The following information was posted on Facebook by D&G Councillor Andy McFarlane on Tuesday, 6th May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I met with officers from the council this morning at Kirkcudbright Bridge following many comments from people in the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We discussed options for improving safe access for pedestrians, cyclists, prams and mobility scooters as well as engagement with Police Scotland to prosecute where motorcyclists unlawfully cross the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bridge is closed to ALL motor vehicles, including motor cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I <\/a>put forward a number of options and they are looking at how these can be implemented within the regulations and without compromising safety or access controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I also raised the issue of the signage, requesting specifically \u2018Kirkcudbright is opened\u2019 or \u2018Kirkcudbright businesses open as normal\u2019 on the routes to the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I discussed the signs in the town and asked if they could be changed to \u2018Bridge on the right\/left closed\u2019 rather than \u2018Road\u2019 to encourage use of Bridge Street as an accessible route within the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I highlighted the issue of parking on the Merse side, not just at the bridge but on the verges and the estate and I was assured that these will be monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you think I or my fellow councillors can help further, we\u2019re working together to address issues raised so get in touch – Andy.mcfarlane@dumgal.gov.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following information was posted on Facebook by D&G Councillor Andy McFarlane on Tuesday, 6th May.
