This week as your Cllr 🗓️ Two significant announcements for Friockheim this week. Angus Medical Group is progressing plans for a new GP practice and specialist health centre at the former surgery. I also shared positive news on Friockheim Hub, with discussions underway to bring it back into use. Nothing is finalised, but continued community use looks increasingly possible. Many of you have asked about Arbroath Bus Station ahead of winter. Plans include reopening the waiting room following improvements to flooring, heating, seating and decoration, alongside toilet upgrades. I’ve asked officers for a reopening date and updates on passenger information. I’ll share their response. I’ve also been contacted about the planned winter closure of the West Links toilets. With Parkruns and other activities continuing, I believe these facilities should remain open year-round. I’m working with our officers to explore the options and will update residents as soon as I know more. Residents remain concerned about rats at Keptie Pond, particularly around Nolt Loan Road. Our teams have identified problem areas, installed underground rat boxes and monitored activity, while reviewing vegetation. Following further reports, I’ve escalated the matter again and asked what additional action is needed. On street lighting, operatives made several visits and SSEN checked the electricity supply, but the intermittent fault couldn’t be identified. If the flashing returns, please report it while it’s happening. Lighting in the car park behind Hawthorn Place is privately managed and is being referred back to Hillcrest. If you spot a pothole, broken light, damaged sign or other council issue, please use Report It first. Keep the reference number sent by email. If there’s no progress after two weeks, send it to me and I’ll follow up. What would you like me to focus on next? 👇
