Poor Fife road repair planning

She was convinced it was a Puma. But surely livestock would be taken if such a creature existed, and that would be proof positive

Sir, - I have seen the chaos caused by the current thoughtlessly planned and foolishly managed simultaneous road resurfacing of the A914 and the A92.

The C20, now designated by Fife Council as the official temporary bypass, has been in a continuously appalling state for years due to its endless use by tractors and heavy agricultural vehicles.

Even before any recent road resurfacing in the area, cars had to pull up onto the verge to allow a larger vehicle to pass. It is obvious that no council official has taken the trouble to visit the C20 to ascertain its suitability to have buses passing tractors and trailers on it.

Surely Fife Council should instruct the company working on its behalf (and paid for by us) to close a particular road for a designated period of time and to re-route the displaced traffic via a second suitable road.

The impression we are left with in this area is that the resurfacing contractor has told the council what it intends doing and the council has virtually shrugged its shoulders.

I have seen no record of either the council or the contractor making any attempt to contact community councils to get their opinions regarding what mayhem might occur by closing two adjoining main roads simultaneously. Archibald A. Lawrie. 5 Church Wynd, Kingskettle.
