2.08: Bypass noise worse since new surface was laid. What would be highly desirable, but very difficult to achieve, would be an off road parking area adjacent to the central shops.

the lane restriction on by pass need urgent revision.Priority for multi occupancy vehicles(mainly on the school run into Bristol) should be abandoned and priority given to any vheicle using the Park and Ride facility. Ensure that any facility provided on the new Rec should cost Wimpey at least as much as the original agreement to level the land and provide football pitches. Any new development(housing) must have a greater provision of off-road parking per house- the Wimpey 1.5 spaces per house is anti social as it ensures on-road parking on narrow roads,which blocks road for emergency and large vehicles.

Better parking management. No parking on both sides of the street along the main road to beyond the old Northleaze School during big events at Ashton Court.There have been some "ugly" scenes over the past few years when the main road becomes gridlocked. Keeping the lid on expansion to make sure we don't become a suburb of Bristol. Cycle lane along the main road. Cycle access to Ashton Court after the main gates are locked. Even cycling through in the dark is ten times safer than the Cumberland Basin. What about brokering a deal with David Lloyd or Redwood Lodge to get residents to use their facilities. Lobby North Somerset Council to put a 50mph speed limit on the LA bypass which would reduce road noise significantly (it did when the road works slowed traffic down).

boxES lEFT BLANK = NOT APPLICABLE NOISE REDU CTION ON THE BYPASS COULD BE ACHIEVED BY USING CORRUGATED SHEETS OF METAL/PLASTIC ETC TO THE EXISTING IRONWORK(PREVENTING VEHICLES FORM CRASHING OFF)1-2 METRES HIGH WOULD SERIOUSLY CUT DOWN NOISE

traffic, parking outside Church House dangerous - double yellow lines would help -people should make more use of the nearby car park, smaller buses such as hoppers would be more practical, safer and less polluting than current type, which cause obstruction particularly when stationary. living close to the bypass: noise from bypass is obrusive when motor bikers do their 100+mph runs and know how to avoid speed cameras - only police presence can discourage this motor sport actities for youngsters should be encouraged (motorsport enthusiast for 30 years) but not close to the village, difficult to supervise and make safe also noisy and hard to make riders run silencers on bikes that do not need to conform to RTA Construction and uses regs. How would riders get to the track? 'Trials riders' already use the village footpath network to ride untaxed unregistered and uninsured to the woods - dedicated area would only encourage juniors to do the same to get to and from home. speed: fit a speed governor to the little red car that delivers from the local pizza shop - fastest thing in the village! thanks to those who do so much to improve life within the village

A link road from the A38 to A370 Long Ashton bypass would be good. Some way of ensuring hedges are cut back fully.

I think excessive noise created by vehicles on the bypass is caused by a) excessive speed, b) oversized / modified exhausts. this could be reduced by a) speed cameras, especially on the straights, b) police clampdown / checks on noisy vehicles. the car / motorcycle noise from the bypass is a majot annoyance. further noise pollution is caused by a) light aircraft circling, b) helicopter traffic. these two sources of noise are far more annoying than large aircraft taking off. I am a cyclist. a traffic free through route to the ex-rail bridge behind Megabowl would encourage cycling into central Bristol. the section of cycle lane from Birdwell to the new school is excellent. re 7.04, there is no point in having more double lines - they are not enforced. cars regularly park on the zig-zag lines of the zebra crossing, on the pavement, etc, etc
