February 26, 2013 12:00 pmtoMay 17, 2013 1:00 pm

East Lothian Council is recommending modifications to the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) for Dunbar to reflect current parking behaviour and road use by residents and businesses. A formal consultation letter has been sent out to statutory consultees. The Council would also like to gather the views of others with an interest in this issue. Consultation respondents may wish to take the following into account :

  • The positioning of goods loading bays
  • The location of disabled parking bays
  • The length of time of stay (in relation to parking)
  • The no return period (in relation to parking)
  • The location of the taxi rank

Runs from 26 Feb 2013 and ends 17 May 2013

There are plans to collect food waste too, so the Council wants to know how to shape waste and recycling collection services.

The survey is in your Recycling Guide, being delivered to households recently.
