Ongoing awareness of the middle word in "Public Service Vehicle" is woefully lacking in most bus drivers. Regular high-handed ignoring of passengers' needs (wish to board, comfortable ride, to name but two) is a travesty of Service. "Real teeth" inspectors / monitors of "Service" are desperately needed.

PSV actually now stands for "Passenger Carrying Vehicle" but I recognise all of your grumbles about drivers' attitudes and driving styles. Complaints should be made to the relevant bus companies

I'm an MS sufferer now facing losing my indefinite DLA because of ridiculous PIP rules! Must not be able to walk more than 20m?! Some disabled bays are further than that! It also needs to be fixed that people with 'invisible illnesses' should be assessed equally.

Anyone committing a sex crime against a child or gathering photos etc. Should not be put in prison for years while I pay the bill, only to be released to carry on offending against our children . They should be put in solitary confinment, have all blood tests done etc. Their details should be put on all organ donor data bases. When suitable matches come up they are wheeled to theatre and every conceivable organ is removed to help others. The remains are incinerated and ashes given to their family to bury.
If my child needed a kidney or was facing death I know which I would choose.

I bet you vote Liberal !

Make it a crime for food retailers to spoil their thrown-away (often perfectly good) food with bleach, dye, soap powder etc.. I have been hungry and desperate enough before, and don't need the additional fear of poisoning to go with it.

Please make car parking bays wider so we can open
the door to get in or out it would make a big difference.

Give a council tax break to homeowners who install solar panels on their homes. It needn't be much, just enough to a) incentivise action for the environment and b) get people investing their money in something sensible. It would provide jobs for installers, fitters, manufacturers etc..

If country roads had their kerbs all removed (not now but when they are next resurfaced) and a small hard shoulder going to a shallow ditch installed, there would be no puddles to freeze and cause potholes. Also when a large HGV comes flying towards you, there would not be a kerb to send you back towards him. Replace cats-eyes with reflective paint in the middle and sides as in France for night driving in the rain.

Many savings accounts have short term bonus rates to entice the saver and then hope they forget to move their money when it finishes. Banks should notify customers at the end of a rate, suggesting their best account available with a form to make it easy to switch.

Using publicly owned redundant brown field sites throughout the country get consortiums of builders to create villages with play areas, erect family houses with gardens to sell at £75,000 to £100,000, employing and educating in skills thousands of young unemployed, thus providing affordable houses and generally boosting the economy by sales of materials, fittings, furniture etc.
