1. The usable width of the pavement/footpath along the A29 between Watersfield and Coldwaltham is severely restricted by overgrown vegetation. It is totally inadequate and highly dangerous to use. Usable width is certainly narrower than every statutory/recommended width I've consulted. 2. HGV's and other large vehicles' wing mirrors often overhang the footpath at head height when they pass. I've been 'near-missed' a few times. It's a terrible accident just waiting to happen. I realise it's an A-road in name, but it's simply too narrow (at many points) for HGVs to use safely. 3. Almost all drivers of all vehicle types going through Watersfield and Coldwaltham substantially exceed the 30mph speed limit. My best estimate of average passing vehicle speeds is c 40-50mph - especially those travelling downhill into Watersfield from either direction. (its easy to spot those doing 30 - there's a queue of imp[atient drivers behind them! Inadequate signage doesn't help and advisory speed beacons have little or no effect. Statutory speed enforcement and/or physical infrastructure is badly needed to make pavement use and road use safer. Please act before there's a tragic incident.
