    We’re currently developing our approach to displaying priorities and target completion times to keep residents better informed. In the meantime, we’ll continue to assess the level of risk and allocate resources based on urgency, location, and the availability of repair teams.

    This defect has been added to our works programme and will be scheduled accordingly.

    • To be Completed by: 22/04/2027
    • Road category: 3A
    • Road speed limit: 40

    The date shown above represents the latest target for completion based on our current programme of works. This may be brought forward where resources, operational priorities, or coordination with other activities allow. Defects assessed as posing a higher risk are prioritised for earlier repair whenever possible.

    Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.

  • You stated that this would be addressed by the 22/04/2026 , but that reply was actually sent to me on 23/04/2026 . I have just walked passed and the whole is still there unrepaired , this hole is DANGEROUS ! You can get an adult Boot into it and go down to the depth of your shin , children walk this path regularly a young child would go into the hole to their thigh level ! Dog walkers use this a lot so Thea I all could get injured especially as it cannot be seen in the dark! And of course cyclists as well , this would damage a wheel and dislodge the rider! the location is on Meldrum bypass 3 lamp posts North East of Ardconnan Drive W3W : finishing.issuer.tolerable

    This needs to be done urgently !
