That's been accepted for discussion at. Transport Committee next week - Thursday 12th - and I'm going along to help make the case. Does anyone have experience of presenting a petition at Committee and suggestions on what to look out for? We're just going to prepare a 5 minute statement stating our case, and then prepare for questions.
