• 20's Plenty in Rural Wiltshire
    20mph speed limits should be the norm in communties in Wiltshire, making them nicer, safer and healthier places to live. Many forward thinking Councils already have widespread 20mph limits and Wiltshire Council should follow their example.

  • Free travel for ALL students, apprentices, and graduates
    We are in a cost of living crisis, and nearly everybody is struggling, and students are no exception to this. I have had to personally miss out on many opportunities because of the high price of travel, and it risks derailing my entire future plans if nothing is done about it.

  • Clean up private parking. Clamp the cowboys
    Individual motorists too often find themselves in a situation where a £2 transaction has gone wrong - the machine misoperates or the credit card process says it has worked when it hasn't. The operator begins quasi-legal exercise which quickly ramps up from an initial £100 to £300+. It is a racket that is UK-wide. It is only when people get together that dubious enforcement patterns become visible and the operators can be encouraged to improve their practice.

  • KINGSWAY NEEDS SPEED CAMERAS
    Kingsway in Kirkby in Ashfield is having car accidents constantly because of people driving too fast and not paying attention. The central bollards have not stopped the issue. We need an average speed camera system to try and slow people down. This road has a school on it and many residents have vehicles parked on the road. These vehicles are the ones that get damaged and destroyed when speeders hit them. One day it will be the school kids getting knocked over.

  • Save the X28 Bus (Cumbernauld)
    This is a well used service that a number of residents rely on to get to work, college, university or leisure time. The only possible replacement services either involve a lengthy walk, take longer to reach their destination or are more expensive.

  • Put seatbelts on all public transport buses
    To make all Buses and coaches how seatbelts and have to wear them by law. On every Bus and coach on the roads it should be law that everyone on them should wear seat belts. They go just as fast as cars and they are the law that you have to wear seat belts so why not buses and coaches? If you are in a bus then the bus driver and passengers should all have to wear seat belts up and down the country as this will stop a lot of bus and coach related deaths on the road.

  • Lets Challenge Petrol price rises today!!
    Petrol prices are at a record high The cost of petrol has hit a record high in the UK, as pump prices continue to rise since the beginning of January 2021. The news comes from the RAC Fuel Watch, from data collected across the country, including wholesale, retail and supermarket pump prices. The average price of unleaded is 142.9p per litre and diesel is 146.5p. These rises have not been caused by recent fuel shortages, but they won't have helped. They hit the average driver hard – the price of unleaded has increased by 28p a litre since October 2020, adding £15 to the cost of filling up a 55-litre family car, The price of crude oil is currently $86.09 a barrel, following on from a rise last week, and is closing in on record highs of more than $120 in 2012. The upshot is that if crude oil rises to those levels, they will be reflected in even higher prices, causing more pain for drivers who are already seeing their budgets stretched. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: 'This is truly a dark day for drivers, and one which we hoped we wouldn't see again after the high prices of April 2012. This will hurt many household budgets and no doubt have knock-on implications for the wider economy.' He continued: 'Even though many people aren't driving quite as much as they have in the past due to the pandemic, drivers tell us they are more reliant on their cars now than they have been in years, and many simply don't have a choice but to drive. There's a risk those on lower incomes who have to drive to work will seriously struggle to find the extra money for the petrol they so badly need.' What this means for you The last time we had high fuel prices like this, government or market intervention saw resulted in them dropping sharply after sustained growth. However in this case, the situation is unlikely to improve soon, as the cost of crude oil is set to continue going up until at least the end of 2021. In the UK, government-levied taxes make up 57% of the average retail price for a litre of petrol, according to the RAC, and the prospect of the government dropping fuel duty looks remote. What this means for you is that you're going to be facing increased fuel bills in the short-to-medium term. Driving more economically will alleviate the pain somewhat, or if you're looking to change your car, look more closely at the fuel consumption figures – or even consider switching to an electric car, which are cheaper for running costs in terms of Miles Per Pound. However bare in mind those electric cars will only be adding on to the cost of your home supply?
