Pot hole and water leak?, 21st September
I have complained about this pothole time and time and time again. It gets botched repaired and it comes back. Is it the council or Scottish Water? I hate to see hundreds of litres of water pouring down the street. Best park is someone hat works for Scottish water parks their vans next to this pothole. I will keep this report so I can just cut and paste in another 6 months .

One of the Utikities companies had the road dug up maybe a year ago. It would be great if the repair after themselves properly or the council checked following the repair. Fed up with hitting this pot hole as you can’t avoid it due to street parking.
