I have called on the Roads Service to properly repair broken areas of road surface on Braeside Terrace.

My Liberal Democrat colleagues and I believe that councillors should focus on providing the best possible services for local people – and not spend time refighting national political battles in the Council chamber.

After I highlighted the danger, Openreach has put a barrier around a broken access cover in the pavement at the junction of Holburn Road and Irvine Place. 

Thank you to each of the 2,146 local residents who gave me their first preference vote in Thursday’s council election – over 500 more than any other candidate in our area.

After being contacted by concerned residents, I highlighted to Council staff the problems being caused by cars parked at the northern end of Morningside Road near its junction with Oakdale Terrace.

Over the last few days I have urged the Roads Service to fill potholes and repair broken areas of road surface on roads including Northcote Hill, Craigielea Gardens, Seafield Gardens and Duthie Place.

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

After highlighted the broken and potholed condition of the surface of Hammersmith Lane, Council staff agreed to resurface it this year.

I have been contacted by people what is the reason for the orange dots recently marked on trees in our area.

Council staff have agreed to repaint the worn road markings at the junction of Garthdee Farm Gardens and Garthdee Road.
