Reduce speed limit outside Haygrove schoolCurrently the speed limit outside Haygrove School, Bridgwater is 30mph. I think it would be beneficial to change the speed limit to 20mph. This is a road that needs to be crossed by many students immediately after they leave school. Not only would this ensure students have a safe walk to and from school, it would encourage them to walk which has a positive impact on the environment. However, parents drop children off directly outside school which can become unsafe for other drivers and children.94 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Eleanor Newman

Road vehicles should use headlights at all times.It is quite alarming how many vehicles of all types do not use headlights in conditions of poor visibility, such as heavy rain, mist and even fog, dawn and dusk light, etc. Even in bright sunlight vehicles are far more visible. Vehicle visibility is an absolute priority. It reduces accident rates and saves lives .The EU ruled that from 2011 all vehicles should be fitted with DRL's (Direct Running Lights) which are switched on automatically when the engine is started. (This does not appear to turn on the rear lights.) There are many vehicles made before this date, and there is a mass of evidence that vehicles can be seen far more clearly under all weather and light conditions if they have their headlights and rear lights on. Please sign this petition. It takes only 30 seconds to help make our roads safer.17 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Paul Humpoletz

Reinstate the X20 Bus service through Broomhill/TogstonThe new X20 bus route no longer passes through the North Broomhill & Togston villages, the residents now face up to a 3 mile rural walk to the nearest bus stop based in Hadston village to use the X20 bus service to reach the two nearest towns. We have elderly, frail & young members of our community whom are too vulnerable to make an approximate 30 minute walk between rural villages and cannot navigate the suggested alternative bus routes as they all require bus changes in different villages with a considerable distance between bus stations. An alternative service (X18) allowing passengers to commute from North Broomhill & Togston village to Hadston village and only runs once an hour, has the bus stop located at what is known as the 'road end' thus these vulnerable members of our community have to walk a considerable distance in order to access their local Doctors surgery, Children's Care Centre, Community Centre, pharmacy and shopping precinct. We would really appreciate your help in highlighting our concerns and asking DR Manfred Rudhart CEO Arriva North East to reinstate a vital bus route for those most with need and vulnerability in our community. Many thanks for taking the time to read this.189 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Caroline Rogan

Fair FinesUnfair on the poorest in society. The new speeding fine is 1.5 x the weekly wage up to a maximum £1,000. So someone on a £300 would be fined £450 and a celebrity on £100,000 a week would pay £1,000 nother £150,000. I believe that the Lower paid individual is less able to pay 1.5 x the weekly wage. So why is there a cap, celebrities will pay more than £1,000 on a bottle of champagne. This not fair and promotes the richest being above the law! The limit must be removed.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Alan Kellett

Get Southeastern off the railways!Southeastern do not provide a functioning service. There are frequent delays and cancellations. The service, which a lot of people use to go to work and for their social life, is not reliable. People are having hours added onto their working week because of their incompetence and some are even losing their jobs.21 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Amanda Keith

Keep Huthwaite CleanFor months, Leedale lorries have been going into the Brierley Forest Golf Club in Huthwaite, Notts, tipping loads of waste soil and rubble for redevelopment and then coming out and spreading muck all over the local roads (Main Street and Common Road), causing the roads to be dirty, filthy and slippery. There has been a lot of cars skidding. Peoples clothing, cars and houses have been getting covered in dirty spray coming off the roads. The lorries have also had a lot of stones, gravel and large chunks of rock and soil dropping off their loads, causing danger to road users and pedestrians, chipping paintwork on cars, flicking up at passer by's and also blocking drains. The safety of our children has been affected (the conditions of the roads outside the schools) The lorries have been parking on the pavements on Main street and restricting view of the pedestrians crossing the road, making it less safe. The lorry drivers have been reported to have bad road manners and attitude, speeding, pulling out in front of people and generally not having very good ettiquette. The people of Huthwaite and even residents of Sutton-in-Ashfield who go through Huthwaite via the common road - have all had enough. There has been numerous complaints to the golf club owners, to Leedale, to Ashfield District Council, to the local Police, to the Highways Agency. Nothing seems to be done. People have protested. There's an outrage on social media. Some people have tried to block the road to stop the lorries from passing and got arrested. Nothing seems to change. Enough is enough! Time to clean up your act!!359 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Alex Ivanov

Better late evening services from Aberdeen to LaurencekirkA later service leaving Aberdeen around 2345 would allow the residents of Laurencekirk and the surrounding area to go into Aberdeen and make use of the cinema, theatre or even just a nice leisurely meal with friends without the expense of a taxi costing around £80!301 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Grant Edward

Keep the BBC Travel website and App openThe service is used by many, many people on a daily basis for both work and leisure. There is no current or planned alternative source of this information in one place. BBC claims it will save just part of a total saving of £15m per year by cutting this public service.11,127 of 15,000 SignaturesCreated by Clive Rockingham
