What we have done so far.
Residents in Lochend have been running a campaign to get safe crossings across Lochends, improve road conditions and markings in order to make our streets safer for everyone.Lots of people have said that it feels risky to cross the road and cars speed too fast. Leading to near misses for many and sadly fatal and serious incidents for others.
So far we have held a community day and met with the convenor of the Transport Committee and and senior officers, who have said that they will note areas for concern and look into it. This isnt good enough, people have been raising these issues for years. We know the council has millions to spend on road safety, its time out homes had it too.
