ABANDONED cars continue to be a source of annoyance to residents of the eight streets. At a meeting of South Kessock Residents Association on 24th April Councillor Peter Corbett said that 10 vehicles were being removed the next day. Paul Neville from the housing department pointed out when a car was apparently dumped they first had to try and establish who it belonged to. “If we can establish the owner, we warn them; if not, we put a notice on it.”

The meeting also heard that there was no quick fix with regard to these vehicles. It was agreed to write to Northern Constabulary to encourage tougher action on this problem. One tenant complained that there was no back gate in their new fencing and dustbins had to be dragged through the house. It was explained that this was only in a few cases, because of the danger of their proximity to the railway line.
Once the Craigton Avenue centre was open again, the estate workers duties would be better organised, members were told. There had been some complaints about garden rubbish being left. There was also much discussion about the CCTV cameras.

It was agreed to join in with other bodies involved in the Ferry Picnic in the West Field this summer.
Carol Curtin, now Mackenzie, was congratulated on her appoinment as Tenant Participation Officer.
