In particular I support 8.2 and 8.3. Pedestrians, including those with baby buggies, cyclists and mobility scooter users need to have priority and feel safe. High street 'gateways' and a distinctive tiled road surface to indicate a shared space could encourage vehicles to slow right down. The road surface should not be uncomfortable for cyclists though. There are many leisure and sports riders who come through the village as well as local people. Wider pavements would seem to make more off-street parking provision essential and I question where this might be.
