A street dubbed a “death trap” by locals will be reviewed by the local authority after it took the decision to remove parking restrictions in Peterhead.
Aberdeenshire Council removed double yellow lines from Maiden Street about two months ago to increase town centre parking but have come under heavy criticism from townspeople who are now fearful that the road has become more dangerous as a result.
The council’s head of landscape services has now committed to review the street within the next six weeks.
Philip McKay said his service was still interested in hearing the views of local people who use the road.
He added: “Following the implementation of new traffic management measures in Peterhead, our road safety team will carry out a routine assessment of Maiden Street to see how well the measures are working in practice.
“In the meantime, we would welcome feedback from residents, who can call us on 03456 081205.”
Following the removal of the double yellow lines on Maiden Street, just seconds from a public car park which offers one hour of free parking, a single disabled parking space was created to the rear of Trinity Parish Church
