Due to Covid-19 many residents have lost their employment or/are relocated to Leicester or Loughborough. There are new jobs in Leicester, Loughborough, Amazon in Kegworth and East Midland Airport. Most of the advertised jobs require applicant to work shift works and weekends. Sky Link bus which runs through Birstall, every 20 minutes, 7 days a week is the only bus service best suited for above residents to secure and keep their employment. Unlike Leicester (3 stops), Loughborough (6 stops), Kegworth and surrounding (5 stops) Birstall residents are discriminated by your company for providing only ONE stop at Harrogate/Sibson Road Birstall. This stop is nearly more than a mile away for residents living near Redhill Circle. We need additional stop at Redhill Circle for residents. The provision of providing additional stop to Birstall Residents living at lower end of Birstall will NOT cost any additional financing to company and it will benefit to residents and your company as there will be more passengers travelling on this route.

Considering the minimum wage, it's already difficult to keep up with car expenses: the road tax, MOT, insurance, fuel and repairs. Introducing a further charge will negatively impact peoples lives! So many of us will be affected by this

South Lane has become a rat run for traffic making a short cut from the A3 to Kingston Road, New Malden. There are no proper traffic calming measures in South Lane; vehicles shoot across the mini roundabouts, rather than circling round them. They tend not to slow down as they approach the roundabouts. South Lane has become a main road for traffic, where it was once a pleasant and safe residential road, it is now a nightmare. There are three schools adjacent to South Lane, Holy Cross, The Study School and Westbury. It is now very difficult crossing the road on South Lane, especially for a parent with a pram and two or three children also in tow or children on their own trying to cross, or for disabled people wanting to cross to get to the local shops, or the elderly who are not able to judge the speed of the cars. Some drivers even 'put their foor down' when they see someone crossing, as though they get a kick out of frightening and intimidating pedestrians. South Lane is no longer a safe road to cross.

Speed limit reduction markers are currently set close to the start of the village in both North and South directions. Vehicles entering and leaving the village are travelling at speed right up to the village boundaries. Properties which are just outside the restricted speed zones have little or no street lighting, and verges which are not maintained by the council. Pedestrians walking into the village are very vulnerable, having to walk on the road as there are no footpath provisions. The A713 is used by some very large haulage vehicles, calming the traffic further out from the village boundaries would also reduce some noise and vibration caused by the heavy goods vehicles.

We have also had the recent destruction of our local lanes at Leighton Lane, Easton Lane, Bagborough Lane and Maesdown Hill, affecting the communities of Evercreech, Stoney Stratton, Pylle, Prestleigh, Pilton and beyond. Please also sign my petition below, lets get this issue sorted! In I agree that the state of our communities roads is unacceptable and that Somerset County Council has h failed o maintain and renew our vital B road network, drains and our verges. This has been made even worse since recent works on Prestleigh Hill 1. I therefore urge County to listen to residents and prioritize roads used by local communities and put on place a proper resurfacing plan that will connect villages and value villages as much as our county A roads. 2. A proper plan to make good the damage done in and around the Village of Evercreech through the many road diversions and the unique pressure out on out B road network due to our proximity to two festival sites that attract thousands of vital visitors on roads designed in the age before the modern motorcar. Decent local Roads are vital for Residents, Local Business and Farmers.

As the government want to encourage more people to cycle, I would like to make cycle helmets compulsory for children, not fashionable I know that ...but 34 years ago my brother cycled up the little street we lived in and toppled off his bike, bumped his head, no speed no injuries to see, but his brain swelled lungs collapsed and a heart attack followed, 7 years old, he was buried 2 weeks later. Helmets didn't exist in normal life then, they do now please make it law

The introduction of new cycle lanes on the High Road has removed significant parking capacity forcing many more cars to park on Chandos Road. This has left residents often unable to park on the road with no other options near by. It has also impacted the businesses at the end of the road.

To improve road safety. There are too many speeding drivers. There have been multiple pet deaths on the road. Concerned about accidents and injuries.

Millions of people are already struggling after COVID-19, to then bring in the expansion of the C Charging zone will have a huge impact on the daily lives of millions of Londoners. With the existing C Charge zone it effects a small amount of Londoners, but with the expansion it will effect some of the poorest families in the U.K. who are already struggling to make ends meet. To be charged £15 a day to travel to work, for childcare and for day to day essentials is shocking and will force more people to lose employment, companies to fold which will drive thousands of people to the welfare system so it becomes a vicious cycle. The C Charge has already been increased this year during this awful pandemic which in its self is a kick in the teeth, families are at tipping point and this could be the thing that tips them over the edge.

It’s making everyone’s life a misery

It is just too much hardship on Londoners and negates payment of road tax

Drivers have been helping to prop up the economy for too long. The Dartford crossing should be free now that we have paid for it but the government back stabbed us. We have suffered enough and any expansion of the congestion charge would mean an expansion of the ULEZ. For someone like me who lives in my car this would be devastating especially during this pandemic and for many months after.
