I have driven this road every day for 10 years for work and there is no way I would ever let my children walk this route. This is a short sighted and clearly ill considered decision, from someone who obviously doesn’t know the road. Dorset council get a grip, you should be adding free bus routes not taking them away!! All you are doing is adding to traffic volumes, pollution and putting children’s lives at risk.
Bruce supported: Reverse dangerous decision to remove free school bus travel for Charlton Marshall childrenThis is a crazy decision, having lived in Charlton Marshall when my kids started school, I personally know many of the families this will impact. If we still lived there, there is no way my child would be walking along that ridiculously thin and BUSY bit of road alone + the trailway in the dark!!! The council have said children can walk 3 miles, as an avid hiker I know that's a good hours journey, 6 miles each day for a child carrying school bags ect is not reasonable and £900 a year for one childs bus pass is insane. The bus is going that way and has been free for children in Charlton for years so why change now.
Emily supported: Reverse dangerous decision to remove free school bus travel for Charlton Marshall childrenThis is a terrible decision to take DCC. Walking along that pavement twice a day is so so dangerous. How long before a terrible accident happens? The trailway is not a choice it's dark in the winter months as there is no lighting and also after rain muddy. Also this leads straight back onto the dangerous road and again the path through Blandford St Mary is also narrow. Please reverse your decision before there is a fatality.
Julia supported: Reverse dangerous decision to remove free school bus travel for Charlton Marshall childrenOur roads are busier and more dangerous than ever. Charlton Marshall is clearly not a safe route and the proposal of charging for the bus will force parents to drive. This is against the governments plans for an environmentally sound future. Putting more cars on the road or children in danger. It’s preposterous that it’s even a consideration to penalise village living when so much of our county struggles from this.
Lana supported: Reverse dangerous decision to remove free school bus travel for Charlton Marshall childrenI am airborne anaphalactyic to latex and get worse with each and every exposure. It would be very helpful to know when latex gloves are used in the prepping & cooking of food. I constantly have to ask every time I go to a restaurant. I hope you consider requiring it to be clearly stated if latex gloves are used anywhere in the process . It is dangerous for me to be in a restaurant, even for just a few minutes, since latex particles circulate through the air.
Erin supported: Make companies legally obliged to state latex products are used in their production linesMy grandson goes to brede school and the traffic is dreadful as well as the parking. It’s on a very fast road that is used by large Lorrie’s who often end up driving on the pathways. A disaster waiting to happen
Kim supported: Pedestrian Crossing for Brede Primary SchoolMe and my friends frequently visit portobello beach and have fires will sitting around talking together until late hours in the night (sometimes 1-3am), it's worrying knowing how unsafe we are and many of our friends have stopped coming because of it, which is a shame as portobello is a lovely place, and sometimes the only time we get to all be together is when we have our meet ups and fire. I'd like to be able to come and go knowing my loved ones and I are safe, it's terrifying hearing about all of these incidents
Hyper supported: Make Portobello Promenade Safe: Call for Immediate Police Presence and Community SupportI have lived in and around portobello for many years my teenage daughter has gone to school in portobello and the one place I thought was relatively safe for her to be hanging out with friends and unfortunately not anymore,
Michelle supported: Make Portobello Promenade Safe: Call for Immediate Police Presence and Community SupportI suffer with Complex PTSD whilst caring for an autistic daughter. I feel abused by this government and find it disgusting they want to take from some of the most vulnerable in society. It has given me sleepless nights with worry for myself and daughter.
Anne-Marie supported: Stop Keir Starmer and the UK Gov from reducing PIP and implementing the 4-point ruleThe government is attempting to use threatening tactics. They have proposed abolishing the Work Capability Assessment and introducing the four-point daily living PIP rule. I will explain what this would mean for someone like me. Abolishing the WCA removes LCWRA, as their proposal suggests that only people who qualify for PIP will have the health element added to Universal Credit. This would leave those who do not qualify under the four-point rule without PIP and without any disability benefits, which I believe we, as disabled people with long-term conditions, are rightfully entitled to under the Equality Act 2010. Moreover, I am deeply troubled by the discriminatory language used by Starmer, who is considered by some to be a “moral” leader. He states that it is entirely "moral" to reduce disabled people's rightful benefits. Kendall claims disabled people "take the mickey" directly to the camera, and Reeves, despite being perceived as kind (sarcasm intended), believes every disabled person, including someone like me who has lost sensation in their legs and struggles with ongoing fatigue after working tirelessly for the NHS for 20 years and now spends 80% of their time in bed through no fault of their own, can just simply get up and go to work as soon as I am threatened by someone who is of no value to me as they are very discriminatory to my disabled peers . Kendall/Reeves/Starmer seems to think all disabled people are "lazy." How can the government use such language against the disabled community? Are we seen as burdens and idle individuals? They need to experience our lives and understand what it's like to feed our children stale bread when we have only 50 pence in the bank, while those in the DWP, Starmer, and others earn six-figure salaries and enjoy luxury trips & holiday abroad while we face sanctions & tribunal battles . PIP and LCWRA are a lifeline for disabled people like myself and many more. We have no other safety net if these are taken away. It truly infuriates me, and I think of my child constantly asking when we will have decent food. So, government, the next time you plan to take something away from disabled people or speak against us, consider the consequences carefully. Have compassion; everything else will fall into place. Just because "labour" is in your party's name doesn't mean you can repeatedly chant the "work" mantra. Regardless of your party, if you do not respect disabled people, you will never win a general election. I will tell you why: we are strong, we are 16 million people of the 50 million voters you need to be in power, and we will demonstrate our power. We are diverse, inclusive, and united. We are neurodivergent, we respect everyone, and we have experienced more hardship than you ever have. Therefore, we are incredibly resilient. We may appear weak, and we might be assessed as lacking strength, but our rights need to be upheld and supported by the government and the judiciary system. We are protected by the Equality Act 2010. Please read it thoroughly from now on, because we are coming. I sincerely hope this campaign succeeds in parliament and achieves significant results. Best wishes.
