The roads arent too bad, that country lane going up near Bole Hill farms not very safe. I dont like narrow twisty roads however there is the mirror...

Don't forget the horses that are often around at that junction. There are plenty of stables in Mayfield Valley up the road, and a bridlepath down the road at Forge Dam

I completed your questionnaire and have to say it was pain free.

 

You should have received it by now, although you'll still be trying to translate it; my handwriting is awful.

Thankyou ever so much! out of 100 questionnaires sent out got about 45 back, im quite impressed. Somebody just sent me the envelope addressed to me back in another envelope and another person sent a blank questionnaire back lol. I was involved in a crash, pretty ironic when I am do road safety and traffic management.

Agree with the comments about parking, buses passing and CoOp deliveries on Crimicar.

 

Solutions:

Parking/buses passing:

Main problem is on the first bend, because you don't know what's coming the other way till you get there, and then there's no room to get out the way. So a short length of yellow line on the first bend, just above Crimicar Close, right hand side going up, at the point at which either way you can see next bit of road and wait if need be.

 

And for rest of parking and CoOp loading problems, get the parking wardens to do more than drive round and take a look. Actually to be fair there was a car with a ticket on the other day up in the bus stop near Moorcroft Road. Time was CoOp was the 'caring sharing CoOp', but they don't seem bothered these days, there are regular close misses when delivery lorries are illegally loading. Council organises a 'walking bus' from there, and it must be quite dangerous trying to get kids accross the road with vision obstructed.

Parking Wardens down there actually issueing tickets is the only way.

 

There's the same cars parked in bus stops every day in ******* and in ************** too. Come on Parking Services do your job.

 

 

Parapou, you have solutions for the easy problems, but what about the loading aqnd unloading outside the co-op, they do have to get stock into the store, but maybe they would be more caring if they carried the stock to the store from the closest parking 200meters away, oh but thats not very carring for there employees is it, or maybe they could close and pass all the trade Tesco, oh but that would not be carring for the local community.

 

Solution

 

Move the bus terminus, and make the bus stop a delivery zone, not ideal but a solution rather than just a gripe.
