There was mixed news for our area after Aberdeen City Council published the list of roads and pavements it proposes to resurface over the next 12 months.

I am pleased that the following roads in our area are proposed for resurfacing:

• Salisbury Terrace
• Thorngrove Avenue
• Deeside Park

Pavements on the following roads are proposed for resurfacing:

• part of Kaimhill Circle
• the east side of Craigielea Avenue

Whilst this is good news I am very disappointed and annoyed that no action has been proposed for other broken and uneven roads and pavements in our area. Amongst the worst of these are:

• Inchbae Drive – which urgently needs resurfacing
• Cranford Road – which is crumbling more every day
• Wellbrae Terrace – the pavement on the even-numbered side is very uneven

The only long-term solution to the problem of Aberdeen’s crumbling roads and pavements is for the council to invest more in resurfacing and making proper repairs. My Liberal Democrat colleagues and I will continue to make the case for this essential investment to be made.

You can view the full list of roads and pavements proposed for resurfacing here.

Final approval for these proposals is due to be given at a meeting of the council’s City Growth and Resources Committee on Thursday 25th April.
