Non-residents could be banned from parking on Station Road in Old Kilpatrick WALKERS heading for the Kilpatrick Hills may be banned from leaving their cars on residential streets in Old Kilpatrick. The move comes after a motion at the full council last week where one councillor called the issue ‘an accident waiting to happen’. West Dunbartonshire councillors have been urged to find a parking strategy for those who like to make the most of the countryside, without disrupting the village’s residents. At last Wednesday’s full council meeting, a motion was presented calling for measures to prevent hill walkers parking on residential streets.

Joyce White, pictured, called in votes by the planning committee over Sheephill Quarry warning it could cost the council more than £2.4 million if the company challenged the local authority in court. For more than five hours councillors heard the same arguments as the committee in a meeting just weeks earlier, but a majority argued the original decision should be upheld. The debate was just the latest twist in a mess of 70 years in the making.
