The motor car is destroying the village feel of Long Ashton by antisocial speeding and ubiquitous parking. Cars will reamin part of village life for many years to come, however schemes can be introduced to encourage walking and pedestrain safety. For example, at strategic locations and busy junctions, speed tables can be incorporated which can be designed to resemble mini town squares. The added benefit would be toincrease the village feel at many locations along the Weston/Long Ashton Road. Finance for such schemes could be sourced from housing evelopers under a s106 planning agreement. (plan provided of possible scheme for block paving/coloured tarmac from Lovelinch Gardens , past the Co-op and the Pizzeria, and up Keedwell Hill as far as the doctors' surgery; with gentle ramps to slow down traffic; and extra seating near the bus shelters outside the dentists and the Tipple.)

1 - It is good that the landscaped car park opposite the old Northleaze School has been built - please could we have some seats at the top of the car park (behind the wall adjacent to the main road) so that residents/visitors can sit and admire the interestinng view across the valley. 2 - The layout and paving around the village shops is badly in need of improvement. Could we have something similar to Nailsea High Streets paving and planting or even something better. 3 - Some owners of overhanging hedges etc may not be aware of the nuisance they are causing. Perhaps a polite note from the Parish Council would help.
