Road surfacing hiccup
The Kincardine and Mearns road surface dressing programme has now been completed, with the exception of Thistle Drive in Portlethen (between the railway bridges).
Site notices had been erected however a couple of cars were parked on site yesterday. Roads Service staff tried to locate the owners of both vehicles by carrying out door to door checks, but they could not find either owner. One of the vehicles had moved by the end of yesterday, and Police Scotland were contacted to trace the owner of the remaining vehicle.
Police Scotland that the vehicle owner was in Aviemore, and would not be returning until midday today. This unfortunately has resulted in an area of Thistle Drive where surface dressing could not be carried out during the programme. The Roads Service aim to complete the final section of surface dressing within the next two weeks.
