ACTIONS and Petitions

Save Midland Mainline electrification: The Government’s recently paused Phase 3 of the Midland Mainline electrification despite the fact it would deliver nearly £400 million in local economic benefit, create 5,000 skilled jobs, reduce emissions, and transform rail capacity across the East Midlands. Instead, ministers want to build the damaging A38 Derby Junctions road scheme. Write to key decision-makers and urge them to push for Midland Mainline electrification instead of the A38 road expansion.

Save Queensbury Tunnel - please support the Queensbury Tunnel Society in their bid to stop National Highways (once again) from permanently blocking up the tunnel and destroying hope for a greenway between Bradford and Halifax. Please write to Transport Minister Lilian Greenwood MP, write to your MP (if you live in West Yorkshire), asking them to review the decision. Please also sign the petition. This is not just a local issue, as if National Highways gets away with it here it could be emboldened, once again, to fill in old railway tunnels and bridges across the country, denying their future use for public transport or active travel. This is the video of what they want to achieve.

Unpause Phase 5 of South West Rail Resilience Programme - please sign the petition against the government's cancellation of the scheme. This could threaten the economy of the South West and rail services to it.

Don't let the Lower Thames Crossing take your funding - TAN's letter writing campaign to MPs to highlight how much needed national and regional public transport projects risk losing funding due to the Lower Thames Crossing

Call for East Midlands Mayor to fund sustainable travel not roads - If you live in Derbyshire or Nottinghamshire (including Derby and Nottingham) please write a letter to Claire Ward, East Midlands Combined County Mayor, asking her to fund sustainable transport, not new roads. You can find out more in this briefing.

Reporting problems

Reporting defects, blocked paths, or poor maintenance: If you come across potholes, poor or missing signage, blocked pavements or cycle paths, abandoned bikes, etc, or vegetation out of control, we recommend using the app FixMyStreet as this will send your complaint through to the correct authority. This is especially helpful where the responsible authority may not be obvious. Get it on your phone and it will allow the app to automatically locate the problem (if you give it permission). You can also submit photos and add to existing complaints.

If you're on National Highways' network you can make your comment direct if you prefer. You can also see National Highways' response to recent reports.
