Call for action of weeds in street gutters and pavements
by Ian Yuill on 11 July, 2019
Earlier this month I urged the council to treat weeds growing in street gutters and on pavements across our area. I took this action after being contacted by concerned residents.
If left untreated, these weeds can damage pavement and road surfaces.
Council staff have now confirmed to me that these weeds should be treated within the next three weeks.

You should have a look at weeds at Gaitside shop and shops at Garthdee drive it looks very bad
Once again we have weeds about two feet tall growing round the base of the new trees in the lower part of Gray Street as well as weeds growing in the gutters. The worst mess are the weeds growing up the embankment leading to the Old Deeside line at the foot of Gray Street. With dock weeds around 3 feet tall and all the long grass, it really looks like a jungle. It is an absolute disgrace. Tell the Council to forget the millions they are going to spend on Union Terrace Gardens and get our city cleaned up first. There won’t be any Britain in Bloom prizes coming to Aberdeen this year.
I’ve noticed also that the drains on Holburn Road are complete blocked with debris, certainly the one on the opposite side of the street to the Beauty Fountain, and the one on the corner of Holburn Road and Irvine Place.
And there are still patches of orange cable showing on the road surface in Holburn Road, the part from Irvine Place to Great Western Road.
I have reported the blocked street drain gullies today.
I reported the exposed cables about two weeks ago. I have received a reply from council staff saying they will make a repair.
I’ve just returned home from holiday and the first thing we noticed when turned onto Abergeldie Road was the size of the weeds growing out of the gutters!!!
The weeds in the gutters of Abergele Road, and other roads in our area, should be treated within the next two or three weeks.
