Following various complaints about the use of weed killer in the village to treat edges and paths, Ella and Cllr Davidson have contacted the grass cutting dept to to ask that this ceases.
Minimal use was required due to staffing levels during recent times to treat weeds etc but the way it has been applied in the village in not acceptable. Pictures sent by a resident to Cllr Davidson have been used to illustrate the issue. Hopefully we won’t see this happen again.

The C1040 public road which runs from the B862 to the C1064 road at Essich Meadows( part of the N78 National Cycle route ) has seen a massive increase in pedestrians and cyclists but still retains a 60 mph limit on most of it, ironically those parts that have no pavement and little or no verges.
The Dores and Essich Community Council would like to see a 20mph limit imposed under the Covid-19 Active Travel proposals to ensure safety.
As part of the current consultation on Covid-19 active travel plans the CC has made the following submission:
Suggestion:Improve shared use footpath/ cycleway forming part of route to school on B862 between Aldourie School and Dores village. Reduced width exacerbated owing to encroachment of vegetation, making passing involving social distancing difficult or impossible.
