Green belt - could be relaxed in places Welcoming new residents - produce a welcome pack such as that delivered by the parish church Farmers markets should include local farmers to showcase their produce one stop shop - could that be the library and open more? the co-op site + car park should be regenerated / redeveloped could provide a new centre for this end of the village where better new fac ilites are needed to serve the new and growing population

expand library services to provide 1 stop shop/info centre. P.Plan is good idea, but some questions restrictive, /could have been formulated better.questions on demographics would give visibility on importance of subjectecs to which section of community

Like more funding for library and longer opening hours. No mention of library or role of Parish Church in hosting concerts and offering community support.

Not sure whether it is useful to ask for 'opinions' on merits of various schemes, without providing background info. I am not really qualified to decide whether a 2nd football pitch is more needed than a scout hut. Presumably other residents will be suitably unqualified, which discredits the validity of the responses. Why can't the Scouts use the same venue as the Guides? Presumably their inner village site could be sold, and funds used for other purposes? Longer opening hours at Library. Continued opening up of rights-of-way/footpaths.

Bus frequency - Weston and Clevedon buses should be routed through the village, rather than down the bypass, thus giving improved service. Library not mentioned in this survey - WHY NOT? It should be improved by providing a toilet and refreshments, thus fulfillliing the need for a meeting place in the centre of the village, and encouraging people to the shopping area. The opening hours should also be increased to make better use of the exissting valuable facility. Doctors surgery - With the expanded village, there is a need for an EXTRA FULL TIME DOCTOR. Surgery should be open at lunchtime (invaluable for working people), and we should return to a Saturday morning emergency surgery. CURRENT OPENING HOURS ARE INADEQUATE. Parking - Vehicles parked on the main road outisde the new houses at the Research Station create a very dangerous situation and should be prevented. Police should enforce obstruction laws on the bend/brow of the hill. Pavements - These should be better maintained and cleared, particularly along 'The flats' to Cambridge Batch. Roads - The road surfaces along the main road through the village are appalling, also Ridgeway Road is like a roller coaster - particularly bad for cyclists in both cases.
