Would it be possible to add the degradation of Queen Margaret Road (closed) as an agenda item?
I have contact details for GCC roads dept and would be happy to extend an invitation to them.
With help from Ken Andrew, we successfully managed to have them temporarily fix a significant safety issue on the road above (Kelvinside Terrace South – where I live) and I am aware of the level of work which may be required.
Sorry about the delayed response & thanks for your message. Unless Tuesday’s agenda is revised we will probably discuss QMR either during Cllr Andrew’s report (item 5) or under AOB at the end. (There was some discussion at the November meeting though minutes are not yet confirmed.)
I was illegally fined for parking at the zone that l have parking permit for since the parking enforcement was applied since last August 2022. With the prediction that l didn’t park within bay , when l actually parked at the my permitted zone but at unmarked and no signs end road, which was at the back of my garden where l have been parking for the past 12 years. Further my investigation, l realised that the parking attendants laid on the road l was parked at and noted on the ticket that l was parked at xxxx when the ticket was stuck on my car windscreen at xxxx. I wrote to GCC to clarify the road mistake an even l presented evidence. But the review was rejected and the fine was not cancelled. So, now l was left without any other option but to call for justice and take the case to the court. Unfortunately, l lost faith in GCC parking unit. My area has been always very quiet, there are always parking availability at any time. Not sure why the restrictions were applied at it. GCC poor council, it’s trying to collect some pounds from residents for parking near their homes. It’s frustrating and upsetting experience that you have to stand up for justice.
