Kinloch Park

Following my raising constituents’ concerns about the extent of cars parking close to the junction of Ninewells Avenue and Kinloch Park, the City Council has promised me that it will take action to act on the road safety implications.

It is often very difficult for the residents of Kinloch Park to be able to exit safely onto Ninewells Avenue and I asked the Council if the yellow lines near the junction could be slightly extended to keep cars away from the junction.

I am pleased to say that the Council recognises the problem and has agreed to promote an order to extend the yellow lines on one side by around 5 metres. This will take place at the next waiting restrictions review in the city.

Ninewells Avenue, being very close to Ninewells Hospital is regularly full of parked vehicles and it is important that residents in Kinloch Park should be able to enter and exit their street safely.
