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.

Work to repair an unsafe wall means, from Friday 18th March, Cranford Road will be one-way southbound between Great Western Road and Hutchison Terrace. Parking will also be prohibited on both side of the same part of Cranford Road.

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 I was contacted by a local resident, I asked the Council to repair the damaged bus shelter on the northern side of Oakdale Terrace opposite the Mannofield Tesco.

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.

Work to demolish the lock up garages at the Woodies off Broomhill Road should start once an asbestos survey has been carried out and any asbestos found is then safely removed.

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.

Problems with dog waste bins in our area not being emptied often enough have returned and, after being contacted by a concerned resident, I called for overflowing dog waste bins on Airyhall Drive and Countesswells Road to be emptied.

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.
