Recently you did some repairs to the road from holystone to otter burn ranges, you took away the fencing to the side of the road, and cut down the foliage, they acted as a road safety barrier, as there us a very steep slope down to the river from the side of the road, clearly if anyone came off the road at this point, it would likely result in a fatality. There is now nothing to act as a barrier to protect in the event that a vehicle comes off the road, as it is single track with no lay byes, has bends, and is often ungritted in inclement weather there is quite a possibility this could occur, I have to drive it daily as I live nearby, and I am shocked that you would leave this in such a precarious way. Please contact me to discuss
