Council staff have told me they have repaired faulty street lights on Countesswells Road, Hammersmith Road, Gaitside Road and Broomhill Road after I highlighted faults on behalf of residents.

I have asked the Roads Service to replace missing illuminated bollards on a traffic island on Holburn Street at the Great Southern Road roundabout.

There are continuing problems with dog waste bins in our area not being emptied often enough. The most recent problem was with the dog waste bin at the grass area between Northcote Crescent and New Fox Lane.

The Council has finally replaced the street lights on South Anderson Drive.

The problem with the street lights on South Anderson Drive between Broomhill Road and Garthdee Road remaining on during the day should be fixed soon.

I was very disappointed to be told that there is going to further delay the start of work on the latest phase of the resurfacing of Gray Street’s pavements. This is because of work due to be carried out by a utility company.

I am pleased that the council has agreed to remove the lock up garages from the middle of “The Woodies” off Broomhill Road.

After being contacted by a number of residents, I asked council roads staff when the latest phase of the resurfacing of Gray Street’s pavements would be carried out.

Very annoyingly, despite the Roads Service saying the street lights around the Broomhill Road / South Anderson Drive roundabout had been repaired, there are still problems with the lights coming on at the right time. 

Permission has been given to convert the Mariner Hotel into nine flats and a house and to build two semidetached houses in the hotel car park.
