Old wood edging to the footpath and supportss, 15th December
The wood edging is now green and slippery especially when wet. Some of the edging supports project 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the ground level. The two items above make the path potentially dangerous in that they could cause somebody to fall over and hurt themselves. The wooden edging strips have been in ground since 2009 and are now in need of removal or replacement.

Overhanging Hedge, 15th March
Overhanging hedge making it difficult for anything larger than a car to negotiate tight corner. Also during school run times parents with children like to stand on outside of tight corner with visibility in both directions to allow traffic to pass, but currently this is not possible.

Road covered in deep mud, 6th January
This road is covered in mud (and has been for several months) because of (a) runoff from adjacent fields and (b) frequent (daily) use by heavy farm vehicles. Drainage channels are blocked by mud and debris and large, deep pools of water that cover the entire road form after even light rainfall that make the road impossible to traverse on foot.

A396 - Bonniton Lane Juction, 19th June
Road Safety
Thank you for cutting some of the grass/vegtation. However, the original problem of poor visibility to the left, in the Timberscombe direction, remains. This is because the grass/vegetation at about five metres from the junction remains and still obscures ones line of sight to the left at this junction. With the probable summer growth it will become even worse.
Please functionally test for a clear line of sight, after cutting, to appreciate the danger at this juncture. With vehicles travelling north to Dunster at 50 miles per hour there is no room for an error.
Best regards

A396 - Bonniton Lane Juction, 15th June
Road Safety Issue
Very poor visibility to see traffic coming from the left (from Timberscombe direction) due to the height and length of the vegetation. One has to half cross the road to see if it is clear of traffic before one can exit.
Best regards

Footpath blocked by collapsed fence!, 20th February
Despite reporting the precarious nature of this fence last August nothing has been done. Consequently, it has now completely collapsed and is blocking the footpath. The fallen fence has nails sticking out that could cause serious injury if trodden on. There is now no access for pushchairs, prams, invalid scooters etc. which is extremely inconvenient as the alternative route is considerably longer. Please clear footpath as soon as possible. Thank you.

Fence blocking footpath, 20th February
Despite reporting this fence was in a precarious attire last August nothing has been done and now it has fallen over altogether and is blocking the footpath between Ellicombe Meadow and Cumberland Road. The fence is lying along the path with nails sticking up which cause serious injury if someone tries to cross it. It also makes it impossible for wheelchairs, prams and invalid scooters to use! Please clear as soon as possible and make good fence.
