Melville Crescent gets a second chance

History - CCWEL was supposed to bring street trees and wider sandstone footways to Melville Crescent, and a return of the setted street carriageway (using the setts which currently lie hidden under the existing asphalt surface). It was,

These are moments I will never forget, and come after many years of effort from Council staff. 👍

It was great to see Lesley Hinds there yesterday, and it was disappointing Cllr Lesley Macinnes could not make it - both of my predecessors had huge influence over the project. 👍
