Fort Street

Good news – Fort Street

Having long campaigned for road surface improvements for Fort Street, I was pleased to be recently advised :
 
“I have been advised that this road is to be upgraded in the near future either March or April 2017, subject to the continuation of current funding levels.”

Fort Street – an update

I recently mentioned that I had taken up with the City Council the poor condition of the roadway of Fort Street.  As one resident put it, “potholes … are bad and getting worse and loose gravel all over the place.”
 
I have now had the following response from the council’s Road Maintenance Partnership :
 

 “A Road Maintenance Partnership inspector has arranged for a mechanical sweeper to visit Fort Street and has also raised an order for the repair of the potholes noted with a timescale for completion of twenty eight days or sooner.”

Getting things done – Richmond Terrace and Fort Street

Having contacted Dundee City Council back in March to improve the road surface in Richmond Terace – following complaints from residents about its extremely poor surface – I obtained assurances that action would be taken to improve the roadway.
 
I was therefore pleased last week to note that work had commenced to undertake repairs – see photo below:
I have now also raised with the Roads Maintenance Partnership the need to improve nearby Fort Street, which is in a badly in need of road surface improvement.

An update – Fort Street and Richmond Terrace

Earlier this month, I highlighted the poor road surfaces in both Richmond Terrace and Fort Street (see right) and reported these to the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership (RMP).
 
I have now received a response from RMP as follows:
 
“An order has been raised by the Road Maintenance Partnership inspector to repair a number of potholes in Fort Street/Richmond Terrace with a timescale for completion of twenty eight days or sooner.”

Residents have complained to me about the deteriorating state of the roadway in both Fort Street and in adjacent Richmond Terrace.   The Fort Street road surface is pictured – below:

I have reported this to the City Council’s Road Maintenance Partnership (RMP), requesting improvements.
