8.0 Tyninghame, Whitekirk and Markle issues
Tyninghame:-
Cllr Kempson wrote to Peter Forsyth, ELC regarding speeding in Tyninghame. Discussed more rumble strips and speed bumps, majority of residents appear to be keen, but Peter Forsyth, ELC was not keen for various reasons. Look at advantages/disadvantages. These could be a meter short at the end of the road, to help cyclists. Current rumble strips to be refreshed when yellow line wagon is next in the area. Keith Scott, ELC encouraged community to apply to DELAP for speed reactive sign and 3 sockets for Tyninghame, ELC to maintain. Still affected by noise of motorcycle racing ñ police to do speed checks in area, these have already been done but there wasnít a lot of traffic in the area at the time.
