I have been contacted by a number of people regarding pooling that occurs on Dalhousie Road near to its junction with Guthrie Terrace. The two rainwater gullies at this location have been blocked by sand bags for some time.
I raised the matter with the council’s city engineer and was advised that the gullies are damaged and the sand bags are to remain in place until work can be carried out to replace the gully pots and reconnect the gully tail to the sewer within Dalhousie Road. These works are provisionally programmed to commence on 21st January 2013 subject to Tayside Contracts winter maintenance commitments at that time.
The pooling at this location has been so much worse in recent days due to the incessant rainfall so I’m pleased that there is a planned date for rectifying the problem.
