The weak areas in Long Ashton are the condition and facilities of most of the shops. We consider the only quality shops are the bakery and the chemist. The other shops are in poor condition unbinviting and depressing. You only have to compare these shops with any in other villages. e.g. compare our Co-op with the one in Chew Magna. Chew Magna Co-Op is always well stocked, well presented, clean and withh polite and attentive staff. the whole central area of Long Ashton need to be brought into the 21st century in order to survive. Illegal signs are also a problem. Some retail outlets just keep adding signs without applying for planning permission these do not seem to be regulated and should be. Long Ashton is a good village with many good people, we all need to ensure it does not fall into an unregulated sprawl. I actively avoid Long ashton Post Office. I go to Failand monre than helpful and cheery.

Too many signs that state the obvious, which should be reduced.

Long Ashton is pleasant village to live in. A few 'problem' areas :- speeding traffic on main road, loitering near shops and park. More reasonably priced shops - less car use. Co-op improving, well stocked but bakery expensive. People have to drive to gatcombr Farm Shop or use trecherous pavements by fast road. Could Gatcombe supply fresh produce to Co-op? Cafe/ meeting place would be good for young mums. Parking at Post Office difficult and dangerous. Need signs to Northleaze School. Dog poo is major issue - irresponsible owners at fault.
