Progress Update - Jan 23
Traffic Calming
- Signs - we are continuing to work with Wester-ross Biosphere around the provision of new signs for Garve. Still waiting to hear from Transport Scotland in order to progress this work. Cllr Kraft is working with the Wyvis Natural Playpark Group and hopes to have a sign installed at the entrance to Garve village to direct traffic away from the village and to the correct route for accessing the playpark.
- Traffic Calming Page- the page is still available for reporting traffic incidents as a resource to secure traffic calming measures.
