Provost close is a multi story building in the centre. The tenants have no gardens etc  An area with seating bench and planters would be nice for the tenants in summer. Building has a lot of elderly tenants.

Bin Area for Dimity Street

2025-11-14  •  No comments  •  renjv25714  •  Johnstone & Villages

The block at 8-20 Dimity Street needs somewhere better to keep their bins. They stay on the street and can end up contaminated with passers by dumping rubbish in them. Can there be a slabbed area or bin shelters created here to take the bins off the street?

Additional Parking Spaces at Park Rd

2025-12-17  •  No comments  •  rho2525  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

This green space (which is housing land) could be turned into a car parking spaces. People have been dangerously parking on the corner of Park Rd/Craigston Road and it is impacting visibility for motorists and causing a danger to pedestrians. It would also save the council financially in maintaining the green space. There have been numerous enquiries from residents about this over the years.

The pathways behind numbers 31 to 35 Thornhill, Elderlsie are currently in dissreapear and would benefit from retarmacking. The bin sheds are falling apart and would benefit from an upgrade aswell.

Altpatrick Gardens Patio Area

While there is a patio area for residents of Altpatrick Gardens to enjoy, this requires an upgrady of plants, vegistable garden and new seating area. A shade area would be beneficial such as a retractable awning.

The Oaks

2025-12-04  •  No comments  •  rho2521  •  Housing Officer  •  Johnstone & Villages

A wide tarred or resin path coming from the double silver gates and leading to the seating area at the communal garden at the Oaks Sheltered housing complex.  I think a large path going from the double gates to the seating area would ensure all residents can access the area without going over the grass or residents gardens it would also be wheelchair accessible. The reason i'd like tarred or resin is to stop the issue of moss and weeds growing through and making it unsightly or dangerous for the elderly residents to walk on. I would also like to propose the path already there which comes from the communal lounge to the seating areas be replaced with a wider tarred or resin path for the same issues as already mentioned and the slabs underneath the benches replaced with same material to try and stop the yearly struggle of the ground becoming slippery for the residents.  I have used the resources availabe to me to tidy up the paths surrounding the areas however the funding needed for this project would be more than we have available.
