Ms Mackay tweeted this morning: “Looking forward to being on the John Beattie show this afternoon, talking about the shared space disaster in Kirkintilloch!”
Thousands of local people have been protesting against the shared space, especially the removal of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings from the busy Catherine Street/Kerr Street junction in the town.
There is particular concern for the safety of disabled people and the elderly.
