Five Pavements in Broughty Ferry Will be Upgraded in 2013/14

The City Development Department have informed me that five pavements in Broughty Ferry have been included in the Council's 2013/14 programme of upgrading unadopted pavements.

These are:
  • Abertay Street - west side
  • Fairfield Road - east side (north of Strathern Road)
  • Bughties Road - south side
  • Campfield Road
  • Albany Road - south side
I know from constituent complaints and concerns that there will be many folk who will be pleased when their pavements are upgraded and then adopted by the Council.

For example, one grand mother complained to me about the state of the west side of Abertay Street in the stretch between Camphill Road and the Campfield Square shops. This had been so uneven that it had been painful for her to walk along. Furthermore when her grand daughter was pushing her doll's pram to the shops, the large exposed gravel was a hazard for young knees and an awkward barrier for the wee pram wheels.

I am sure constituents in the relevant streets will now be counting the days until there pavements are upgraded.
