I have been contacted by many of my justifiably concerned constituents in East Kintyre about the shocking condition of local signage which has rotted through. There is also the dangerous state of a local salt bin which the roads department has filled recently but for some reason failed to notice the crumbling state of the receptacle.

I have raised both of these matters with our road's department and they have assured me that both problems will be rectified.
