Shockingly, the saga of delays in installing cantilevered traffic lights above the pedestrian crossing on South Anderson Drive just uphill from the Broomhill Road roundabout continues.

I was very disappointed to be told by Council staff that the resurfacing of Nellfield Place which was due to begin later this month will not now take place until the New Year. 

After being contacted by a concerned resident, I have urged the Roads Service to level uneven paving slabs on the even-numbered side of Abergeldie Terrace.

It is great to see the latest phase of the resurfacing of Gray Street’s pavements nearing completion.

After being contacted by a concerned resident, I have urged the Council to repair the faulty flashing 20mph warning sign on Broomhill Road on the city centre-bound approach to Broomhill School. The flashing lights on the sign are not working.

Nominations for the elections to the four community councils covering our area have now closed – with mixed results.

I have urged the Council to replace two missing illuminated bollards on the traffic island on Holburn Street at the Great Southern Road roundabout.

I am pleased that, after I highlighted the problem on behalf of residents, the council has agreed to repair uneven areas of pavement around street trees on Holburn Road. 

After I called for action, the Roads Service has filled potholes and broken areas of road surface in several roads in our area including Broomhill Place, Broomhill Terrace, Ruthrieston Crescent, Gaitside Terrace, and Craigton Terrace.

One of the places in our area which people most often contact me about is The Woodies off Broomhill Road and I thought it would be helpful to give an update on various issues about the Woodies.
