News from Murd - the Firhall Bridge - a puddle too far - plus one other matter.

At the recent meeting of NRCC Murd asked Stephen Fuller how things were
progressing with the issue of the large puddle at the bottom of the Firhall steps bridge. At the March meeting Murd had asked if anything could be done to fill in the very incovenient puddle (picture right). Stephen Fuller had been to see the puddle and took up the issue on Murd's behalf. Nothing had been done however and the problem seemed to be that an official was not answering Stephen's e-mails. Gone are the days when somebody could be dispatched to sort a wee problem like that the next morning? 

Murd is also campaigning for something to be done about what he considers to be two dangerous trees close to the riverside footpath on the Househill side of the River as you approach the Firhall Bridge.

    We need many trees from Jubilee to Firhall. Rowan, Birch and some Beech would really revive a very tired and dead looking riverside.
    Has anyone else got ideas for a replanting programme I would definitely give my time to help. Do KNB think that could be achieved.?
