The neglected Hunter Street/Hawkhill roundabout ...

Following complaints I received about the neglected state of the roundabout on Hawkhill at Hunter Street, I raised this with the City Engineer, who has responded as follows:

"The Roads Supervisor has inspected the roundabout and notes that it does look a bit neglected however the shrubs were severely pruned earlier this year to increase forward visibility for the installation of the new pedestrian crossing and there has not yet been sufficient time for the shrubs to regenerate.

The DCS Land Services supervisor for that area is planning to carry out a litter pick/weed treatment on the roundabout as part of the periodic maintenance carried out for Road Maintenance as soon as it can be arranged."
