Make the pavement wide enough for two prams, mobility scooters, and pedestrians to pass one another without one having to step onto the road.

It's August, it's heaving with people & vehicles. The A149 is at standstill from Snettisham to Hunstanton. Meanwhile, two people on mobility scooters are riding along the middle of the road because the single path isn't fit for purpose. In … [more]

The promenade between Heacham and Hunstanton should be equipped for cycling, it's wide enough. A lot of towns have shared spaces for walkers and cyclists.

The road from the Dersingham roundabout to the cycle way is really unpleasant to cycle at anytime. If there was a cycleway it would complete a comfortable route from Hunstanton to King's Lynn ( rather than the longer and winding existing … [more]

Sensible scheme to slow cars at the junction - but why not put in some cycle parking for the Burnham Market Stores across the road?

Overhanging bushes and trees have made the path narrow on both sides of the road. Dangerous at school times. Needs pruning and hedging taken back to make paths wider

The pavement along the main road is tiny. It’s a main route for most of the village to walk/bike to school and sometimes I feel scared of my child’s safety when a lorry or bus comes by. One wrong move would mean they are on the road. Think … [more]
