Pavement parking in Dalcross Street, a Restricted Parking Zone where, as the sign says, drivers are to "park only in signed bays".
Sign saying 'No Entry except cycles' for Church Street on Dumbarton Road, the lower part of which has since been covered up since there is no contraflow on Church Street at present.

Replace the bollards and have a firm word with them.
- 199215 Bollard in the centre of the path as you come round a corner. Remove as serves no purpose and is a hazard.
- 199213 Far too many non-compliant chicanes on this path preventing accessible cycling. Remove.
- 199212 Remove the barrier here to accessible cycling.
- 199211 Upgrade the footpath to a properly surfaced bridleway to enable residents to cycle into St Neots from Rookery Road.
- 199209 Upgrade the footpath to a properly surfaced bridleway to enable residents to cycle into St Neots.
- 199208 Enable people on cycles to use the footways over the bridge to get away from fast cars and lorries.
- 199207 Speed limit needed at flat crossing with no lights of the road. Cars speeding through at crazy speeds.
- 199205 Hedges to north of shared use pavement are very overgrown in places forcing people on cycles and foot too close to speeding cars using the road as a rat run to avoid congestion on the A421. Prune the hedges.
- 199204 Should be a 20mph road with traffic calming to stop fast driving.
- 199202 Phasing of the lights does not allow enough time for cyclists to clear the bridge before the opposite flow starts leading to conflict as witnessed today.
