Zig Zag markings at Blackness Primary School

The Parent Council at Blackness Primary School has suggested zig zag yellow markings near the school to aid pupil safety.   At the last Parent Council meeting, I promised to find out a timescale from the City Council regarding the provision of such markings.

The City Council's Head of Transportation has now advised as follows :

"I refer to your email dated 25 May regarding road markings at Blackness Primary School.

The order for the lining work has been issued to Tayside Contracts as part of a very large volume of similar works. Progress on this type of work has been hampered by many similar requests for new and refreshing existing lines. These have suffered badly from the past two severe winters.  The lining crews have been further hampered by the need to remove a lot of loose grit spread during the winter whilst trying to keep the network open.

I would hope that these Zig Zags will be completed during the summer holiday period."
