Getting things done – Rockfield Crescent #dundeewestend

Residents recently contacted me concerned about the poor state of the road in Rockfield Crescent.

I raised this with the council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership and have received the following positive response :

“The Road Maintenance Partnership inspector raised an order on 12-2-19 for pothole repairs to be carried out with a timescale for repair of approximately thirty days.”
