Reschedule bin pick-ups back to every two weeksAll of our neighbours, including ourselves, are storing bags of trash in every nook and cranny of our bungalows, other neighbours bins, or just leaving outside. It is unsanitary and unhealthy. Animals tear them open and spread garbage everywhere. The smell during this hot weather is unbearable plus the increase in the fly population. Many of us are pensioners and this additional burden is not fair to anyone.561 of 600 SignaturesCreated by William Benton

Plumtree Road SafetyThe safety of our school children is at serious risk. It is very difficult for pedestrians to cross this road near the complicated junction where traffic also moves quickly on the approach down Main Road and also down Station Road from Keyworth. The layout of the staggered crossroads makes pedestrian crossings (typically parents accompanying infant and junior school children) extremely hazardous. Additionally, our own research has shown passing traffic to regularly be exceeding the current limit of 30mph, even at school start and finishing times, which leads the road to be even more perilous for the very young children who cross it so regularly. This is despite current limited traffic calming measures in place.234 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Dr Paul Malone

It will also help halt the process causing longer financial uncertainty to Cuardrilla.338 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Lee Burrows

Stop the St James's Surgery relocation to North LynnMany elderly patients who live opposite in the care homes will now have further to travel with no easily accessible bus routes. It's current location is close to the center of town and therefore easier to get to a chemist after your visit to the surgery.109 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Francis Bone

Revise the Plans for Staplegrove RampsWe've been aware TDBC have been planning to replace the aging metal Mini Ramp at Staplegrove for a long time. As far as we're aware, there has been no user group consultation with the skateboarding, BMXing or other communities in the town, The plans have been passed without any proper consultation with the wheel sports community in Taunton. The design shows the existing 4 foot mini being replaced with a skatelite 6 foot mini and a separate 10 foot vert ramp. Which aren't connected in anyway. The plans are completely outdated and unwanted by the overwhelming majority of the demographic it would apply to. We already have several ramps exactly like the ones that are proposed in the local vicinity and not one of them is used for it's intended purpose because they have absolutely no appeal. They are cheap and horrible things; Skatelite ramps are of a time now gone and so in part are these kind of basic designs. Councils all over the country have clocked that these ramps aren't wanted and are opting for concrete parks and ramps designed by professional skatepark builders. Hamilton Park is a well used and well loved park because of the fact that time and care was spent planning, designing and corresponding with the right people to get the right thing built. With next to no correspondence with the people that would actually be using the facility, this WILL be a complete waste of the councils, tax payers and other funders money. Viridoor Green and Lyngford Park are perfect examples of this. The right people were not involved with planning and there are now two parks that are not used and have been essentially written off to the community. The planning application can be found here. Along with PDF links to the proposed plans. http://www2.tauntondeane.gov.uk/asp/webpages/plan/PlAppDets.asp?casefullref=34/17/0010 While the planning has already been passed, we feel it's not too late to let TDBC hear our voice. If you agree that the plans for two separate outdated ramps should be revised and replaced with a properly up to date professionally designed concrete ramp, then please sign this petition. I'm sure I speak for almost every person whether they be a skateboarder, BMXer, rollerblader, when I say that we do not want these awful ramps!285 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Ant Parker

Change Taffs Well to a well enforced 20mph speed limit throughoutAfter speaking to residents along the full length of the Village, the majority of people mentioned either suffering near misses with speeding vehicles, being fed up of 'boy-racer' types speeding noisily through through our streets at all hours and also disdain at users of the A470 using our village as a short-cut. We have only one speed camera by The Swan Inn aimed at slowing people down as they enter the Village from Nantgarw. Firstly - this only slows down drivers at the first 50ft of Cardiff Road, at which point they can drive any speed they like past the school, shops and surgery. Secondly, the camera doesn't stop everybody from speeding through the Village from the Tongwynlais end and exiting the village at speeds of approximately 50mph towards Nantgarw. The traffic situation needs urgent attention and we, the residents are now prepared to enter an official dialogue with the Local Authority with the view of agreeing a plan of action to make our community a much safer place.85 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Dave Chamberlain

Local residents against Velothon Wales road closures.The annual Velothon of Wales and the route are inconvenient and disrupt the lives of local people, cutting some residents off from local amenities, family and work over an unacceptable period. The route and length of time the roads are closed for this event are unsuitable and this offers little benefit for ordinary residents or small businesses, some of whom have to close. Some cannot get to work or have to take lengthy detours to do so. Some roads were closed before the advertised times, officials were misinformed about alternative routes and roads did not reopen at the planned times. The route and event, if it is to remain in the area, must be adapted as to not close major A roads or limit the movement of local residents for prolonged periods of time. Roads should be closed in stages and vehicles should be free to pass until the stage of the race is within the vicinity. What would happen in some areas if there was a need for emergency vehicles to attend a critically ill person or fire? How would patients or family attend A & E? How do people visit sick relatives? We ask that the organisers are more considerate of the people their event impacts and a consultation of local residents is held for future events so their concerns are aired and acted upon. Consider a rolling road block, adjusting the route to give communities or areas a break or use improved B roads.315 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Andrew Evans
