Parkgrove Crescent in Clermiston has been resurfaced as part of the council’s micro asphalt programme, yet the contractor simply carried on with the work around parked cars, instead of waiting for them to be moved.

00:00I'm here at Park Grove Crescent in Clermiston where locals were left
00:04baffled when council resurfacing works came to their street to fix the
00:10potholes that people were concerned about here but as you can see here
00:15wherever there was a car parked they just walked around it instead of waiting
00:19for the car to be moved. It's left several patches like this on the
00:23Clermiston Street looking rather unsightly and some locals are rather angry about it.
00:30Local residents told me that although they were happy the road had been
00:34resurfaced as it had had a lot of potholes previously they were surprised
00:37to see the patches of untreated road and they were hoping that council workers
00:41will return to finish their work as soon as possible. The council's transport and
00:46environment convener councillor Scott Arfor told Even News that properties
00:50were given three to four weeks notice and that all properties were sent
00:54leaflets three to four days before work was carried out. He also said that the
00:59contractor will be returning to complete the unsurfaced areas in due course.
