I was pleased to see that work to
bring up to standard the pavement on the north side of Kerrington Crescent is progressing. This is another pavement that I have received a lot of complaints
about over the years. I previously was able to increase its priority in the council’s unadopted footways scheme by establishing
that houses were present in Kerrington Crescent prior to 1919 which allowed it
to gain the maximum number of points that are allocated to pavements for the
age of housing in the street. I was able to do similar with the age of the housing
in Strathmore Street, beside the Barnhill shops, which also resulted in the pavement
there being included in a programme of works this year.
On viewing the attached photograph
when writing this item I noticed that the street name plate for Maule Street
has all but been worn away. I have asked that this be replaced with a new one.
