MANY Troon residents are up in arms about the new cycle path which will link Troon train station with Loans.

The project is being carried out by Ayrshire Roads Alliance with Sweco Landscape Architects designing it.

And the first phase of it along Harling Drive has attracted much negative comment, although also positive feedback.

John Moffat said: “Harling Drive an accident waiting to happen.”

Lorrraine Rodden said: “It’s awful! What on earth were they thinking?”

And Bruce W Gaw added: “It’s an utter waste of tax payers’ money.”

Added Ian Gourlay: “Council budgets reduced, no doubt a council tax increase on the way, so they spend thousands on this vanity project. Priorities all wrong!”

Diane Ferguson said: “Saw a Luton van struggle past a car on the bend last night, what hope does a lorry have? Its an absolute joke, and where’s it leading?”

By contrast Garry Davidson said: “I think it’s a good addition the cycle path.

“I’m in the camp of good to see something happening.”
