East End Ward

The street name signs that I reported recently, the faulty road sign at the Douglas Road/ Happyhillock Road and several signs reported by Christina are to be looked at by the Planning and Transportation department. The response from the department is as follows

"I have been passed copies of e-mails from Councillor Dawson and Councillor Roberts regarding problems with a number of street name plates and traffic signs. I understand that the street name plate issues have already been addressed by my colleague. I have inspected the locations of the traffic sign problems at Douglas Road / Happyhillock Road roundabout and Pitkerro Drive and have arranged to have the defects rectified."

Hopefully see a resolution to these issues soon.

Currently reporting more and more potholes on the roads within the ward and am becoming increasingly concerned about the state of many of the roads. The roads currently being looked at are Balunie Street, Balbeggie Street, Baluniefield Road and Balantrae Terrace just to name a few.

I will be asking for assurance that these repairs are done in a timely fashion and that the repairs last for more than a few days.

Street signs have also been an issue recently. I have reported a number of different street signs that need replacing or repaired such as Balcarres Terrace and Balmoral Gardens. These have mostly been vandalised but many in the ward are faded and require replacing due to old age.

Glad to report that the housing department have placed work orders to have the back court areas of some of the tenements on Balbeggie Street cleaned up and internal stair lighting repaired.
