After a series of planning and safety rows, a generations-old family attraction in Arbroath is finally ready to expand.
Angus Council^s development standards committee will convene on Tuesday to decide the fate of Kerr^s Miniature Railway, in Arbroath^s West Links, which has been waiting a decision on its vital expansion for over eight months.
John Kerr, the local attraction^s 18-year-old owner and grandson of the railway^s founder, applied to the council last year for permission to add nearly 250m of train track, two platforms and a new ticket booth, and says the 79-year-old family favourite may sink or swim based upon the council^s decision.
