At the recent City of Dunfermline Area Committee, it was revealed by Transportation that they plan to put in parking bays along Sandpiper Drive as well as parking restrictions along some of the road. After receiving concerns for a number of years about the safety of lorries parking along the road, Liberal Democrat Councillor James Calder has welcomed this.

James Calder said,

Many residents have got in touch with me about the safety issues of lorries parking along Sandpiper Drive and I share these worries.

It is fast area of road and it will get much busier with the new school in place.

I know that the plans put forward by Transportation include parking restrictions for some of the road, but I am pleased they are looking to change the road layout so that there will be parking bays for the areas that have no parking restrictions.

This should make the road much safer for all.
