Scottish Water slammed over lack of responsiveness

Dundee City Councillor for Tay Bridges Ward, Cllr Fraser Macpherson, has this afternoon (Friday 19th May), slammed Scottish Water for their lack of responsiveness following a young girl trapping her foot in a drain in Dundee's Commercial Street.

"Despite an apology from Scottish Water yesterday, I received a call from a constituent after lunch today to say the uncovered drain had still not been attended to. Having immediately checked the position, the gentleman who called me is completely correct - Scottish Water has not fixed the drain cover. There's a hole in the road any child's foot could slip down - its an accident waiting to happen," said Cllr Macpherson.

Cllr Macpherson said he has called Scottish Water's Emergency Helpline and they have promised action. He said this afternoon - "Actions speak louder than words and I really feel Scottish Water's response has been thoroughly inadequate."
