‘Perhaps new signs at Ashburton preventing coaches and long vehicles attempting to cross Holne Bridge’
Parking
A concern which could potentially have catastrophic consequences is the parking of cars at the centre of the village at weekends, restricting traffic flow, i.e. FIRE ENGINES AND AMBULANCES AND LARGE LOCAL VEHICLES.
Recommendation: Parish Council to investigate this possible major disaster area and consult with the following about parking:

Sharing of private vehicles
18 people would be prepared to operate a scheme. 37 people would provide a voluntary transport service with 10 people who would make use of it.
54 people were dissatisfied with the lack of public transport. Perhaps a community bus linking villages throughout the moor, available to walkers, cyclists, locals and tourists would help.
Recommendation: Discuss at Public Meeting on 20th July both the above.
Public Transport
If better public transport was available, how would it be used?
School Bus
- 20% of parents were dissatisfied, mainly with daily arrival late for school, aim for 9.00 am arrival instead of the present 9.15 am.Recommendation: Inform bus company.
