Car park grievance

The new car park at Burnside Street had, according to many townspeople, been laid out very well with its surrounding flower bed.

Yet this was not the view of many drivers in the town.

They have been complaining about the giant heap of earth centred in the car park.

One driver said: ‘That heap of earth has been there for about two months, even before the workmen started to build the border for the flowers, and now it’s getting worse.’

The chief complaint was that the earth had been blocking many drivers from getting in or out.

Another driver said that some motorists were making things worse in the park, by discourteous parking of the cars.

In reply to these complaints, a burgh spokesman said: ‘The park is under construction and the drivers should have the courtesy not to use it until it is completed.’
