Morgan took part in a walkabout in December arranged by Cllr Cullen, along with a rep from LES, K. Venables of GSF and Cllr M. McTernan where visible problems were noted and action promised. LES provided information on the new litter bin scheme which will be rolled out. Street litter bins will be replaced by larger ones that can be lifted mechanically. The bins will be “smart” ie technology will identify when they are full. The walkabout did not include South St. Removal of bulk up lift from pathways has been asked for along the walking bus route from St Paul’s School into and on the route taken down to South St. Ward 13 Cllrs have successfully had 2 sections of pathway, Primrose St and Scotstoun St. upgraded. Some progress with the blocked gulleys on Scotstoun St. but the ponding at the entrance to Primrose Court is still unresolved. Cllr McTernan suggested that WCC request similar walkabouts in the Victoria Park area esp. around Whiteinch Primary School. It was agreed that each councillor would carry out walkabouts on a rota basis. Cllr McTernan covering February- April inclusive, Cllr. Dalton covering May and June with Cllr. Aibinu covering August to October inclusive.
