Over the years I have requested
work to be done to improve the surface of the car park in Gillies Park which
always resulted in some infilling. There are again some very large holes present
however this time I have received some good news on more substantial action that
is to be taken.
Back in June the council’s School Parking and Pupil Safety
Working Group, of which I am a member, had a site visit to Barnhill Primary
School to look at traffic movements around the school entrances, it was
considered at that time that as the use of the car park at Gillies Park would
increase due to the new school extension it would be good to have it properly
surfaced. I was a meeting last week attended by the council’s chief
executive and head of transportation. I took the opportunity to speak to them
about the car park at Gillies Park and to get an update from them and I was
told that an estimate for the cost of resurfacing the car park had been sought
and the intention is to proceed with the works, weather dependant, early in the
New Year.
