Further to my article last Friday about planned improvements to Riverside Drive west of Tesco, I have received residents' complaints about the unkempt look of the road east of Tesco towards the rail station. Areas are not properly grassed over and there's a fair bit of litter lying about.
I contacted the council's Director of City Development regarding this and he has advised:
"The City Engineer's Division ... recently asked the Environment Department to provide a quotation to tidy up the area at the West end of the Bus lay-by.
It is also intended to plant grass and refresh the soft landscaping in this area (see plan above). We have also asked that all rubbish in the area is removed."
