Getting things done – Clayhills Drive #dundeewestend


I have recently received complaints about the poor road condition of parts of Clayhills Drive.

I took this matter up with the City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have received the following potentially positive response :

“Structural inlays at various location in Clayhills Drive are provisionally scheduled to be carried out in March/ April of this year, subject to budget availability.”

I have asked to be kept updated by the Roads Maintenance Partnership on this given the poor state of parts of the road here.
