Moved by Councillor Ellen Morton, seconded by Councillor Barbara Morgan Amendment The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee notes the contents of the report and the officer’s recommendation relating to the traffic management and parking review at Luss. The Area Committee also notes the significant number of objections that have been submitted and sustained against the draft Traffic Regulation Order (TROs). The Area Committee confirms that it wishes to work with the Luss community in finding an acceptable solution to the ongoing traffic problems within the village and does not want to impose a scheme on the community that has virtually no support from within the community. Given the above, the Area Committee agrees: (a) To accept Option 1 within the report to do nothing at this time, which reflects the strength of feeling and the significant number of objections to the Council’s draft proposals. (b) That officers and Ward Councillors should arrange to meet with Luss and Arden Community Council with a view to agreeing those aspects within the TROs that are acceptable to the community and that can be progressed at an early date and any other proposals that are considered to be beneficial to the community. Moved by Councillor George Freeman, seconded by Councillor Lorna Douglas Councillor Trail asked if additional wording could be inserted into the terms of the motion as follows: “To arrange for the erection of appropriate advisory signage at the entrance to the residential areas of the village to discourage traffic from entering this area”. Councillor Ellen Morton with the consent of her seconder Councillor Morgan, agreed that this wording be inserted and the amended version became the substantive motion. Decision On a show of hands vote the Motion was carried by 7 votes to 3 and the Committee resolved as follows:- 1.The Helensburgh and Lomond Area Committee notes:
