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 .

Abandoned vehicle, 2nd April
There is an abandoned black land rover that has been parked in the same place for about 2 months now, It has no road tax (Its marked as SORN but is parked in a public parking space) and its MOT expired in 2019. I reported it to the DVLA over a week ago but they have not done anything about it, they may have struggled to find it. It is parked behind some flats next to church street road just down a small slope, if you see some vehicles parked below some flats then it is down there and to the left.

Teach utilities to repair the road properly, 5th February
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.

Overgrown trees covering streetlights, 23rd September
This section of road is unlit and dangerous for pedestrians due to trees being excessively overgrown around the streetlights. It is a walking route for students between town and the college, so good lighting and safety should be a priority.
