1. The elimination of anti-social behaviiur by the well known elements. 2. Improvement to traffic flow into bristol. Why does Bristol bound traffic have 2 lanes into bristol at the end of the bypass mwhen if it was only one lane, it would allow drivers from long ashton to join the new A370 without queueing or stopping. 3. A similar situation exists and could be improved at Humphry davy way(for LA commuters returning home. The A4 bcomes 2 lanes just before Humphry Davy way. Why? 4. A proper and safe cycle route into bristol for LA residents so that they could avoid the dangerous (for cyclists) Cumberland basin). 5. A purpose built health centre (with off street parking).

AS a member of Long Ashton Bowling Club I find it disgusting that we have to clear the bowling green of Dogs' mess which has been regularly thrown over for the past years. Other damage has been caused, such as burning the hedge between the green and football fiels and the net as a protective measure has been torn down fairly regularly. Just a small bunch of young people are a nuisance and we have no power to control them. In fact, we dare not antagonise them or we get more aggro.

It would be nice to have some local restaurants as opposed to public houses. One of the bigger problems faced by Long Ashton is anti-social behaviour. The use of walkways and lanes by motorised scooters is particularly worrying. The condition of the surface of the main road has appeared to deteriorate considerably in recent months, especially between Folleigh Lane and the Bristol end of the village. This questionnaire has been appreciated in enabling us to give our views.

Sort out the gangs and reclaim village life. Put up more signs and fines for litter louts. The PARK!

Really need to sort out the anti-social elements and police should undertake this. The village should be made safer. The village boundary and green belf MUST be protected from the creep of Bristol AND the commercial and residential development through the valley. The more recent decisions of the council seem to not take any notice of residents. There should be better use and development of green areas for use by residents of all ages. For instance the new housing in the village (Bristol end) didn't properly provide areas for play and enjoyment. Council allowed the creation of a tasteless estate. In next 5 years would like to see LA become a prettier village with a greater community sense of pride, no massive housing sprawl projects, and adequate support for local businesses. The Co-op area is in dire need of changing but this is possibly more to do with the level of yobbish behaviour.

Tighter control of drunk young people late at night in the village. Drugs enforcement i.e stop and searching by police, noise, anti-social behaviour controls and enforced. Teenagers or adults that cause damage made to pay for their criminal damage - named and shamed. Better health centre - doctors are useless. Shopping centre - as Nailsea. Good neighbour scheme - keep down noise as new people into the village seem to behave as they please and are not considerate to others.

Youth that gather around shops are intimidating. Space needed to alleviate boredom

Speed cameras on both Weston Road and Long Ashton road would be good. I am against the expansion of Bristol airport because of the environment. I don't like gangs of youths hanging around the shops and Rec. We need a local bobby on the beat who would know the people and the trouble makers.

The frontage of the Coop should be changed to improve the area. It is always dirty strewn with litter and often poulated by groups of youths involved in varying degrees of anti-social behaviour. Ther is not enough space between the road and the frontage - but I don't have any suggestions on how it could be improved without the Coop spending a lot of money. This respondent wrote "what about the library?" in response to Q11.10

I am aware that many young people do not use the youth club due to the presence of young people who they see as trouble makers. These problem children/young people should not be allowed to dominate a facility open to all young people. The trouble makers should not be allowed to attend. Perhaps more support should be given by parents so as to discourage anti-social behaviour.

The Stephens family evicted from the village. The police taking a zero tolerance initiative against anti-social behaviour in the village

Not enough room bor bicycles, especially with inconsiderate drivers Because of intimidation/vandalism would not use community centre Dogs should not be allowed on football pitch Skate park would be noisy wherever it is. disagree with Juniour football pitch unnecesary if current one dog free How far from houses would motorcycle area have to be not to interfere with houses? An additional football pitch would increase anti-social behaviour Allotments a brilliant idea BMX track would interfere with people on edge of field Conservation, wildlife, ponds rare flowers, shrubs and small trees for birds & local schools projects far better than suggested things
