1 Blair Watt From: Blair Watt Sent: 13 July 2023 08:55 To: gilliankeracher@icloud.com Cc: Bridget Mitchell; Daryl McKeown Subject: RE: Restricted roads no 202X Dear Gillian, Thank you for your comments regarding the proposed 30mph Speed Limit amendments in Kinloch and please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in responding you. It is proposed to amend the speed limit to 30mph to improve compliance. Given the road width, alignment and the limited frontage development at Kinloch, we do not believe that the 20mph is the most appropriate speed restricƟons. Seƫng the speed limit unrealisƟcally low in Kinloch has led to poor compliance. If vehicle speeds come down, or there is further development in Kinloch, we can consider lowering the speed limit further. Can you please confirm if you wish to withdraw or maintain your objecƟon to the Traffic RegulaƟon Order by Friday 21 July 2023 ? If you maintain your objecƟon, we are required to report to the appropriate Council CommiƩee to seek a decision on how to proceed. If you require any further informaƟon, please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind Regards Blair WaƩ | Project Officer Road Safety | Traffic and Network | Housing and Environment Perth & Kinross Council, Pullar House, 35 Kinnoull Street, Perth, PH1 5GD Phone: 01738 476944 Mobile: 07827 357105 Email: bwaƩ@pkc.gov.uk -----Original Message----- From: CDS Legal Sevices <LegalServices@pkc.gov.uk> Sent: Monday, June 12, 2023 11:08 AM To: Blair WaƩ <BWaƩ@pkc.gov.uk> Cc: Faye Wilson <FWilson@pkc.gov.uk> Subject: FW: Restricted roads no 202X Hi Blair, this came into our generic email - I understand you would deal with these.

2 As a resident of Marlee loch residenƟal park ,Kinloch, ( where there are over 100 elderly residents)I would like to formally complain about the proposed 30 mph speed limit,, it’s at 20 mph just now and it does nothing to keep vehicles from speeding ,, there is no path for pedestrians walking/cycling into town and only 2 buses per day ,, there are many blind corners ,, it’s very dangerous and frightening even with the 20 limit because very few drivers sƟck to it ,, if it was to rise to 30 then drivers will go even faster ,, I have had 2 of my cats run over on this road , 1 died and 1 had a leg amputated and I know I’m not the only person to lose a cat here,, I know of many others who don’t let their cats out because of it, We want more traffic calming here not raised speed limits, many residents are considering moving because of the dangerous road Regards Gillian Keracher 27 Marlee Gardens, Marlee loch residenƟal park,Kinloch, Blairgowrie ,PH106SD Sent from my iPhone
