- Construction of additional drainage
- Construction of a new retaining wall
- Road asphalting
- Installation of new safety barrier.
Temporary Traffic Changes
Due to limited space at the site, there will be no through access between South Esk Road and Bain Terrace during the works.
- South Esk Road will operate as a no-through road between South Bank and Bain Terrace.
- Bain Terrace will operate as a no-through road between Delamere Crescent and South Esk Road.
Property access will be maintained, and kerbside waste collection will continue as normal.

We are committed to delivering this project with as little disruption as possible and we appreciate the community's co-operation and patience while we carry out these important repairs.
