The earth bank along this part of Monk's Path is looking fragile and with the recent rains the large tree perched right on the edge of the banking could collapse into the road. This is just up from the entrance to St Andrew's Church in Old Cleeve. Suggest a review by a specialist would be advisable.

Dangerous road, 17th July
Hello, I've moved to Washford 7 months ago. I have a 1 year old, 3 year old (with development delay,speech delay,autism) and a 6 year old. Every morning and afternoon I have to walk my son to school pushing my double pram (my 3 year old have no danger awareness, tried to walk once the way). So the road we need to walk to the school is the main A39 towards Taunton, I need to walk down to the turning to houish lane to carry on safely to the school. There isn't any signs , any crossing , any path for me and my children to walk on. We are on the main road. Many near misses , many times my pram gets touched by cars who don't have the patience to let us though when we are already walking down. And I can't report anything as I have no time to take car reg. Or anything as I need to safely walk my children to the school and back. Many drivers give verbal abuse , swearing, shouting , Many does rude signs at us. I hope there can be something done about it as many year to come I have to be walking that road with my children

Overgrown path, 21st June
The foliage beside the road (A39) is blocking what little footpath there is. I have tried rightsofway @somerset.gov;uk and it replies that there are no "assets" there!!!!. so cannot report it!!! What a stupid system. I request that this path be cleared every year and also every year I ask for it to be added to the list of maintenance areas. I and others (one lady with a pram!!) now walk on the road at a very dangerous bend with narrow passage for traffic. Please chop it down.

Overgrown foliage on footpath, 14th June
I ask every year, sometimes twice a year now as I cannot do it myself anymore. The path on the A39 on station road needs cutting back as we now have to walk on the road.Can this be added to maintenance so that I don't have to report it all the time, please. It is the place where you cleaned up all the glass a couple of months ago.

Glass on the footpath and road., 19th April
Shattered windscreen glass is all along the footpath and the road. It seems not to cut my dogs feet but it is still an anxious moment as we pass.

Edge of road in Huish Lane needs re tarmacing. On street car parking hindered by very uneven surfaces., 3rd April
Huish Lane (A39 end). Edge of road needs re-tarmacing please. Rubble and uneven surface makes our necessary on-street parking difficult. There are two drains (see photos). Cars need to be parked as close to the bank as possible on Huish Lane to give enough width for tractors and lorries connected with the ongoing construction on building sites on Huish Lane. Can provide more photos on request.

Overgrown weeds/shrubs restricting Roadside parking for cottages on, 20th July
Parking on the roadside is becoming extremely difficult (our only parking option) because the high bank is completely overgrown with shrubs, nettles and weeds. We can’t park close enough to the bank because of this and this is dangerous because the Lane is already narrow. School children also walk to school in this lane. We would very much appreciate if you would sort out this problem/hazard. Thank you in anticipation.

Faded pathway lines, 20th July
The pathway painted lines and painted walking person has faded very bad and especially when it’s wet they are hardly noticeable, on school days many parents are battling with speeding cars and keeping safe! As a resident I have come close to getting hit on a few occasions as has my neighbours. A sleeping policeman would also help to slow down the speeding vehicles. Kind Regards
