Had complaints from residents that the electricity sub-station in Milnbank Road (near to Bankmill Road and the playpark) is badly graffitied (see right). I have reported this to Scottish & Southern Electric asking for it to be tidied up.In my recent FOCUS Special Edition for Ancrum and Pentland areas, I highlighted the visit I had recently made to meet residents in Morven Terrace who pointed out that the pavement at the entrance is so narrow that many elderly people walk at the side of the road and there is no "Elderly Persons Crossing" warning sign near the entrance (there is one in the car park; rather the wrong location!) Furthermore a "slow" sign as you exit the Terrace is bent and covered by a hedge. Having reported this to the City Council, I have now had the following feedback from the Director of Planning & Transportation :
"The site has been investigated. and I have requested the maintenance section to repair / replace the 'bent' sign and arrange for the foliage to be cut back. The 'elderly persons' crossing sign will be repositioned."
