. this means that the Woolwich ferry does not stop being relevant or strategically important, both as a crossing in it's own right or as an additional means of easing congestion when a single car or lorry (inevitibly and regularly) breaks down in the existing tunnel (or on a new bridge) and brings this part of the capital to gridlock. If East london actually needs additional crossing capacity, why dispense with this vital piece of existing infrastructure? There is a historic precident for the Woolwich Ferry and currently TFL has an obligation to provide this service. This obligation should remain for the benefit of both vehicular and pedestrian transport, the latter of which would be severely disrupted by the provision of vehicle only crossing points. Furthermore the obligation to continue the service is important because a FREE ferry service is the only egaliarian means of river transport in East London- it's dissapearance would mean that all traffic on the river would become a privatised, fee paying entity. In an area which has so much maritime heritage, this you be a tragic development and a loss to future generations.

this is important because a good road surface will keep the residents of Burton safer will cause less damage to our cars vans & motorbikes. Also to stop any injuries to cyclists who have to use the roads too. We deserve better roads and we will campaign to get it done!

I strongly believe that this increased distance is to far too expect a child to walk to school, never mind the weather conditions such as the rain and snow. Our children will be tired, cold and maybe even soaked through before they even start school. How can we then expect our children to be able to learn when tired, cold and wet? Thanks to the council amalgamating many schools, the distance that need to be travelled are now much further for many pupils. Many of the children will have to leave the house around 7.30 am to arrive at school for 8.40 and then will not get home until after 4 pm on the days they finish at 3 pm and after 5 when they finish at 4 pm. This would mean that in the winter months they will be expected to walk in the dark under the underpasses and unsupervised as many of the parents will be at work. This is not to mention the overly heavy school bags that they are expected to carry which would also add to tiredness, increased stress and potential health problems such as bad backs, posture and sore feet. Furthermore the children are then expected to complete homework whilst tired and with dramatically compromised concentration levels. Many of the routes to the schools do not have adequate pedestrian walk ways and many areas do not benefit from having regular public buses which can transport children to school. On a normally day the amount of traffic in and around our schools is already extremely heavy. If these plans are approved then there is likely to be more congestion and more danger as parents are forced to transport their children to school themselves. Many parents will simply not be able to ensure that their children can get to school safely as they will have to leave early themselves, to get to work. This will impact family life as the parents may have to reduce their working hours or give up work completely.
