Back in July, I mentioned that at the south end of Seymour Street, there is an area of grass on the south side down which water constantly flows, and then across the pavement of Perth Road.
At the time, I met with a local resident on-site and we agreed that, given there's a street drain to the immediate west, simply providing a channel to let the water flow into the drain, rather than across the pavement, would be the obvious solution - something I wrote to the City Engineer about.

He has now responded positively as follows :
"Scottish Water has tested the water at the above location and confirmed that it is neither sewage nor water from a leaking water mains.
I have agreed to arrange for a low cost interception trap to be excavated within the grass verge, this will then be connected to the road gully as suggested.
This should hopefully prevent the water from running across the footway causing potential slipping problems in winter."
