T safety drive continues

commissioning a 22-page report by national road safety organisation Living Streets.

This report highlighted many issues, most of which - according to Perth and Kinross Council - can only be resolved when two major retail developers progress with their sites on the road, however I continue to press for the simpler safety remedies mentioned in the report including having St Dominic’s primary school minibuses removed from the road; having more 20mph flashing signs; and tackling the problem of Crieff Primary School parents parking on Broich Road at pick-up time.

As well as these measures, I have also asked PKC to extend the timings on the 20mph signs to allow children attending breakfast clubs, and leaving school later, safer passage along the road.

I have discussed these issues with Councillor Roz McCall and we are progressing them with the relevant council departments.

Five people are killed on UK roads each day, and more than 60 seriously injured, so I hope your readers in Strathearn will be reassured that the safety situation on Broich Road is being monitored closely and all parties are being urged to move forward for the benefit of the area.
