Seabraes cycle path - lighting concern addressed

Earlier this week, a resident contacted me to highlight his concern about the lack of adequate lighting on the cycle path through the former goods yard area from Roseangle through Seabraes to Greenmarket :

"I have just had cause to walk the pedestrian/cycle path at the bottom of Seabraes along the side of the railway line on my way home from the railway station to Patons Lane. Between the two chicane barriers at either end of the pathway I counted no fewer than ten street lights out of action. The lighting on this pathway is not the brightest at the best of times but with ten lights not working the gloom is seriously exacerbated."

Although the pathway falls within Scottish Enterprise's digital media park, the lighting is adopted by the council's Street Lighting Partnership.    I have raised the concern with the partnership who have replied positively as follows :

"I will organise a bulk lamp change to be carried out on the footway/cycleway between Seabraes and the car park at Roseangle and the steps between Perth Road leading to the Digital Media Park."
