  • The purpose of this Technical Note is to provide Elected Members with an update on the A807 Active Travel Corridor project (‘the Project’), specifically works which have been completed on correcting identified defects within Section 1a
  • Construction works on Section 1a of the project on Auchenhowie Road were completed in April 2025
  • The works, funded by Tier 1 and Tier 2 of Transport Scotland’s Active Travel Infrastructure Fund, included widening the existing footway by utilising the existing grass verge, replacing the existing kerbing along the front of the footway, and junction improvements at Dowan Road including the installation of street lighting
  • There was a 12-month defects period for the project which provided the Council’s contractor, Luddon Construction Limited, additional time to correct a small number of defects which had been identified at the time of the construction works being completed
  • The defects, which included footway cracking repairs, electrical testing and kerbing replacements, have now all been corrected and accepted, finishing this phase of the project
  • As per previous Technical Note (133-25), work is ongoing to deliver detailed designs for remaining sections of the project
  • Officers will continue to provide any further updates via Technical Notes, when required.
