I hear that council staff have been patching various defects along the C13k road between Portlethen and Lairhillock over recent days, utilising hot patching material.

This is an ongoing issue with the continual pummelling from the AWPR site traffic using the Rothnick site/depot.

Following completion of the AWPR the council’s roads service will have to carry out more substantial works, including full depth patching, verge restoration, possibly embankment works and/or drainage works. The AWPR contractors are aware of the additional works required to this road … and this is without taking account of the on-going deterioration caused by their traffic.
