The Roads Service has agreed to fill potholes and repair broken areas in streets in our area after I highlighted problems and urged that action was taken.

The roads where repairs have been made, or will shortly be carried out, include:

• Airyhall Drive
• Broomhill Avenue
• Cranford Road
• Devenick Place
• Gordon Road
• Holburn Road
• Inchbrae Terrace
• Kaimhill Gardens
• Morningside Place
• Nellfield Place
• Ruthrieston Road

Whilst this is welcome, all-too-often when potholes and broken areas are filled they reappear within a few months – sometimes sooner.

The only long-term solution to Aberdeen’s crumbling roads and pavements is for the council to invest more in properly repairing and resurfacing roads and pavements. Sadly, year-after-year, the Conservative, Labour and Independent councillors who control Aberdeen City Council have rejected Liberal Democrat proposals for extra investment in road repairs and resurfacing.

My Liberal Democrat colleagues and I will continue making the case for extra investment in properly repairing and resurfacing roads and pavements in our city.
