I am pleased to advise that, following my raising residents' concerns about the road condition in the Hillside Road area, particularly near the junction with Glamis Drive, the City Engineer advised me:"I can confirm that an order has been raised to patch the section of Hillside Road from Glamis Drive up to Hillside Terrace. This work has been programmed for mid to late August weather permitting."
I have also raised the need for full road resurfacing in the area - the road is really in need of this - and was further advised:
"Resurfacing of Hillside Road is not included in the 2009/2010 programme however the patching works scheduled for mid to late August involve a substantial area of Hillside Road from Glamis Drive as far as house number 8 across the full width of the carriageway and will extend to a depth of 100mm. It does not involve just pothole filling.
"The remainder of Hillside Road will be included in the next annual review where carriageways are inspected/ranked and considered for possible inclusion in the following year's programme of improvement works."
I have asked the City Engineer to advise me of the outcome of the annual review process in due course.
