Para 3, page 9, says "Church Lane is also considered unsafe by the community". By way of clarification, although street-lighting is poor, it isn't necessarily unsafe at the moment, given the limited amount of traffic currently using it, but, because there is a "pinch point" by the church, where there is no kerbed pavement, it would undoubtedly become unsafe, and access would be an issue, if up-and-coming or future housing developments were to use it as an access route from the High Street. Parking for the church, community hall, and other purposes frequently restricts traffic to one directional flow.
