Car parked dangerously, 9th June
A blue car has been parked up on the fast main road right before the bend when you are driving towards Ubley, if you are driving towards Blagdon from Ubley then it is right after the bend. I have witnessed close missed accidents at this spot numerous times. This main road is busy with large lorries and farm machinery due to the proximity of farms and industrial estates who operate non-stop due to them producing food and drinks. This main road is also preferred by motorbikes who enjoy driving around the Chew valley. There is close lay by for other cars to park near a bus stop and most houses have there front accessible for their vehicles. I am not sure if this car needs their drive way sorted or if they should be encouraged to park up in the lay by like all the rest of the cars do, but obstructing a fast main road by a bend is life-threatening.

Signs bent and ripped out of the ground again, 2nd October
Hairpin bend. There have been 2 accidents, one ascending and once descending the hill from Blagdon. There is obviously a rise in traffic of non-local people who do not know this bend is as sharp as it is.
Will someone do a new risk assessment on this bend, as the current signage for ascending and descending this hill is obviously inadequate.

Dangerously Parked Vehicle, 24th January
Van parked here every day, blocking the pavement forcing pedestrians to enter the road on a blind bend to get round, and forcing cars to overtake on a blind bend. I commute past twice a day and its only a matter of time until there is a head on collision. Both wing mirrors have already been knocked off in collisions meaning the van is also dangerous when in use as now has no functional mirrors. There is parking available about 50m away which all the other residents use. The owner is young so has no reason to park directly outside his house. Needs to be moved.
