Good Morning Mr Devine,
I  writing to you to show my disappointment that there is a review into the planning permission for
the community gardens at the top of waterside lane in Kilbarchan to be turned into a parking facility
for the garage in Tandlehill Road in Kilbarchan.
I am a resident at  Waterside lane, Kilbarchan and this parking facility would affect us greatly.
Waterside lane is a private lane and
my self and the 3 other houses in the lane maintain the lane.
When leaving the lane in our car it is already very unsafe to try and get out of the lane as there are
cars constantly parked at each side of the entrance and right across from the lane.
There is no pavement here at the top left of the lane and it is very dangerous for those walking from
Johnstone into Kilbarchan.
Car parking is a terrible problem for the residents in Cartside Terrace at the top of waterside lane-
additional cars would cause problems for these residents as well as waterside lane residents trying
to get out of the lane.
I would also point out that the fumes, petrol/diesel spillages and no doubt cars turning in our lane
would also cause problems.
We also have to pull our bins each week to the top of the lane for the bin lorry to empty them-
where would we put the bins now and how would the lorry turn?
Also - how would emergency services get into the lane if there are additional cars parked there?
What  an eyesore this garage facility/ car parking area would be for the main thorough fair into
Kilbarchan. We take great pride in our village and this would be a very unwelcoming site!
Please can you take all this into consideration when reviewing this application.
Kind Regards
Margaret McNeillie
