Pavements in central Broughty Ferry

I have been contacted by another constituent who has fallen as a result of tripping on a concrete pavement in central Broughty Ferry. This is the third person in recent weeks who has reported to me that they have suffered an injury as a consequence of tripping on a pavement in poor condition. 
 Some of the locations I have reported to the city engineer’s office are to have a limited number of concrete panels repaired, however I have now asked whether it would be possible to carry out a wider programme of repairs to eliminate as many potential trip hazards as possible.  I have received complaints about the concrete pavements in Brook Street, Church Street, King Street, Claypotts Road, New Road and Camphill Road.
