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.

2.04: I would like to see double yellow lines down one side of the main rd through the village as staggered parking very much restricts vehicle movement. 3.05:would expense be covered? low charge? 5.01: Live in Keeds Lane, too remote! 5.09 youth + community worker.7.01 (recycling) n/a doesn't come to us! 7.06:Litter is kept ok by orderly, but people should be encouraged not to drop it!7.08: NOT in area around shops! 7.0i9 esp by bottle bank. 11.21: One day a week; what ages? youth club age would be good! 11.22: Surely we had the new club room.
