Environment

 

 

 

The survey showed that there is a general need for improved management of roads and verges, including the event of flooding. A more pressing need is the improvement of certain danger spots on the roads and a better control of speeding traffic. Improved facilities for cyclists do not appear to be a main priority, although some simple measures could be taken to improve cycling conditions in the village.

 
People are happy with the state of the footpaths on the whole, although changes could be made to make walking around the area more accessible for all.

People felt that there should be more litter bins in the Parish. There were generally favourable views expressed on the quality of refuse collection and waste recycling, with many people using the existing recycling facilities. The majority of people would be willing to separate out certain items for recycling if an extra kerbside collection were to be made.
