Graffiti

Apparently it is now beyond SLC to remove this graffiti as it has been sprayed on to roughcast. And despite all the tools and technology available they cannot remove it, so I was told in an e-mail which I now cannot find.

What about painting over it then as I see done on other graffiti in the town.

Play area

This play area as reported by me on many manY occasions is a disgusting health and safety hazard to the wee kids who play there.

Concrete and slabs around the equipment.
No weed control.
Broken slabs.
No litter picking.
Broken glass lies here until a wee old lady from Burnbrae sweeps it up.
Grass machine run over slabs and break them up.
It is used at night as a drinking den and then the buckie bottles get smashed here.

Flooded neglected ruined footpath.

This pathway has been like this now for two years. reported by me many many times. It is a disgrace, and in frosty weather becomes a sheet of ice. The council dumped a load of top soil on the burn side of the path, and so made the flooding deeper and worse than it was. It was as if it was done for cynical reasons. Anyone with half a brain can see what the problem is but it seems to be beyond them to fix all this apart from the lies that they tell when questioned about it all, what a shamefull disgrace. It illustrates perfectly the quality of service we council tax payers receive in this neck of the woods. Incompetence and neglect on a grand scale. There never was a better argument for privatisation of services.

THERE IS A LEAKING PIPE OR DRAIN HERE, BESIDE THE BOTHY, NO ONE HAS DUG ANYTHING HERE.

Bill Macdonald phoned me last week twice to tell me what was being done to rectifiy this. It just is not happening Bill. No digging no drainage nothing.

The paths in this area are shocking and have been for the thiry years I have been here.

Live wires

The panel has been vandalise and the wires are hanging out of the lamp post. Wee kids and pets are in danger of electrocution here.

Note the condition of the footpaths in the background. Unweeded broken and rutted. This from a council that is trying to encourage parents to walk or let their children walk to school.

This footpath his heavily used on school days due to the four schools in the area.

Burnbrae Culvert.

Taken by me today the culvert at Burnbrae as usual not being cleaned and has been like this for weeks.
