Results

Notes

1. &n= bsp; The raw nu= mbers in this report have been taken from the Excel file “Ch Table response count” extracted from the CD supplied by Chedworth parish.=

2. &n= bsp; The percen= tages in the PERSONAL section of this report have been recalculated from the raw num= bers as described below (5).

3. &n= bsp; The reason= for recalculating the percentages is as follows: The percentages calculated by = the software package originally used by Chedworth parish had been derived using= the number of individuals who answered a particular question rather than the to= tal number who took part in the survey. The former method can often lead to misleading results, which is why the percentages have been recalculated for= the purposes of this report. Furt= her information on this decision can be provided if required.=

4. &n= bsp; From the d= ata provided it is known that:

· 192 househ= olds completed the HOUSEHOLD section of the questionnaire

· 412 indivi= duals completed the PERSONAL section of the questionnaire

5. &n= bsp; Unless sta= ted otherwise, all percentages in this report have been calculated as follows:<= o:p>

· In the HOU= SEHOLD section, percentages are based on the figure of 192, e.g. if 96 households = gave a particular answer this would be represented as 50%

· In the PER= SONAL section, percentages are based on the figure of 412, e.g. if 206 households gave a particular answer, this would be represented as 50%

6. &n= bsp; Some quest= ions invited respondents to “tick more than one box if appropriate”. Where thi= s is the case the percentages may add to more than 100%.

7. &n= bsp; Where appl= icable (and appropriate), the number of households or individuals who did not answer a particular question is indicated.= These can generally be found at the base of the tables, labelled “No reply”.

8. &n= bsp; All commen= ts made by respondents have been assigned to the most relevant questions. Any remaining comments have been provided at the end of the report. All comments are shown in italics.

9. = N.B. Whilst compiling this report, several minor differences were noticed between the wording used on the CD and the wording used in the final draft of the questionnaire. The wording from the latter has ge= nerally been used, apart from two cases where the differences were more significant= and it was necessary to use the questions as they appeared on the CD. Both instances are indicated in the report.

·     Traffic calming/speed limit through Pinkwell as it is an accident waiting to happen. 9 children live betwe= en Longbarrow Farm/Pinkwell.

·     30mph limit at entrance to village

·     Cars come over the brow at Pinkwell at 50 mph, they cannot see what is the other side - lots of children live here.

·     Make whole village 30mph.

·     No speed on Fields Rd, restrict very large lorries, examine all general parking e.g. pub, close to church.

·     Pinkwell - we would like warning signs and a speed restriction of 30mph. Some vehicles are travelling up to 50mph.

·     Stop parking around school or relocate school.&= nbsp; Encourage people to cut down on light pollution. Restrict speed through village and= deal with people caught driving without care for others.

·     We are concerned about the traffic speed at Pinkwell, it is only a matter of t= ime before someone is killed. The= road is only wide enough for one vehicle, outside Pinkwell Cottage there has been more than one incident.

·     We live in Pinkwell and are very concerned by the speed of cars on the road through the hamlet. We would = be keen to pursue proper speed restrictions, there are a lot of young children= in the hamlet which we need to keep safe.

·     (duplicate comment removed from here)

·     Parked cars on narrow roads are increasingly a hazard. There = must be penalties and all new houses must have more adequate off road parking.

·     Weight and size of traffic - particularly in Lower Chedworth is becom= ing a problem

·     I would like to see a path on = one side at least, on Fields R= oad. Fast road and I'm an elderly perso= n - have a motorised scooter but too scared to use it. This limits my independence and qu= ality of life.

·     Affordable housing is essential to correct/keep the social and econo= mic balance. Many semi retired ha= ve kept and enriched societies and activities in the area but I'm concerned ab= out the weight of balance towards those that are well moneyed. We need a balanc= e.

·     Affordable housing is a major issue in the parish which seems to be talked about endlessly but nothing happens. The village is not only losing a generation because of it, but we no longer have the socio-economic mix of 20 yrs ago.

·     Can research be undertaken into creation of a planning area similar to New = Forest and Exmoor whereby local people & lo= cal workers are given priority for housing.&nb= sp; Is there a way of making better use of council tax generated by seco= nd homes and holiday housing?

·     Future h= ousing must give our youngsters a chance to stay in the village if they want to, n= ot "townies" making a takeover bid.= A village needs young to stay alive.

·     Housing = is extortionate & most people I know could not sell and re-buy in this are= a.

·     It would= be better for the village if the young people could stay and bring up their families here. As it is most = young people can't afford this.

·     Please - we do not want to encourage any more development, as this o= nly leads to more traffic and this is the greatest menace in the village.<= /o:p>

·     No development of any agricultural land (for building houses etc). No estates.<= /p>
·     I think Chedworth is large enough and I don’t want to see much= new housing. There are quite a few semi-derelict farm buildings around which are real eye-sores.
