Firstly, the lift problem at Sinderins Court. I received this from the Director Service Delivery at Home Scotland yesterday. I am pleased to learn that a proper solution to replace the existing lift mechanism (that has broken down on numerous occasions) is now in sight :
"Just to update you, tenders have now been accepted and works commence on 21st July. The lead time for the specialist equipment is 12 weeks so the contractor has managed to accelerate this substantially. The residents' meeting was held this morning, attended by the contractor and our lift specialist and residents are very positive about the proposed works. This will be confirmed to all residents within the next couple of days."
Secondly, at last month's West End Community Council meeting, concern was expressed that residents' dogs could get on to the rail line by Magdalen Green as Network Rail’s fence didn't have a low enough horizontal wire. I have now had this response from Network Rail :
"The local P / Way staff have carried out repairs to the fencing on the Green."
