Thanks for telling us!

When: 19 February 2018 to 23 February 2018
Exact location: TR A90 at Lakeview House to U19B at Cherry Cottage 
Details: Carriageway Repairs 
Diversion: TR A90 to B9033 near Greenburn, B9033 to C17B at Gowanfold Crossroads and C17B to U19B 
PDF map: Diversion and closure map - C17B Cortes - Inverallochy Road (PDF 768KB)

A sign has appeared by our house.  Saying the road will be closed from Monday to Friday this week.  It appeared on Friday.  No chance of contacting anyone at the Cooncil by the time I saw it.  Am I to be marooned?  Unable to get out.  Would you not have thought a letter to us and other occupiers affected, there arent that many of us.  What about the farmers getting out , Postie getting in and Dustbins being emptied.  Totally gobsmacked.  Our road is mostly single track with passing places.  I have not noticed any major issues, unlike most of the main roads and town centres with huge damaging pot holes.  Why us?  Its about 1 and a half miles long the road.  We are Cherry Cottage by the way.  I have logs being delivered and possibly need an oil tank delivery when the DP checks the tank.  

Just beggars belief.

Sorry, I had to rant.  An old aerial photo of the road.

You would think a letter or even better someone coming to your door from the council or whoever is responsible to tell you this is going on. Definitely need more than a day or two notice, I would say a month at least. When we have upcoming construction on our highway, only way in and out, the signs are put up months in advance.

Forgot to say good luck with the work. Hopefully there will be some local access only for you at the very least and they are quick with their work.
