I felt unable to complete Sections 4 and 11. I would like to see an expansion of activities for sport and leisure and the community generally but Section 10 Nuisance Behaviour must be the first priority. It has been happening for a long time and still persists. it has affected the History Society - electricity vandalised leaving us in the dark for 20 minutes; caterers for a function harassed when delivering food for a private event; burning of the trees at the bowling green and missiles thrown over the hedge onto the bowling greenwhile play was in progress; dents in the walls of the comparatively new pavilion and regular harassment and damage; eggs thrown at members of the short mat bowling club and all over the carpet. general damage to the community buildings especially broken windows. Motor bikes ridden across the football pitch at high speed andangering children playing in the area. Blatant theft to be seen when shopping in the Co-op which could jeopardise our shopping facilities in the future. The fact that the Junior Football Club will not play on the local pitch due to dog mess is scandalous. At present a community park would suffer from the same problem in addition to vandalism. Thepolice have proved ineffective in dealing with these problems. Their response time is too long and people who report nuisance rarely feel satisfied with the action or non action against those responsible. I enjot living in Long Ashton and my only regret is that a few people are allowed to mar the pleasure of the majority. I don't want to see money wasted and people who have devoted a great deal of their time to the community disappointed.

Q 2.03 speed cameras - not chicanes or road huumps. More frequent police patrols at evenings and weekends to prevent vandalism and intimidation.

Gutters and pavements need sweeping on a regular basis. The village is filthy. Parking. Something must be done about inconsiderate parking especially in Providence opposite Short Lane where cars and vans are permanently left on a blind bend and the brow of a hill. Also on the main road outside the new houses which are being built at the research station. Bouble Lines must be put at these locations before somebody is killed. Police to patrol on foot throughout the village especially at night to deter vandalism. Not just the main road but the side roads and lanes. Driving through in a Panda car does not address the problem.
