Far too long to close a road causing unnecessary congestion and very little work seems to be being done.

Left out of loop as usual for a disgusting unwanted scar in this area .

Major inconvenience to my day to day as a frequent user of both Abbotsham Road and Osborne Lane. Moreton Park Road is difficult and at times dangerous to drive due to parking on bends, level of traffic and road condition.

Mum lives in Abbotsham, dad buried in Abbotsham churchyard. Diversions dangerous with road conditions/surfaces. Access to N Devon link road limited and adds extra time to journey but more importantly congestion. Diversions can not cope. Have to think about what time to travel to avoid busy times. Very frustrated about the total inconvenience when there does not seem to be much work going on. Why can't there be traffic lights? We need access to Abbotsham and the ND link road.

It’s really affecting my work when trying to get to different households for work. I live in college park and my first house call is in westward ho! followed by one in east the water. I have half an hour turn round and it’s not enough. I used to be able to do the same trip in the allotted time but now it takes me 45 minutes on a good day to reach my first house, on a bad day it takes over an hour to reach Cornborough road.

This is yet another example in this area of the county council having complete disregard for the constituents of the North Devon area. It really feels like they don't care and know there's nothing we can do about it. It's an absolute disgrace how taxpayers are being treated.

I travel to work down this road (usually 1.5 miles) and come home for my lunch and walk my dog. My commute is now 4 miles each way, one of the roads is so full of pot holes it's ridiculous, the other road is a building site and will mo longer ride my motorcycle up there because it's too dangerous. The commute now takes over 20 minutes so I am unable to get home for my lunch and walk my dog.

The lack of access is disgusting. Why will it take so long?

Lots of added stress, loss of earnings, more financial loss, lots of added time and cost for journeys. No real diversion plans apart from redirecting into busy areas causing even more congestion. It highlights all the routes in Bideford are mostly single way traffic when you take into account parked vehicles.
With having 3 children and being two full time workings adults the route to the school was 5 minutes journey time but is now 20 minutes so per journey is an extra 30 minutes and when you consider on some days we have to go to the school a couple times due to after school clubs including sats practice, it is absolutely horrendous that I now spend the evening travelling to the school and clubs. I now have to rush tea time and the children’s bed time routines with the children now not having any time to do their homework as well as any time to unwind which is very important for their recovery for their next day

These works should be sorted in a shorter time frame...too much inactivity and a main route adding to our journeys costing time and money

What a joke this is surely traffic lights could be put in place. Now my 2 mile drive is over 20 miles
