Freezing water at junction, 8th February
This problem has been reported on numerous occasions but nothing has been done to fix it. Water pools at the junction with Deanburn Gardens and freezes, causing a hazardous situation whereby cars skid on the ice upon entering or leaving Deanburn Gardens. My dad's car skidded out this morning as he entered the junction and my car wouldn't move as I exited the junction going to work. With tonight's freezing temperatures someone is going to have a nasty accident due to the failure to rectify this pooling water by unblocking drains further up the road towards Seafield. They have been blocked for years.

Continual flow of water pooling at Deanburn Gardens junction causing ice/ skid hazzard., 6th December
The water has been running from, I suspect, a broken land drain for years and this water goes onto the road, runs over blocked drains and collects at the junction of Deanburn Gardens. This water is now freezing and causing cars and vehicles to skid dangerously on entering and exiting the junction to A705. This had been reported many times and nothing is ever done to fix it.

Narrow lane from Cousland Cres Seafield to R. Almond blocked by bushes, 3rd August
One household at the end of Almond View Seafield is allowing their hedging to grow out into the lane unchecked. The lane is narrow anyway and this foliage has taken over a good distance of the lane. Pedestrians can barely get through: a wheelchair or a bike or a baby's pram would have no chance. This needs addressed immediately.

Dangerous parking that blocks other road users view, 19th September
Neighbour has been parking close to fence and right back to the edge of the road over the public path outside his driveway (planning permission?)which blocks view of the road down the street and on coming traffic, as well as, view of cars coming up street of car driving out of car park bay. He has been doing this for over a year now. The traffic coming up the street can’t see car coming out of car park bay or children , parents with prams moving around vehicle to access the footpath ( causing a blind spot). When asked to park the car in car parking space and be mindful of other street users, said, he can park where he likes. This is an accident waiting to happen. I realise the car park is busy and congested at times but deliberately causing an obstruction like this is making it more dangerous for pedestrians and road users.
