After many months of road closure due to Scottish Water then Scotland Gas Networks works, as reported in today's Courier, I have welcomed an update the City Council has given me that Thomson Street is scheduled to re-open to through traffic in around three weeks' time.
This project has taken longer than planned and the residents have suffered many months of no through traffic and parking difficulties. It is good to see the works now coming towards an end and the street returning to normality.
As I indicate in the Courier, the City Council has given me a commitment that the road will not be left long term with a patchworks of filled in holes and an uneven surface caused by the extensive works and the road will later be resurfaced properly - although at least 4-6 weeks after the pipes work is complete to ensure that any settlement is evident before resurfacing takes place.
