ROGER METCALFE CALLS FOR CANCELLATION OF KEW ROAD EXPERIMENTAL TRAFFIC SCHEME
Kew has been blighted by traffic chaos, increased danger and increased pollution following the introduction of London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames’s controversial ‘Experimental Traffic Scheme’ on Kew Road. The scheme:
· Has been introduced in an undemocratic way with no prior consultation.
· Is causing additional displacement parking putting further pressure on Kew Green and residential roads adjoining Kew Road.
· Will force 60 coaches per day onto Kew Green, with extra infrastructure, loss of car parking and using a new one-way system that residents roundly rejected 20 years ago.
· Ruins the beauty of Kew Road.
· Threatens businesses and ruins the economic recovery of Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, a World Heritage Site.
I have written to the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames and appeared on the Council’s Transport and Air Quality Committee, to express the concerns expressed by many residents and business owners about the introduction of this scheme. I recognise the difficulties and added congestion this is causing for the constituents of and many thousands of visitors to Kew and particularly with the ongoing over-development of Brentford causing extra pressure.
To address this, I am calling on local residents, business owners, commuters and visitors to Kew to support my petition below calling on the London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames to immediately cancel its ‘Kew Road Experimental Traffic Scheme’.
Please sign your name in support of the following:
We the undersigned demand that London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames immediately cancels its ‘Kew Road Experimental Traffic Scheme’. .JPG)

We call Anglesey County Council to review (call in) all planning applications regarding Penrhos Nature Reserve from 2016 to present date

The People V HM Government for False Advertising surrounding Covid19
On the 8th February, I will be launching a Group Litigation Order (GLO) against the UK Government for False Advertising surrounding the Covid19 campaigns. Until people start being held accountable, this will never end. Although I only need 18 signatures to file this order, I believe it will strengthen the case for the Judge to see how many people are backing this fight. Since March 2020, the UK Government have spent billions of pounds of tax payers money on illegal advertising surrounding Covid1

In Support of Academic Freedom of Expression and Critical Thought
We believe in upholding the democratic values of freedom of speech, thought, and expression. We view Academic freedom of expression in universities as paramount to the process of higher education and empirically-grounded research. The suppression of opposing views stifles critical thought and debate, which are incredibly important parts of a university education and should be promoted and encouraged in both students and staff. We strongly oppose the idea that Academic Freedom should only apply

STORMONT! END the violation of our Human rights NOW! Face masks should NEVER BE MANDATORY!!!
The signatories on this petition are calling for an end to the dictatorship of the Stormont executive and public health officials who are infringing our inalienable human rights as set out in the Human rights act 1998. The Northern Ireland Act 1998 sets out the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly and states that the Assembly may not legislate in a manner that conflicts with the European convention on Human rights. The Act places a DUTY on public bodies not to act in contraven

Petition against implementation of a low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) in Westcombe Park and Maze Hill
In short, we do not want Greenwich council to block all the access roads that run North/South between Woolwich Road and the A2/Blackheath. I like many of you have just received a letter through the post informing me of proposed changes to road layouts in the Westcombe Park/Vanburgh hill area. The letter does not include a map of the propsed changes which in itself is misleading, it then directs you to a website where you can find the map, some assumptions and disinformation and participate in

STOP TRAFFIC USING CROSS LANE, NORTHWOLD
Despite the signs at both ends of Cross Lane, there is a continuing problem with vehicles, mainly delivery vehicles and lorries, using Cross Lane and causing damage to properties and verges. Northwold and Whittington Parish Council has raised this issue and possible solutions with Norfolk County Council without success. The County Council is unwilling to address the matter until a village wide consultation has taken place. The Parish Council is proposing that, as well as new signage, vehicle a

Bridle Path 84 – Dangerous to Walkers, Riders and Cyclists
As regular users of the bridle path (junction of Halliloo Valley Road and Park Ley Road) we are concerned that the surface is getting increasingly dangerous and hazardous to walk, ride or cycle on. This is due to the steep incline of the hill, constant erosion, effects of weather and change in seasons. As such, we are petitioning our local Council to address this by improving the surface to avoid accidents and injury to walkers, horses and cyclists by slipping or falling.

Open Cockburn Haigh Road School fulltime
Despite the government advice that schools are to reopen on the 8th March, Mrs Padgett, the Headteacher of Cockburn Haigh Road School has taken the decision to only open the school to Year 1 and Year 2 children 2 days a week. After losing out on nearly a year of education our children now run the risk of falling even further behind than their peers as they won't have access to the school for 60% of the week. If you want OUR school to reopen full time for ALL our children then please sign the pet
