After being involved in an accident recently and gaining whiplash from it, thankful only whiplash but someone could have been in a worse state than myself all because buses don't have seatbelts, some go down the motorways at the national speed limit without having belts for the passengers. I think we should make it law because normally on the way to college we have secondary school children as well as college and elderly. We need to act on it now as it becomes more apparent that buses can be involved in accidents on the road.

We've been neglected by successive governments. For the economy of the whole country this is essential as well as for the health and well being of our citizens. To meet climate change targets we need fewer polluting cars on our roads and this will only happen with efficient, reliable public transport. Too many people have difficult and stressful journeys each day because of a broken, inefficient and neglected transport system. Urgent action is needed NOW not by 2030.

I used to cycle to work in the summer and at weekends but storing my bike is a real problem. I used to lock it up outside my home until it was stolen. Now, it is rusting in my back garden when I am not trying to manoeuvre it through my home by any weather. There are many benefits to cycling - environmental, financial, social (with friends and family), physical and mental health and just pure enjoyment. I know many more people would cycle but cannot as: - Live in a flat - don't have outside space/ shed - Live in a terraced house - Have to carry bike up/ down stairs - Want to start cycling but no point buying bike as no convenient storage - Don't have space for all family bikes I have been trying to campaign to have Cyclehoop Bikehangars https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars in the local area for the past 6 months by contacting councillor, Deborah Huckle ([email protected]). I alongside another neighbour, would fill a whole bikehangar just with both our families - thus rendering the financing of the bikehangar viable. In October 2018, Ms Huckle shared the following update " Balmoral Road is on the list I passed to Cyclehoop last week for them to conduct a site visit to identify the best location for a bikehangar, following this we need to conduct a public consultation to ensure the majority of local residents are in support and then finally we get sign off from our Head of Service. I would estimate the whole process to take around 6 months." I know there is a lot of interest for this sort of scheme in our side of the borough and in Brent in general. Compared to other councils in London there are very few bikehangars in Brent. Once this local campaign is successful for mentioned streets/ area - I am happy to roll this out to a bigger area such as Willesden Green. However, first I want to understand the impact of a local campaign. Councillors are very keen to see the financial viability of this scheme on pockets of areas in a borough. To keep up the pressure and ensure we secure bikehangar(s) where we desire, could you please sign this petition. Please also contact Brent Council https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/contact-council AND Cyclehoop https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars to express your interest for this scheme. Once we have achieved sufficient support I will take the petition to Deborah Huckle so she can use it to continue to back the case with Brent Council for our local area.

Our rural communities highly depend upon essential bus services, which are due to be cut in line with Aberdeenshire Council budgets from April 2019. Some local communities in Aberdeenshire, for example Lumsden, have a population of under 300 people and are already rated 1 (the lowest) for Geographic Access to Services on the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation. This means that Lumsden is among many other rural villages with lack of access to essential services. In fact 44% of Aberdeenshire is ranked within Scotland's most deprived for service access. The bus routes provide vital transport links. As a community, Lumsden, like many other villages in Aberdeenshire, does not have the amenities needed for people to survive independently of local towns. There is no shop, or nursery. No doctors or dentists, limited employment, and as of April 2019, there will be very limited opportunities to access these essential services without owning or having access to a car. Our communities do not believe you can measure the impact of the proposed cuts simply by counting the how many people use the bus and using this as a marker for cutting our lifelines. Although numbers are small, they are used regularly and out of necessity. These cuts will hit the most vulnerable people in our community; the young, the elderly and those who are low or unwaged. We believe this will contribute to wider social and economic inequality, causing increased isolation and the negative impacts associated with this. Aberdeenshire Council announced these cuts without prior consultation and although we understand the budgets are tight, we believe that the social, environmental and economic impacts of these cuts will far outweigh any saving that might be made in the short-term. Finally, these short-sighted cuts to bus routes are at odds with priorities outlined within the Aberdeenshire Council Plan. Our communities were consulted to inform these priorities and the council will fail in the outlined aims to: "Have the best possible transport across communities; reducing poverty and inequalities and their pledge to tackle climate change" As such they need to be held accountable for their short-sighted and unbelievably damaging actions. We will not stand for the ruthless tearing down of our public services that disproportionately affect rural communities in Aberdeenshire. We disavow the council's actions in this area and will not tolerate cuts that will leave us even more isolated and disconnected than we already are. We demand these decisions be reversed with immediate effect.

To greatly reduce traffic in rush hour, reduce emissions by reducing traffic. To serve the community (during school hours) in rural areas and the elderly in the city (route via hospitals , doctors, post offices, swimming pools).

Our British lorry drivers are dwindling at an alarming rate and the shortage is becoming a national concern. Lorries are the life blood of the countries demand for consumption. The transport of goods is vital for the survival of all of us. We're all responsible for this as we're all consumers. In fact the only reason for lorries on our roads is us... All of us. With a career change I am now a dry powder tanker driver. I financed this myself which cost thousands. And was having a discussion with a family Man who was not happy in his present career. I suggested to him, why not an HGV driver. His reply was an anxious "I would love that, but however, I have neither time or the finances to do this". I spoke with a mother of a school leaver who suggested they had not heard or thought of this option. We desperately need to get the backing of the government, industry and hauliers to promote the finance, career promotion and training of new British HGV drivers.

Congestion between Beaconsfield and Penn is worsening and this large gap in the market needs to be filled. On such a busy road like the B474 it is surprising there isn't a regular service bus route.

Nuclear warheads are regularly transported in convoys on public roads to and from the atomic weapon factories at Aldermaston and Burghfield, and RNAD Coulport on Loch Long, where the weapons are stored and loaded onto Trident submarines. A nuclear warhead contains radioactive material and high explosive and this poses serious questions about public safety. The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 requires Category 1 Responders (including Local Authorities) to conduct a risk assessment of potential threats and to keep the public informed. According to the Ministry of Defence (MoD) document, Local Authority and Emergency Services Information (LAESI) Edition 10, if there was a serious accident the MoD would look after the nuclear weapon, but Local Authorities, Emergency Services and the Health Service would be responsible for potentially contaminated casualties, evacuating people nearby and advising many more to stay indoors. We want Cumbria County Council to openly review how prepared the civil authorities are and inform the public about their findings. Then the people of Cumbria can decide whether this transport poses an unacceptable risk.

We need to reduce Climate change and the UK needs to play it’s part in doing so and offer an alternative to taking the car every where we go. The government want’s us to chance our vehicles away from Diesel and Petrol at our expense with very little or no incentive to do so.

We have heard plenty from those unhappy with measures intended to improve air quality. The council needs to know there are also many people who support cleaner air for Bath, even if it does come at the price of some personal cost or inconvenience.

Education Authority plans to close Lisnaskea School Bus depot as a cost-saving exercise are unacceptable and a threat to OUR children’s health and safety! When Lisnaskea school bus depot is closed (and sold off?), the closest bus depot will be in Enniskillen which will mean school buses will either have to travel there for refueling or refuel in commercial fore courts in Lisnaskea. This will be very wasteful and bad for the environment and will further increase congestion in the county town. Closing the Lisnaskea depot is yet another local service being removed from our villages and towns but there's no reason for this to happen. Once it is closed all the school buses operating from Roslea to Lisbellaw will be based out of Enniskillen. This risks delays of up to one hour in getting replacement buses in event of a winter breakdown - the distance for a spare bus to come out could be more than 22 miles and there's no one on duty to even take a call before 7am. What's more there is no mobile phone coverage east of Lisnaskea so a driver might have to walk a considerable distance, leaving children on an unheated school bus, to the nearest house to use a land-line. If there are delays in getting a school bus to replace one broken down in the cold - not only are children put at risk but parents who rely on school buses being on time could have to arrange childcare at short notice or risk missing work. The uncertainty over bus provision could cause children enrolled to take exams disruption. The last thing the Education Authority appears to be thinking about is the needs of children or their families. But this is not all - the school bus drivers are hugely concerned about the risk of accidents from school buses which are too big to refuel safely at local commercial service stations hitting children or even adults leaving the service station. The Education Authority bus drivers are very concerned about this move. While the EA tell us that it will save money - we don't understand how this could be the case. Sending buses to the Enniskillen depot for refuelling will cost more – the only possible explanation is that EA are looking to sell off Lisnaskea Bus Depot! We are asking that you help the School Bus drivers in their fight to protect the children and keep open Lisnaskea School Bus Depot. Please take the time to sign our petition and share with your friends online.
