Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) has been identified at Blackhall Library. Following UK Government guidance, the Library closed on the 14th of September to allow a more detailed inspection to be carried out.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) recently announced the removal of the height rescue appliance (turntable ladder) from Crewe Toll Fire Station.
Residents are frequently in touch with frustrations about overrunning utility works - especially when it appears that there is no one working on the site. The Lib Dem team are exploring ways to improve this.
The CCTV camera that sits at the junction of Craigleith on the Northen pathways has been removed temporarily as it needs upgrading.
There has been a lot of coverage in the media recently about schools and reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RACC) that had used as a building material.
Several residents have raised concerns regarding some issues at and relating to Ferryhill Primary School.
Edinburgh Council recently ran a survey about how to improve walking and cycling routes to Blackhall Primary school.
At the beginning of the summer a walkabout was conducted with members of the Dean Village Association to go through some of the issues in the area.
There has been repeated flooding at the junction between Craigleith Hill Avenue and Crewe Road South, and several failed attempts to fix the leaking water main.
A number of residents and Neighbourhood Watch Groups have expressed concern about anti-social behaviour in and around the cycle path network.
Over the years there has been an increasing number of requests/complaints regarding pedestrian and cycle access to Craigleith Retail Park.
Local Lib Dem councillor Hal Osler met recently with representatives of Sight Scotland regarding Farmers Junction.
