Waste Mortar to be Removed from Pilot Pier in Broughty Ferry

Mortar in boxes observed on
pm Tuesday 13 November

Yesterday afternoon, I was alerted to two plastic crates containing lumps of waste mortar which had been left by builders at the Pilot Pier on Fisher Street in Broughty Ferry for the last week. 

On the morning of Tuesday 5 November, a constituent had first contacted me to a situation at the Pilot Pier in The Ferry. They had observed workers, now confirmed to be from Craigleith Masonry in Edinburgh. They were seen breaking up excess mortar which had been left to set overnight on protective sheeting on the cobbled area at the Pilot Pier. Subsequently they left the mortar in plastic boxes presumably for easy uplift.

This seemed to be satisfactory at the time, but one week later there are still two boxes awaiting uplift by the firm.

I have contacted Craigleith Masonry this morning who have confirmed that they will remove their boxes of waste building materials from our sea front on Friday when they are next working in The Ferry repairing the sea wall in the vicinity.
