Although the recent thaw has helped to reduce the extent of icy roads and footpaths across the city, there are still areas causing residents difficulty.
Residents in Bankmill Road have contacted me about the state of the road and pavements in the street and also in the pathway that runs from the street to Rosefield Place that residents use to get to the Blackness Road shops.
A number of the residents are elderly and the icy paths are causing real problems - one resident with mobility problems has not been out the house in the past five weeks.
I have contacted the City Council about this asking that the winter maintenance team give the area attention as soon as possible.
