TEMPORARY safety bollards preventing drivers from parking on a death trap road have been removed once again.

The safety measures were in put in place after the tragic death of three-year-old Robyn Knox in August.

Robyn was killed after she was knocked down by a car on Main Street in Townhill.

The bollards were first put in place in September before more permanent traffic measures are imposed, with parking set to be prohibited in front of the shop and the public path widened.

Just days after the new traffic regulation order was passed by councillors, the bollards were removed by those unhappy with the decision.

Unbelievably, locals found them moved again last Monday (January 11).

Robyn's family, posting on the 'Remembering Robyn' page on Facebook said: "Genuinely absolutely disgusted that these bollards have been moved ... AGAIN! Is it going to take another child to lose their life? Fuming! These are in place until a more permanent fixture is in place. Remember our baby lost her life here."

Councillor Gavin Ellis, who represents Dunfermline North, has asked those with information to contact him and is urging Fife Council to move work forward to bring in permanent measures.

He told the Press: "It is an offence to remove these bollards under the roads act, they are in place there under an order.

"I'm looking to do a visit in the area with community police to engage more on this.

"I know the decision was never going to be popular with everyone but a girl lost her life there.

"People have complained about access for disabled people but those with blue badges can park on double yellow lines on Loch Street. The parking bays are only going to move further away too.

"The changes are happening and unfortunately not everyone is satisfied.

"If changes need to be made in the future then of course councillors will listen to this."

Cllr Ellis added: "When you come into Townhill, the current parking bays obscure the crossing.

"At the end of the day, a young child lost their life and it's incumbent on us to do something.

"The decision was taken on the evidence given by Police Scotland and other authorities and it went through by unanimous vote at the area committee."

It's hoped that funding for the fixed barriers will be secured by the end of the month.

Police have also been clamping down on drivers who are parking on zigzag lines in the area by serving fixed notices.

Inspector Jill Moss, of Dunfermline Police Station, said : "We have been working closely with the community council and have been engaging with businesses in the area. We are currently not aware of the issues with the temporary bollards but this will be raised by officers at a meeting this coming weekend."
