Birnam’s blind junction
I am writing to you about my concerns with the junction at the bottom of Station Road. I stay at the top of Station Road and use the junction daily as do the rest of my family. The amount of times we drive down the road to be faced by vehicles parked at the junction blocking the left hand lane – you then have to sit in middle of the road to get past and you have difficulty to see the traffic. If the junction is busy then you have people turning up the road who can’t get in because you are in the middle of the junction. The large tarred pavement area seems to be handy for some people to park on, making your visibility even worse.
To me they have constructed a very unsafe area but of course it has a lot to do with the inconsiderate people who park there.

I think that it’s now down to illegal parking and that the police could be doing a better job of serving our community in enforcing the law. It is illegal to park on double yellow lines, junctions, and pedestrian crossings, so it seems to me that the traffic police would have a field day if they actually turned up and took notice of what’s happening here. Maybe contact Councillor Alasdair Wiley and see what he can do?
What do you think?
