A FORMER councillor has criticised Argyll and Bute Council for leaving a dangerous junction unmarked following a two-vehicle crash in Rosneath.

The complaint comes a week after an incident which saw a 43-year-old woman being taken to the Royal Alexandria Hospital in Paisley as a precautionary measure after a vehicle allegedly failed to comply with traffic signs on May 3.

A 32-year-old man was reported to the procurator fiscal for an alleged careless driving offence in connection with the incident.

The council installed a pelican crossing outside the Co-operative supermarket on Ferry Road last year after councillors and residents claimed the junction was unsafe.

Daniel Kelly, from Kilcreggan, told the Advertiser: “Before the markings for the crossing were laid down the road surface had to be re-tarred. Before then the junction was marked off by white lines. Since it was resurfaced it hasn’t been re-lined. It should have been done right away, especially at a junction that is so busy with children and people going to the shops as well as with road traffic, but it wasn’t done.”

A spokesperson for Argyll and Bute Council said: “Our contractors were instructed to carry out the lining of the road in late October last year, however only part of the work was completed. We instructed them again to carry out the remaining works on 13 December 2017. The work has since been completed this week.”
