Comments on: Lade Braes: Council ignores residents’ safety concerns http://standrewsqv.org.uk/2020/07/lade-braes-council-ignores-residents-safety-concerns/ Examining the facts behind the issues Mon, 03 Aug 2020 08:47:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: St Andrews Q.V. http://standrewsqv.org.uk/2020/07/lade-braes-council-ignores-residents-safety-concerns/#comment-447 Sun, 05 Jul 2020 18:06:57 +0000 https://standrewsqv.org.uk/?p=2563#comment-447 Mr Marks frustration at the delay is understandable but he fails to address the issue of safety, which applies whoever is using the path. And then there is inadequate consultation by Fife Council.

Cyclists who use the Lade Braes are usually local residents especially those with young children who will not risk the dangers of Hepburn Gardens. Long distance cyclists are unlikely to deviate from the main route into town in my experience. CSARA have I believe proposed an alternative cycle route on the other side of the Kinnes Burn which is quite unrealistic for a range of reasons.

The Kinnes Burn Path desperately needs upgrading. This whole saga has been going on for at least 2 years and many pedestrian users will not be happy that CSARAs intervention might lead to a further delay.
