2.03: The reason we think traffic calming is not a good idea is because of District and Planning decisions to allow extra housing extensions etc and reduce road widths, which puts extra cars on the road. People do not use their garages or drive-ways. An intergrated system of speed cameras would be more effective for reducing speeds and would allow for monitering habitual parkers of blocking roads. 8.05: We were told when the 'Birdwell' estate was built that the front wall should only be for small plants. Now we have large overhanging bushes especially in parts of Fenshurst Gardens and Bradville Gardens, making walking on the pavements difficult. This also blocks the view when driving. There are also similar situations on the main road. Large commercial vehicles parked in residential streets - often on the pavement. No one seems to be interested. Maybe an evening Police patrol would be a good idea.

I would like to see the co-op shut at 8 p.m. every night. This would stop yob element. Also a speed camera near the co-op would greatly reduce the speed of some motorists who clearly do not abide by the limit through the village. I would like to see more community spirit. I would like to see more Christmas decorations, a Christmas tree lit up where the children could gather on Christmas eve and make their last Christmas wishes and maybe the guides could sing carols etc. This village has lost its magic - lets get it back please.

Shops area (Co-op) needs updating. Car park need lighting and tidying up. Parking on Weston Rd is dangerous, especially near zebra crossing. I feel vulnerable on my bicylce due to speeding cars - particularly on Wild Country Lane. Speed camera should be there and at Barrow Gurney as people use it as a rat run to the airport. Kids in the village need places to go and thing to do as they can cause a problem on streets. I feel intimidated at times walking to the shops. Iwould love to see a farmers market and allotments as I am a keen gardener.

Speed cameras on both Weston Road and Long Ashton road would be good. I am against the expansion of Bristol airport because of the environment. I don't like gangs of youths hanging around the shops and Rec. We need a local bobby on the beat who would know the people and the trouble makers.

Speed restrictions + police speed scanners operating at impromptu times at Theynes Croft. Q7.03 More bins for us responsible dog owners - but cats can pooh anywhere......maybe cat owners and horse owners should clear up after them.

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

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.

Definitely a farmer's market. No more estate agents, finance etc, no bookmakers. A café /deli would be welcome for young and old but lively please. Community/volunterr transport for old/disabled people to attend doctors - clubs etc. No mor new build in vast numbers - swampimg the village facilities, doctors surgery/ nurses already over stretched. I do not agree with speed cameras - these are just a police /government fund raiser. Another silent tax. However controls telling people their speed, helps to make people aware. A lot of commuters know where the cameras are and slow down only to go twice as fast after.
