ARA                                  A meeting took place between ARA, Cllr Kilpatrick and Residents of Hillfoot Road to raise

                                          concerns about speeding vehicles on Hillfoot Road.  Traffic monitored over a seven day

                            period showed the average speed to be 31MPH.  As such and because the road is a main bus

              route it is not deemed suitable for traffic calming measures to be introduced.   Traffic Police

                                           handed out three warnings to motorists on Hillfoot Road recently, (a warning is issued if a car

is being driven over 30MPH but under 35MPH within a 30MPH zone).   Traffic police will monitor speeds on Hillfoot Road over a period of six weeks. Dates for this have to be decided.  ARA will come along to a future meeting to discuss the outcome.
