• Cut traffic pollution with a Park and Ride
    Too many cars are coming into Cleethorpes and Grimsby leading to a rise in air pollution. Air pollution is hurting the lungs of our children, older people and those with respiratory conditions like asthma. A Park and Ride facility would be the best way forward to cut the air pollution we experience.

  • Reduce Speed on Lucklawhill
    Lucklawhill is a country lane, which is consistently plagued by dangerous speeding traffic. Despite its narrow boundary parametres, and limited traffic capacity, it has been historically a 60 mph zone. Recently, following ongoing concerns, residents sought a reduction in the speed limit, resulting in a reduction to 30 mph. However, this outcome is not sufficient for a number of reasons. Firstly, a 30 mph is an unsafe speed for a narrow country lane with over a dozen blind entrance/exit ways. There are no pavements or pathways to avoid vehicles travelling on the lane. Dog/ leisure walkers, pony hackers, and local wildlife continue to be at risk of speeding cars. Many of the residents have pet animals, and live stock which are placed at increased risk of accident, injury, and fatality. Indeed several residents have had animals killed, and have been faced with significant physical damage to property from vehicles driving at uncontrolled excess speed. It is clear therefore, that local residents and other lane users/ visitors are at best disadvataged, and at worse vulnerable to harm. Secondly, the local authority have not pledged to provide and erect any clear road signage on Lucklawhill which is essential in order to inform road users to reduce their speed. In addition, practical measures such as speed bumps would ensure forced speed reduction, thus increasing safety on the lane. However both speed signage, and practical speed bumps are not considered to be financially viable by the Fife Council. By signing this petition we can demonstrate to Fife Council that we are serious about our concerns, and we wish them to consider our requests.

  • PREVENT PROPOSED MOVE OF BUS STOP OUTSIDE ERIN COURT
    There are already a number of issues with the entrance to erin court that have been reported to genesis ha. General public are using this area to urinate as well as using it as a convenient rubbish tip. Erin court residents feel that by relocating the bus stop directly in front of our entrance, it will be used for more of these undesirable activities. Furthermore, we are extemely concerned about our safety and security if plans to move this bus stop go ahead. It will be impossible to determine (especially late at night) who will be legitimately waiting for a bus and who might use this as an opportunity to loiter and unlawfully gain access into erin court, thus creating a risk of burglary or assault to the residents of erin court

  • Keep Safe Rail Crossings Open.
    Network Rail has a programme of closing non-vehicular Rail Level Crossings, ostensibly to improve safety, although many have no safety issues and the resultant closure or diversion of Public Rights of Way (Footpaths and Bridleways) will severely damage the public's ability to enjoy our wonderful countryside. The process is currently being pushed through in the Anglia region, with 63 crossing closures proposed for Essex alone, but eventually every part of the country will be affected. This scale of closures would have a devastating and unprecedented effect on our Public Rights of Way, destroying or degrading many established routes. Often these are historic paths and most are older than the Railways themselves. Mott Macdonald, the consultants being used by NR, are employing a legal device called a Transport and Works order and involves:- Closure of a large swathe of crossings at a time. No opportunity for the case for each crossing to be tested at a public enquiry. Only a limited programme of consultation in which many local people and the public at large have no knowledge of the plans and their implications. Only limited options being presented and no opportunity for consultees to argue for alternative approaches. Some of NR's solutions destroy the pleasure in using the path, such as diverting it long distances beside the railway, but some are dangerous in themselves where pedestrians are to be directed along roads without verges. Where statistics show a genuine safety issue then action may be necessary but in many cases this is not the case. And if NR were genuinely concerned with safety and not just the convenience of banishing the public from its estate it would be proposing bridges, tunnels, and other safety devices at points of concern, rather than their draconian and undemocratic approach.

  • Parking Meters Must Continue To Accept Cash
    To have to pay by phone only is discriminatory to anyone who a. Does not own a smartphone b. Does not do transactions through their smartphone for security reasons c: Does not want to be forced to pay a 'booking fee' for technology to buy a ticket which they didn't want in the first place! d. Is not a criminal and has no reason to have their parking actions tracked. These meters are also a disaster for our struggling town and city centres if they prevent customers' parking or impede parking for personal caring duties.

  • Stop Greenbelt Loophole Allowing Development in Bardsey Leeds
    Bramham estate in Leeds wants to sell off Red Flagged Green Belt by exploiting a section of the national planning guidelines referred to as 'very special circumstances'. This allows development on Greenbelt if the profits can be used to fund repairs to listed buildings, improve land elsewhere etc. Which would be fine if this were to benefit the surrounding populace. In this case it does not, as visiting Bramham is severely restricted. Bramham has proposed an open day a year to allow visitors should the plans be approved. So Nick Lane Fox would be using the money for home improvements only he would benefit from. We do not believe Nick Lane Fox and the Bramham estate should be allowed to get away with exploiting this loophole. Which will only cause misery to residents in surrounding villages of Scarcroft, East Keswick, Bardsey and Collingham. Collingham who have recently lost land to another development of many houses. We believe this is a test case of sorts and that should it be approved will open the floodgates to similar developments all over the country. Further to Note: The proposed site for build is located on flood plains that have been seen to flood very regularly and already affect existing properties in recent years many times. Amenities within the area are already stretched to breaking point with schools been full and waiting times at the surgery getting longer. The A58 is stretched to capacity at busy times of the day and the further pressure of 140 house with at least two cars each will only add to the mayhem in mornings and evenings.

  • Install a green man road crossing on Warsash Road
    This petition is on behalf of all those who live on Warsash Road/Warsash village who would like a safe place to cross the main road. The pelican crossing needs to be installed on the Warsash road/ near Greenaway Lane/Saxon Close towards Warsash Village. This is a busy road, where it is always hard to cross safely without having to either wait for a completely clear road or waiting for somebody to "flash" their headlamps for you to cross. The road has had some nasty accidents over the years involving pedestrians and collisions with vehicles. With a crossing, this will be preventable and the number of accidents on the road will reduce greatly. Over the last couple of years, I have spoken to lots of residents in the area. All agree that there should have been a green man crossing installed a long time ago. A crossing would benefit us all: children and youngsters would feel safe and confident enough to cross the road, and so would parents, those without their own means of transport and the elderly. Having lived here all my life, I know how unsafe I used to feel crossing the road as a child. So, if like me, you would like a safe place to cross the busy Warsash road, please sign the petition! Thank you

  • Stop cars becoming terrorists' weapons with a new Vehicle Technology Act
    Recent events in London and and Europe have shown how terrorists are using vehicles of all kinds as weapons. This has to be stopped to stop the loss of life and disruption caused by the terrorists weaponising vehicles. Foootnote - just like driverless vehicles post collision system responses can be managed to protect the driver and others from further injury. PLEASE SIGN NOW! So many people have been injured and affected by the latest London atrocity. Action is required immediately. Effective Action can be taken using modern Technology. New Vehicle construction regulations are needed which will: (a) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Warning sensors) triggered when the presence of people or objects with which a vehicle may collide. (b) Compel all vehicles to be equipped with sensors (Collision Sensors) that will detect if a vehicle has actually collided with a person or object. (c) When Warning Sensors are triggered a vehicle alarm system with responses at graduated levels must be automatically operated. (d) When Collision Sensors are triggered the vehicle must be automatically brought to a halt the duration of which will be automatically graduated in time depending on severity. This will not only prevent Weaponising but also all failure to stop events. This should apply to all new vehicles(Warning sensors) sold in the UK no later than 1st January 2023 and all vehicles on the road by no later than 2025 with a government sponsored car modification scheme. PLEASE DO NOT Delay - sign TODAY

  • Make driving theory test be compulsory for all learners before driving on road
    All learners these days can have the opportunity to drive on a public road with an approved driving instructor. Young drivers should not be allowed on public roads without knowing the hazards, speed & stopping distances and should be aware of road signals and signs. I am petitioning that the government and the DVLA/DVSA should put theory test at first before driving with an approved driving instructor.

  • Traffic Calm the A131 in Sudbury
    County Council Elections take place in May. This petition is your opportunity to tell your future Suffolk County Councillor to roll up their sleeves and invest in Sudbury street life. Sudbury's Town, District and County Councillors are well aware of the need for traffic infrastructure modernisation, but other than speculating on a Western Bypass that may happen in a future decade the reality is little if any effort has been made to manage existing traffic beyond the bare minimum. Indeed many villages have better traffic calming measures compared to Sudbury's crumbling roads. The UK Government is beginning to publicly acknowledge the health dangers of emissions and County Council's Nationwide are adopting the 20's Plenty initiative. It's time for Sudbury to Move With The Times.... We recommend the 20's Plenty website for further information on Traffic Calming: http://www.20splenty.org
