I like to help local businesses. They need all the help especially at this time. Cycles are being used more and more and we need this.

Important to support local businesses particularly in a situation whereby options for promoting healthy living and physical activity are limited

I’m signing this because Simon did a great job on my daughter’s bike. He was reliable, efficient and we were really pleased with his service.

I live locally SO31 and I think now is the time to support small independant business. Especially those trying to help thier local community. There's going to be alot of unemployed due to covid 19 and alot of people relying on gouvernment support or trying to stay afloat without it. Let people do what they can within reason as long as they do thier best not to inconvenience others wheres the harm. They are trying to help themselves an others.

Why is this council focusing time on one man trying to help reduce our carbon footprint ? Look at your staff work routines, your waste your countless miles still travelling to meetings you don’t need to attend ? Really we should all be walking and cycling to work and you should be proud that Simon has grabbed the nettle and started this company applaud him do not destroy his business

Stewart Hall (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

I have been a customer of Warsash Cycles during the Pandemic. Very well run and responsible business. Simon was very professional in his approach, conducting excellent social Distancing.

Sick of people just being community minded being suffocated by red tape.

I’m signing because it’s a honest local business with honest prices and he’s a decent fella doing no harm.... if anything he’s doing what the government wanted and working from home

Mark Montgomery (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#456

Dependable business

Anthony Barber (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#458

Simon is offering a brilliant service and I don’t see why he shouldn’t be able to operate from his home. Especially during such times

Lee Reynolds (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#459

Its a much needed local service and during this climate should be allowed to work from home set up

Gareth Birkett (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#460

I'm in support of a local business supporting local cyclists in this area. A fantastic service and an asset to the community!

Helen Barber (Warsash, 2020-06-25)

It’s unfair and I support Warsash cycles

Laura Heeley (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#465

I had my bike recently fixed and made road worthy by warash cycles, such a lovely person, and very quick turn around. I would not hesitate to go back again, it would be an utter shame to loose this very important and popular service for this area.

Christina diaper (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

Warsash cycles is a good asset to the community.

Jamie Prangle (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#468

I fail to see what possible annoyance a cycling business .can cause . Business enterprise within a community should be encouraged .

Jan Young (Fareham, 2020-06-25)

#469

Local community services are so important and valued. We need to support these services as much as possible and encourage enterprise without the need for travelling long distances.

Jill Barton (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

I think he is providing a valuable service to the community, I live in the same road and see no problem working from home as many do.

Teresa Hunka (Warsash, 2020-06-25)

#479

We need more local business’s like Warsash Cycles. We should be encouraging not slamming the rule book down. Total disgrace that this petition has had to be made! Live and let live. I know plenty of other businesses run from home!

Michael Hlavaty (Warsash, 2020-06-25)

#481

I see no reason why someone who wishes to take the initiative and start a business that is key to help people get fitter, healthier and use cars less, should not be able to do so.

Steve Hunka (Warsash, 2020-06-25)

#484

Local businesses whether run from shops with unaffordable rents or people's homes are essential for local communities and should be supported, not discouraged. Safe cycling avoids costly stays in an already under resourced NHS who have other priorities at the moment

Claire Bartlett (Southampton, 2020-06-25)

#487

Supporting truly local businesses who provide a valuable, reputable, honest and reliable service is essential to truly establishing, maintaining and enhancing communities.

Now more than ever, thinking local, and supporting small independent businesses and enterprises is essential, and those providing services which promote and maintain healthy physical and mental wellbeing through sport and recreation should be applauded and assisted, rather than faced with greater bureaucracy and red tape.

DAN WALKER (Glasgow, 2020-06-25)

#490

Small businesses like this should be supported not held back.

David Jones (Liverpool, 2020-06-25)

#497

We need to support local people’s businesses at the moment particularly with the huge increase of cycles in the area, we need someone to support having serviceable cycles on the road.

Andrea Westerberg (Locks Heath, 2020-06-26)

#503

Every business has to start somewhere. I cannot see how this is adversely affecting anyone. The service is to ensure cyclists are safe and will also be helping get all the old tired bikes fixed so people can use them instead of cars.

David Barnsley-Parsons (Portchester, 2020-06-26)

#505

We live in a world where small cottage business should be encouraged. Especially as they offer a reputable cycle repair service. Cycling should be encouraged

Chris Crosby (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#506

Warsash Cycles are providing a service that is needed. There has been a massive increase in use of cycles due to COVID-19. The public must be encouraged to continue cycling. We are about to enter the biggest economic disaster since records begun. Thousand upon thousands are losing their jobs. Don’t force someone else to lose their job.

Colin Wilson (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

#508

Small businesses like Warsash Cycles proved a valuable service to their local communities.

Matt Kemp (Iwade, 2020-06-26)

#511

This gentleman has done stirling work for the community and needs to be supported.

Kenneth Moore (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

#512

We need a small independent cycle repair business in the area, especially since coronavirus hit us, with so many more people swopping their environmentally unfriendly 4 wheeled automobiles for the healthy wheeled form of transport.

The fact that Warsash Cycles has used his home workshop to help the community, is very forward-thinking, and already paying Council Tax on his home, I feel he should be allowed to continue. Nobody can say, it creates a lot of noise, with car engines revving late at night, or the taking up other residents parking spaces!

Patricia Spratt (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

#513

Warsash cycles is an integral part of the community and greatly welcomed. I can not fathom why someone would make a small minded complaint about some one like Simon who is passionate about his work. Please do not let him stop operating.

Matt Sanders (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#514

I support Warsash cycles and see a business like this as being invaluable to our community and even more so in the lockdown when people need to get out and exercise for their own sanity and without people like Simon who has the skills to repair bikes what would we do?

Sarah Pastides (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#515

He is a valued asset to the community

Melanie Pursey (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#516

Because..... we know he is honest and reliable. We need to keep a village community. 💯.

Tina Buss (Warash, 2020-06-26)

#518

We need to support our local business unless there is evidence to support there are issues with the running or operation.

Lee Kelly (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#521

I’m signing this because I believe that having this reliable and trustworthy services is great for the area. We also don’t really have any other service like it, with Halfords potentially shutting there bike repairs centre down, therefore I think it would be a great shame for Simon to have to stop his business as this community needs him and his business.

Hayley Grimm (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

#524

I need to support local good businesses

linda rix (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

Having recently moved to Warsash having Warsash Cycles on my doorstep enables me to use their services without the need for using my car to have any work completed as I’m sure it does many others. Amazing service to the community

Claire Slater (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#527

I'm signing this as I believe Warsash cycles provides a much needed service to the local community.

Lisa Daish (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#528

The cycling community relies to a great extent on small operators providing a personal service. Whether that be from a shop, a van or from home.

Andrew Bird (Hamble, 2020-06-26)

#531

I am signing as cycling is a healthy pursuit and needs bicycle repairers like Warsash Cycles to keep us pedalling. It’s a shame one complaint amongst lots of happy customers ends up in this situation. FBC need to ask all the cyclists who love this organisation.

Ed Lait (Retired person, 2020-06-26)

#536

I wish to support small local businesses

Paul stovold (Sarisbury green, 2020-06-26)

Excellent service and local. Carry on the good work Simon.

Simon Kench (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#538

It's a valuable resource for our area. We are being encouraged to keep fit and need reliable services to keep our bikes road worthy. Haven't seen that its causing any problems at all.

Sue Bridger (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#539

It’s a good service to the community and causing
no harm

Jane Roberts (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

I support local business and feel he is out of the way and not causing any problems to the locals, fully support him

Martine Macdonald (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#542

Why is this even an issue?these are exceptional challenging times, and we are all trying to get by as best we can. I think the person who complained needs to get over them self. Ridiculous. This ‘complaint’ seems just a waste of everyone’s time

Tina Wilkinson (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#552

Small businesses offering an invaluable service to the community need supported! Encouraging people on bikes is surely a good thing and should be supported.

Julie Holland (Gosport, 2020-06-26)

Julie Compton-Rae (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

Small business, working from home, serving a local community need, this should be encouraged.

Simon offers a great service to the local community. More and more people are working from home and I can’t see why this is a problem for anyone. I live in the same road as Simon and haven’t noticed any change.

Severine Greenland (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

Simon provides a great community service and should be able to continue to do this.

Andrew Gerrard (Sarisbury Green, 2020-06-26)

Katie Cumming (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

I support local businesses and can't imagine why anyone would have complained.

Sally Frampton (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

#575

Simon has been amazing social distant and very clean while handling my bike and without his we would of been able to use our bikes in lock down which has contributed to my familys mental wellbeing

Beth pullen (warsash, 2020-06-26)

#576

This is a much needed service, no contact is being made!

Emma Wiltshiee (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#577

With lack of shops open and people needing to excercise, this service shouldn’t have to justify where it operates from questioned or why. Firstly it’s helping the environment by encouraging more users to use their bikes, secondly supporting a local business And thirdly, supporting someones income which in turn means not being forced into furlough or unemployment

Amanda Howells (Chandlers ford, 2020-06-26)

#578

This essential service has enabled myself and others to repair and keep bikes maintained. Having used this I was impressed at the consideration to social distancing, gloves and overall professionalism. Without this easily accessible local service, people will struggle as apart from an expensive national chain in driving distance, and maybe one other shop again in driving distance there is no other real option. It would then be likely that some will ride on their poorly maintained bikes rather than getting their quick cheap annual service therby increasing risk of accident. This is a great local respected buisness and deserves support.

Janet Edward (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#579

I want to support a worthy local business

BERNARD RHODES (Fareham, 2020-06-26)

I have used the impeccable service for mine and my children’s bikes to be able to cycle safely and not use the car.

Tracy Graham (FAREHAM, 2020-06-26)

#582

I think this a good local business we have used and I can’t see that he’s causing any problems .Hes been amazing through lockdown with a son who broke his bike .

Lorraine Clarke (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#583

I’m signing because I think a small family run cycle repair shop is required to help support people being more active

Victoria Prout (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

#585

Simon provides a great service and it shoudnt be a problem to fix bikes from his garage ... many people have small businesses at home.

katarzyna Bond (Sarisbury green, 2020-06-26)

We need this here.

Wendy Hartland (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

#587

You should not be penalised for trying to get a business up and running.

Stuart Torrance (Gosport, 2020-06-26)

#589

I am signing as I believe during these unprecedented times, small businesses have been forced by government to work from home, and it is an economic right in a democratic country to run a business from your house.

Alexander Mugford (Locks Heath, 2020-06-26)

#590

We need to support local business

Liz Reed (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

I'm signing because we need a local cycle repair shop. The service I received the other day was amazing I was fitted in the same day I made an inquiry and had a good chat about what needed doing to my daughters bike.

Abbie andrews (Southampton, 2020-06-26)

It’s a much needed local service for a local community

Andy Topp (Warsash, 2020-06-26)

I have used Warsash Cycles twice and have had an excellent service both times. Warsash Cycles is a valuable asset to the village and very much welcome!
We should be encouraging more people to cycle and Simon provides a service that our village needs.
