Road/pavement works – Benvie Road – suspended #dundeewestend
I have had enquiries from residents about signage that appeared on Benvie Road last week – near the junction with Benvie Gardens – that indicated forthcoming road/pavement works.
I have spoken with council roads engineers and this work was to have been undertaken by SSE contractors to instal a new electricity supply.
However, non-essential/non-urgent work of this kind is now suspended during the COVID-19 health emergency, so the work is not now going ahead and will be undertaken at a later date.
The signage has now been removed.
