On the agenda at the River CC meeting last
night were the dead elm trees at the corner of Cawdor Road and Balblair Road
Last night Tommy revealed that he had had a response from Network Rail. He said that they had informed him that they have put the job out to tender and once the job was accepted the trees would be taken down on both sides.
The Gurn spoke to Tommy later and he said
that he was under the impression that both sides meant up the town side of the
railway property on the station brae too. This would be the trees behind the station
sign on the right hand side of the road in the picture below.
its not the trees that are the hazard,its the stupid new layout that is dangerous,drivers coming from queenspark area simply do not slow down,or give way at junction,there will be a serious accident there,and the numptys that dreamt up this,should have a rethink

Those trees don't look very dead to me!
ReplyDeleteThe dead ones on the junction are certainly a hazard narook.
ReplyDeleteok,graisg.
ReplyDeletepoint taken
apologies
narook.
cheers narook, tell you what though have still not heard anyone with a positive opinion about the new road layout :-)
ReplyDeleteWell you have now. With an astronomical amount of money required for a new bridge it's the most appropriate solution given the width of the road. You cannot legislate for bad drivers who don't obey road signs. It's like all he idiots that don't know how to use the yellow boxes. They are so stupid they don't realise you can drive into the box if their exit is clear. Another reason there are hold ups in the town,
ReplyDeleteWell Sensible driver the I have lived in Nairn all of my life and the only accident's at the bridge to my knowledge was after the hazards were installed and as for the volume of traffic have you ever gone under the bridge leading in to the Longman with no pavement and narrow plus leave crossing there is probably more traffic goes through that bridge in one hour than all day goes under the bridge no need for a new one just return it to as it was. And if you want to alter any thing alter the junction onto Balblair road by wilding the road into it by by removing part of the enbankment at the Council yard
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much of the concern was leaf-fall direct onto the roads.
