I
was pleased to see that work has been carried out to try and deal with the ongoing
ponding at Dalhousie Road, near to the junction with Guthrie Terrace. I have previously posted about how excessive
the ponding can be, sometimes covering the entire carriageway and pavement. On
one occasion I had to request a clean up as foul smelling black sludge, made up
of road detritus and organic material, was left on the pavement.
The
recent work undertaken was to install a length of linear drainage channel
between two existing gullies. I’m told this channel doesn’t increase drainage
at the location as the catchment for the existing gullies remains the same,
however it will assist in removing standing water more quickly, before taking
it to the gullies.
It
will be monitored over the next few weeks to ensure it is working as intended.
