Pavement widening works planned for Countess Road, Dunbar

Works to permanently widen the pavement to the west of the pedestrian crossing on Countess Road, Dunbar will be carried out in the week beginning 14 February during the school holidays, weather permitting.

Cllr John McMillan, Economic Development and Transportation spokesperson said: “The Spaces for People programme in 2020 funded temporary measures to create additional room for social distancing in our towns. As the pandemic recedes, we are learning from our experiences of how public spaces were used over the last few years and we are considering which of these provided sufficient benefit to make permanent.

“One such scheme was the widening of footways along Countess Road in Dunbar to make space for children going to school. The online consultation in November last year found that 81% of respondents were in favour of keeping or enhancing the section the west of the crossing and 80% supported keeping or extending the one to the east. However it is recognised that the bolt-down bollards currently in place on the eastern side have caused some difficulties for firefighters accessing the station and these will be removed until an appropriate permanent scheme can be designed.
