The council has tweaked its plans to allow residents, who claimed the para-cycling time trials at the upcoming UCI Cycling World Championships would “lock down Dumfries”, to access their street by car through a supermarket carpark cycling
In an email to one resident, a member of the council’s engagement team said: “We have made arrangements with Tesco to temporarily remove the bollards at the emergency vehicle access point to allow residents to their properties and also patients with mobility issues to drive closer to the doctor’s surgery. Access to Summerville Crescent will be via Tesco car park.”
“First of all I want to point out that I am all for these events coming to Dumfries. But give us reasonable solutions for getting around while it’s on. The restrictions that will be placed on us as residents for the duration of it are unacceptable, impractical, and ridiculous,” she said at the time. “When I challenged them on how we get to work, visit elderly relatives, or do the shopping, the comment I got back was that you can walk. Or I can park my vehicle in Tesco’s car park.”
While those in Summerville Crescent have gained some concessions from the council, residents in Barnhill will still be blocked from using their cars between 9.15am and 6pm – with a half an hour window available to drive at lunchtime – on 9 and 10 August.that’s been live since routes were announced on May 16, and we’ve been running engagement sessions every day this week, as well as some last week. We have also been visiting businesses located on the routes and will continue to do so.
