Save Fakenham Sure StartFakenham Gateway Sure Start children’s centre is an important life line for the local community. It offers support and assistance to families - with out the Sure Start centre we would be lost. The council is currently considering a £5 million cut to the budget for children services, putting the future of Fakenham Sure Start centre at risk. If the centre closed it would leave local families without vital support. http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/politics/fears-norfolk-children-s-centres-could-close-as-county-hall-considers-5m-cut-1-5231037365 of 400 SignaturesCreated by Rosie Newstead

Stop Stagecoach cutting services in the North East of ScotlandThe Scottish Govenment National Transport Strategy sets out three Key Strategic Outcomes to be used as the guiding principles at national, regional and local level when developing strategy and prioritising resources. These are: Improved journey times and connections, to tackle congestion and lack of integration and connections in transport. Reduced emissions, to tackle climate change, air quality, health improvement. Improved quality, accessibility and affordability, to give choice of public transport, better quality services and value for money or alternative to car.214 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Loretta Ransom

CLEAN AIR FOR LONDON AND UKEach breath we take causes us harm. 25 people are killed each day as a result of air pollution in London. A child born a Londoner today could be 23 before they could expect to breathe clean air. More than 950 UK schools are on or near illegally polluted roads. Children's lungs are stunted by this exposure resulting in life long health impacts. Michael Gove recently announced that heavily polluting vehicles will be allowed on our roads until 2040. This is criminal negligence. Our government are spending UK taxes fighting a legal battle on this issue rather than working to save lives. They have been in court 3 time already. We know clean air is possible and we demand it as a human right. Because our politicians refuse to take responsibility a group of compassionate citizens #stopkillinglondoners are in prison as of 7th Nov 2017 after a week of radical direct actions. They are currently on hunger strike (9-11-17).120 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Clare Farrell

Save The current route of our Number 32/33 Fintry Bus ServiceXplore are proposing two alternative routes to the 32/33 bus which would cut out Forfar Road. Their consultation highlights that the route could also stay as it is. You can see the proposed two route changes at this link http://nxbus.co.uk/files/NXDundee/misc/FintryRouteReview-PublicConsultationDocument.pdf This re-routing would severely restrict people's ability for travel: • make it harder for people with disabilities and older people with mobility problems to catch a bus and get out of the house, potentially leading to loneliness and social isolation • safety concerns of having to work through a scheme to get to/and from the bus • get to and from work • visit friends and relatives • access education and training • access to hospitals, doctors, dentists and other medical services • access to leisure activities including town and countryside locations Fewer buses on the road will mean more traffic congestion and delays which affects all of us.173 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Michael Hughes

Install Electric Vehicle chargers in Glossop and High PeakThe High Peak area is almost completely devoid of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Between Stalybridge and Sheffield there is a distance of over 30 miles without any publicly available chargers. Given the serious traffic congestion in the area you would expect the local authority to be doing all they can to promote alternative fuel sources to mitigate air pollution, noise and climate change. Electric vehicles will not solve congestion, but diesel and petrol engines are causing excessive and unnecessary harm as the government has recently indicated by targeting a ban on the sale of fossil fuel only cars by 2040. High Peak is currently not in a position to meet this target and risks lagging behind nearby areas. High Peak needs to take advantage of funding sources available for the cost of electric charging and show some leadership in the field - Greater Manchester has an extensive network of free to use charging points.137 of 200 SignaturesCreated by James Thorp

Make the A606 saferIt's frightening, trying to cross the A606 to get to the heart of the village, even if you are a fit and healthy adult. The roads and footpaths are narrow, and a great volume of traffic including a large proportion of HGVs goes through the village. If you are a parent of small children, a vulnerable adult, or simply trying to cross with your dog, it is difficult and feels unsafe to cross the busy road. Our proposal to Rutland County Council contains many accounts of injuries sustained and 'near misses' when people have, as they say, 'taken their life into their own hands' crossing the road. Our proposal for improved footpaths, crossings and a reduced speed limit for such a short section of the A606, would have a tiny impact or drivers, yet an immeasurable improvement in quality of life and peace of mind for the residents of our lovely village.119 of 200 SignaturesCreated by carolyn debenham

Improve access to the new Aldi storeMany people in the Old Trafford area rely on the Aldi store for their weekly groceries. The relocation has left local people, including those with mobility issues, facing a long walk to the new store. Pedestrian access is only available into White City via the Chester Road side, making this even worse. In addition, there are no bus services available from the main part of the Clifford or Longford wards to Chester Road. As any local person will tell you, the roads around this area are already heavily congested - even worse when Manchester United are playing at home, or there is a cricket match/concert at Old Trafford cricket ground, and we are concerned that without the proper public transport and pedestrian links, this will only be exacerbated. We call on Trafford Council to look at the public transport links and pedestrian access to this site. This relocation will have significant effects on the quality of life of Old Trafford residents, and we would like to see Trafford Council address this.619 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Ben Slater

Reinstate more railway lines in EnglandIn hindsight, it is recognised that the Beeching closures in the 1960s went too far as many larger settlements lost a very valuable lifeline to the national rail system leading to an explosion in motor vehicles for leisure and work and an equal increase in new road expansion and air pollution. The City Region hubs of commerce are now gridlocked in the peaks leading to high levels of air pollution from wear dust and exhaust emissions. 430,000 tons of tyre dust alone is produced annually from 50 million tyres. Particulate size less than ten microns become airborne and inhaled by all mammals and are small enough to reach the deepest parts of lungs causing pulmonary and coronary disease. Tyre wear dust also has a carcinogenic and mutatogenic effect on tissue cells contributing to 50,000 premature deaths annually from road traffic pollution. Many closed railway lines within urban areas are now essential in reducing city and town centre congestion and pollution. It is a known fact that bus usage has reduced at the same rate as rail footfall has increased in the last ten years to a point where more rail routes are desperately needed to increase capacity and opportunity to use rail. Rail is the preferred mode of transport in urban and inter urban travel and as such can encourage modal shift away from car by reducing travel time. There has been an increase in new rail route investment in Scotland and Wales, in the last fifteen years but not in England outside London. The Campaign for Better Transport has identified routes in every Region in England that would benefit local communities by being reinstated increasing connectivity and social inclusion with the rest of the UK. The Government would do well to take notice of Campaign for Better Transport's list of preferred reinstatements.191 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Adrian Dr Morgan
