Graffiti, Signage and Alzheimer Scotland

Good news received this morning from City Council re complaints I had forwarded in Bankmill Road and Blackness Road (near fire station) areas - to quote:
"Graffiti on pathway between Bankmill Road and Blackness Road removed however the top part is causing a problem with access due to parked cars the crew will check the area for access later. Utility box requires painting. Graffiti in Lane just east of Fire Station removed."
There's been good progress on getting co-operation of a major owner of utility boxes to get graffiti removed so hopefully it'll be tackled soon.
At last week's West End Community Council, it was pointed out to me that the lack of directional signage at the entrances to the new Pinegrove development (ie off Shepherd's Loan and Perth Road at Sinderins) was causing confusion - deliveries going to Pinegrove Gardens development in Osborne Place in error. Took this up with Planning & Transportation who tell me that they'll provide directional signage "for completion within the next two to three weeks."
Lastly, along with some members of West End Community Council, Janet and I are doing a sponsored walk round Balgay Park on Sunday in aid of Alzheimer Scotland - details of the memory walks across Scotland can be read by clicking on the headline above. Many thanks to everyone sponsoring us - if you can do so please e-mai me at memorywalk@frasermacpherson.org.uk.
