Did the council have a job lot of yellow paint to get rid of

Hmmm. I'm guessing this only goes as far down as the junction with Aquilibrium Avenue and road users at the bottom of Longrow will still have to struggle with selfish and thoughtless parking around the junction with Main Street. Furthermore, I'm guessing a shiny new large car park has not been provided to compensate for the loss of parking capacity caused by these stripes. Welcome to the Renewables Hub where the Turbine Tower is King!

Getting a bit ridiculous this lot.

Now where do the members and visitors to the Argyll Bowling club park now?

Accident waiting to happen at the junction Lochend/Longrow with no road markings as seen yesterday.

My driving is pretty bad without all that, don't worry guys, you're all safe, I'll not be driving there for a while

This was all part of the proposals (unfortunately) on display at a number of times at public events and also on the Council website (though how anyone is to find it is another question). Quite sure something on the proposals on here.

I thought the no parking on Millknowe was only at times when turbines etc were being transported but I would assume a double yellow line is a double yellow line and means no parking at any time. (?) Does highlight a point about people who did park in this area and the bowling club for example. Proposals on Kinloch Road have significantly reduced the car parking space there too. I'm sure these very points were raised at the various meetings. Nice to see someone listened!

Funny how they can find the time and money to do this yet still have not painted white centre road lines on the (thinly) resurfaced sections of the A83, let alone the badly degraded untreated sections. Days are shortening and it is already hard to determine the centre line in the face of oncoming traffic.

Now where do the members and visitors to the Argyll Bowling club park now?

They will be able to park on the single yellow line, unless it is within the restricted times which should/will be displayed.

I know there are some drivers who are happy that they have put double yellow lines down one side of the road as members/visitors of said club have not shown any consideration for other road users when they decide to park on both sides of the road.

Parking in town centre's, that's a

The Park and Ride is coming to Campbeltown sooner than you think ! Keep the cars out of the town centre and use public transport.... Cut's down on emissions also I hear.... The Council's are all for this nowadays...

They should have kept these double yellows going to the end of Longrow South and then continued onto the Main Street....

Not many shops left open now anyway.... Oh.... and I hear Pay and Display is also En Route !....

Parking and paid parking was discussed on a previous topic a few years ago. Should and if the council go down this route then goodbye to any shops or businesses that are presently still operating. The wee toon needs to do all it can to attract visitors and locals, not drive or keep them away.

What might be called "casual" parking in the town centre - people looking to pop into a shop for five minutes (not the chemist's obviously) - is becoming more and more difficult, and not just because of new restrictions. Ever since they moved the Council's offices into the old library parking spaces along Hall Street are harder to get; the shifting of the centre line on Kinloch Road will remove the parking spaces outside Aqualibrium; the 'nibs' at the crossing on Main Street removed parking space. Maybe it's time to have a good hard think about how we should manage parking in the town centre. Having said that, I wish they'd use some of their yellow paint at the Town Hall: why can't the taxi rank not be restricted to the kerbside at its main door? Having a taxi parked at the foot of the tower obstructs the flow down Main Street, especially when you have to allow space for the drivers standing blethering around the car that's parked furthest out.

Those lines are a true work of art, but.... is there a dip by the building or do the lines really veer towards the curb ?

But surely the Longrow at that point is wide enough to get 2 vehicles passing each other even with cars parked on each side?
It looks (to my jaundiced anti-wind view) that this is all for the "long term" passing of wind towers (well at least as long term until the subsidies run out). I accept I make this statement with only the "knowledge" of what i see on the web, but everything seems to be getting geared towards big lorries going to the harbour, and keep the peasants out of the way.

I have mentioned this before, but why does all traffic need to use the new Aqua Ave. What's wrong with leaving the traffic flow as it is now and leave Aqua Ave for turbines as and when. Job done.

[WC1]

Too sensible!

[erchiepeenkles]

This just proves a point that nobody in this town likes a change. Okay the place is full of yellow lines, but in a few months time everyone will be used to it.
