Another pavement needing repaired

I have been approached by residents of the sheltered housing complex in Wimberley Court about the uneven condition of the pavement at the top of Victoria Road and along Strathern Road. This is the route they have to take to get to their nearest bus stop and they are concerned about the possibility of tripping.
While this is by no means the worst pavement in Broughty Ferry I have posted it here as an example of how the under funding of our roads and pavements is impacting on people's lives. When Dundee City Council met to set its budget and capital plan for 2012/16 the Conservative Group moved that an additional £3.6 million should be allocated to road reconstructions and a further £1.6 million should be allocated to pavements. Unfortunately it was rejected by the council's SNP administration.I have made the road maintenance partnership aware of the concern about this particular pavement.
