Because it's wrong for us all to use our cars and because those who cannot drive suffer

Young people are allowed to go to work at 16 yet the only means they have of getting to work are public transport (in the area we live in this is not viable) or riding a moped (on today's hectic roads, It's a bit too risky). Why can't the legal driving age be reduced to match?

This is important because myself and many others have had days out, holidays, flights missed and business meetings ruined as a DIRECT result of train delays and/or cancellations. When trying to claim compensation it can take weeks, months, even years to claim and even then may be unsuccessful. The amount of hoops you have to jump through is totally unreasonable and unacceptable. The claims system is deliberately designed to put people off claiming compensation. I recently had a day out to a folk festival totally written off because a train was cancelled and getting the next one, an hour later, meant I would have missed my connection at the other end. The train ticket which records the day, date, time and departure and destination information really ought to be enough.

This is a matter of historic principle. This is a cultural landmark that provides Maesteg with a part of its social identity. There has been a cultural genocide unleashed upon the citizens of the Llynfi Valley when our mine working infrastructure (buildings, railways etc.) were ripped out. Our schools and stonework taken out too. "Ground Zero" now at the old Ewenny factory site as well. All have added to the trauma and social decay. Our miners and others sacrificed to give us our Town Hall. They designed our present heritage. We need to keep not only their spirit but our community spirit alive too.

All would benefit from later evenings

This petition represents a defence of the van-dwelling lifestyle. While the community is very diverse, and many have been pushed into the lifestyle in the face of the housing crisis, it remains a cultural choice and/or is of economic necessity for many van-dwellers whose lives revolve around this mode of dwelling. It is also worth noting here that many people have been born into this lifestyle and wish to preserve their way of life and deserve respect for their cultural differences. Councils have an obligation to promote equality and tackle discrimination. The policy is felt to be disproportionately aligned with the needs of one community – the “settled” community – at the expense of another: the van-dwelling community.

Everyone is being encouraged to reduce single use plastics to help reduce their impact on the environment, yet a large proportion of Aldi’s products come in packaging marked ‘Not yet recycled’.

People die every day from car accidents where people are speeding and there is pressure to drive over the speed limit every day and in every place as people drive too close to encourage you onwards if you are 'too slow' for them. Changing the driving culture of our country will save lives, and save people from hurting others and living with those consequences. The speed awareness course is a tool already out there which if used across the nation could change the way young people drive from the outset. They have changed the culture of smoking, they will be the ones who can change the culture of driving. We adults are failing them in this.

It would be the easiest way to make a positive change, will not hurt nor inconvenience us and will greatly reduce our plastic consumption. It will help us to wean ourselves off plastic towards a smarter, cleaner way to live.

We need to greatly reduce plastic consumption. It can be easily replaced by a cotton cover that people can buy and reuse.

We are throwing billions of tons of plastic away to be recycled a year. And we now know that none of it is being recycled as we thought and there are unsightly plastic mountains in other countries that is our waste. It is shameful.....

Bus gates and lanes make travel to cities overly complicated and disproportionately disadvantage people from outwith the local area. Bus gates are overly complicated and are like traps to catch out the general public who accidentally end up in the wrong lane. In any other instance a safe manoeuvre or detour would correct a navigational error but with bus gates and bus lane cameras any confusion of lane choice becomes a penalty to people who are trying to obey the rules as often there is no way to prevent entering a zone once in a wrong lane on a one way system. Access to city roads should be equal for all vehicles and not restrict the general public from travel. The general public shoud not be subjected to fines or any penalty for trying to navigate round a town in order to buy goods or services to provide for their families.
