A number of Airyhall residents have contacted me about problems with seagulls in Airyhall. Although these gulls are clearly causing problems, councils have no special powers to take action against gulls. Only the owners or occupiers of land and buildings, or someone acting on their behalf, can take action against nesting gulls.

Council staff have apologised for the delay in repairing the street lights on the Bridge of Dee. These lights are currently on 24 hours a day.

The Council’s Planning Service has rejected my call for a Tree Preservation Order to be put on the trees on the land between Airyhall House and Northcote Lodge.

I have urged Council planners to protect the trees on the area of land between Airyhall House and Northcote Lodge. I took this action after being contacted by residents concerned about the possible sale and development of this land.

After being contacted by residents, I have asked the Council to repair streetlights on Duthie Place which currently stay on 24 hours a day.

After I urged the council to take action, a dumped sofa and chair were removed from The Woodies off Broomhill Road.

A COVID Immunisation Clinic is being held for over 30s at Inchgarth Community Centre on Friday 9th July.

I have been contacted by residents concerned that some street lights in Braeside have been remaining on during the day.

A planning application has been made to build 35 three and four bedroom council houses and bungalows on the site of the former Kaimhill Outdoor Sports Centre and the children’s play area off Inchbrae Drive. The proposal includes creating a new play area at the junction of Devenick Place and Ramsay Gardens.

The June police report for Braeside and Mannofield is now available.
