I recently – on behalf of residents – raised complaints about the state of the roadway in Bellefield Avenue and Seafield Road.     The City Council has now updated me as follows : “An order has been raised by the Road Maintenance Partnership inspector to fill various holes on Seafield Road carriageway and footway [...]

The resurfacing work at the Roseangle car park is nearing completion and, as you can see below from photos I took late yesterday, the newly resurfaced car park is a huge improvement on the old pothole-ridden surface: The City Council’s parking staff updated me yesterday afternoon as follows and I’m confident the car park will [...]

After many months of campaigning on behalf of local residents for proper resurfacing of the badly potholed Roseangle car park, I was pleased to advise last month that the City Council had agreed to fully resurface it and have it properly relined. Slightly ahead of schedule, the council’s contractor, Tayside Contracts, will commence resurfacing works [...]

On a number of occasions, I have assisted residents in tenements where the stair lighting has failed.   The council’s Private Sector Unit has been extremely helpful in such situations. I am therefore delighted that the council is now offering one-off awards of £100 per flat to assist with stair lighting repairs.   One of the [...]

Tenement lighting

Posted: January 19, 2010 in Bellefield Avenue

Over the weekend, residents in Bellefield Avenue drew to my attention that the stair lighting in all the tenement flats on the east side of the street had failed.    A similar situation arose some time ago on the west side of the street.   The problem is that the stair lighting is linked together, so if [...]

I’ve been in discussion with City Council Planning & Transportation officials over the past few days regarding concerns about delivery delays to some residents of the survey on parking issues. The Council’s parking consultants have now agreed to meet with me in my capacity as Planning and Transport Convener to discuss the concerns and to [...]

Yesterday, met with a local resident and Waste Management/Environmental Health & Trading Standards Department staff about a refuse problem in the Seafield Road area; both departments have been really helpful in attempting to resolve the issues. Today, a deluge of complaints from residents in Roseangle and Bellefield Avenue about the extent of noise coming from [...]
