Cracked asphalt road with faded white paint lines and scattered debris, conveying a sense of wear and age, suggesting frequent use over time.

Councillor Martin Greig followed up with the City Council Roads Team regarding concerns raised by the Community Council about road markings at several locations. Updates have now been received for three sites, outlined below.


1. Queens Road (near Provost Graham Avenue junction)

Issue: Faded road markings

Update:
The Roads Team has confirmed that they are aware of the issue and that a work order is already in place to repaint the worn markings. However, current resource constraints are affecting how quickly the work can be completed.

They have advised that repainting will be carried out at the earliest opportunity, taking into account weather conditions and staff availability.


2. Hazledene Road

Issue: Request to repaint zebra crossing

Update:
The Roads Team will arrange an inspection of the zebra crossing. If the markings are found to be below acceptable standards, the site will be added to the maintenance schedule.

As with other locations, resource limitations may affect the timescale for repairs. Work will proceed as soon as possible, subject to weather conditions and available resources.


3. Great Western Road (near Hammerfield Avenue / Duthie Terrace)

Issue: Faded white line markings (including central road markings)

Update:
The Roads Team has confirmed that this issue is already logged, and a work order is in place. Due to current resource constraints, there is no confirmed date for the repainting work at this time.

Repairs will be undertaken as soon as practicable, depending on weather conditions and operational capacity.
