Today I received
the outcome of the ranking exercise for the 2014/15 unadopted footways programme.
Broughty Ferry has done reasonably well this year with a further nine pavements
being brought up to standard and adopted by the council for future maintenance.
These are Strathmore Street-east end of the section near to the shops, Margaret
Crescent-east footway, Stewart Street,
Kerrington Crescent-north footway, Boyd Place, Ramsay Street, Hutton Place,
South Balmossie Street-west footway, Oakley Place.
There are twenty
two pavements across the city to be attended to this year and work will be
carried out on a phased basis starting in late summer.
I have received
a number of representations about these pavements over the years; Kerrington Crescent
in particular has generated a lot of contact from residents. A few years ago I was
able to establish that a number of the properties in the street dated back before
1919 and as a result it was awarded the maximum number of priority points for
the age of housing in the street. Likewise for this year’s reassessment I
submitted to the city engineer’s office evidence that there were properties prior
to 1919 in the section of Strathmore Street that is to be done. This was accepted
and as a result of the additional points it jumped to the top of the priority list.
There is still
a few more pavements to be done yet and I will continue to look for ways of improving
their priority.
