First New Town Walkabout Observations

Four NTBCC Community Councillors and two members of the public undertook a planned walk along certain streets of the First New Town following the route shown in the map below on Monday 28 October 2024.

We identified a number of issues worthy of note and further action including:

  1. Commercial Waste
  2. Condition of Setted Roads
  3. Charlotte Square Active Travel Measures
  4. Continuous Footpaths without Tactile Paving
  5. Condition and Appearance of Rose Street
  6. Graffiti

The following photographs give an indication of what we saw but the attached report  (Notes from NTBCC Walkabout (FNT)) provides details and more photographs of what we found and the areas where we believe further follow up is required. This report has been shared with our local Councillors and others.
