Retailers need deliveries; we have a few large Retailers that need space to take on deliveries. As long they keep their space clean and tidy, manageable and provide a good atmosphere, these places should have an allocated Lorry parking bay knowing they have somewhere they can take deliveries safely and respecting the flow, it will ease tension and provide safe passage of other road users including cyclists and motorbikes.
Drivers using mobiles and not paying attention, Speeding is still an issue and needs addressing soon as possible, More speed prevention is required such as:
• Speed humps,
• Another crossing,

Traffic management is pretty poor, it could be massively improved.
