The roads Service agreed to carry out repairs to Inchbrae Drive, Inchbrae Terrace and Inchbrae Road after I highlighted problems on behalf of residents.

After being contacted by concerned residents, I have urged the Roads Service to take action over the crumbling surfaces of Granville Lane and Aboyne Place.

Frustratingly, I regularly have to ask Council staff to removed dumped items from streets in our area, most recently from Nellfield Place and Garthdee Drive.

Following the recent storms, residents have contacted me about fallen trees in our area. Fallen street trees and trees on Council-owned land are the Council’s responsibility but fallen trees on privately-owned land, including gardens, are the responsibility of the landowner.

After I highlighted the problems, the Roads Service has filled and repaired potholes and broken areas in the surfaces of several roads in our area.

I have called on the Roads Service to repair potholes in the road surface at the junction of Montrose Drive and Craigievar Road.

The December meeting of Garthdee Community Council received a report from the local policing team on crime in the area between 14th November and 14th December.

After I called for action, the Roads Service has replaced missing and damaged bollards and an illuminated globe at a traffic island on Auchinyell Road.

I have been asked by a number of people why the resurfacing of the Bridge of Dee planned for October did not go ahead.

Residents have told me they are becoming more and more frustrated by the ever lengthening delay in Barratts carrying out the work needed to allow the City Council to take over the roads at the Garthdee Farm Gardens development.
