• Make Fox Hill Road safer
    Our darling cat Lola was ran over on Friday 4th May. She is currently in the pet hospital and has had to have her jaw rewired, lost a tooth and has to be fed through a tube in her nose. Lola will make a full recovery but imagine if this was one of my two children. Lola was lucky but if the car that hit her had hit one of my children then they would be fighting for their lives in hospital. Yes this road is a busy road and one that people pass through a lot. There are just not enough speed restrictions in place. There is ONE speed bump as you get to the brow of the hill and then its free reign and people gather so much speed especially coming from Grenoside. It is 30 MPH. People do up to 50 MPH. My children play on this road and so do a lot of children. My car insurance is high because of my post code. My car wing mirror has been smashed numerous times and over the weekend a car has ploughed into parked cars. I want Sheffield City Council to consider putting speed bumps on this road and to raise awareness to drivers that this is a place where we live and not a rally road and just remember the key message "it's 30 Miles Per Hour for a reason".

  • UK government, rescue Rohingya refugees at risk of death in forthcoming cyclone season
    About the refugee camp at Cox's Bazar: Cox’s Bazar is one of the most frequently flooded regions of one of the most flood-prone countries on Earth. Bangladesh’s southern tip is fewer than three metres above sea level, with a triangular coast that funnels the ocean together. It makes high tides higher, and puts even major cities such as Chittagong within the water’s grasp. As well as heightening the risk of floods, Bangladesh’s geography also makes for extraordinarily deadly storms. A cyclone in 1970 killed 300,000 people. Another in the same area in 1991 left an estimated 10 million people homeless. Cyclone Sidr, a decade ago, killed as many as 10,000 people. Should cyclones bear down on the region again, as they have in the past two years, they could collide with nearly 700,000 new residents sleeping in tents of bamboo and tarpaulin. Aid agencies fear a second catastrophe is about to strike the Rohingya. “Lives will be lost,” says Daphnée Cook, Save the Children’s communications manager. “It’s just a question of how many.” As many as 200,000 refugees are estimated to be at direct risk from landslides or floods and require urgent evacuation, separate assessments by the Bangladesh government and aid groups have concluded. Most have nowhere to go. Cox’s Bazar is a safe haven from Burmese government persecution, but it is also an enormous detention centre. At least 27 military checkpoints around the camps restrict the refugees from leaving. Humanitarian agencies have moved at least 15,000 families living in the path of floods or landslides so far, but concede that there is not enough suitable land to relocate all those at risk. Assisting the Rohingya to build strong homes is also out of the question. Bangladeshi public sentiment is starting to tire of the burden of more than a million displaced people, and it is an election year. Bricks roads and cement drains have been allowed, but not concrete homes. Like the presence of schools, they might suggest the refugees are in Cox’s Bazar to stay. from https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/27/rohingya-refugees-cyclone-monsoon-season-bangladesh-myanmar

  • 20 mph for residential roads in Epsom & Ewell
    We have a nursery in our local church at the end of our road. Our road is used as a cut through to get to Chessington Road, hence we get lots of speeding cars down our road. Our kitten was hit by one of these cars last week and we are devastated as he sadly died. We need to do something, although we cannot bring him back. Which is why I am starting this petition.

  • Public Transport Access
    In London most single and double decker buses are able to accomodate disabled passengers by lowering the step or deploying a ramp for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. It has been noticed that a large number of cities and towns outside of London do not seem to have a similar service for the disabled passengers in their communities. For example: in the Greater Manchester area, where some buses do have a step that can be lowered for disabled passengers, they either do not work or only do so intermittantly, therefore causing disabled passengers with crutches a lot of distress when entering the bus and where wheelchairs and mobility scooters are concerned, where the step cannot be lowered, those disabled persons are unable to travel. The picture above shows one of the latest buses to be put into service in Germany. If you examine it closely you can see that the set of doors in the middle has a sign for wheelchair and buggy access. This includes a deployable ramp. This design should be a standard requirement on public transport that use roads.

  • Don't build a tunnel at Stonehenge
    Because I like catching a glimpse of Stonehenge as I drive past on the A303. Putting the road in a tunnel will spoil this pleasure for millions, and their children.

  • Regular Day Bus Service Between Beaconsfield, Penn and Hazelmere
    In Beaconsfield congestion keeps getting worst and it is mostly due to people driving into the train station and to school during peak times and this means that it can take you 30 minutes to get into Beaconsfield on the Penn Road. Also Knotty Green is currently a blank spot for a regular bus service and has a 30 minute walk into Beaconsfield to get the bus/train. So an extension of these routes would reduce congestion and provide a vital link between Beaconsfield, Knotty Green, Penn and High Wycombe.

  • Safer roads in Penpedairheol
    So many children along with families and elderly are put at risk each day crossing the main road through Penpedairheol. There has been a number of accidents and children knocked down by the sheer number of cars which use the roads and the lack of visability due to parked cars. It is essential that our local council pay attention to ensuring we live in a safe environment in order to prevent a fatality.

  • FREE Parking on Princes Parade
    Shepway is fast becoming a tourist location that is popular for many. For us who live here, the beaches and canal are the places we go for leisure, for exercise, for stress relief, to enjoy and the council are taking that away from us. We should be able to enjoy this area without paying! Not only are they charging, they have put the machines the opposite side of the road, a danger waiting to happen. Sign this petition, show support and let us put pressure on these councillors!
