This isn’t exactly a flood related post but it is important news for Freuchie next month.

Patrick Laughlin, Secretary of Freuchie Community Council, has sought clarification about the ongoing gas works currently underway in Freuchie. A Scottish Gas Networks spokesperson informed him of the following works:

Week commencing 19 Sept – traffic will not be allowed to enter East End from the A92 – all access to Freuchie from the A92 will be via the garden centre crossroads/Kettle Road. (That will be a good test for the traffic calming measures!!!)

Week commencing 26 Sept – this is more awkward for residents of Freuchie Mill Road and Freuchie Mill. There will be no vehicular access between Freuchie Mill Road and the A92 – meaning that residents will have to head east to the A914 for all their vehicular journeys.

The gas works will also take place on the A92 itself, at the Cross Keys crossroads, during this fortnight. But half of the road will remain open at all times..

Patrick further commented:

Scotland Gas Networks say they are in full and ongoing dialogue with both BEAR Scotland and Fife Council about these works and how they are signposted. All the agencies see the A92 closure at Eden Bridge as the ideal time to do the works at Cross Keys junction and you can understand their logic. Providing their signposting is good, the disruption should not be too great.

Please drive extra carefully and slowly at the traffic calming measures while these works are ongoing. Most of us will have had near misses or scary moments while negotiating the chicanes. Even Freuchie Primary School kids brought this up as an important issue at one of their recent annual presentations to Freuchie Community Council.
