Action on slippy leaves ...

Last week, following concerns from sheltered tenants, I asked the City Council Environment Department to clean up wet, slippy leaves at the Blackness Avenue end of Abbotsford Place and - with thanks - the department attended to this extremely efficiently.

On Sunday, an elderly lady slipped on leaves on Logie Avenue at the junction with Birchwood Place - see photo of the area - right.

Thankfully the lady managed to steady herself and was not injured, but I have asked the council to clean up the leaves here.

The City Council advises me that an instruction has gone out to all street sweepers to tackle leaves on pavements and this is to be welcomed.
