Interesting watch at DM Sub Planning committee yesterday. The New Mart Rd development returned after the Scottish Reporter took a long time to respond. Far from satisfactory as far as Cllrs concerned. Huge development - no car club spaces & no active travel contribution at big no-car development. /1

Longstone sinkhole fixed, path open again, wall reinforced, and existing paths beefed up with more hardcore and whindust. A bit of seeding required in spring, and some mesh fencing to add but otherwise all good. π

Itβs been suggested by one our members that it would be good if we could get some more trees planted along the northern edge of the Murray Burn behind where Short & Curlys and the Jaflong used to be. Weβd need to liaise with βPlaces for Peopleβ to see whatβs possible.

Works on stabilising the river wall alongside the Burnside path progressing well. Hopefully not too long before they are finished, and the Longstone Sinkhole is no more.

Reported all these overflowing bins outside Canal View Primary. A very grim welcome to primary school. One of the bins has a notice behind it warning about control of rodents and to be careful. This is beginner level fail on rat control. ππΌ

It's hard enough trying to gain basic improvements in school street safety locally from poor driver behaviour, overgrown hedges etc without pupils and residents having to negotiate all these abandoned signs.

Written to Scottish Canals, again asking the contractors return and remove all the pedestrian diversion signs they left behind at the start of Oct after they finished tree works along the canal. Diversion route includes primary school streets, which are narrow enough already. Not good enough.ππ
