Speeding vehicles coming around the blind bend, 15th March
Drivers come around this blind bend way too fast. Many are speeding, but even those going at the 30mph speed limit are travelling way too fast for the road conditions, especially if school children are trying to cross the road. Can we please have a lower speed limit here? And could there be some consideration about how to get 2 pavements on this road (even if it means restricting motor traffic to one way)?

Dozens of idling vehicles at school pickup time, 16th December
Lots of drivers turn up 30-45 mins before school pickup and leave their vehicles idling the whole time. There is a parking restriction here during school pickup time but it is unenforced. The smell of vehicle fumes here at pickup time is horrendous.
This might be an easy place to put in a segregated two way cycle path. This road is currently treacherous for cycling at peak school times due to all the illegally parked cars, but as the parking is already prohibited here at peak times and unused at off peak times, it might be a quick and easy win. And some local secondary school students put off cycling by the danger of this stretch of road might cycle rather than be driven by their parents. A number of parents idling here at pickup live less than a quarter mile from school, so the danger of this road is likely the reason these students are being collected by car.

Dangerous crossing for pedestrians, 16th December
This crossing point is the only option for many school children and due to blind bends and high traffic speeds and a lack of pedestrian crossing infrastructure (like a zebra crossing or traffic light), it is dangerous and utterly terrifying. Many families drive to school despite living walking distance from Home Farm because this crossing is too treacherous.

Wrong road markings, 5th December
Hello Customer Service Team, On a regular drive, passing the mini roundabout at Goojerat Road there is a marking on the road to watch out for cyclists, however, drivers stop on the middle of the mini roundabout as cars are passing, misinterpreting the markings as Zebra Crossings. On multiple occasions there are close incidents where cars heavy stop and cars close to incident. I strongly suggest you move the markings as it causes so much disruptions. Thank you Alex
