REPORT FOR THE WEST END WARD – WEEK COMMENCING MONDAY 7 NOVEMBER 2022

Miller’s Wynd – closed until 26 December 2022 at its junction with Hawkhill for major construction works. 

Guthrie Street (Brown Street to West Marketgait) – closed for 2 weeks for Scottish and Southern Energy Network work.

Forthcoming Roadworks

Milnbank Road – closed westbound from junction of Bankmill Road for 4 days from 15 November for ground investigation works.

Brown Street (at Douglas Street) – temporary traffic lights from Tuesday 22 November for 2 weeks for Scottish Water work.

NOTE :   This week’s planned works for Dunmore Gardens and Dunmore Drive are slightly delayed.    We contacted the Roads Maintenance Partnership Manager about this and have been advised :

“Unfortunately due to significant drainage issues at Torridon Road and Morlich Gardens this week which necessitated the removal of squads from this scheme while a complete redesign was undertaken, Dunmore Gardens has required to be delayed. 

Due to the works at Torridon Road and Morlich Gardens having had all bituminous materials removed before issues were discovered with the drainage, the Roads Maintenance Partnership has had no choice to return to these works W/C the 7th of November which unfortunately does mean Dunmore Gardens requires to be reprogrammed due to the road space booked for these works (and other schemes) not allowing the RMP to return late next week or the week after.

While I know this is far from ideal, I can assure you these works will be undertaken at a later date, which is yet to be determined.”

 This is a disappointing delay.    We have asked to be kept updated on the revised resurfacing dates and will keep residents advised as we hear further.
