•  Retain as many views of river as possible

•  So much beautiful river bank that we can't get to.   It would be great to have some riverside paths

•  Agree +++ re riverside paths

•  Access to river should be improved.   V limited now

•  Replacement of footpath 'bridge' in field opposite Longparish House (noted 'that will happen after Christmas)

•  Help the water and mud build up along path/road edges

•  Cut river weed more often to reduce flooding risk

•  Riverside footpath would be nice.

•  Children used to be able to swim in river - at sheep dip and Long bridge - why not again?

Freedom to walk the river banks and observe their natural beauty

• Children's ability to see rivers close up
• To be able to look at the wildlife and have more access for children to river

•  More access to river

•  Access to river

•  River swimming should be provided in one supervised area
