News Release – Mannofield councillor welcomes Great Western Road action

by Ian Yuill on 15 April, 2010

Mannofield councillor Ian Yuill has welcomed the move by Aberdeen City Council begin work on Monday 19th April to properly repair a stretch of Great Western Road near Mannofield Church.“I’m delighted work is set to start on Monday” said Ian Yuill. “I have been urging the council to resurface this stretch of Great Western Road for some time – it desperately needs proper rerpair.”

Ian Yuill continued “The surface of Great Western Road has completely disintegrated here. Several layers of the road have broken up. It is rutted and potholed.

“It looks more like the surface of the Moon than one of our city’s major roads.

“Drivers are swerving to avoid the biggest holes and that could lead to accidents. Even at low speeds, driving across this stretch of road makes everything in your car, including your teeth, rattle. Pedestrians are also tripping crossing the road, it is so uneven.

“Although the resurfacing work will cause some disruption to traffic, it will be worth it to get the road surface properly repaired.”
