With regard to the two new Argyll and Bute Council tra c orders, I did use the word ‘shambles’ (Martin Laing’s At Random, e Oban Times, July 19) but this was more about their on-going implementation. When the tra c orders were proposed more than a year ago, objections and comments were invited. I was one of a number of people who took the opportunity to do so and strongly expressed the view that the orders would cause more problems than they were meant to avoid.
In reality, any person with a wee bit of common sense could have predicted what is now happening.
Unsurprisingly, our views were swept under the carpet, with only two thoughtful councillors voting for a continuation.
