A few Tuesday updates ...

A few updates from earlier today :
  • Residents have called to say one of the temporary bus stops on Hawkhill is missing (pinched presumably, a common temporary bus stop problem, although this one was attached to a permanent pole, rather than being wholly moveable!) Anyway, have asked the City Council to replace this ASAP as residents complain buses are not stopping at it.
  • A concern that the Friendly Bus sheltered shopping service was 45 minutes late today, but, having spoken with Stagecoach Strathtay, pleased to say it was a one-off staffing problem, and nothing to do with the Perth Road gas mains works (the reason for the problems a couple of weeks ago).
  • Pleased to hear that the bus bay markings in Ninewells Avenue were finally completed this morning - this had previously proved problematic because of parked cars.
  • I have asked the City Council when it can re-open the top of Paton's Lane at Perth Road as the Turriff gas contractors are now firmly east of here and it would again be possible to access Paton's Lane at Perth Road from the west.
