Getting things done – Shaftesbury Road and Seymour Street

At the request of local residents I have raised with the City Council concerns about the poor road surfaces at the west end of Shaftesbury Road – see right - and in parts of Seymour Street – see below. I have asked the Roads Maintenance Partnership for repairs in both streets to improve the road condition.

Assault concern

As reported in tonight’s Evening Telegraph, both I and my ward colleague Richard McCready have condemned the shocking assault last Sunday on a 23 year old man who was hit by a vehicle at the junction of Shaftesbury Road and Seymour Street.   He was unhurt in the initial collision but then suffered a broken nose [...]

Junction of Seymour Street and Perth Road

Back in July, I mentioned that at the south end of Seymour Street, there is an area of grass on the south side down which water constantly flows, and then across the pavement of Perth Road. At the time, I met with a local resident on-site and we agreed that, given there’s a street drain to [...]

Seymour Street/Perth Road

At the south end of Seymour Street, there is an area of grass on the east side down which water constantly flows, and then across the pavement of Perth Road.   Needless to say, in winter, the water freezes, meaning that the pavement becomes a sheet of ice.  It is just as well there’s the [...]

Update : Path adjacent to Seymour Lodge

If you click on the headline above, you’ll recall that, back in February, I raised the issue of the state of the pathway to the side of Seymour Lodge (the thoroughfare from Shaftesbury Road to Perth Road), which is extremely well used by residents in the West End, but currently in very poor condition (see [...]

Thoroughfare from Shaftesbury Road to Perth Road, adjacent to Seymour Lodge

I am very pleased at the positive response from Tayside Police to my request that the Force upgrade an area of pathway in their ownership, that is extremely well used by residents in the West End, but currently in very poor condition. Last month, I raised the condition of the thoroughfare from Shaftesbury Road to [...]
