East Dunbartonshire: new road closure issued in Bishopbriggs

Kenmure Avenue will be shut from its junction with Brackenbrae Road to its junction with Pollok Drive due to planned works.

The restrictions come into effect at 6am on Monday, January 26 and will last until 6pm on Monday, February 2.

East Dunbartonshire Council made the order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

Emergency service vehicles, vehicles engaged in the works, and those requiring access to nearby properties will be the only exceptions, provided it is safe and practical to do so.

East Dunbartonshire Council is also considering introducing a new traffic regulation order to designate parking places for vehicles displaying a disabled person’s badge.

This proposal could affect multiple roads across Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Kirkintilloch, Lennoxtown, Lenzie, Milngavie, Twechar and Waterside.

However, existing parking places on St Germains in Bearsden, Buchanan Crescent, Fern Grove, Fettercairn Gardens, Martyr’s Place and Westerhill Road in Bishopbriggs, Armour Gardens, Glenconner Way and Kirksyde Avenue in Kirkintilloch, Benvue Road in Lennoxtown, and Alexander Avenue in Twechar will be removed.

East Dunbartonshire Council has invited the public to inspect full details of the proposal, which are available for free in the Traffic Regulation Orders section of the council’s website.

Residents have until Monday, February 23, to submit objections or representations regarding the proposal.

These must be submitted by email to TROconsultation@eastdunbarton.gov.uk or in writing to East Dunbartonshire Council, stating the grounds for objection or representation.

Valid objections and representations will be reviewed before the council makes a final decision on the proposed traffic order.
