Access issues in Long Ashton could be a thing of the past under new proposals to address obstructive parking along the main route through the village.

We’re considering bringing in new parking restrictions for points along Long Ashton Road and Weston Road and want to know what you think.

Cars parked at certain points along the main road cause an ongoing problem for larger vehicles.

Bottlenecks affect general traffic, residents, bus services and other public service vehicles, such as emergency services and waste collections.

It also causes delays on the Clevedon to Bristol X7 route and Nailsea to Bristol X8 and X9 services.

Making changes at certain locations would improve general traffic flow and allow a clear route through for service vehicles to serve the community.

Potential locations for parking restrictions have been chosen following feedback from local residents, community representatives as well as bus operators.

The consultation is now open so have your say before 5pm on Monday 24 March.

If you know someone who can’t access the survey online, either email bsip.engagement@n-somerset.gov.uk or call 01934 888 888 (and say 'public transport' when asked) to leave your details and receive a paper copy.

The proposed Long Ashton parking restrictions are among a range of initiatives being put in place and considered under the UK Government-funded Bus Service Improvement Plan.
