I have welcomed feedback that the City Council will give priority to my request to upgrade the Roseangle Car Park early in the new financial year 2012/13.
I have been asking the council for some time to resurface the car park - see its condition - right. It is in a really poor state with loads of bad potholes and very worn parking bay lining. The car park is very well-used in an area where finding a parking space is often difficult. Last year I requested resurfacing only to be told there was no money for it in this year’s budget.
I therefore requested that the City Development Department Director give priority to the car park early in the 2012/13 financial year when he has a refreshed budget and am pleased to say the response looks promising.
The Director of City Development has advised me :
“I have discussed this with the Head of Transportation and he agrees that the resurfacing will be prioritised early next Financial Year. This is conditional on the car parking CFCR budget remaining at the same level as Financial Year 2011/12 and this will only be confirmed at the budget setting meeting of the Policy and Resources Committee.”
Hopefully therefore we will see this confirmed at the budget meeting in early February. Local residents will greatly welcome the resurfacing of this badly surfaced car park.
