]]> Comment on Core Paths around Brimmond Hill by Andrew http://www.kwells.org/core-paths-around-brimmond-hill/#comment-21 Andrew Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:05:49 +0000 http://www.kwells.org/?p=540#comment-21 Take care on the core path 42 Kingswells Crescent to core path 33 Brimmonnd Hill, it is classified as "unfinished" & in poor condition. Wellies are advisable for this time of year. "The City’s core path network is still undergoing continuing improvements. Whilst we do not currently have works scheduled for this particular path link, there are ongoing discussions about how & when to address the issues affecting this path. We appreciate that it is a ‘missing link’ in the network of the Kingswells area. With community support we would intend to raise this higher in our priorities & seek funding for improvements." ref Alistair Watson Take care on the core path 42 Kingswells Crescent to core path 33 Brimmonnd Hill, it is classified as “unfinished” & in poor condition.

]]> Comment on Installation of Toucan Crossing on Kingswells Bypass by KCC http://www.kwells.org/installation-of-toucan-crossing-on-kingswells-bypass/#comment-20 KCC Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:26:04 +0000 http://www.kwells.org/?p=510#comment-20 The road layout will change as part of the road improvements associated with the Prime Four business park. An additional lane will be introduced and this will allow a safe right turn towards Fairley Road. Work will begin on the development around May this year, so hopefully the road improvements will not be too long in coming.

This surely would be a safer and more fluid setup? We already have a dangerous setup here with the way the traffic flows in and around the area leading to & from Fairly Road and the roundabout at Kingswells.

Pity it will not last more than ten years. Untreated timber built into a bog is not a good idea. They have done a very good job. Pity it will not last more than ten years.

]]> Comment on Council to take part in second phase of government affordable housing initiative by Helen http://www.kwells.org/council-to-take-part-in-second-phase-of-government-affordable-housing-initiative/#comment-5 Helen Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:05:55 +0000 http://kwells.org/?p=277#comment-5 Sorry, did I miss this completely before??? First 'affordable' housing courtesy of our friend S Milne, and now this? This is extremely bad news for Kingswells. The reason most people live here is because they work hard, and live respectable lives. I have no problem with housing being offered to those who hold jobs and need to get their first foot on the housing ladder, and I respect completely that not everyone on benefits and in council accommodation is a low life, but from experience, they are in the minority. Without doubt this will lead to increased crime, vandalism and have a negative affect on houseprices. Not only that, Kingswells and Cults will now be associated with Tillydrone and Northfield. And when will the community get additional resources? I shall not hold my breath. I realise many reading this will consider me to be prejudiced, but I have worked with those on benefits previously and also had to live in council accommodation in my younger years so please respect my opinion as I will respect yours.
