Quite a few cars are blocking or partially blocking the pavements. This is illegal where the kerb has been lowered. Pavement must be left clear. Public authorities will act if the pavement is blocked. Councillor Docherty suggested someone from Traffic Management should come to speak to the next CC meeting about this in order to work for a solution. ii) It was suggested that more could be done to provide paths for walkers from Arncroach village. This could be a project for the new cdt board. Many thanks to all present. Next meeting – September 4th.
