Potholes!

I am pleased to say that, following my recently contacting the City Council (following constituent complaint) about a pothole at the junction of Pentland Avenue and City Road, I am advised it was filled this morning. The photo (right) is illustrative, not from Pentland Avenue/City Road!

As Planning & Transport Convener since last May, I get a considerable mailbag about road condition and have been anxious to see progress towards improvements. Towards the end of 2007, the City Council introduced (in partnership with Tayside Contracts) a new, longer-lasting pothole repair solution called "Rapid Rhino".

We are also currently looking at how best to resource and prioritise road resurfacing in the new financial year (2008/9, starting April).
