Pavement width is inadequate, 17th August
In December 2021, the DfT published a long paper called "Inclusive Mobility". On pages 27-30, it sets out the minimum widths acceptable for pavements. All the pavemnent between Watersfield and Coldwaltham is now ovedrgrown and we are seeking ways to address this. A previous correspondent has referenced this photos. Is the Parish Council empowered to take axction to clear these pavements to comply with requirements?

Risk to life and limb caused by: 1. Pavement/footpath width inadequate; 2. HGVs wing mirrors overhang pavement when passing; 3. Excessive vehicle speed >30mph limit, 8th August
1. The usable width of the pavement/footpath along the A29 between Watersfield and Coldwaltham is severely restricted by overgrown vegetation. It is totally inadequate and highly dangerous to use. Usable width is certainly narrower than every statutory/recommended width I've consulted. 2. HGV's and other large vehicles' wing mirrors often overhang the footpath at head height when they pass. I've been 'near-missed' a few times. It's a terrible accident just waiting to happen. I realise it's an A-road in name, but it's simply too narrow (at many points) for HGVs to use safely. 3. Almost all drivers of all vehicle types going through Watersfield and Coldwaltham substantially exceed the 30mph speed limit. My best estimate of average passing vehicle speeds is c 40-50mph - especially those travelling downhill into Watersfield from either direction. (its easy to spot those doing 30 - there's a queue of imp[atient drivers behind them! Inadequate signage doesn't help and advisory speed beacons have little or no effect. Statutory speed enforcement and/or physical infrastructure is badly needed to make pavement use and road use safer. Please act before there's a tragic incident.

Worn out and near-invisible road markings, 20th June
The road markings on the A29 through Watersfield (Coldwaltham too) are so worn they’re virtually invisible. I walk along here frequently, and have noticed an increase in drivers ignoring the no overtaking white line markings. This is highly dangerous, and often encourages speeding. It needs sorting quickly. I’d also recommend putting ‘30’ markings on the road surface too. Dangerous speeding is a real problem along the entire 30mph limit stretch

30mph sign damaged (pushed into hedge), 20th June
The 30mph sign on the southbound side has been bent - away from the road - and is now largely hidden by foliage. This is a notorious area for speeding vehicles - and is a walking route with a very narrow foot pathway - so should be attended to as a matter of urgency to remind vehicles of the speed limit
