CEC officer has met on site with the contractors who are going to try to improve matters for pedestrians by adding more hardcore and maybe some steel sheeting to bridge the worst section of mud.
We’ve raised the very muddy condition of the diversion path after it was highlighted by local users of it.

@livingstreetsedi.bsky.social @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social It's hard enough trying to gain basic improvements in school street safety locally from poor driver behaviour, overgrown hedges etc without pupils and residents having to negotiate all these abandoned signs.

Written to Scottish Canals, again asking the contractors return and remove all the pedestrian diversion signs they left behind at the start of Oct after they finished tree works along the canal. Diversion route includes primary school streets, which are narrow enough already. Not good enough.👎👎

The Dovecot CSO isn’t on the Scottish Water overflow map for monitoring (yet) but it regularly overflows and when the river level drops you can see sewer detritus stuck to the grill. Likely much more going into the river. @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social

Tree safety works that commenced back on the 9/10 which were completed within a couple of weeks have left all their many diversion road signs strewn around our community blocking key routes to the local primary school.Ridiculous they have been left lying around for weeks now. Sent to Scottish Canals
So this is what was going on this morning. Union Canal path between Redhall Park turnoff and Kingsknowe Station will be closed each day for the next couple of weeks from 8am - 4.30pm. Cutting back ash trees. Diversion in place. No notice of this in advance 👎🏼 @spokes.org.uk @sw20.info @edi.bike
