I will be attending a second meeting between the City Council, Robert Gordon University, and community representatives to discuss the future of the Garthdee Controlled Parking Zone on Friday 10th May.

The April police report for Braeside and Mannofield is now available. Issues covered include theft, antisocial behaviour, dirt bikes on local roads, and road safety.

Council staff have told me they are currently getting prices for the specialised work needed to repair or replace the badly damaged gates of Springbank Cemetery on Springfield Road.

I met with representatives of Garthdee Community Council, Robert Gordon University, and the City Council on Thursday 18th April to discuss the future of the Garthdee Controlled Parking Zone.

I have urged Council staff to properly reinstate the grass verges on the western side of South Anderson Drive. The grass verges are in a terrible state after ducting was laid.

The future of the Garthdee Controlled Parking Zone is in doubt after Robert Gordon University told the City Council it would not pay the cost of administering the CPZ when the current arrangement ends. Many Garthdee residents have told me how angry they are by the University’s announcement.

Work to complete the upgrade of Rutrieston Sports Centre off Pitstruan Place continues with some snagging work and painting still to be finished.

The March police report for Garthdee is now available. Issues covered include theft, road safety, and information for residents.

The current restrictions on Garthdee Road between the Garthdee roundabout and the entrance to Boots / Currys are set to continue until Friday 26th April. The road is reduced to one lane in each direction.

The A92 Stonehaven Road will be closed between the Bridge of Dee and the Charleston flyover from Monday 8th April to Friday 19th April for road repairs. The closure includes the Bridge of Dee roundabout.
