In relation to the suggestion for Glebe Road (2.07), I think this is short sighted and does not consider those of us living in Yanley Lane. My suggestion is to close Yanley Lane above the last house in the rush hour periods to achieve the same objectives. Additional suggestions include: Traffic calming measures in Yanley Lane where housing is located. Given the future residential pressures the green belt retention is very important. Given the comprehensiveness of the questionnaire, I was surprised there wasn't more questions on the future expansion of Bristol as formulated in plans associated with the Regional Spatial Strategy.

post office is important, next day delivery not guaranteed unless posted before 12pm, needs modernising inside, I would need 2 buses to get to work, speed and amount of traffic concerns, plus parking outside Toyota garage/top of Glebe road, makes access in and out of road difficult, parking also a problem along the Weston road where they are developing the old Research station

parking acts as traffic calming restrictions on Glebe Road would require a sign on A38 end of Yanley Lane

Dangerous exit at the top of Glebe Road due to the totally restricted view to the left, blind bend to the right and cars (mainly from the garage) parked all along the road opposite.

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.
