Proposals for the A21 level crossing at Robertsbridge
The petition of businesses of Hastings and the wider area of East Sussex south of Robertsbridge,
Declares that suppliers of businesses based south of Robertsbridge utilise the A21 as the main road in and out of Hastings and its environs to deliver raw materials and goods, and in turn businesses use the A21 to deliver our products across the UK and overseas; and further that the building of a level steam crossing on the A21 will have a severe impact on the timeliness and efficiency of the transport of goods in and out of the Hastings area.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to request that the planning permission be withdrawn.
And the petitioners remain, etc.—[Presented on 30 July 2024 by Helena Dollimore.]
[P003008]
Portishead railway branch line
The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that reopening the Portishead branch line is necessary to reduce traffic on the congested roads between Portishead and Bristol; further that reducing such traffic would lead to lower C02 emissions, thus benefitting the environment and further that this branch line is needed to encourage investment and economic growth in Portishead and the greater Bristol area.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to recognise the considerable work already performed to reopen the Portishead branch line, to recognise public funding already invested in it, and to consider the resource needs of the Portishead branch line when providing funding for transport in this area —[Presented by Sadik Al-Hassan.]
