Getting things done – Richmond Terrace #dundeewestend

At the request of residents, I raised with the council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership the condition of the road surface in Richmond Terrace.

I have now received the following response :

“A number of potholes in Richmond Terrace have been repaired within the last few days. 

Richmond Terrace is provisionally included in the 2021-2022 Carriageway Programme. 

In the meantime it will continue to be inspected on a regular basis and any actionable defects noted will be repaired to ensure safety is maintained.”

I am anxious to see resurfacing earlier than this and will continue to pursue this.
