190623 The junction between Dundry Lane and the A38 is very dangerous for all, car, bicycle and pedestrian. Road calming and safe crossings needs to be introduced here.- 190622 This style has been changed to a closed gate which means it is not accessible to people with limited mobility or parents with push chairs. This needs to be replaced with an opening gate
- 190621 Winford Lane is one of 3 options for people to travel from Dundry to Winford - which many parents do twice a day to/from school in Winford. (other routes are along the Wells Road and along the A38). Could Winford Lane be a slow lane? It is little over a mile to Winford, so if it was a slow lane, parents/children could walk/cycle between the two villages.
- 190620 Start of the 20mph zone coming into the village from the Winford Lane
- 190619 Start of the 20mph zone when coming from the Wells Road/W Dundry Lane
- 190618 There should be a footpath through this field from Beechcroft to the Village Hall, Sports Fields and Pre-School on Crabtree Lane. This is essential, as we have no pavements on Church Road, Downs Road and much of Crabtree Lane. A footpath would facilitate a safe route to/from school for children, to/from the church, the bus stop and the pub for everybody else. At present, people have to walk along Downs Road, where there is no pavement, but where large HGVs go up/down the road to the scrap yard. A footpath would transform our village life.
- 190617 Highridge Road should have a cycleway, so that cyclists can safely cycle down to Highridge Green and connect to the Malago cycle network into bristol
Going up hill into the village along Dundry Lane, this should be the start of the 20mph zone
- 190615 Build outs with cycle filters through them do not work - cars parked behind them make them either impassable or dangerous when rejoining carriageway
- 190614 Build outs with cycle filters through them do not work - cars parked behind them make them either impassable or dangerous when rejoining carriageway
- 190592 Narrow road. No pavements. Dangerous for pedestrians
- 190578 This is a very narrow causeway which only just allows two vehicles to pass. The current speed limit is 60mph. This road is used by pedestrians,cyclists and horseriders accessing Nailsea and cycle routes to Bristol. The speed limit should be reduced to 20mph and have appropriate signage for a cycle/pedestrian lane.
- 190577 This is a single track lane without designated passing places which is used by pedestrians and cyclists. It is a 'rat run' for vehicles crossing from Nailsea to access the M5 north and Bristol
