John Bercow Excerpts

Tuesday 24th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[Tom Pursglove (Corby) (Con)]

This petition declares that residents of East Northamptonshire and the surrounding area want litter to be cleared, particularly by the side of the A14. A similar petition has received 50 signatures.

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,

Declares that litter should be cleared from the East Northamptonshire area.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to compel local councils to help clear the East Northamptonshire area of litter.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]

[P002248]

[Mr Speaker]

In case people attending to our proceedings wonder what is going on, the hon. Gentleman has not one petition but, to be precise, four, so I encourage him to give us the flavour of each of the other three petitions before troubling himself to walk in this direction again.

[Tom Pursglove]

I present this petition on behalf of the people of Oundle and the surrounding area who rely on Oundle North bridge, which provides vital access in and out of the town. A similar petition has received 1,474 signatures.

Following is the full text of the petition:

[The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,

Declares that a timely and satisfactory repair of Oundle North Bridge must be agreed between local residents and Northamptonshire County Council and East Northamptonshire Council.

The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to compel Northamptonshire County Council and East Northamptonshire Council to agree on a plan to make sure repairs are implemented as soon as possible, and with as little impact as possible on the lifestyle of the local residents and the local economy.

And the petitioners remain, etc.]

[P002250]
