make a more pedestrian friendly crossing from Lye Mead towards the village shop

roundabout on b3130 as it enters Winford from Chew

our daughter started at Winford Primary in September and I'm shocked at how busy the roads are in the vicinity of the school.

the Queens Coach park is an eyesore and needs to be developed. A community space/play area would be a huge benefit

maintenance and cleaning of the brook in Church Rd. Willow trees need to be back at a low level to make sure people can see and be seen by traffic on the bridge. The new seat is very nice for people feeding the ducks or needing a rest

small sup[supermarket near Bristol airport

road signs to Regil-need extras, improvement and consistency

traffic thro Regil too fast but am against too much signage

would be good to get Broad band In Upper Strode

speed limit in Regil

Dial Lane F should have speed restriction at village boundary-people drive too fast here

£2400 council tax and nothing to show for it but refuse collection!!

vandalism in Felton a big problem-never been a problem in last 30 yrs till now-Youth need to respect their village

reduction in council tax needed

Some q's are not relevant to us as we are too old

tree planted in verges future hazard, damaging drains and services

something to help ease traffic in Winford H St-possibly a car park but where

Special Notequote :

quote : get rid of the playing field, its nothing but a trouble spot. All the money spent on the skate park and still the field is being dug up. I have been in the middle of about 20 teenagers kicking and fighting 10-12 year olds-- and it goes on a lot

a lovely village like Winford would benefit from a park ..with swings/slide similar to park in Wrington in walking distance
