Council just state its a trial period, they will be monitoring the traffic flow from Balhousie St and Dunkeld Rd to see if theres any issues. Local residents are baffled by the decision, just seems the council are "cutting off" the shortcut between the roads without any given reason. After this trial period it will then be decided whether to make the closure permanent or not. Residents of Kestrel Way etc are quite rightly concerned as this will potentially increase the traffic flow through their area
