STRATHAVEN

COMMUNITY COUNCIL

The community council has been in discussions with South Lanarkshire Council on traffic management and is holding a consultation on proposals to change traffic priorities entering and leaving the Common Green.

The proposal is to make Bridge Street one-way, leaving the Common Green and Wellbrae one-way entering the Common Green.

A survey form has been prepared for residents to complete to express their views.

The link to the downloadable and printable form is at strathaven.org under ‘Traffic Management’.
