[QUOTE="martynlloydkelly, post: 373902, member: 67343"] Hi everyone, I have just written to George Howarth MP asking if he wouold consider meeting with me to dicuss where this petition should be heading to make the biggest impact and to raise awareness for it in the public-eye. I'll keep you all updated with regards to this. I'm also asking for all those who have had their licences suspended by the DVLA due to the "2 hypo tick box" to consider telling me about their experience. This will help to provide evidence for the unnecessary detrimental effect the EU directive and the DVLA's enforcement of it has upon people's lives. These testimonials can obviously done by private channels if necessary but as a consequence of thinking about this I am looking to create a centralised web-site (I'm a web programmer so I suppose I should earn my keep) where I can organise everything and spread awareness. It doesn't help that the URL for the petition is so long, I don't think there is a way to change this either. The site itself would allow others to submit their experiences and stories, comment upon the issue and provide an easy to remember URL that the petition can be accessed from. I would love to hear any feedback on this idea and if anyone knows of any graphic designers who would be willing to design a neat layout then I would be most appreciative. If anyone is also well versed in coding (I'm thinking of using CakePHP as I use this in my job and its excellent for database integration, which will be required) then please get in touch as I will be using Git and GitHub to develop the site so we can all contribute. Furthermore, if anyone knows of any cheap hosting available for sites with integrated MySQL administration tools then details of these would be fantastic. Thank you all once again for your support, please keep sharing the petition!
