Community councillors and members of the public raised concerns that the Argyll Road crash — believed to have happened at around rush hour on Tuesday, March 10 when two cars collided at a sharp bend — was caused by poor visibility due to overgrown foliage on the grass verge. Speaking to the Advertiser this week, a spokesman for Argyll and Bute Council said: “I can advise that the necessary sight line cutting work has now been completed.” Former councillor Danny Kelly said: “The problem is cars are parked on Argyll Road and the council are not cutting back on the growth on the top side of the road. “There’s a lot of bushes right around the top side of the road. It has been brought up at the community council and other people have complained about it regularly.” He added: “There’s quite a lot of traffic on that road but the big problem is there’s quite often three cars parked on the side of the road creating a blind spot. People have said there’s going to be a head on smash here.” Derek Fowlis, a local taxi driver, took a photograph of one of the cars involved in the crash after being informed about the incident. He said: “I’m a member of the community council and we’ve been at the council for quite a while about cutting the bushes back. “I’d seen the car and I thought I would take a picture for the community council. “It’s all been cut back now since the crash happened but that was under pressure from councillors to get it done. “We had been asking since October and I think it’s pretty poor on the council’s part.” Lomond North councillor Maurice Corry praised the action the council has taken. He said: “I’m pleased to note that this should alleviate the problem that drivers were facing and the council has done all it can to improve the sight lines. “Obviously the council wishes to ensure that drivers are safe when driving on this road and the council will be keeping a watching brief on this.”
