Representation Summary:

Mill Rd, inadequate width in many parts for large vehicles, buses , lorries, vans to pass without mounting the path or existing verge.
At the West of Mill Rd near sharp bend before the school heavy surface water still accumulates after heavy rain. Symptomatic of inadequate drainage.
A dangerous blind bend before junction where buses etc frequently mount pedestrian pavement at short notice when meeting oncoming traffic which is also hidden by the large hedge of playing field especially when hedge is in leaf.
Lack of pavement continuity throughout Mill Rd.

Change suggested by respondent:

Improve existing drainage network substantially.
Exit proposed onto Mill Rd from new development potentially dangerous as close to blind corner so widen road and provide passing places.
Suggest Church Rd considered for such an exit.
Extend and provide continuity of pedestrian pavement all along Mill Rd
Cut off blind bit of play area.
Make Mill Rd One way system or widen the road substantially.
