PETITIONS
Croft Road-Hay Lane Link
6.40 pm
Anne Snelgrove (South Swindon) (Lab): I have pleasure in presenting a petition signed by 450 residents of Wroughton and Croft roads in my constituency. It expresses opposition to the proposal of a link between Croft road and Hay lane with a tunnel under the M4, which will have a direct connection to junction 16 of the M4. I am grateful to Charmian Spickernell and all those who have worked to collect the signatures and organised protests against the tunnel.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House shall urge the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to consider the plight of the residents of Wroughton and Croft Road and others in the Borough of Swindon and elsewhere who fear the consequences for traffic and carbon emissions and endeavour to ensure that the alternative route crossing the railway and linking back to Swindon with shorter local journeys and the opportunity for a public transport interchange is now considered.
To lie upon the Table.

Train Services (Maidenhead and Twyford to London)
6.41 pm
Mrs. Theresa May (Maidenhead) (Con): I am pleased to present the "save our trains" petition, signed by 786 people in the Maidenhead constituency and others. The petition has 500 signatures that were collected by the Maidenhead Advertiser. I am grateful to it for its support for the "save our trains" campaign. I am also grateful to Angie and Michael Scott, Adam Hale and Emma Hobbs, who all worked to collect signatures for the petition. In addition to those 786 people, 961 petitioners have signed the on-line petition, making a total of 1,747 signatures, against proposed cuts in train services from Maidenhead and Twyford to London.
Declares that the Petitioners oppose the proposed cuts in the number of fast and semi-fast trains between London and Maidenhead and Twyford. The Petitioners further declare that the Department of Transport, Network Rail and First Great Western should recognise the importance to local people and local businesses of good transport links for Maidenhead and Twyford.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Department of Transport to recommend that Network Rail and First Great Western abandon the planned cuts in services and reinstate fast and semi-fast services in the December 2006 timetable, thereby ensuring that the Maidenhead area continues to enjoy good train services that benefit local people and local businesses.
Ambulance Services
6.42 pm
Mrs. Janet Dean (Burton) (Lab):
I am pleased to present a petition containing 497 signatures from residents of Mayfield and Ellastone in my constituency.
8 Mar 2006 : Column 918
Declares that the petitioners are concerned by the plans to reorganise ambulance services and believe that they will result in a significant drop in the standards of emergency medical care in their rural part of Staffordshire.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for Health and the Minister of State for Health Services:
1. to guarantee that the high standards of emergency medical care the petitioners enjoy at present will be maintained;
2. to guarantee that community first responders will continue to attend all the types of incidents they attend now without any reduction in the drugs they are allowed to use to help patients or to protect themselves; and
3. to exclude Staffordshire Ambulance Service from the proposed reconfiguration programme until such time as its high standards have been matched across the remainder of the proposed West Central region.
Train Services (London to Bedwyn)
6.43 pm
Mr. Richard Benyon (Newbury) (Con): I present a petition on behalf of rail users in west Berkshire and the Newbury area, who are outraged at the loss of rail services from London to Bedwyn. There are further signatures from people who are alarmed at the congestion that these cuts in rail services will cause in Newbury, Reading, the M4 and beyond.
Declares that the fast and semi-fast services between London and Bedwyn, which served the stations in between, were a great benefit to local people and businesses.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Secretary of State for Transport to abandon plans for cuts in services between London and Bedwyn.
To lie upon the Table.
