Residents recently contacted me about TV/satellite loose cables across the pavement in Perth Road just west of Miller’s Wynd that presented a trip hazard.

I took this up with the council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and the local roads inspector had the cabling tied up to remove the problem.

I have since had concerns of a similar problem on Perth road further east at Pennycook Lane and also in Peddie Street (see photos) and have requested similar action there.
