Therewereplenty of comment on claims made lastweek the Cathkin Relief Road had not eased congestion in Rutherglen.

“Trying to turn right from Blairbeth Road onto Mill Street is an absolute nightmare now with the traffic light timings, even at non-peak times.”- Jacqui XOhldagx

“Worked brilliantly to ease traffic on Blairbeth and Stonelaw roads which I think was the plan. Just moved it on to Mill St where the lack of a change of light priorities is causing problems at Main Street.”- Elaine Fee

“I think its a great wee road, it certainly takes the pressure off Fernhill.”- Sandra Effie Arnott

“No complaints here. I think the road, particularly the landscaping is a vast improvement to what was there before. I live in Fernhill Road, big improvement in traffic here and noticed a big difference on Blairbeth Road too. One of us is up and down five or six times a day to school and nursery and have never seen any hint of congestion, that must have been a one-off.”- Katie Sturgeon

“New road is excellent as is the landscaping. It has made a considerable difference to Blairbeth Road. It would be improved by right turning filters at the traffic lights.”Marjorie McLennan

“Maybe if the locals stopped whingeing every five minutes and the speed was increased to 40mph there would not be tailbacks on the road. Thirty is far too slow for this kind of road.” - Kenny Bready

“I miss the walks through natural parkland and seeing the wildlife it’s replaced.”- Gill Gowran

“Don’t often have to commute at rush hour but had to this month. Day one at 7.45am, before main rush hour, the tail back reached the railway bridge. Day two, left at 7.30am in attempt to reach work in time, tail back reached Blairbeth Road. There wasn’t a day three as it was making me late for work.“- -Frances Coyle
