Contractors have started work replacing the badly rutted anti-skid surface on Cookston Road at Hillside. They expect to be finished next week providing the weather holds out. The old surface has now been skimmed off, and they are on site today to start laying the new anti-skid surface. The reason for delay in undertaking this work was that it has to be done by a specialist firm, and they have a number of such tasks to undertake in the North East.

Over the past months I have been contacted by several residents about this. It is good that the work is now under way.
