Slow chance

I note from your report (22 September) that Maybole is to have a 20mph speed limit in an effort to improve road 
safety. Perhaps Transport Scotland would be good enough to tell us how they plan to facilitate this phenomenal increase in speed. I can’t remember the last time I managed more than 10mph in Maybole.

The problem is not speed, it is a bottleneck caused by delivery vehicles unloading at stores in the High Street. The only solution to this is a bypass which we are told is going through the planning process. It has already been in planning for 40 years and we are still waiting.
