URGENT PLEA FOR SPEED CAMERAS ON HALLIWELL ROAD BOLTONHaving speed cameras on Halliwell road is important particularly when we have the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We have school runs, lunch times as well as the commutes to and from work. As drivers on the road, we are responsible for driving safely. Unfortunately, a minority have made Halliwell Road a dangerous place to cross. Even though we have traffic lights and zebra crossings, it just isn't enough! We need to implement speed cameras to keep the community safe and to catch those who are driving dangerously.343 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Naaznin Van der Westhuizen

Bring back our Open Bus DayThe Lothian bus open door day has been a huge part of bus enthusiasts like myself across Edinburgh and further afield. It is also an opportunity for the wider Edinburgh community to be part of there bus services and learn more about sustainable travel and electric buses. It was such a fun day out, with the bus wash being a highlight of the trip. My family even used the bus wheels as a measurement for my height each year. It is very much missed and I ask Lothian Buses to reinstate it for 2023 and beyond. Let’s show Lothian buses how much we miss this valuable community event and show support for our drivers and how much we appreciate our local transport networks34 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jacob Reid

LEAVE our Bridge ALONEPlease help Residents, Local Business, Local Interest and Heritage bodies STOP Essex County Council rushing through this application to demolish and replace the bridge. This plan will cause significant temporary, permanent and ongoing harm from the HGVs enabled to use this inappropriate route and offers no benefit to, and will damage, Britain's Tourist sector, local social, culture* economy and environment** and will negate years of careful conservation and irreparably reduce the contribution of Finchingfield to the National, Regional and local heritage environment and unique character of this area. *the proposed works will prevent Finchingfeild residents using their village green for the Coronation celebrations in May. **otters have been filmed in the pond adjacent to the bridge.4,469 of 5,000 SignaturesCreated by Michael Staines

Give Barry its fair share of "Levelling up" funding to ensure its Waterfront regeneration!!In 1913, Barry Docks was the largest coal exporting port in the world but today the Docks waterfront is looking to transform into a place where the community can enjoy and to create a better more environmentally friendly future. The funding would have gone towards developing a new water sports facility at Barry Waterfront and a new marina at the site known as the mole. The bid for funding was a strong one and we are determined to do what we can to ensure it succeeds in the next funding round.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Barry Green Party

Save dog rescues from having to shut up shop - putting thousands of dogs at riskThe dog rescue sector is already facing a major crisis. Following an explosion of dog ownership during Covid, the return to ‘normality’ has seen a huge increase in the number of dogs coming into the rescue system - with not enough space for them all. It means so many dogs that could go on to have happy lives in new homes don’t get the chance, and instead are being euthanised. And there's an even bigger crisis looming. Dog rescues need to have insurance cover to operate, but over the past few months more and more insurers have either withdrawn cover for rescues completely - including for long-standing rescue customers - and others have increased their premiums to an unaffordable level or put in restrictions that are unworkable for small charity rescues. If this trend continues, many smaller rescues will be forced to close leaving even more, healthy, well-adjusted, dogs with no-where to go. As a nation of dog lovers, do we really want to see mass scale euthanisation of dogs because of a set of ‘perfect storm’ factors driven by Covid? The approach being taken by insurers doesn’t penalise those that caused the problems, it just puts dogs and those that work responsibly to save them at risk. Instead of a knee-jerk withdrawal, the insurance industry should work with responsible rescues to promote good practices, ensuring future risk is sensibly managed. Without this the current crisis in the dog world will only get worse.34,870 of 35,000 SignaturesCreated by Pro Dogs Direct

Remove plastic packaging from supermarket fruit and vegPotatoes, apples, bananas, carrots and onions are the top five most wasted fruit & veg products in UK households. Over a one-year period, it is estimated that selling these five items loose (unpackaged) would: – Prevent an estimated 1.7 billion pieces of plastic packaging from being thrown away – Avoid over 77,000 tonnes of food waste by allowing people to buy the exact amount they need – Save shoppers a combined total of over £85m in uneaten food Removing plastic packaging from these five fruit & veg products is not only a simple, effective and proven way to reduce the effects of the plastic problem, but it can also cut food waste and save us money. Right now, the industry still argues that plastic packaging protects our food in transit, extends freshness, prevents spoilage and reduces waste. Something isn’t adding up… France has already banned 30 fruits and vegetables from being wrapped in plastic packaging. This year, Spain, Portugal and Luxembourg will join them. It’s time for the UK to do the same. Potatoes, apples, bananas, carrots and onions are often available loose in supermarkets alongside their packaged counterparts. We want them loose, and only loose. Add your name today and call on supermarkets to increase the availability and affordability of packaging-free fruit & veg so that all of us can #ChooseLoose.

Hythe Skate Park - New RampsHythe skate park isn't leaner friendly. This puts a lot of people off riding for the first time and them missing out on so much. The friendships you make. The reward you from learning new tricks while you ride. These 3 new simple ramps would be perfect for people starting out as well as experienced riders. I teach skateboarding and live I in Hythe. I travel to other skateparks like Deal, and F51 to teach because it’s difficult to learn at Hythe. The lips on each quarter pipe that are already there are in serious need of resurfacing. Also the ramps are big, that’s not a bad thing. We just want to add some smaller ramps to encourage new riders and support the local community that’s already there.372 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Jammer Skates

NHS to make demand upon BOE for fundingThe Governor of the Bank of England has an obligation to ensure the supply of money is there for when it’s actually needed! Neither the NHS or the BOE is intended as political, it should be therefor without any sort of need of justification from politicians possible for the NHS Managers at law to seek cash for whatever the NHS needs are, According to the constitution; it should be common consideration that the NHS Managers are form of working Peers (like an olde Barons committee) and they are with constitutional powers that do not require Downing Streets oversight, And as far as law is concerned it is lawful for the NHS Managers to draft the lawful notices / demands to the BOE to fulfil in good conscience, without delay and in accordance with the constitution to maintain the peace of the realm, to ensure the law (including sealed peace treaties such as from perhaps as far back as 1215) is upheld and so people can be treated as necessary and to ensure good health in their body or mind, and so that no man, woman or child shall be in effect done a tort/neglect by an inept or incompetent government-in-disarray which seemingly has lost its head at sea; and so us simple folk who are grounded in truth, here in Britain; England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or the United Kingdom don’t consider it a necessary lawful prerequisite in accordance with the constitution for the NHS managers to go to say a Treasury Minister or Health Minister… in-fact; we consider it is a repugnant behaviour for NHS managers to not go directly to the Bank of England, and this declaration shall be used by NHS managers as an empowerment for them, we do not consent to any Treasury MINISTER or any-one else to attempt to with-hold funds or to have a monopoly and to then be able to use that monopoly to inflict unjustified punish upon the people by politicising whatever reason they have not to save a child, to treat the wounds physical or psychological of people in good time, free at the point of need, By signing / giving your assent to this declaration; you make known with sincerity and in a solemn way that you consider it is truthful and appropriate, and not something repugnant (political) for NHS Managers to write to the BOE directly to extract necessary funds & You also make it knowing that as far as creditor of the system; you uphold your right as creditor & as beneficiary to grant the NHS Managers/NHS Trusts to go directly to the Bank of England, that you give “consent of the governed” to put aside any potential Government political (and cruel) agenda, for the sake of the crown and country, but more importantly to please the Almighty the most merciful the most beneficent and you declare solemnly so you will let no man or thing do anything to frustrate your lawful will & that you swear any-one who neglects the issue of adequate funding of the NHS is a tyrant and doesn’t represent the will of the people and is devoid of consent of the governed and that anyone else who does not work towards ensuring the funding of the National Health Service is either a victim, incapable or a criminal, and if a criminal that someone who is breaching our peace and who has to be held accountable under the law and even if He were a Minister or Governor or President or whatever… He/She/They should be held accountable, You voluntarily without compulsion make your sincere will made known in this open forum now and forever and that you pray by the Almighty that sense is restored; that equity is upheld and that people are not dying needlessly or waiting weeks, months, years to be healed, to have illnesses or concerns considered you hereby seal/sign by the Almighty as your witness this declaration and command/demand that all relevant whatever positions be put on notice and to fulfil the will so help us Almighty,6 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Monawer Farooq

36 Seconds to Save Lives: 40 mph for Westonzoyland RoadThere are two main reasons behind this campaign: First, that of safety. Anyone who uses this road regularly knows how dangerous it is: collisions occur all too frequently, many of which result in death or life-changing injuries. “Reducing the speed from 60 mph to 40 mph reduces the probability of fatality in the event of an accident by 40 percent.” (https://www.mildenhall.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/949200/40-is-the-new-60-slow-down-stay-safe/) Second, that of the climate crisis: reducing the speed limit here would result in reduced emissions, and greater uptake of active travel (walking & cycling). The current situation on Westonzoyland Road presents an unacceptable safety risk. Driving at 40 instead of 60 mph over this short two-mile stretch would theoretically add one minute to a journey. In reality, though, no-one drives at 60 all the way - it’s usually around 50, which makes a difference of just 36 seconds. All other routes in and out of Bridgwater are safer because they are slower and wider. Lower speed limits encourage better driving, and more space allows for safer overtaking. Quantock Road (A39): 40 mph until Sandford Hill / New Road roundabout, where segregated cycle path begins. Taunton Road (A38): 40 mph from Showground Road to North Petherton, plus segregated bike route. Bath Road (A39): 40 mph from motorway bridge to Bawdrip. Bristol Road (A38): 50 mph from Ascot Drive to Dunball, dual carriageway plus segregated cycle route. Westonzoyland Road (A372): 60 mph, no off-road cycle lanes Westonzoyland Road is the outlier: it is a dangerous road as it is narrow and bendy with blind junctions, has very deep ditches and is still subject to the historical 60 mph national speed limit. The speed limit is the only realistic option that can be changed to make it safer. Many more drivers have died on this stretch than cyclists. Driver-only crashes outnumber those involving cyclists by at least 7 to 1 (but the same ratio would be a fair assumption). Benefits to all road users include: Safer driving means lower costs: less fuel, cheaper insurance. Driving at a reduced speed is better for the environment. Less traffic disruption: road closures are all too frequent an event which makes driving faster a false economy. Safer for active travel - drivers forced to drive but would like to occasionally cycle but can't because the road is too dangerous at 60mph. People who live in Cannington, Woolavington, Puriton and North Petherton can all access Bridgwater by active travel (on foot or by bicycle) with relative safety. Westonzoyland residents, however, cannot. People are put off walking or cycling this road because it is too dangerous, so they end up driving instead. The A372 is currently used only by a brave few walkers and cyclists as a commuting route. With improved safety, it has the potential to carry many more. This is important as we try to shift Bridgwater towards active travel. National Cycle Network route 3 crosses the A372 from Rugg’s Drove to River Lane. The situation is a major safety concern for Sustrans (who have responsibility for the NCN). The ultimate long-term goal is a segregated active travel route between Westonzoyland and Bridgwater, but this will take years to be realised, while lives continue to be put at risk. Reducing the speed limit is a quick and effective way to improve the safety of the route for everyone.1,052 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Colin Gummer

Fix the Warm Home Discount scam.Many tens of thousands of disabled and vulnerable people will be surprised to find they no longer qualify for the Warm Home Discount. And this year, even with the fuel discount schemes in place, those affected are paying more than double the 2021 prices used to form the new WHD rules. The change has not been advertised, and the WHD rules are unclear. The public have been misinformed and led to believe the Government is protecting the most vulnerable from fuel poverty. The reality is not widely known, and unless changed, tens of thousands of lives will be significantly worse off.38 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Russell Thompson
