Plans are in place to make cycle-friendly streets in Netherthird.

A school street initiative started around the new primary when it opened back in February 2023.

The initiative aims to reduce traffic around schools in the morning and afternoon.

Roads around the school are closed from 8.40am to 9.05am and again from 2.45pm to 3.15pm during the school term.

Currently, cars cannot enter the following roads during the above times: 

  • James Young Avenue: For its full extents
  • Craigens Road: From Netherthird Community Centre car park to the junction with Holmburn Road
  • Blackfaulds Road: From the junction with Craigens Road to the junction with Lamot Crescent

Now, according to an East Ayrshire Council notice on the Tell Me Scotland website, a slight change will these areas become cycle-friendly during the closure times.

The change is set to come into effect from Monday, April 29.
