North Barnhill Walkabout

This morning I attended a walkabout with the North Barnhill Residents Association which took in Abercromby Street, Aberdour Place and Abernethy Road. A number of local residents were present as well as the Ferry ward councillors and representatives from the police, housing department, city development department and environment department.

It was a good opportunity for the residents to engage with the various agencies and highlight issues that need some attention. These included things such as potholes, damaged utility covers, dog fouling, broken street name signs, overgrown shrub beds and litter.

 Estate walkabouts are organised by the housing department and are a good way of helping to maintain the well being of an area.

 Action points were recorded and updates will be provided at the next residents meeting.
