Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 931175.
Hello, there is an ongoing issue at Westhill Tesco roundabout. The pedestrian barriers are repeatedly getting damaged by oncoming traffic causing substantial damage and risk to life/injury of those pedestrians who may be using the walkway at the time.
I personally use this pedestrian route with a pram on a daily basis and feel unsafe to use the route due to regular damage to the barriers sustained. There are reports of insufficient lighting at the roundabout in the night time/dark hours.
Please review this as a matter of urgency and consider making improvements.
