1. Prosperity & regeneration

• Against Sustrans & how consultation done
• I’m in favour of the footpath
• Good footpath network
• Fully integrated Wharfedale Trail plan that includes parking & other integration – impact mitigationIf you are putting paths between Addingham/Ilkley/ Bolton Abbey, we need more PARKING in Addingham – we do not want more cars parked at the edge of the roads, but a designated car park for walkers & tourists please
• Footpaths cross the bypass – do we have to wait for another casualty before proper provision is made?
• Maybe we need an information centre providing visitors with details of local facilities etc
• Addingham is gaining popularity as a base for walkers – we need improve existing footpaths and think about what these extra bodies mean
• Better pubs (Heifer good, rest bad)
• Great pubs – particularly food at Fleece & Craven Heifer
• Smarten up shop fronts, particularly those up from Swan & opp butcher
• Possibility of a farmers’ market once a month & a green grocer selling cheaper fruit & vegetables??
• We must support shops & use public transport
• Takeaways e.g. pizza, Chinese, curry
• Need a proper newsagent that delivers papers!
• Great pubs – particularly food at Fleece & Craven Heifer
• The post office is important (concerns re: closure due to withdrawal of pension cards)
• Good local shops
• TESCO needed in future
• Free cashpoint

2. Children & young people

• Under-age drinking , particularly around the park & bowling green (empty bottles & cans)
• Allowing of 18th birthday party functions at Memorial Hall & Golf Club
• More “youth friendly events”
• Decent ramps & lighting at the skate park
• Drugs problems
• Lights at the skate park: bench, ramps, shelter in park like in BurleyMulti-sports court somewhere
• in Addingham
• Get rid of crazy women & crackheads
• Should the recent changes in secondary school admissions announced 3/3 go unchallenged, families will leave Addingham & businesses will close
• Good children’s groups
• We need a “Rainbows” pack & athletics club for secondary school children
• Many activities e.g. brownies, cubs & parks, but the Youth club isn’t used – no-one goes there
• We need a sports centre/ swimming pool
• Parish council must honour their promise to fund/ part fund scout hut as it is important we can trust our elected representatives
• Youth club – no-one goes there
• We need a swimming pool, ice skating rink, park for older children
• No facilities for young people who don’t want to cause trouble i.e. sit & drink coffee & chat
• The negative attitude of some elderly people towards youth is bad

3. Safer Communities

• Chaos in side roads by school e.g. blocked driveways
• 20 mph limit should be raised to 25 mph
• More parking central to the village, but less on Main Street
• More parking needed
• 20mph signs flash when <20 mph
• Parking on Old Station Way on the hill (problems in bad weather)
• Good shops
• 20 mph sign not working & no sign of police enforcement
• Parking on and blocking pavement opposite newspaper & Adams shops
• Car parking on footpaths & double parking on both sides obstructs drivers’ view on Main St. Yellow lines MUST be put in as a priority ASAP
• Traffic calming & speed enforcement on Main St.
• Provide parking for Main St residents
• Double parking in Main St is deplorable – no room for prams or disabled, and old people can’t see to cross the road
• Better access for disabled people to shops- in line with law
• We need more disabled parking bays, and disabled parking outside shops
• Notice to give traffic going up Old Station Way priority
• Need better bus service to Skipton
• Get rid of speed limit, no speed humps
• We need a train station
• Sort parking
• Night bus to Skipton
• More lighting up by golf club road
• Free cash machine (not charge me for withdrawals)
• Great shops (Adams)
• Parking – potential accidents? Hope it will be resolved with the new health centre
• We don’t want yellow lines – we need to ban road rage from Addingham.
• More evening buses to Ilkley & be better co-ordinated with train arrivals
• We need better public transport (e.g. to & from Ilkley). Hardly any bus routes run on a Sunday
• Commuter cycle path to Ilkley. Wld support health & reduce carbon. A65 stretch currently to dangerous
• speed restriction on A65 would reduce noise and be safer at the exit (motor bikes racing up it!)
• more zebra crossings
• parking on Main Street needs to be addressed – should not be allowed on both sides of the street
• Graveyard at Parish Church is nearly full – could Parish Council provide a burial ground for the village on accessible land it owns or could buy?
• Silsden Road Park – footpath very dark when alighting from bus to walk through to housing estate. Could we please have a light where the footpath ends (dark area where someone could hide)
• Stop traffic turning into Bolton Road via the Crown so that they go down the by pass
• Sleeping policemen in front of the school
• Ignoring 20mph speed limit on Main Street
• Lack of parking & garages now they’ve pulled down School Lane garages
• More checking the speed limit through Addingham
• Less yellow lines & signs telling us what to do
• The village is a safe environment
• We need buses to Skipton on Sundays

• Good footpath network
• Fully integrated Wharfedale Trail plan that includes parking & other integration – impact mitigation
• If you are putting paths between Addingham/Ilkley/ Bolton Abbey, we need more PARKING in Addingham – we do not want more cars parked at the edge of the roads, but a designated car park for walkers & tourists please

• Change of stalls & attractions at the gala

• Good parks
• We need a swimming pool, ice skating rink, park for older children
• Addingham needs a safe cycle/ horse riding path. I fully support the proposed Wharfedale Trail

5. Improving the environment

• Sort out the area opposite the library – the galvanised gate & yellow parking posts
• No more 3 storey houses
• Affordable houses only in the future
• Cleanliness in the village (good)
• Dog dirt around the school (I have to watch every step my child takes on his journey to and from school
• Dog mess around the village (including plastic bags full of it thrown into the beck on Bolton Road
• The becks through village need regularly clearing of debris in places e.g. Back Beck Lane
• Continue to protect open./ green spaces
• How long since many drains have been cleaned out (should be an answer to flooding)
• Addingham needs doorstep collections of plastics or at least a recycling point
• Stop building – it affects other people and adds to the parking problem
• Smarten up shop fronts, particularly those up from Swan & opp butcher
• Addingham to become plastic bag free like Hebden Bridge or Modbury in Devon
• Always neat & tidy & well-kept
• Prevent all infill on Greenfield sites
• Make horse riders pick up the horse’s faeces as it is causing an upset for the neighbours
• Inscriptions on lower half of war memorial are illegible. Needs to be cleaned up – not just for remembrance day, but permanently!
• Silsden Road Park – footpath to walk through to housing estate – the drain at this point floods. I had to walk thro’ 5” of water in my best shoes at Xmas
• Recycling area in the village
• I love Addingham Church Yard in Spring. Everything is so lovely
• Dog dirt especially on footpaths (i.e. not pavements)
• Bottle recycling bins (4 compartment: paper, cans, plastic, rubbish)
• I like Addingham because I enjoy the scenery & views. I also enjoy using the two parks

6. Strong & cohesive communities

• A resident police officer would be a good idea.
• Possibility of a farmers’ market once a month & a green grocer selling cheaper fruit & vegetables??

• Better pubs (Heifer good, rest bad)
• Change of stalls & attractions at the gala
• More village participation at gala
• Great pubs – particularly food at Fleece & Craven Heifer
• Affordable housing made available to the young people of the village
• Present size of village is good – prospect of more building is bad – prospect of green belt being used for housing not acceptable
• I’d like more affordable housing so young people don’t have to leave the village
• No motel – housing instead
• More affordable houses to be given to people who actually live in Addingham
• I like the community spirit
• Friendly village, not busy
• I thought the latest newsletter was an excellent ide – very informative and reaching out to the wider community
• The negative attitude of some elderly people towards youth is bad
