Issue - meetings

Kevin McIntosh informed the Group that the latest Sandbank Road speed survey results were currently with Police Scotland and that the average speed was below the speed limit.

The Forum held a conversation regarding methods used for conducting speed surveys and whether Community Councils could put up their own signage to help reduce speeds. Mr McIntosh informed the Group that a Community Council could request permission from the roads authority to erect signage but this would not change the speed limit of the road.

Outcome

1. The Forum requested that a copy of the speed limit policy be circulated to the Group.

2. Iain McNaughton requested a speed survey be carried out on the Sandbank Shore Road and the results be passed to Sandbank Community Council.

3. Debbie Donald requested a speed survey be carried out in Cairndow, specifically closer to the Hydro Cottages.

A representative from Police Scotland was not present at the meeting, therefore no update was provided.

Outcome

Paul Farrell informed the Group that a speeding survey on Sandbank Road was due to be carried out in the next six weeks and he would report back to the Transport Forum with the findings.
