Due to the expansion of the village we would like to see a good variety of shops, much closer together, becoming the heart of the village, as I don't thin there is a heart. I'm sure more money would be spent locally if we had a small shopping precinct. Access would be so much easier for the driver, only stopping and parking once, and the elderly would not have to go from one end eg the library to the other, the chemist. I would like to see bus fares at one price as other towns do, whatever the distance. £3.50 return is bad enough but £5.10 return to Nailsea is appalling. If it cost perhaps £1.50 maybe more people would leave their cars at home and the empty buses would be full. Street lighting improved. Keedwell Hill on the corner of Rayens Cross Road by the church is very dim.

For my family the main problem with living in Long Ashton is the very expensive & infrequent bus service to Bristol & Backwell
tagged with: bus fares  
2.00 Traffic- volume increasing. Concern about parking on Weston Rd by new houses. Danger to other traffic. 3.00 Bus fares extortionate. Need for reliable, subsedised efficient service to reduce car use.Strongly support construction of safe cycle routes. Need route to Bristol from nailsea and Backwell. 6.00 Doubt my 3 children could afford to buy in Long Ashton. 7.00 Why do people pick up dog mess and throw plactic bag on verge?? 8.00 Safe walking. Make paths accessible to everyone but don't surface everywhere. We are still counrtyside. 9.00 Economy Not sure more jobs would reduce traffic. May increase travelling to village.
