Report by Executive Director with responsibility for Roads and Infrastructure Services
:
Minutes:
The
Committee gave consideration to a report providing an update on the Roads and
Infrastructure Services operational capital and revenue matters in the Mid
Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands area.
Discussion
took place in respect of ongoing works on the A83, particularly the stretch
between Kennacraig and Campbeltown;
the additional funding secured through the Strategic Timber Transport Fund
(STTF) and specifically the works being carried out on the B842; the winter
gritting policy and the possibility of securing snow wardens in a similar
programme to that of the Ayrshire Roads Alliance. The Network Standards Manager agreed to
provide information and clarity on the matters raised in due course.
A
number of long standing queries were raised by members, these included the
flooding at Port Charlotte; signage issues at Skipness and the traffic
management plan for Campbeltown. Members agreed to liaise directly with Mr
O’Neill in respect of these matters.
Having
noted that flooding at the Carrick Cemetery in Tarbert had hindered access, Mr
O’Neill agreed to take this forward as a matter of urgency.
Decision:
The
Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Area Committee agreed to note the contents
of the report.
