2.03 & 2.05 Traffic calming measures are a waste, roadside parking works just as well. 3.08 & 3.11 The quality and service of buses should not be compromised for price. 6.09 Not me or my family, but friends have. 7.04 More double yellow lines will create inconsiderate parking. 9.01 I would use a general website, but not specifically Long Ashton. 9.03 I do not agree that more local jobs would reduce traffic. 10.05 A warden/guard does not need to be stationed, just more visible. 11.12 Whilst a seating area would be nice, on its own it would be a waste. 11.13 Addtional changing facilities would be required. More needs to be done to improve rush hour traffic flow out of the village. In particular, the Bristol end of the village where traffic passing the Dovecote feeds onto the bypass.

7.04 There are clearly section of the main road where double yellow lines are necessary, but they should be used with single yellow lines with constraints on parking at specific times (8.00am to 10.00am and 4.00pm to 6.00pm?). Traffic calming speed indicators would act as a reminder to those driving excessively fast. They would also be useful in particular "rat runs". Parking is not usually a problem at off peak times, therefore requires minimal use of double yellow lines. Currently the use of double yellow lines in Long Ashton seems to be inconsistant. Has their placing been decided by experienced road traffic engineers, or by parish councillors and residents who do not want parking adjacent to their property? An important factor is that parking restrictions should not, as far as possible, prejudice the running of local businesses. The lighting along the main road is largely lights hung on electricity poles. This does not satisfy the criteria that developers would have to adhere to. Is this not a safety worry? 11.09 Does not Gatcombe farm sell all produce available at a Farmers Market? 11.15 There are already many areas for dog walking. They should however be banned from sports field. 11.16 Should be intergrated with sports field and seating area. 11.22 & 11.23 These should be combined.

There should be double yellow lines on the road between Lampton Rd and Wild Country Lane, had near accident. Also cars parked at entrance to Lampton Rd and Fenshurst Gardens junction, I had a near accident.

Double yellow lines adjacent to Theynes Croft to encourage use of car park for users of amenity in area.

Inconsiderate parking on the main road is becoming a major problem, particularly the creation of chicanes. This can only be resolved by double yellow down one side of the road. A pleasant park where the elderly and Mums with prams can sit in place would be a great asset.
