As a resident im getting very frustrated with non residents of the street parking outside our homes for hours on end while they wine and dine at voogs Chinese restaurant or Himalayan restaurant and jaflong Indian restaurant. Thus leaving us no where to park. Most of the street have children elderly and disabled residents. If we park outside our home during 8-6 mon-sat we are at risk of receiving a parking ticket outside our own homes.

It is important for the local residents so that the noise level will reduce and it will be a quieter area as the trams starter at 5am in the morning and finish at 01:30am in the morning, and there is a tram every few minutes through that section of track northbound and southbound 364 days a year.

For years we’ve been waiting for the road to be made safer. No one sticks to the 20mph speed limit and there have been numerous crashes due to people driving wreckless around the blind corner. Sandy Lane is a very busy road! There are lots of children and elderly residents who live close by that frequent the park and shop. Due to people totally ignoring the speed limit and there being no speed camera to monitor the traffic, I strongly believe the road and residents would benefit from speed bumps. If drivers won’t willingly slow down then put safety measures in place! It was only three days ago that ANOTHER crash happened outside my kitchen window! And last year our beautiful kitty was ran over by a wreckless speeding driver. I know I’m not alone in wanting the council to do something to make where we live safer so please help me by signing as it will help everyone else.

There is a constant stream of traffic coming in both directions, and even if someone chooses to walk to the traffic lights at Wavertree Road, crossing is difficult. We need to encourage use of our suburban railway stations in order to reduce road traffic and pollution.

The spped limit on these rural roads is currently 60mph. we want the council to introduce a sensible limit to ensure safety of all residents and visitors.

When motorists experience car problems on these roads, there is no escape and people have already been killed because of this. These unsafe roads are being rolled out in order to apparently save money, at the cost of users’ lives.

Clean drinking water is a basic human right. Plastic bottles are polluting the oceans. People would bring their own drinking water in their own re-usable containers if they were allowed, - but they are not. Apart from generating polluting plastics, airport shops charge for water at often 5 or 6 times the price it would be in a supermarket.

Up to 90 buses per hour use Gosforth High Street. Passengers have put up with no shelter for over two years outside the Gym. The current situation is confusing, with two obsolete bus shelters either side of the current bus stop. Passengers often get wet through to the skin whilst waiting for a bus. Others shelter in the obsolete shelters and have to run for the bus. Some don’t get there in time.

Why should the public bear the cost of pollution? The Government is being fined to breaching pollution laws , the cost of the fines could help pay for economical electric cars. Reducing carbon pollution will not just help save the planet but will save many lives from the toxic diesel & petrol emissions. The Government is not doing enough to tackle pollution.

After being involved in an accident recently and gaining whiplash from it, thankful only whiplash but someone could have been in a worse state than myself all because buses don't have seatbelts, some go down the motorways at the national speed limit without having belts for the passengers. I think we should make it law because normally on the way to college we have secondary school children as well as college and elderly. We need to act on it now as it becomes more apparent that buses can be involved in accidents on the road.

We've been neglected by successive governments. For the economy of the whole country this is essential as well as for the health and well being of our citizens. To meet climate change targets we need fewer polluting cars on our roads and this will only happen with efficient, reliable public transport. Too many people have difficult and stressful journeys each day because of a broken, inefficient and neglected transport system. Urgent action is needed NOW not by 2030.

I used to cycle to work in the summer and at weekends but storing my bike is a real problem. I used to lock it up outside my home until it was stolen. Now, it is rusting in my back garden when I am not trying to manoeuvre it through my home by any weather. There are many benefits to cycling - environmental, financial, social (with friends and family), physical and mental health and just pure enjoyment. I know many more people would cycle but cannot as: - Live in a flat - don't have outside space/ shed - Live in a terraced house - Have to carry bike up/ down stairs - Want to start cycling but no point buying bike as no convenient storage - Don't have space for all family bikes I have been trying to campaign to have Cyclehoop Bikehangars https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars in the local area for the past 6 months by contacting councillor, Deborah Huckle ([email protected]). I alongside another neighbour, would fill a whole bikehangar just with both our families - thus rendering the financing of the bikehangar viable. In October 2018, Ms Huckle shared the following update " Balmoral Road is on the list I passed to Cyclehoop last week for them to conduct a site visit to identify the best location for a bikehangar, following this we need to conduct a public consultation to ensure the majority of local residents are in support and then finally we get sign off from our Head of Service. I would estimate the whole process to take around 6 months." I know there is a lot of interest for this sort of scheme in our side of the borough and in Brent in general. Compared to other councils in London there are very few bikehangars in Brent. Once this local campaign is successful for mentioned streets/ area - I am happy to roll this out to a bigger area such as Willesden Green. However, first I want to understand the impact of a local campaign. Councillors are very keen to see the financial viability of this scheme on pockets of areas in a borough. To keep up the pressure and ensure we secure bikehangar(s) where we desire, could you please sign this petition. Please also contact Brent Council https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/contact-council AND Cyclehoop https://www.cyclehoop.rentals/types/bikehangars to express your interest for this scheme. Once we have achieved sufficient support I will take the petition to Deborah Huckle so she can use it to continue to back the case with Brent Council for our local area.
