Ferndale Drive pavements

 At long last the work to upgrade and adopt the pavements in Ferndale Drive and Deepdale Place is near completion. Both these pavements were successful if the council's unadopted footways scheme last year but work was put on hold in February when SGN notified its intention to upgrade the gas main located within the Ferndale Drive footway.  
SGN confirmed its works were complete last week so the council started back on Wednesday raising ironwork and laying the wearing course.  Everything should be completed early next week. The pictures to the right depict the same section of Ferndale Drive before and after the surfacing works.
 
The unadopted pavements in Manor Place and Bayfield Gardens are to be brought up to standard during this financial year. Although there are fewer Broughty Ferry pavements being attended to  than has been the case in previous years I'm pleased to note that another 23 unadopted pavements across Broughty Ferry feature high enough in the priority ranking list of the council's unadopted footways scheme to feature in a programme of works during the new council's five year term.
