Aberfoyle group didn’t reply: DRD

Mr Kennedy said the group had been asked by officials to provide feedback on the proposed extension of the scheme.

He stated: “Details of a Traffic Management proposal in relation to this matter, including a one-way system and waiting restrictions, were forwarded to the Aberfoyle Residents Association in February 2012 to initiate consultation and gauge resident support, or otherwise, for the scheme.

“The Residents Association responded in October 2012 to my Department’s Roads Service, however, it was noted the consultation that had been carried out did not include some areas of Aberfoyle Crescent and Dill Park.”

However, between then and now no further feedback had been received by Roads Service, although one resident from Aberfoyle Crescent said they would not be in support of the scheme.

“At that time, Roads Service officials advised the Residents Association to engage with the residents of those areas not included in the initial consultation, thus allowing Roads Service to determine the merits, or otherwise, of beginning the lengthy legislative process required to implement the scheme,” he stated.

“To date, no further feedback has been received from the Residents Association. Roads Service has received correspondence from one resident of Aberfoyle Crescent who has stated they would not be in support of the scheme,” he added.
