2.03: Traffic calming alwlays causes bottle-necks; enforcement and education are the ways forward. 2.07: The problem at Glebe Road has been exacerbated by the ill-placed school. Closing this would only move the problem elsewhere. There needs to be a proper connecting road between the A38 and A370 and Weston Road. 3.03: For whose benefit? 3.07 & 3.08: How can you compromise quality any further? Service is abysmal at best of times. We need to get VALUE FOR OUR MONEY! 3.10: Waiting areas need to be LIGHTED; most are in total darkness. Also the drain at the stop opposite Glebe Road needs clearing to prevent flooding. 3.12: I cycle a lot in the village. Major problem is the lack of courtesy and common sense displayed my MOST drivers. 5.01: Though delivered, it is always late - events on Thurs. Fri. or Sat. always get missed out because don't know about them until AFTER they have happened. 5.07/5.09: Each of these ideas has its pros and cons, and the degree of each will depend on the type of person the new resident is. It may be necessary to employ each on a trial and error basis to find which really works, but one thing is for certain, there needs to be clear, concise, relevant and TIMELY info. to help integrate - it's just like settling in to a new job. 7.03: Need to enforce the current rules esp. for those irresponsible dog owners. Also need more BINS. 7.02: Need to do something about the youths that hang around littering and abusing passers-by before ? 8.02: Pavements need to be widened for access reasons, and parking should be restricted esp. on the main road. 8.05: Not encountered problems. 9.03: Jobs in the village will create traffic! There has to be adequate traffic management plans for all new developments. 10.02: More annoyance than 'unsafe'. 10.04: Is there a service? 11.01/11.07: Facilities used by young people that cater to their interests is good, and will teach them skills, and provide the guidance they don't get at home. 11.08/11.10: Location would be an issue with these, though they would be good, as access would be paramount. 11.11/11.17: If dog mess is a problem, then enclose the pitch or prevent dog walking and enforce it - there are many other places to walk dogs, but need more poo bins. Something like a proper BMX track or skate park would help prevent the damage done in the woods by kids who build impromptu tracks and cause lots of damage, and put walkers and dogs at risk. Would also keep them off the streets, and give them an area they can call their own.

want traffic calming in glebe road/yanley lane expecially during rush hours levels of theft high, police response disgraceful Yanley has never received the Mercury or Green garden waste bags, people should be asked if they want it, many of these questions as not elderly, with young family, do not feel I can afford more council tax to pay for various improvements and hope we can have low cost improvements that do not interfere with the village atmosphere

it would be wonderful to see LA takins more of an innovative and creative steer to thinking about, and doing something, reducing waste and employing alternative sources of energy. relying on the mercury as the main means of advertising events is problematic. some of us have no delivery and many of us receive delivery 2/3 days late. would have like, in the environmental section of this questionnaire, a section about overhanging and too tall trees and bushes causing distress to neighbours in terms of lost light and continual dropping of leaves and debris eg boundaries betweeen Rigdeway and Chestnut Roads and Northleaze/Westwood Gardens. Would love to see the village retail opportunities increase to include quality fresh food and veg to encourage and enable us to really shop locally.
