Dog fouling getting worse as darkness falling earlier., 26th September
The flag on the map is really the central point of the problem. All streets in this area and across the village are seeing an increase in fog fouling as winter approaches. It is simply not acceptable that dog owners or walkers use darkness as an excuse for not picking up after their dog. As in a village location dogs should be on a lead or closely monitored. This has been a long term issue in Auchenblae.

Flooding, 11th September
The flooding has happened, and is becoming more frequent since the bridge at Kintore Street was repaired. It appears that the drains can no longer empty into the burn as bridge is well sealed. Pavement above the bridge is continuing to deteriorate and water can be seen coming up from below the pavement and causing flooding at the bottom of the road. There is an issue on the other side if the road where the drain over has lifted due to water pressure.

Pavement showing clear sign of damage over last few days., 20th July
The bridge under the road was repaired earlier this year and probably has little to do with this.
The dropped kerb at a neighbouring property is failing and recent rain has caused damage to pavement surface with several holes appearing.

Large trees require pruning., 26th June
Trees on High Street require pruning. It is our understanding that the Council has responsibility for pruning these trees every 3 years but this has not happened for at least 4 years. Subsequently, one tree in particular is now covering the top of a telephone pole (ref: 0IA) which has telephone wires to at least 5 houses emerging from it.
