Just wait till around October when the A82 will need to be closed due to the construction of Gruggie’s Burn flood relief mitigation works.
This work is long long overdue and desperately needed as flooded householders know only too well at their cost.
Whether there is a way that can reduce the need for the horror of closure but one would hope the Council phase the particular section of works until after the hugely overbudget Milton relief road is completed.
Maybe the Council could update residents so that they are fully aware.
