• Termination of the 797 Greenline-London coach from Stevenage
    This service is used by a lot of local residents every day to go back and forth to London where they work. Without the 797 they will have to use the train at nearly double the cost. The students at Herfordshire University will be affected in the same way. Patients having to go to major London hospitals will be in the same situation. Old aged pensioners with freedom passes won't be able to use it in the train and won't be able to afford the train fare. Arriva operates the 757 service from Luton to London -Victoria. They run 45 coaches 24 hours daily. If Arriva says that they are discontinuing the 797 because it is not economical. The same applies to the five 757 services both ways between 1.00am - 5.00am in the morning. Arriva could cancel these five services and instead run a minimum 797 service which in the end will be more profitable for the operator. This way customers of the 797 won't be so badly affected by Arrivas decision.

  • Wheelchairs have priority over buggies on buses.
    Because buggies can be folded up. Some wheelchair users are bound to their wheelchairs for LIFE as they are disabled. Mothers or fathers can push buggies and can always wait for another bus.

  • Wheelchairs on buses
    When you see disabled people out and about it's not always apparent how hard it is to get about my daughter is a wheelchair user and she is ill which is what has made her disabled so if she is having a reasonable day health wise we go out as there are plenty of times when she is too ill or in hospital for treatment

  • Make the vacation of wheelchair spaces on public transport a legal requirement.
    The recent case of Doug Paulley vs First Group ended with the judges ruling that the wheelchair spaces on buses do not need to be vacated by persons refusing to do so. Effectively they have ruled that persons using wheelchairs may be discriminated against by those who feel it is too much trouble to fold away a pushchair, or simply move to another seat. This throws the whole situation into confusion. The majority of persons using wheelchairs are doing so because they are not able to stand for long periods, if at all, and do not have the luxury of being able to fold their wheelchair away while on public transport. Able bodied persons can stand, pushchairs can be folded, and infants carried. Refusing to vacate the more easily accessible areas on buses and trains is discriminating against those who are physically unable to reach the other areas, and must be made an offence. There is no excuse for a wheelchair user to be denied transport in a situation where it is physically possible to accommodate them should other users show consideration. The current regulations are too woolly, and the manner in which they can be interpreted leaves them open to rulings such as the above, which renders them effectively null and void.

  • Stop the proposed road tunnel or any building works around or under Stonehenge.
    Stonehenge is a world heritage sight that still has much to tell us and requires protection. The landscape around it is full of archaeological remains. As an example, warm springs that were apparently used thousands of years ago were recently discovered within walking distance of the stones. Any attempt to build a tunnel underneath the site is bound to destroy part of this ancient landscape. This proposal jeopardises the entire site.

  • Kill Your Speed, Not a New Forest Pony
    Every year, drivers kill ponies in the New Forest through driving too fast, and too carelessly. We need to re-educate everyone who drives in the New Forest and introduce new measures to manage our speed. We lost the Brockenhurst white baby donkey, called Jo-Jo in last week of November 2014, who was killed at 6pm. His Mother had to be moved away as she was so distraught and has now been taken off the forest. But this is just one incident, there are so many losses like this which don't get reported. We need to remember the forest is a National Park with Ponies roaming free, many with young. Would you drive at 40mph knowing you could run over a child? Please support this campaign by signing and sharing. It is down to us as a community to change the mindset of how we drive in the Forest.

  • Stop Sheffield Council Destroying Heeley's Trees
    The trees provide an area for wildlife such as squirrels, hedgehogs and birds to live free and natural. It also is a popular route taken by many dog walkers and also cyclists as a barrier from the dangers of the road the other side. The trees provide a natural barrier for people who visit the farm from the noise of the roads and helps cut down the effects of pollution from the traffic in the area.

  • Widen our Pavement and make CLiff Villas One Way!
    Some years ago the pavement outside our main entrance on Cliff Villas was widened. this was as a result of our school council writing to the local authority. This resulted in children and parents having more space to get in and out of school safely. This entrance is now much less crowded and dangerous. Unfortunately we do still have a big problem with too many buggies and people at the Nursery and Reception entrance each morning and afternoon. This is because that part of the pavement is still too narrow. It is an ordinary sized pavement with the added difficulty of some very big trees in it. This means that the adults have to move around trees, people and other buggies. as well as coping with the children and families leaving from the main entrance and walking along the street to go home. We are worried that there will be an accident soon with somebody being run over by the wheels of a pushchair or getting pushed onto the road by the crowd and into a car. If the pavement was wider, parents would have space to move around the trees without blocking another parent’s way making it much safer and calmer. If the widened pavement outside our main entrance was extended to the boundary of our school building this whole issue would be resolved. We would also like the council to consider making Cliff Villas a one way road. It would stop arguments between car drivers when they meet each other going the other way and can’t get past - it is currnetly not big enough for cars travelling two abreast. A wider pavement would not then be a problem for car drivers either. We hope the council will think carefully about our idea and can help us make outside our school safer for parents and children and that you will support us in putting pressure on them to do so by signing our petition.

  • Rail Fares That Make Sense
    We have a bewildering number of train tickets available, which can sometimes mean that for a long journey it is cheaper to buy 2 single fare tickets rather than one single fare ticket. Also, a return ticket can be cheaper than a single. It can even be cheaper to buy a ticket from one train company's ticket machine than from another train company's machine. Travelling to London Victoria can be cheaper than travelling to Clapham Junction (a shorter distance for me). Looking at a ticket machine screen can make your head spin, when all you want to do is get from A to B and be charged for the distance travelled. Legislation is needed to impose logic and fairness.

  • £21m Cathkin Relief Road
    This carriageway extension will not only pollute the area with noise and car fumes, it will rip up one of the few remaining greenbelts in the Rutherglen Area. This is apparently a protected greenbelt which mine & other local children helped plant trees and shrubs in over 12 years ago as part of bio-diversity excersize. This is where local families take their children for walks, where the children play In the summer months & in the winter snow, where many people walk their dogs and go for leisurely strolls. There is already 3 alternative routes in existence, None of these are by any means over congested at any time of the day. The residents of High Burnside did not choose to live on a main road so why should we be forced to do so now. This is just taking the problem away from One door and laying it at another. I think it's outrageous to spend this money on a road when the kids at the local high school are being given photocopied handouts of text books because the school can't afford the books for each pupil, When there is talk of increasing class sizes in the schools obviously because the budget is so tight to be able to afford the level of staff required, and when the NHS is in such a mess with the limited funding they have to exist on. I think this money could be better spent elsewhere And not spent on concreting over one of the last remaining greenbelts.

  • Justice for Cats
    This is important because my cat Baillie got knocked down on 15/11/2014 and sadly died, the driver never stopped. With the severity of his injuries the driver would have known they hit something. Cats are part of the family and they deserve justice.
