On Monday 30 July I received a positive and detailed response from the Environment Department. They undertook to send in staff to remove all the vegetation along the southern side of the walkway which would be followed up by a mechanical sweeper.
They had also undertaken to clarify the responsibility for the cleaning of the small drains on this section of the walkway/cyclepath which they agreed were blocked and needed to be flushed out.
On Friday 3 August, I received a further update from the Environment Department confirming that the footpath had had the weeds removed from the Stannergate through to Douglas Terrace on Friday 6 August, the sweeping machine had been programmed for Monday 6 August prior to new drains being installed on Tuesday 7 August.
Well done to the staff at the Environment Department for a prompt and comprehensive response.
