Q 2.07 I would agree to the road closure of glebe rd at rush hour times providing the residents could still gain access to and from their homes. Access to the A38 through Yanley Lane is what should be restricted. I also feel that double yellow lines are needed opposite the entrance to Glebe Rd and at the top of Glebe Rd where Auto Scuderia garage park their vehicles on the bend. Speed ramps in Yanley Lane would also help to put off drivers using the lane as a rat-run to A38

This respondent wrote against Q2.09 that I live "on the A38 - top of Yanley Lane" A38 - The higher volume of traffic on this road makes it more difficult to cross with tractor/LR & trailers etc. Dangerous in fact. Betwen the King's Road and Dundry lane there needs to be a 40mph limit and a speed camera. The bollards etc outside the Town and Country Lodge are better for the hotel but actually a hazard as speeding vehicles do not see them! Yanley Lane - This becomes more and more a rat-run where the speed of vehicles is frightening, there have been several accidents, (unreported some of them) The lane needs a speed limit. 30mph and a notice of how narrow it is. At the end of the lane the school signs do now slow the traffic down but - Glebe Road - at the top particularly is a nightmare with parked cars. There were double yellolines there before the re-surfacing but they have never been put back. They are desperately neede there. Back to the A38 - Between King's Head Inn and Dundry Lane has really become a dangerous stretch of road. More vehicles using the refreshment bar in the Collettes Brook Lay-by, added to the problem. In this particular stretch the A38 is not coping with the increased volume of traffic which is obviously being generated by the airport.

Q2.07 is unclear. Does it mean stopping traffic going into Glebe Rd from Yanley Lane? If yes this means closing off Yanley Lane during the rush hour. This would be an excellent idea. Better still Yanley Lane and Glebe Road should be access only. In Yanley Lane, whilst not directly a Parish Council issue, we always seem to be left out when it comes to recycling services and receiving information.

Close off Yanley Lane to make it access only for residents. Put access road onto the bypass and off the bypass from Wild Country Lane/near Barrow Hospital to route the traffic from the Nailsea end of Long Ashton to the bypass rather than through the village. With the number of new houses put in amenities at the Nailsea end of the village i.e. pub/restaurant. Reduce speed limit on Yanley Lane to 20mph along its entirety from Glebe Road to the Woodspring golf and country club. I have lived in Long Ashton for 10 years and I have never been welcomed into the village and feel it's only for administration convenients that Yanley is part of Long Ashton, in fact if we had not rung the council we would not have received recycling bags and boxes. If the heading of Section 7 is correct then Yanley Lane is obviously not considered as the banks are eroded by the traffic and by fly tipping. Where is the Parish Councli action on that?
