I have been contacted by residents about recent carriageway works in Edzell Street and Strathbeg Place. They wanted to know why only certain sections were attended to rather than the entire carriageway. Nearby Dunshelt Road is quite bad as well, particularly at its junctions with Edzell Street and Strathbeg Place, and could do with some attention. I contacted the Roads Maintenance Partnership about it and have posted below the response I received:
‘Carriageway patching works such as those recently completed in Edzell Street and Strathbeg Place are carried out to effect repairs to sizeable areas of carriageway where only specific areas require remedial action and where there are no proposals or no available funding to carry out a full resurfacing of that location. There are no plans to carry out patching or resurfacing works to Dunshelt Road at present for budgetary reasons however it will continue to be inspected on a regular basis and any actionable defects noted will be repaired to ensure safety is maintained.’
