I have urged the Council to work with the various owners of Margaret Place to properly maintain this private road. As those who use it know, Margaret Place is potholed and crumbling with some very large and deep potholes.

After I highlighted the problem, the Roads Service has cleared a blocked street drain which was causing a very large pool of water to form at the junction of Holburn Street and Ruthrieston Road.

I regularly report missing and damaged illuminated bollards on pedestrian islands on behalf of residents, most recently at the Broomhill roundabout and on Great Western Road.

I am delighted that the collapsed wooden fence between Ruthrieston Road and the bridge over the Deeside Way (the old railway line) on the eastern side South Anderson Drive has, at last, been replaced.

Work to replace the collapsed wooden fence on the eastern side of South Anderson Drive between Ruthrieston Road and the bridge over the Deeside Way (the old railway line) is due to start on Tuesday 23rd November.

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

After I raised the issue, the Council has agreed to replace several dead trees on the western side of South Anderson Drive between Ruthrieston Road and Garthdee Road.

After I highlighted the problem, the Council has cut back a hedge growing out over the footpath between Ruthrieston Crescent and South Anderson Drive.

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.
