I welcome this contract for the surfacing of the car park at Gillies Park. Many Barnhill residents have complained to me about the potholes and mud in the car park so I am sure they will welcome this upgrade.
It will also help parents and carers dropping off and picking up their children from Barnhill Primary School. The Nursery and P1 classes located in the new extension to the school are easily accessed from Gillies Park.
There will also be improvements to the lighting which should help all park users feel more confident about walking through the park at night time.
I have been assured that the work will be carried out before the end of March so thankfully folk won't have to endure the potholes much longer.
