Communication for Long Ashton should be professional L.A. Direct is excellent. Dog mess around the conservation area is getting really bad.

2.04: I would like to see double yellow lines down one side of the main rd through the village as staggered parking very much restricts vehicle movement. 3.05:would expense be covered? low charge? 5.01: Live in Keeds Lane, too remote! 5.09 youth + community worker.7.01 (recycling) n/a doesn't come to us! 7.06:Litter is kept ok by orderly, but people should be encouraged not to drop it!7.08: NOT in area around shops! 7.0i9 esp by bottle bank. 11.21: One day a week; what ages? youth club age would be good! 11.22: Surely we had the new club room.

Evening social events at various locations in village so that everyone can get to at least one nearby without the need to drive. One, more frequent newsletter/magazine to combine Parish magazine with newsletter. More details of events taking place that may cover more age groups/interests. More use of Mercury to communicate. Description of current activities are too vague to attract new interest.

Reported earlier in the year that Bristol City Council may be looking to build houses on the area behind David Lloyd's & Railway Line (BBC), which could affect LA (especially traffic). Would be good if Parish website / magazine could update the community on developments. Community events at new school?

LA no obvious centre, people use Bristol facilities because close,new development may increase shops which LAPC should, link road and new south west housing development will make village a suburb of bristol, LAPC should: fight development in ashton vale, promote an annual fair on the rec, ban lorries through village - providing number in local newsletters for reporting incidences, appoint a paid communty maintenance officer to maintain community facilities,advertise for volunteers to assist in particular projects eg paint doors, clear guttering etc.

Why use the Park & Ride if you live in LA? Surely it would be better to walk, use a bus or ride a bike - otherwise you are just adding to the congestion Public transport must & needs to be fully addressed before other road calming/speed restrictions are put in place The Mercury is a very important part of communication as an addition to the village Newsletter Welcoming new residents - I don't know how this would work as we moved in last August and haven't seen any publicity for such events. I would also be concerned that there appears to be much resentment to the new houses (and their occupiers) from older residents The health centre seems to be overwhelmed and it can tke time to get an appointment. Is it big enough to cope with the new influx of residents? The use of the car park for dropping off children for the schjool needs to be monitored, most parents still drop off in Copford Lane. Poor lighting at Co-op car park discourages my wife to shop there - its unsafe.
