NORTH ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS
I mentioned on this page earlier this year that I am aware of safety concerns on North Road, Cumbernauld - directly adjacent to St Maurice's High School. I know that there have been a number of accidents here over the past few years and that there are concerns both over the speed cars travel on this stretch of road and the current inadequate traffic calming.
This is something I have taken forward on a number of occasions in the past with North Lanarkshire Council and I am aware that they have plans for road safety improvements on this stretch of road, which will include a signalised crossing adjacent to St Maurice's High School.
The council’s Transportation Engineering team have told me that they hoped that work would start on site this week but that due to workload capacity issues with their contractor work is now programmed for February, with the most traffic sensitive elements programmed during the mid-term break.
