David Stewart Gillies

Hello

My name is David Gillies and i am contacting all my local councillors about the access road to 154/174 Broomhill Dr where i stay the state of the road is unbelievable and my enquiries to get it fixed get me no where having contacted both Cube and Glasgow Roads department and getting the plans from both which contradict each other as to the owner of the road

i have all the information and the plans from both parties along with a full list of all adopted Roads off Broomhill Dr and picture of the holes taken a month or two back the holes are a lot worse now and i will be taking more pictures soon to put on the site to confirm this on my personal web site a link to the potholes i hope you can take the time to review my information and try to help fix this situation

the road leading to 154/ 174 Broomhill Dr has 204 houses and a great number of cars these roads have only had emergency repairs( tar dumped in hole) which does not last and the damage to the cars is extensive, I*i personally have had a great number of tyres replaced usually the same front right and major suspension repairs along with tracking done over 6 time in my 4 year old car

I can be contacted anytime on my Mobile xxxxxxxx and i am willing to do what i can to Get these Roads Adopted and Properly Repaired

Dear Mr Gillies

I refer to your undernoted email and can advise that temporary I have attached a plan indicating the adopted areas around the Broomhill Drive area as shown in our current records.

I trust this is of assistance, however, should you require any further information, please contact Stuart McKay on 0141

As you can see it shows the Roads in Broomhill All Cube properties have no adopted roads according to this map But the list of adopted Roads and cubes plans differ and will be getting back on to cube this week

Due to the fact that Glasgow city Council is Resurfacing the Main Broomhill Drive. I phoned the council to see if they are going to resurface the access road into the flats where I live. Got through to someone in the roads department who told me the road leading to my block of flats is not adopted (which I have argued with them before) I then phoned Cube Housing (regeneration team) who seem to think it is adopted. checking the adopted road list on Glasgow city council web site I found this:
Broomhill Road ref 5057 a Cul-de-sac off east kerb of Broomhill Dr adopted 1st march 1975
NOTE:” Propose stop up” which I have been told means it is to be removed from list of adopted roads I know this is not my address as far as I know their is no Broomhill Rd off Broomhill Dr it is the only cut off on Broomhill Dr that does not have a name the only other two exits on east side of the Dr is Broomhill place and Broomhill gardens.

From Google maps I have pictures of some of the potholes dated from 2009

    These potholes are a lot worse now and there is a lot more damage to the road over the years these hole have had a temporary fix numerous times  (some tar pored in the holes )  It is very frustrating as no one seems to Take responsibility for the Road mean time My car and my bank balance is one of many who suffer

I have had to change tyres usually front right numerous times about 4 times more than any other tyre, I rotate my tyres to keep an even tread on them , I have had the tracking done on the car at least twice a year since I got the car NEW in 2009 had to have a front bush and bottom ball joint replaced  due to damage

WHAT Else can I say :

CUBE Find out who owns the road and get it fixed
