I have been contacted in recent
weeks by residents of Clearwater Park regarding the grass verges in Linlathen
Road, which are maintained by the council.
There are no properly surfaced areas
there for people to cross between Clearwater Park and Ferryfields, which
results in them having to walk through the nearly always wet grass. The grass
has to be kept to a certain height for the swales that are in operation there.
The
funding for cycling, walking and safer streets projects is fully committed for this
year so it is likely to be the next financial before anything is in place. I
will push for early implementation of any solution and ask that local residents
have input into where the crossing point should be located.
