7.04 Double yelow lines Since Long Ashton has become a village of services, parking has changed from from short to medium/ long term (dentists, hairdressers estate agents beauty shops ) double yellow lines would push parking into the surrounding residential streets in the centre of the village making it difficult for residents to park and to receive visitors. Any new businesses and services should be sited away from the centre and be required to provide off street parking.

Concerned about traffic and speeding esp. on main road. Consider traffic calming measures at all entrances of village plus speed warning signs, cameras etc. but NOT speed bumps. Discourage lorries but SatNav is to blame here. Heavy plant for new development should avoid rush hour which it does not at present. Yellow lines not the answer - it clears the road and encourages speeding. How about zebra crossing near post-office? Availability of medical facilities needs reviewing especially in light of preventative medicine and wellbeing clinics being encourages. Keep the Greenbelt! S106 agreements bring little advantage and more grief than bebefit. Need to be stronger on large-scale developments.

2.03 what are main routes? 7.03 This is not an issue inthe village in general owing to the dog mess bins which brought about a huge improvement. But we are told it is a huge problem on the rec. Why hasn't the Parish Council / Comm centre banned dogs and used powers in existence to enforce ban. 7.04 no point in having more yellow lines unless those in existence are enforced. 7.07 Where will parking be limited and who will enforce it? 8.04 Public footpaths in the countryside do not need better surfacing 9.02 It needs modernising and more appealiung to use if it is to survive 9.03 Many of the existing businesses are run / manned by people from outside the village e.g. hairdressers, dental surgeries, and this trend is likely in new ones. The new office blocks in wild country lane will be driven to. 11.16 use community centre 11.22 what about recent purpose built youth room

I think that the village has deterioriated in the past 6 years that I've lied here. Prior to the new estates. Little is done about the youths who hang about or the vandalism that gets committed. I had throw a rock at my car which bashed the door in. I'm still waiting after 4 years for the police to come. We need a police presence, never mind a once a week "clinic" and radar speed traps. What would I like to see? NO more housing estates built. I notice that Weston Road near the housing estate always is obstructed by parked cars. I would suggest that double yellow lines be painted on Weston Road and that cars breaking the rules either be towed away or clamped. This is for road alongside the new estates - people who live there should park on their estate and not on the main road.

Parking along the main roads, especially by the two pubs is a problem. Ought to by double yellow lines throughout this road. Road surface disgraceful, potholes not filled in

Traffic impact suggestions good, but would they be enforced? Existing ones not. Yellow lines ate end of Glebe road

Unhappy with the Chairman of LA Parish Council's comment about 'further road signs and yellow lines not being desirable (newsletter/winter 06-07). Safety counts for more than aethetics Mr Scoones, resign forthwith. There is a huge parking problem in the area around the new Northleaze School and if restrictions - yes, signs and yellow lines - are not introduced, there will be fatalities. I hope to see LA Parish Council adopt a more enlightened and less precious policy in the near future. Qestion 2.07 "entry should be prohibited.. rush hour" is imprecise. Please name the exact junction - don't use vague terms like top 2 bottom. Apart from increasing drivers road rage and inconveniencing local residents I can't see what these closures would achieve. Glebe Road has pavements, incidentally, on which pedestians whould be safe if parking were properly regulated. Providence Lane is a necessary artery. The one way (I remind you it is one way) section of Yanley Lane is unsuited to any increase in traffic volume (dangerous junction at Glebe Road). It seems to me that vast sums have been poured into youth projects and community centre already. The surgery could improve health provision massively by staying open later in the evenings.

Later park & ride open to use by drunkards double yellows would need policing Roads too narrow for buses, fire brigade etc Parking at Church House - car park should be used Parking residents only signs rush hour traffic & "shunts" at end of by-pass

Would like spot checks by mobile cameras for speeding Questionnaire has drawn my attention to the communication available e.g LAPC website Yellow lines are too urban A map in the questionnaire would have been good to show locations mentioned. I do not know why Backwell pool is being closed - better to keep it open than build a new one.

Don't use village shops as no bank, so have to go to Nailsea. Yellow lines should be from top of Lampton Road to Wild Country Lane. Not worth planting flowers as they would be vandalised. Stop motor bikes from using Dawsons Walk and fields.
