Dad-of-two Stuart - whose kids are aged seven and 11 - blasted the scheme for being implemented poorly. He said: "It's a good concept, though poorly executed by the council. It was done piecemeal and they plonked their barricades down in the middle of the night. "They could have implemented it a lot better, so that was a negative. "But before it was a really hostile environment for kids, with speeding cars, so now overall it is better." Across the road young mum Rebecca, 28, said barricades have meant larger vehicles struggle to get through. She said: "I don't disagree with it, but there are big vehicles, like bin lorries that sometimes fail to get round the corner. "If it was a one-way system that would make sense and maybe having double yellow lines on the corner. People still drive too fast round that corner." Others have blasted the Low Traffic Neighbourhood scheme for causing parking issues. Accountant Adeel Ahmad, 49, said: "Before the scheme parking was very easy, now it's an issue for the businesses and residents. "Most of the residents on the street park here as they have to drive all the way round to park at the end of the road. "We have had clients complaining about the parking and then sometimes residents get their drives blocked and they call here seeing if it is our clients. "There is a load more traffic on this street - it's a main through route." Councillor Tracey Rawlins, Exe){kind=link}
