At the latest East Kintyre community council meeting justifiable concerns about dirt covered council road signs both in Carradale and across the Kintyre Peninsula were raised yet again.

While road repairs and winter maintenance including gritting must always take priority, our road signs must not be left in this poor state.

From the Islands and across Kintyre I have received complaints from concerned constituents and I have personally seen just how dirt covered our signs are becoming while travelling around every corner of my council ward.

I have raised this matter with the appropriate department and hope for an acceptable and timely response which will lead to action being taken.

Cllr Alastair Redman
