Getting things done – Seymour Street #dundeewestend

Residents recently complained to me about potholes on the road surface of Seymour Street towards its north end.
 
I raised this with the council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have been advised as follows :
 
“A pothole repair order was raised … with a timescale for repair of approximately thirty days.”

Getting things done : Seymour Street

Residents have again complained to me about further potholes on the roadway of Seymour Street.
 
I reported this to the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and an officer has responded as follows :
 
“I have spoken to the Inspector for the above location and he advised that an order has been raised to carry out repairs.  I can advise that repairs will be carried out with the Planer Patcher once Winter Maintenance is complete.”

Getting things done – Fort Street and Richmond Terrace

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.

 
Updates on other road repairs required that I have recently raised on behalf of residents :
 
Norwood Crescent :   RMP has responded – “With reference to your email, an order has been raised to fill a number of potholes in Norwood Crescent with a timescale for completion of twenty eight days or sooner.”
 
Seymour Street :   RMP has replied – “An order has been raised to carry out pothole repairs at this location with a timescale for completion of twenty eight days or sooner.”

Getting things done – Blackness Avenue, Hyndford Street and Seymour Street

Residents have brought to my attention that fact that some of the gullies at road edges in Blackness Avenue, Hyndford Street and Seymour Street are full and blocked.   I reported this to the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership who have advised:
 
“Gullies are cleaned on cyclic maintenance with a frequency of approximately twice per eighteen months with particular attention given to gullies at low points. The gullies in the area will be checked by the Road Maintenance Partnership inspector who will arrange for an additional emptying if required. This will be done as soon as resources are available.”

Seymour Street and Shaftesbury Road – an update

Earlier this month, I mentioned that I had raised with Dundee City Council the poor state of repair of parts of Seymour Street’s roadway (see right) and the west end of Shaftesbury Road.

The City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership has now updated me as follows:

“With reference to your email below, the Road Maintenance Partnership inspector has raised an order for the repair of the potholes in Seymour Street and Shaftesbury Road with a timescale for repair of twenty eight days or sooner. He has also raised an order to re-bed the setts in the channel and this will be done as soon as resources are available and earlier priorities have been dealt with.”

(The sunken setts in the channel that are to be re-bedded are in Shaftesbury Road).
