B J Village Centre Congestion

I have learned that the Authority has already considered and has responded to others who have raised a couple of the points I have covered below. The reply appears to be in the normal “Gobbledy Gook” language expected of those in the employment of an official Administration. The language as usual contains text which is pure “legislation speak” . What is wrong with "Plain English" and reasoned decisions based upon a flexibility and understanding which can be appreciated and understood by us "pure mortals"

We have numerous “peak-time” traffic problems in BJ village, with the intensity of private and commercial vehicles aggravating the existing difficulties and safety of pedestrians going about their everyday shopping and leisure activities
-
Within a few metres in any direction of the small Shopping Parade in Main Street are numerous pedestrian road crossing hazards
-
1)Pedestrians crossing the bottom junction of Padleys Lane in both directions,
2)Pedstrians crossing Main St, to and from the “Cross Keys” / the Co-op,
3)Pedestians crossing the road to and from the “Cross key” to The Charity Shop , Post Office , Chemist etc
4)Pedestrians crossing Main St diagonally to and from the Co-op Car park to the Post Office, Chemist etc
5)Pedestrians crossing the road at the bottom of Willow Wong in both directions
6)Pedestrians crossing to and from Main Street to Meadow Lane.
7)Pedestrians crossing Meadow Lane in both directions
8)Pedestrians crossing Main Street to and from the Post office to the Old School side
9)Pedestrians crossing Chestnut Grove from the Old School side to and from the Coop Food Store
10)Pedestrians crossing midway along Chestnut Grove to and from the Coop Food Store.. ..
11)Supplement the above dangerous crossings required by the pedestrians, with the further need for some villagers needing to access the one of the two scheduled Bus service Stops on either side of Main street a the continual mounting and dismounting of the “ to and from Nottingham service”. (particularly at school start and finish times)
-
Add to all the above facts that a major proportion of the village population is either young and elderly and that there is always a disproportionate number of cars use the above area within routine high peaks at regular daily periods and .. ..
-
.. ..there does exists a formula to ease the above for the events (a no parking village centre) which I am sure few of us want to consider for road side car parking would simply extend further out along Main street in both directions .. .. .

This situation definitely needs resolving
